After The Combat Troops Leave Iraq, Mostly Silence On The Right

National Security

Face it – the right hate seeing combat operations come to an end. Their silence on the milestone being reached last night in the 7 year war proves the claims the left has made for years; the right loves them some war. For example, how do you think the champion news site of the right, […]

Surya Yalamanchili Wins OH-02 Democratic Primary

Politics

As I pointed out yesterday, one of the more interesting primaries held yesterday was that in the OH-02 Democratic primary, where the winner will face Jean Schmidt in the fall. The race gained national attention last week when candidate David Krikorian told a group of people that Yalamanchili couldn’t win any elections because of his […]

The Noise And Silence From The Right

Media

Last night I noticed something rather interesting. Before the breaking news email alerts went out of the suspected “shoe bombing” aboard United Flight 663 the right side of the blogosphere jumped into action. It was like watching a seed turn into a tree in some cartoon where they put some sort of Acme Super Grow […]

Retweeting Is A “Full-Court Press”?

Media

I was following the back and forth between Jane Hamsher and Katrina vanden Heuve on Twitter the other night regarding health care. I then noticed this post by Jane yesterday: There’s a very slick PR letter posted online that’s being furiously retweeted by DC political operatives. I wasn’t going to address it, but the editor […]

Does Small Town Values Mean Fake Outrage And Ignoring Issues?

Misc

This week has been totally dominated by fake outrage and a total silence on the issues from the McCain campaign. We’ve heard about lipstick, fish, teaching sex-ed to six year olds, and a plethora of lies from McCain and Palin. At the same time Obama has been talking about education, the economy, Iraq, the war […]

Why The Outrage?

Misc

McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, has sent a very nasty letter to NBC about the claims that McCain may have heard the questions. Sully has the fully letter. So why is the McCain campaign taking such a defensive approach to this? A general reaction to something like this would be “we won’t answer such false […]

Republicans Wanting To Kill Our Troops

Misc

That’s what we should be seeing in the news, but we aren’t. Instead the media is silent on the Republicans filibustering the funding bill for our troops, all because they want to give the oil companies what they want. Think of every time there was a delay by Democrats in passing the war funding bills. […]

McCain = Bush! More Than You Think

Misc

Last night this clip showed on Countdown. It’s of a 60 year old librarian who was charged with trespassing because she carried a sign that read “McCain=Bush” to a McCain town hall meeting: She asks the question the media has been afraid to – why do the Republicans hide from the McCain=Bush analogy so much? […]

An Interesting Silence

Misc

It has been almost two hours since news broke that Republican Congressman and McCain’s Arizona campaign co-chair, Rick Renzi, was indicted. In that time there has not been a peep out of the right wing blogs. Not even a thing on Drudge. Hot Air also seems to be ignoring this rather big story. Hey guys […]

Freepers Or Muslim Fundamentalists?

Misc

Yesterday we learned about the poor woman who was allegedly gang raped by Halliburton employees in Iraq, held against her will and threatened if she told anyone. Today we have the less than humans at the Free Republic calling this poor woman every name in the book. Isn’t this the same kind of thing people […]
