Lefty scribe flags Republican Stapleton on wife’s pay
—
by
When left is right, they’re right. Case in point: Jason Salzman of the left-leaning Colorado Times Recorder, who checked the records and caught a mistake missed by Republican gubernatorial nominee Walker Stapleton. Salzman parsed Stapleton’s financial disclosure paperwork required to be a candidate. Salzman then compared that with the tax report of the Harmes C.…

Cynthia Coffman (still) doesn’t have much to say about abortion
—
by
Cynthia Coffman – nor her staff – want to talk about abortion. Three months into her run for governor, Colorado’s Republican attorney general still isn’t clarifying where she stands on the divisive issue that’s a pretty big deal to a lot of bedrock conservatives in Colorado – at least some of whom she would need…

—
by
James O’Keefe fancies himself a guerrilla journalist, but the conservative provocateur was stung by his own fake news again recently when he tried to sting the Washington Post with clumsy spy-kid tactics.

If you’re trying to justify Jack Phillips’s refusal to sell a wedding cake to a same-sex couple, you have to be pretty creative, especially when Colorado law plainly says a bakery can’t discriminate against gays. How to do this? Phillips’ supporters are bending backwards, sideways, and forward to present the baker as a devout Christian “cake…

Colorado’s swamp drainer Ken Buck bashes big business’ voice in Washington
—
by
Ken Buck and talk radio go together like peanut butter and jelly. And just about anytime the conservative Republican U.S. rep from Colorado’s 4th Congressional District turns up on the airwaves, it’s also likely to turn up on the radar of left-ish media watchdog and political blogger Jason Salzman. That’s how we learned of a…
