A post over at the Seminal is taking “liberal elitism” to task for not taking the Tea Party people seriously, and that that will lead to the election of Sarah Palin and other such ilk.
To quote our vice president, malarkey.
While I have long argued that there is too much elitism on the left for my [...]

Liberal Bloggers Actually Doing Stuff
November 10th, 2009
22 Comments
It always sort of amuses me when we hear the familiar refrain from the right that the liberal blogosphere doesn’t have any accomplishments under its belt, except maybe the ouster of Joe Lieberman from the Democratic Party. But of course, this is rooted in unreality.
Liberal bloggers were key in helping along public perception of [...]

Air America Asking For Donations? Failure.

One of the problems – and they are multifold – with Air America is that so much of it has always been set up as a more partisan version of NPR. If people want an NPR experience, they’re going to turn on NPR. NPR will do a better job.
Now apparently Air America plans to ask [...]
Worth Pointing Out

You might remember that before inauguration I had a hell of a time bitching at people on the left who were ready to whine and moan about Obama’s position and initiatives on certain issues before he was even sworn in. Three months in, I think that was the right call. It seems to often that [...]

Patrick Ruffini writes another one of those “the left is screwing everything up, the right can capitalize on this with our silly nonsensical slogans and policy proposals” blog entries and winds up:
The right will be galvanized to action by the theft of the free enterprise system. What will the left be galvanized by?
Me: A competent [...]

It’s totally impossible for the U.S. government to run a large organization without it being a colossal failure. Big programs under government control always fail.

Sean Hannity’s Homage To “Big Government” Liberalism

This is the logo to Fox News Channel’s “Hannity”:
The logo is instantly recognizable because it mimics the logo of the Interstate Highway system.
As most students of American history know, the Interstate Highway system was a product of Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower. Ike was the kind of Republican that doesn’t exist anymore – interested in [...]

Oh noes teh librul media!
The Observer has learned that MSNBC president Phil Griffin is in discussions with syndicated talk radio host Ed Schultz about possibly joining the network on a full-time basis. It is unclear what exactly the job would entail should Mr. Schultz and MSNBC come to an agreement.

I’m really glad we liberals hitched our wagon to these bloggy things over putting all our eggs in the talk radio basket.

Michael Moore must have had a fun time writing this piece about how Republican demonization of him led to even more success. It helps that Moore isn’t making jokes about Senators dying.

Do yourself a favor and check out the coverage of the last day of CPAC from Think Progress and Media Matters. I’ve gone to several of the Take Back America (now called America’s Future Now) events (and was a panelist at one), the progressive version of the CPAC conference, and while I might roll my [...]

Nate Silver writes a post calling for cooler heads to prevail and for experts to be consulted. That seems like a pretty rational thing. But David Sirota is so tied into his image of the fire-breathing outsider speaking truth to the elites in Washington, he writes a silly post making the claim that Silver has [...]
The Congressional Black Caucus Continues To Demonstrate How Useless It Is

When the Congressional Black Caucus isn’t working the corner for big business, protecting crooks like William Jefferson, or working against reformers like Donna Edwards, they’re bitching that Barack Obama doesn’t have enough blacks in his cabinet.
Seriously.
Obama has nominated four blacks for cabinet positions, including Eric Holder – likely to be the first black attorney general [...]

“OMG Harry Reid and the Senate Dems didn’t listen to us on Lieberman. It’s OVER!!!!” I certainly don’t have the view that conservative Patrick Ruffini does of this issue as any sort of serious infighting, but I am bored with it already. The senate is dumb, you knew they were going to let Lieberman back [...]
