Another apparent act of right wing terror.
Thanks religious right.
Thanks Bill O’Reilly.

Mark Tapscott, writing in the Washington Examiner, the free newspaper that litters the subway that has usurped the Washington Times as the premier wingnut newspaper.
These milestones remind that what we’ve seen “nuthin’ of so far during the Obama administration is the aggressive accountability journalism relentlessly aimed at the Bush administration during the eight years prior [...]

Apparently the Israeli government is confused that we’re now going to be a broker between them and the Palestinians and not just in the mode of doing what Israel wants. Shocker.
According to many observers in Washington and Israel, the Israeli prime minister, looking for loopholes and hidden agreements that have often existed in the past [...]
How The Right Wing Stovepipe Operates

1. Conservative blogs just make something up. It doesn’t have to be an actual thing, just a loose collection of words.
2. Other conservative blogs link to the original blog, egging it on by saying things like “someone ought to look into this” or “Hmmm” or “Odd”.
3. Conservative leaning newspapers and magazines then collect the brain [...]

Lanny Davis Dumb Again

Remember Lanny Davis? He was the “Democrat” you could regularly count on during the Democratic primaries to say something amazingly stupid in defense of then-Senator Clinton. Well, Lanny’s back again, fretting over conservative nonsense on Judge Sotomayor’s controversy-free statement about bringing her background to the table in helping to make her decisions.
“She misspoke,” said Lanny [...]

Nut.
The AP’s Christina Hoag reports that Brenda Lee, a reporter for the Georgia Informer, was dragged kicking and screaming from the press area near Air Force One at Los Angeles International airport (LAX) Thursday morning.
“Airport security officers carried the woman away by the feet and arms as she protested her removal,” Hoag writes.

This is a pretty simple data point but conservative blogs have yet again weaved that fact into a vast and wide conspiracy theory and then feign outrage when people laugh at them.
UPCOMING CONSPIRACY THEORY: Juge Sotomayor is an enemy agent of Mexico! Many of you might remember that they accused current L.A. mayor Antonio Villaraigosa [...]

This is a pretty succinct description of the nuttery that passes for normal on the right nowadays.
The thing that is really driving conservatives crazy, I think, is that their identity politics just isn’t working like it used to. Their whole approach has been based on the belief that Americans vote as if they live in [...]
CIA Turf War?

Great, we all know nothing bad happens when the CIA has a turf war?
The jockeying between CIA Director Leon Panetta and National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair centers on Blair’s effort to choose his own representatives at U.S. embassies instead of relying only on CIA station chiefs. Current and former U.S. officials described the dispute on [...]

Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee endorse Marc Rubio in Florida over Charlie Crist. The thing is, of course, that Crist is a popular governor and has made the cardinal sin of supporting President Obama’s stimulus plan – even though Crist endorsed McCain.
Whig Watch: Conservatives Claim Sotomayor’s Diet Could Influence the Court
May 27th, 2009

Are you kidding me? Conservatives are actually citing the judge’s favorite foods as a disqualifier for the supreme court?
ALSO: They think her name is too ethnic as well.
The southern regional minority party is having a very hard time adjusting to the real America.
Making Fun Of Liberals

I’m not sure if it will be funny but this Goode Family show would seem to give a clue to how to make fun of liberals they could learn on Fox News. Key element? Funny first.

When history looks back at our current times, I get the feeling that we may no longer consider the signing of the Civil Rights Act as the end marker for racial progress in America but rather as the midpoint in the movement. Yesterday the first black president announced a nominee to be the first Hispanic [...]
From A Purely Political POV

I look forward to the ads in 2010 and 2012 that explain how “Presidente Obama y los Democrats” were con Justice Sotomayor and how the Republicans were contra Justice Sotomayor.
This is simply because right out of the starting gate Republicans and conservatives can’t contain their outrage that a hispanic woman could possibly be considered just [...]

So clearly not enough people understand the communism of President Obama.
Consumer confidence extended its rebound in May, soaring to the highest level since last September as more shoppers are feeling the worst of the recession is behind them.
The Conference Board said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index, which had dramatically increased in April, zoomed past [...]
