| Conservatives hit Beck for taking content without attribution Posted: 18 Apr 2011 09:00 PM PDT By Matthew Boyle – The Daily Caller A number of conservative activists and bloggers say they're furious at media magnate Glenn Beck for what they call content theft. Over the past several years, Beck has relied on video, audio and written content from others to fill his radio and television shows, as well as his websites. Often he has credited his fellow conservatives for their work. Yet in many other instances say dozens of conservative journalists who spoke to The Daily Caller, he has not, often taking elaborate steps to cloak the origins of the material. Publisher Andrew Breitbart has seen a number of his stories surface on various Beck media properties over the past few years. While he describes himself as "grateful for the many times he has credited me and my sites," Breitbart says that "sometimes he also uses other peoples' work without crediting them, making it appear as though it were his own. But especially since adopting 'The Truth Has No Agenda' slogan – and trying to deliberately re-position himself as the pious conscience and judge of many of those he took content from – he has exposed himself to his new motto's unforgiving standard." |
| Congressman leads an exercise in fundraising Posted: 18 Apr 2011 09:00 PM PDT Partytime / POSTED – 04.14.11/ BY Patrick Simmons According to an invitation received by Party Time, Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., is running for Congress. No, really, he is running. And he's inviting donors to run with him. Allen West wants to whip those Washington fat cats into shape while simultaneously collecting some campaign donations with his "Run West" event on Thursday, May 5. The event promises to start out like any other with an hour-long reception at the Capitol Hill Club, but after that the former Lieutenant Colonel of the U.S. Army will be rallying his troops for a four mile run across the National Mall.

| Tea Party: Cut Spending Before Raising Debt Ceiling Posted: 18 Apr 2011 09:00 PM PDT By IMTIYAZ DELAWALA April 17, 2011 Freshmen congressional members of the Tea Party say they will not vote to raise the debt ceiling without guaranteed structural changes to “The American people sent us here because in a large way they recoiled against a lot of this spending the President was putting upon us,” representative Joe Walsh, R-Ill., said. “If you’re going to ask this Congress to support a raise in the debt ceiling, there’s got to be something structural on the spending side.” Representative Steve Southerland, R-Fla., agreed that guarantees on spending cuts must be made to secure his vote. “We’ve got to have some guarantees going forward … that if we raise that debt ceiling, that we get this economy on a trajectory to where we service our debt,”. |
| Palin: Wis. gov doing the right thing with unions Posted: 17 Apr 2011 09:00 PM PDT By TODD RICHMOND, Associated Press – Sat Apr 16, 6:27 pm ET  MADISON, Wis. – Sarah Palin defended Wisconsin’s governor at a tea party tax day rally Saturday, telling hundreds of supporters that his polarizing union rights law is designed to save public jobs. Braving snow showers and a frigid wind outside the state Capitol building, the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate told tea partyers she’s glad to stand with Gov. Scott Walker. Hundreds of labor supporters surrounded the rally, trying to drown Palin out with chants of “Hey-hey, ho-ho, Scott Walker has got to go!” and “Recall Walker!” “Hey, folks! He’s trying to save your jobs and your pensions!” Palin yelled into the microphone. “Your governor did the right thing and you won! Your beautiful state won! And people still have their jobs!” Walker, a Republican, signed a bill into law last month that calls for almost all public workers to contribute more to their pensions and health care coverage, changes that amount to an average 8 percent pay cut. The plan also strips them of their right to collectively bargain on anything except wages. Walker has said the law will help balance a $3.6 billion hole in the state budget and give local governments the flexibility they need to absorb deep cuts in state aid. Democrats, though, think Walker wants to weaken unions, one of their strongest constituencies. |
