- caused the Kansas board in charge of balloting to back down within 48 hours from its objection to the lack of proof of Obama's citizenship

- ridiculing Vice President Dan Quayle for his supposed gaffes, in contrast with downplaying gaffes by liberals
- forcing President Richard Nixon to resign for covering up a scandal, in contrast with defending President Bill Clinton's covering up a scandal
- sex abuse in public schools is worse than in religious institutions, yet the media constantly bullies religious (especially Catholic) officials about it

- the media portrays Paris Hilton as dumb, but she's no dumber than other Hollywood figures
