Birthers! Truthers! Mama Grizzlies! Tea Partiers! »

* Bumped Up * (Or the more offensive, homophobic term for Tea Partiers.) Crosshairs! Targets! The list could go on of the labels attached to groups of people or concepts by the media when they want to discount, demean, belittle, discourage discussion, demonize a group, or frame the issue how they want it to be, [...]

How Palin Is Responsible For Rep. Giffords Being Shot »

Or, as I like to call it, “Palin Derangement Syndrome On Steroids.” No doubt, you have already heard or read that many in the media made the leap that Gov. Sarah Palin is responsible for this assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, one of the truly good politicians. Yes, because Gov. Palin had a map [...]

“What If Bush Had Done That?” »

That is a question I have asked myself time and time again since Obama took office on a number of issues, including expanding the Faith Based Initiatives, or my fave, the incredibly unConstitutional “Prolonged Detention” of American Citizens, holding them in custody indefinitely without charges. Turns out I am not the only one who wonders [...]

I Wonder If Their Heads… »

Really do explode like pumpkins? I’m just asking because of the whole Obama picking Tim Kaine to be the new chair of the DNC thing. See, not only is Kaine anti-choice, but he is also anti-gay. Obama sure does like these homophobes, doesn’t he? He constantly surrounds himself with them, Kaine being the latest. Anywho [...]

Rahm Emanuel Hall of Shame * Open Thread »

Thanks to New Hampster, we have this little tidbit of info, and I hear that the Daily Kossacks are having a HISSY FIT about Emanuel getting this job — those dopes — we tried to tell you KoolAid dipsomaniacs and thugs! At best, Barack Obama is an ordinary politician. At worst, he is so wholly [...]

[Update * Donation Match Drive!] You Have the Power: Pennsylvania is Close, Support The Denver Group Now »

Update from SusanUnPC: “Anonymous H,” one of our readers, has offered to “match up to $500 if NQ posters can provide receipt of a donation to the Denver Group.” Bud White, who collaborates regularly with Medusa, would be the best person to send your receipt to, as well as me. So please send validation to [...]

Radicals Use Obama to Push anti-American Agendas »

Barack Obama is a creation of like-minded professional and amateur political operatives. Whether it’s the corrupt Chicago Machine or the so-called progressives with their socialist agenda or the ruthless and power-grubbing leaders of the Democratic Party, Obama has arrived at the top of the ticket and tied in the polls as a politically “made man.” [...]

The Three Stages of Panic »

During the primaries and up until the convention, many Obama supporters pushed the narrative that Hillary supporters had to go through the classic stages of grief before we accepted Obama. On Correntewire, Lambert writes that Josh Marshall and others: started running the “stages of grief” trope on Hillary supporters way back in February—you know, from [...]

Hillary Is Not My Mother »

Judging by both press and internet commentary this past week, we seem to want Hillary to literally assume the mantle of Joan of Arc once again … Some want her out front and center railing against sexism to defend Sarah Palin: ‘Hillary’s legacy is in jeopardy! She is not living her principles! After what she [...]

Playing Dirty — Is It Worth It? »

This is what I’m seeing from those who think we should fight dirty, anything goes, everyone, including children of family members are “fair game”. Below are the comments I’m seeing on a few of the blogs. Below are those who approve of playing dirty….. You go, girl. 1. Muckraking is necessary — always. 2. It’s [...]

“Progressives” for Ageism »

It goes without saying that most of the major bloggers — Markos, Josh Marshall, Digby, and many others — were so blinded in their desire to sink Hillary that they allowed (and even engaged in) unrelenting sexism and race-baiting. Their behavior during the campaign was so far from being progressive that I’ve concluded that they’re [...]

Quit Making Excuses For This Guy! »

(SADDLEBACK DEBATE-JOHN McCAIN VS BARACK OBAMA) Obama did it again, he blew another debate. Now, this should have been a simple debate, the question, in my opinion were pretty straightforward and didn’t deal with difficult subjects like the economy or taxes. And most of all, he was debating John McCain, the guy that every Democrat [...]

I’ve Been Banned At DailyKos Because Of John Edwards »

Catch me at 7 p.m. PT today on the radio show, Sunday Inquisition, talking about the Edwards scandal and the media. Visit my blog, Stranahan.com. (SusanUnPC’s note: Here is Lee’s listing at IMDb.) …………….. Cool picture from florian.b who also features this quote… “Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of [...]

Censorship a la Daily Kos »

Let me start off by saying that I have never been a fan of the DailyKos. Something about that site always made me uneasy and I have rarely frequented it. My intuition was confirmed this past January when the DailyKos started advocating that Democrats in the state of Michigan cross over into the Republican primary [...]

Who Doesn’t Get Satire NOW? »

The absolutely brilliant cover of this week’s New Yorker magazine has progressive Internet sites up in arms. (Check out Memeorandum.com‘s tracking of the flood of blog posts.) For example, at dailykos.com over 1,400 comments have been made in less than two hours about the topic, “OMG and WTF, have you seen this?” The cartoon shows [...]
