While they are not concerned with churches that support Republican candidates or tell members to leave their church if they voted for Kerry, the Republicans sure do worry about the NAACP: Several Republican members of Congress sent letters to the Internal Revenue Service questioning whether the NAACP had veered into political advocacy and asked for […]
We heard that Osama attacked us because “they hate us for our freedoms”. Now a real President would have gone out and done what he could to protect those freedoms and flaunt them in the face of our attackers. Instead Bush exposed a pussified America and used it to shred our civil liberties. Now we […]
Crooks and Liars is back up and running (it was not a hack as some people think). Firedoglake may be intermittent today. We transferred the servers over to the new hosting company last night and changed the DNS. It generally takes 24-48 hours for a DNS to propagate through the millions of nameservers around the […]
That is a mailing by California Republican Bill Conrad, a candidate for the State Assembly. Typical Republican attack – get on their health. Could you image what the right would have done if Edwards said something like this about Dick Cheney in 2004? Hey Bill Conrad – at least Tom Berryhill has a heart you […]

An Inconvenient Truth is already being coined as “alarming” and “frightning”. Perhaps that is why the big oil companies are running scared and getting ready to spend their money (or should I say our money) to launch counter ads, as Think Progress points out: Today, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) will unveil two 60-second TV […]
On his second day behind the White House cameras, Tony Snow once again put his foot in his mouth. Today he suggested that ABC was a “competing network” and now the question is – competing against what? Q Okay. But, I mean, maybe it was a terrific meeting. As far as I can tell, that […]
One good thing about the Bush administration – we sure have seen a good number of Republicans going to jail: A senior official in U.S. President George W. Bush’s re-election campaign was sentenced to 10 months in prison on Wednesday for his role in suppressing votes in a key U.S. Senate race, a scandal that […]
