Think about it. Every time the Democrats do something that makes the netroots happy Republicans quickly bash them as being taken over by the “fringe” elements. They quickly blast Move On and DailyKos as “taking over the party”. It always goes through me, like the sound of Coulter, when I hear this used. Are these […]
I posted earlier today on Don Young (R-AK) using this bogus quote, which he attributed to Lincoln, on the House floor: Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged As I said – that quote was not from Lincoln, but […]
They keep attributing a quote to Lincoln that was not even his- “Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.”. Here is Rep. Don Young (R-AK) using it on the House floor yesterday. The problem is Lincoln never said that. […]
It appears that way. On Tuesday I blogged about the Pelosi plane controversy started by the Washington Times. Josh Marshal was all over this story and said that it was not Pelosi wanting this plane, but rather the military. You can read that full posting here. Well Pelosi just held a press conference and said […]
Heard about this “Pelosi wants a military jet” crap going on? Well Josh is all over it: Below we noted that the Washington Times story about Nancy Pelosi’s demand for a military aircraft for travel back to her district appears to be a crock.

The right wingers jump every time the word “classified” or “secret” is used as a source in a New York Times article. Well how about if the Washington Times uses the same terms? Recent U.S. intelligence analyses of North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs were flawed and the lack of clarity on the issue hampered […]
Not much information yet, but Sean Hannity just said that the Washington Times is calling for him to resign. The wheels on the GOP machine are off and gone.
This was reported on Wednesday. I was planning on posting about it and totally forgot. Luckily Larry Johnson didn’t forget. Now the time is appropriate to read: Metropolitan Police today charged the director of human resources at The Washington Times with one count of attempting to entice a minor on the Internet. Randall Casseday, 53, […]
When Bush took to the airwaves a couple of months ago to address the nation from the Oval Office regarding immigration, I had my typical thought of Bushit, and his plan to send 6,000 National Guard troops to the border especially reeked of it. Now the very conservative Washington Times is realizing Bush’s plan has […]
With the death of Zarqawi brings a new and interesting question – could we have helped out al Qaeda? To help you understand this line of thinking, let’s go back in the near past (h/t to Think Progress on this one): Jordanian-born al Qaeda militant Abu Musab Zarqawi has been replaced as head of the […]
