So much contention over the past several days has occurred within the progressive blogosphere. It’s time to do another post calling it out. First on the agenda is the issue of President Obama saying that he never campaigned on the public option. This was a false claim, no matter how some want to spin it. […]
The website defendglenn.com has been fighting back against the boycotts of Glenn Beck. The mission statement of their site even states as much in rather bold terms: Ironically it turns out that their site was actually pushing a lie, not about Glenn Beck, but about Color of Change: DefendGlenn.com on several occasions inaccurately reported that […]
Image via Wikipedia It’s been over a week now since some hacked emails from the Climate Research Unit surfaced showing that researches sexed up some data; something the right is calling “climategate” and proof that global warming is a hoax. Since then the right has complained nonstop about the lack of media coverage on this […]
I am speechless: While they are calling Ft. Hood a terrorist attack, Dana Perino, George Bush’s press secretary, says “we didn’t have a terrorist attack on our country under the Bush term” and Sean Hannity just lets it go. We had the biggest terrorist attack in history on Bush’s watch. How could Perino and Hannity […]
Well that’s apparently what Chuck Todd thinks if you read his tweets: (source 1 and 2) Cohen is more like a moderate Republican. He was an advocate supporter of the Iraq War and pretty much everything George Bush. Chuck Todd has done nothing but once again show his ignorance for about everything political.
And they came out already, starting with Hannity, who is claiming that President Obama knew about Maj. Hasan. As Cesca reminds us: After 9/11, everyone — everyone — supported President Bush. But it’s clear that the wingnuts and Republicans will never give our current president the same deference. But what about George Bush – did […]
This tidbit from a new CNN poll shows that Obama actually has more support down south than the very Republican George Bush did: Fifty-seven percent say Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush; only a third say Bush’s track record was better. “Compared to Obama, Bush does fairly well among southerners and […]
Sounds simple enough – doesn’t it? Well apparently not, and this is where we go to the latest escapades of one Liz Cheney: “I think that what President Bush used to do is do it without the cameras. And I don’t understand sort of showing up with the White House Press Pool with photographers and […]
The news of the day hands down is the news that Iran has been working on a second nuclear plant. This comes as a surprise to the world, but not the world leaders and intelligence communities: American officials said that they had been tracking the covert project for years, but that Mr. Obama decided to […]
The whole czar thing was a topic of conversation during today’s press conference: John Aravosis has found an interesting piece of data about czars: George Bush started the whole czar craze, and actually had more than President Obama. Now that’s an interesting turn you won’t hear the wingnuts talk about – just the same way […]
