And by a rather large margin: Today Barack Obama earned the endorsement of MoveOn, one of the largest grassroots membership organizations in the United States, after clobbering Hillary Clinton by 40 percent in Internet balloting. Obama led the final tally 70.4% to 29.6%, clearing the supermajority required for the endorsement. MoveOn, which has never endorsed […]
There was a lot of discussion about the CNN/YouTube Democratic debate on the talk shows yesterday, but there was no mention of the stalled Republican debate? Why don’t the Sunday talking heads want people to know the Republicans are to chicken to take questions from the people? They sure talked it up when the Democrats […]
That is something the wingnuts have been bolstering lately; “the insurgency is standing up to al Qaeda”. While it is true, they fail to mention the other part of that equation. The Guardian has published an article explaining this (and repeating what the left has been saying): Seven of the most important Sunni-led insurgent organisations […]
(image courtesy of Democracy Lost) Once again we have a scandal surrounding the current White House and once again we have the right-wing talking heads out there with towing their typical defense of “well Clinton did it”. This time the excuse is being applied to the U.S.A. purge. A lot of Bush apologists are out […]

This afternoon on MSNBC we got a great taste of how right-wing talking heads can easily loose it. In two different segments, right wing talk radio hose Steve Malzberg was debating former Air America host Mike Malloy on Foleygate then later on teachers having guns in school. In both instances Malzberg attacked the MSNBC host. […]
After two straight weeks of Russert pandering to the right, we finally get a week with a Democrat on Meet the Press: Joe Biden Hans Blix Round Table: John Harwood & Gwen Ifill Then on Stephanopoulos we get a special treat when Al Gore joins him for his first sit-down in over three years. Then […]
While watching CNN this morning, I was (un)fortunate enough to watch an interview with Dan Bartlett, the White House Chief Propagandist and Spinmeister Communications Director, whose primary responsibility seems to be parroting Administration talking points while wearing a beatific smile and knowingly denigrating the intentions of Democrats. Bartlett seemed intent on focusing on talk of […]
Seems some of the conservatives out there have a problem with Ann Coulter. They even went through the hassle of producing a documentary on her. Check outBrad Blog for the details. With O’Reilly talking about retirement, Coulter on the outs with her party and Limbaugh’s drug problem getting investigated again, that is going to leave […]
