Tyranny Of The Imagination
According to Malcolm Wiley of the Secret Service, this is NOT (repeat NOT) a Secret Service agent directing a riot squad in Quincy, IL yesterday: Wiley explained that the Secret Service routinely marks a perimeter around venues like the Oakley … Continue reading
Reductio ad Hitlerum
From now on, I am linking to this whenever scare words show up in comment threads.
Morning Awful
The wingnuts are still convincing themselves the illusions they project on Obama are real. In fact, if anything they’re doubling down. The blank screen-quality he cultivated draws obsessive psychological projection. I’m giving out two worst tweet awards: Which is why … Continue reading
Sarah Palin’s Base
I’m heading to Birmingham now to get Sarah Palin’s autograph, so here’s a video bound to scare the bejeezus out of 74% of the American public. It’s an abbreviated version of a documentary on the evangelical movement she claims as … Continue reading
New Huffington Post Article
My new Huffington Post article, “Obama is Not God: the Projection Principle,” is up. Please read, share, and promote via the social media networks of your choosing! Money quote: To date, no one has quoted Obama claiming to be God. … Continue reading

Dirty Hippies
The “dirty hippies” smear is one of the oldest examples of conservative psychological projection. Just like “don’t call me a racist, you racist,” there is “enviroweenies are bad for the environment.” Reagan provided the most epic example of this when … Continue reading
An Exercise in Projection
Michele Bachmann’s most important sound bites have been on talk radio, which says a lot about her. Just a couple of weeks ago, Bachmann told Wing Nut Daily that she would run for president “if called.” Here, she claims the … Continue reading
That Palin Article
Unless you live under a rock, you know that Michael Jackson is dead and Todd Purdum has written an article for Vanity Fair about Sarah Palin. What does it say about the nature of modern American politics that a public … Continue reading
