GG can't help himself. He will do/say/write any lie to cast PBO in a negative light, even if he knows instinctively that it's BS. IMO, his...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Greenwald doesn't care how much of a racist/bigot Paul is proven to be. He has an irrational hatred for POTUS. Wonder why?Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Glenn Greenwald needs to get off the Ron Paul/Koch/Libertarian teet. Hasn't he read the Anonymous "Ron Paul Hearts Neo-Nazis at Home and Abr...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Let's not forget Glenn's mindset in the aftermath of 9/11, the very attack that directly led to the AUMF: "This is not to say that I was no...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Football is Progressive
I have to hand it to Bill Maher on this one: football is the most progressive sport ever, and the perfect rejoinder to anyone who tells you that socialism is un-American, or that it doesn’t work. It also proves that … Continue reading
Think The Republicans Are Splintering? Think Again
By Emilia1956 Our biggest problem – the Left’s – is that we’re stupid. Or rather, we’re naive. So naive, we never learn from our mistakes. And we listen too much to the Professional Left. No sooner had Barack Obama won … Continue reading
Obotomapologies
When President Obama was elected, he used the words “Armenia” and “genocide” in the same sentence because words are important. He was right to do so. He is wrong now for not using them in the same sentence. While I … Continue reading
The Punk Patriot Wants Peace
Progressive discontent with the president mainly centers around the president’s use or non-use of presidential power. If the president would only ignore Congress and close Guantanamo unilaterally, the argument goes, then he could keep his promise. Besides (the argument inevitably … Continue reading
The Politics of Being Progressive
In 2011, the progressive blogosphere assumed that fabled, infamous circular firing squad formation and opened fire. The internal politics of netroots are showing up in posts. Digby: The jobs numbers are good, but there also good reason to contain the jubiliation … Continue reading
Just in Case Anyone’s Really Thinking Ron Paul Is the Answer
By Emilia1956 OK, everybody who thinks Ron Paul’s the only politician worth the bother, who thinks he’s the answer to your wet dreams of getting a Progressive (well, what you define as “Progressive”) foot into the door of government, tell … Continue reading
Alan Grayson: Judged by the Company He Keeps?
Alan Grayson’s runnning for Congress again next year. Somehow, I seem to be on his mailing list, and this weekend seems to be his money bomb weekend. Yesterday, I received an e-mail, courtesy of ActBlue, featuring this endorsement of Grayson, … Continue reading
How To Occupy Main Street From Wall Street
I’m hardly “power elite” or “establishment media,” but apparently I’m a “liberal scold” when it comes to occupying Wall Street. Kevin Gosztola on the crowd in Liberty Park, via FDL: The organizers, who pride themselves in being “leaderless,” have sought … Continue reading
The Smiley-West Bitchfest Solves Nothing
Funny how Obama-bashing lefties will say their Puritanical criticisms of the president have no effect on the progressive agenda, then turn around and hammer any critique of the Wall Street uprising as pointless, counterproductive bitching. Over at The American Prospect, an … Continue reading
Ralph Nader Can Run For Dog Catcher Or STFU
Borrowing from my co-blogger, I’ve got two words for the idea of running a primary opponent against President Obama: SLOW. CLAP.
Wall Street Uprising Is Not A Main Street Production
The New York Times reported on events in the city this weekend: Throughout the afternoon hundreds of demonstrators gathered in parks and plazas in Lower Manhattan. They milled, held teach-ins, engaged in discussion and debate and in some instances embarked … Continue reading
