Underneath the talking points lay hate
Monday, April 26th, 2010Reposted from sister blog BuryingTheLead.com
There is something to be said about the Republican party starting with the 2008 election, and that is their connection to violent speech. Everyone remembers Palin’s comments during the 2008 election cycle where she claimed Barack Obama “palled around with terrorists“, and the fact that she didn’t [...]
Why people think Democrats are wimps
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Yeah, that’s a pretty infuriating headline, but I have a point. Come with me on this.
In the late 1980s/early 1990s, it came out that the Reagan/Bush White House was involved in the Iran-Contra affair, to the highest levels. When Bill Clinton took the White House in 1992, what was the decision on Iran-Contra? Clinton said [...]
The GLBT community starts to respond to Obama on DOMA
Monday, June 15th, 2009First of all, I know that I don’t speak for the entire GLBT community. And neither do the guys over at Towleroad.com or AmericaBlog.com. But there is a movement afoot, and I hope that it continues to grow. The Obama DOJ, and Obama himself, need to be held responsible for the hateful DOMA defense brief [...]
Best quote of the week
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008I love this, in the shadow of the $700,000,000,000 bailout (yes, seven hundred billion):
We’ve just been raped, and now we’re being asked to pay for the rape kit.

The seven scariest words of the race so far
Thursday, September 4th, 2008I almost lost my lunch when I saw this headline pop up: Bush Aides Schooling Palin In Foreign Policy.
What the hell, people?!?!? A president with the biggest blunders of any in the history of this nation. A president who lied us into war. And he’s teaching Sarah Palin how to do it?
If that doesn’t get [...]
Complacent? Think about this…
Sunday, August 24th, 2008I have to admit, seven years after the events of September 11th, 2001, you get a little complacent. We had the horror of that day, and then the wars in Afghanistan and then Bush’s war of choice in Iraq. We have had to deal with war for the last seven years, but without personal sacrifice [...]
McCain’s Saddleback performance justifies the impeachment of George W. Bush
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008I’m listening to clips of John McCain from my Randi Rhodes podcast and was taken aback. In his performance at Saddleback, John McCain said, in response to a question about Osama bin Laden:
No one, no one should be allowed to take thousands of American, innocent American lives
Really now, Senator McCain? Then if that is the [...]
Telecom Immunity vote AGAIN
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Okay , so we have defeated this in the past, but we have to lean on Congress one more time. There is another bill that is going to give the telecommunications companies THAT HAVE SPIED ON YOU AND ME immunity from prosecution.
I almost threw up when I read this quote:
“The bill meets the standards the [...]
