June 15th, 2009 · Comments

Matt Kennard of Salon has written an explosive exposé of the recent ambivalence armed forces recruiters are showing towards potential soldiers that may be involved in white supremacy and the Neo-Nazi movement.
One of the biggest complaints by those on the right about the DHS Report on Rightwing Extremism was the insinuation that a soldiers returning [...]

The Right-Wing Industrial Complex: No Nutty, No Money.

June 12th, 2009 · Comments

UPDATE: Frank Rich asks if someone on the Right will step forward to repudiate the far-rights incendiary rhetoric. I would argue that they do so very much at their own peril, as any criticism of the nutjob wing would be career suicide. First of all, it would take a harsh rebuke for it [...]

Sanctimonious Liar Sarah Palin Should Apologize to David Letterman

June 11th, 2009 · Comments

David Letterman’s jokes about Sarah and Bristol Palin aren’t far different from what a lot of comedians have been doing.  When you parade your pregnant daughter and former fiancee around and then send her out on an abstinence tour, she is fair game. What is different is the misleading, slanderous reaction by Palin, her husband, [...]

Final Thoughts on the Palin-Biden Debate

October 3rd, 2008 · Comments

Sarah Palin managed to avoid speaking in tongues and calling for witch trials in tonight’s debate, and yet I was still wrong in my post from two days previous: I thought she would win the debate, spew rehearsed lines, look good doing it, and Biden would proffer a gaffe or two to make it [...]

Nearly every time I turn it to Fox News in the evening, either Hannity or Bill O’Reilly are finding some way of turning Barack Obama into [...]
