Andrew Sullivan takes Malkin to task on her alarmist tone over the DHS report: Why, one wonders, would Michelle Malkin read a DHS report on fringe, far-right extremism that could lead to violence or Oklahoma-style domestic terrorism and think … they’re talking about her? Rightwing nut-jobs have been the number one purveyor of domestic terrorism […]
That was the advice Joe Scarborough had for his “conservative brethren” this morning. You think Joe would know that his party has always been the greatest embracers of conspiracy theories. That’s all they have to sell their broken ideology. Off the top of my head, here’s a few we heard over the past several years: […]
Sadly though what they are recycling is old talking points: RNC chair Michael Steele has unleashed a new attack on Obama, sending out a mass mailing attacking the President as part of the “blame America first” crowd, an apparent effort to prove to critics that he’s getting tougher with the opposition. But this might be […]
During the Bush years any dissent we showed on the left from the Bush policies was met with a fear of retribution from our government. The Pentagon even spent resources spying on protestors during the Bush years. This at a time when our nation was in two very deadly wars. Well here we are with […]
TBogg has a great promotion for the teabaggers sent out by Human Events. It’s perfect for an early morning laugh. (and the irony that the main publication Ann Coulter works for is into tea bagging. Oh my!!!)
People don’t like Cheney and they don’t support his baseless claims either: Seventy-two percent of those questioned in the poll released Monday disagree with Cheney’s view that some of Obama’s actions have put the country at greater risk, with 26 percent agreeing with the former vice president. Dick Cheney is like the old guy on […]
This story is from Saturday and I haven’t seen much mention of it: The bank has instructed Wall Street law firm Chadbourne & Parke to pursue blogger Mike Morgan, warning him in a recent cease-and-desist letter that he may face legal action if he does not close down his website. Florida-based Mr Morgan began a […]
I’m sure the wingnuts will be claiming that after hearing the big news of the day: President Barack Obama is allowing Americans to make unlimited transfers of money and visits to relatives in Cuba and easing other restrictions Monday, ushering in a new era of openness toward the island nation ruled by communists for 50 […]
When we were talking about the stimulus bill the GOP’s biggest talking point was that “the government doesn’t create jobs”. As a little refresher, here’s Michael Steele saying just that in February: My how time changes things, even if its only two months. Now that there is a new military budget out there, one that’s […]
Remember when Joe Biden said someone would really test Obama early in his presidency? Well I would consider the pirates capturing U.S. ships and crew as a test, and after yesterday’s news of the Hollywood style rescue of captain Richard Phillips, it looks like he passed his first big military test. For President Obama, last […]
