This whole birther movement is just plain craziness. I equate them with the “truthers” who constantly try to say 9/11 was some big Dr. Evil style plot put together by Bush and Co. There is one big difference though. The truthers never received the support of big names in either political party. The birthers seems […]
Today’s contestant is Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama. On Fox News this morning, Shelby reaffirmed his belief that Obama was taking us “down the road of socialism”. The big thing he blamed? WALLACE: Sen. Shelby, you say that the Obama administration is taking us down the road to socialism. Explain. SHELBY: Well, obviously. So, they […]
Conservatives are out with their talking points on Sonia Sotomayor and they are priceless. I guess they couldn’t find anything to go after her on, so they decided they would question her intellect. So they want to compare Sotomayor to Harriet Miers. How many courts did Miers serve on when Bush nominated her? Oh yeah […]

How would the right and the media be reacting if Kos tweeted that Bush was a “goat fucking child molester”?
After yesterday’s back and forth of rather or not Jane Harman got the New York Times to hold the wiretapping story in 2004, it is now confirmed. She in fact did: Congresswoman Harman spoke to Washington Bureau Chief Phil Taubman in late October or early November, 2004, apparently at the request of General Hayden. She […]
Their is still furor on the right over that DHS report. I particularly like this line: Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the House Republican leader, said Wednesday he was offended that veterans were characterized as potential domestic terrorists Yeah – how could we assume military veterans would become domestic terrorist! Timothy James McVeigh (April 23, […]
Larry Johnson’s blog, No Quarter, never ceases to amaze me. Here is one of his writers claims today: In a brilliant rebuttal to coordinated attacks from the far left, this Wall Street Journal op-ed, “Tax Day Becomes Protest Day – How the tea parties could change American politics.” (related stories) nails the true genesis of […]
