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

Juan Williams Wakes the Hell Up
Commentator Juan Williams was serving two masters: FOX Noise, which has no standards, and NPR, which has high standards. He couldn’t serve both masters to the full satisfaction of either. Now that he no longer appears on the public airwaves, … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Allen West Says I’m Next
Congressman Allen West isn’t to be satisfied by my service in the US Army, where I learned to avoid commanding officers like him: I’m simply not as “American” as him, so I don’t get the privilege of the First Amendment. … Continue reading
This Is What We’re Up Against
By Emilia 1956 Watch, listen and learn:- This woman will vote, peeps. She will vote for the Republican Party. She’s a Teabagger, but, you know, if Mitt Romney – the man whom noted political pundit, Bill Maher, thinks could so … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Bombing the Occupation
Remember the guns at tea parties? Remember all variety of treasonous birther nonsense? Ancient history, I know, but I’ve been trying and failing to remember a time when tea parties had to watch out for bomb-throwing leftie anarchists. You know, … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Cheering For Death
If you’re shocked that an audience would cheer for death by lack of insurance, you haven’t gotten to know this audience. I’ve been following tea parties, particularly the Tea Party Express, on video and in my blogging, since they started; … Continue reading
They Are Not Listening
In case you haven’t heard, some tea party folks turned up at the president’s stop in Iowa today to complain about Joe Biden calling them “terrorists” in the debt ceiling crisis (which is what they were). The president tried to … Continue reading
Tea Parties Hate Planning
Tea parties hate planning. The very word is anathema. I first twigged to this in 1990, when I encountered a right-wing nutjob outside the Maryville, TN city hall with a sign that called zoning ordinances “COMMUNIST RULE!!!” As I keep … Continue reading
Stripped to Their Core, Tea Parties are More Dangerous than Ever
This is a week old, but there’s a reason I’m quoting it now: A small political gathering of about 18 liberal thinkers at River Forks Park Sunday afternoon erupted in conflict when about 35 members of the conservative tea party … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Racism Comes Out of the Tea Party Closet
Remember “Lil Obama”? The elder white man who showed up at a 2008 Sarah Palin campaign rally with a stuffed monkey that had an Obama bumper-sticker for a crown? Remember Palin rallygoers speaking their crazy-minds about Obama’s religion and background? … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Tea Party Nation Queering
Remember Tea Party Nation, the for-profit tea party that held a convention with Sarah Palin at the Gaylord Opryland in 2010? Remember how tea parties were totally all about fiscal responsibility instead of social issues? Color me unsurprised: I believe the … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Bin Laden Death Porn
I’m happy that Osama bin Laden is dead. I hope it hurt really bad when he got shot in the face. I’m glad they took pictures and a DNA sample and dumped him into the ocean without ceremony. I don’t … Continue reading
