“Low, Low, Low, Low, Low,Low, Low, Low…” »

Since Obama likes Rap so much, I figured a title taken from Flo Rida’s “Low” song would be the perfect title for Obama’s current poll ratings. Let’s put it this way: they could be better. In fact, they could be a LOT better. You know, this is when the politician claims that [...]

GLBT People Finally Getting A Clue »

Well, Obama is pandering to the GLBT community again. He gave a speech to the Human RIghts Campaign Friday, October 9th. Personally, I think he was trying to ward off the big-ass march planned against him in DC byt the GLBT community. It didn’t work, I might add. Seems some folks [...]

“Tens of Thousands” »

Yes, more numbers to report to you you today. “Tens of Thousands” is the phrase the Washington Post and The New York Times used to describe the numbers of people marching on Washington yesterday, voicing their concerns over the rampant spending by Congress. “Tens of thousands” has apparently become a euphemism for 1.2 [...]

Kelly’s Court On Suing Slanderers - **Open Thread** »

The other day, I had a post on Sarah Palin’s attorney threatening bloggers and other media outlets for slandering Sarah Palin (”Finally Comeuppance For Faux Journalists?“). I am not an attorney (though I did work as a prisoner’s rights paralegal at one time), but these three are, and they discuss this very issue:

Don’t you wish we were as superior and elite as TalkLeft’s Jeralyn Merritt? »

Jeralyn. If only I could be like you. But clearly I’m just a crumb-bum, sorta like that trailer trash from Arkansas. Ewwwww. (See David Fiderer’s fine essay here, “Maureen Dowd, and The Women of Washington Who Project on to Hillary” as well as my essay, reprinted below the fold, about how [...]

The Buck Stops Where, Barack? »

In a recurring series of nightmares which sometimes seem to take place in the day when I am awake, I keep thinking about money. Understandable, I guess. Like most Americans, my savings have tanked. I am worried for myself, my family and friends. I am worried for most of the country, actually. [...]

About the Financial Institution Mentioned in the Sun-Times: Obama, Tony Rezko, Amrish Mahajan, the Kenwood Mansion & Rita Rezko »

**********Truthteller asks bloggers and reporters to direct their attention to Amrish Mahajan and the Mutual Bank of Harvey.**********
Mike Robinson’s AP article entitled “Obama Fundraiser, Convicted of Fraud, Spills Beans,” corroborates what we at No Quarter have been writing for weeks: Antoin “Tony” Rezko is cooperating with federal prosecutors interested in Barack Obama. While the [...]

Anglachel: No Comment »

January 19, 2008:
The Obama campaign has had a deliberate strategy of calling the Clinton campaign racist and the media has allowed itself to be led along. Obama himself confessed to this strategy in the Nevada debate when shown a copy of a campaign memo directing campaign workers to use race-bating to defame Hillary Clinton.
January 27, [...]

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 anger, [...]

“Obama Implodes in Georgia” »

One of the arguments many Obama supporters made against Hillary was that she did not support Howard Dean’s 50-state strategy. Obama embraced the 50-state strategy to garner the support of the netroots and other activists. In a mydd diary posted this January, Obama, with his usual humility, was quoted as saying:
I think that we’re shifting [...]

The Implosion of TalkLeft »

Asset, Pronunciation (US): /ˈæsɛt/ (noun) 1. any item of economic value owned by an individual or corporation 2. a useful or valuable quality 3. advantage or resource

How bad are things at TalkLeft, Jeralyn Merritt’s once erudite and inclusive blog? In a word, bad. I have to wonder if Jeralyn knows what an asset she [...]

Here We Go Again »

Round Two of the Sexism/Misogyny Palooza, courtesy of the Media and Blogosphere. Great. Just great. Like many of us are not still reeling from the HORRIBLE treatment of Senator Clinton. Yep. Just yesterday, Daily Kos and “journalists” went after Palin primarily because she is a woman, plain and simple. Check out this video(H/T to Roseeriter [...]

When Human Decency Disappears, What’s Left? »

Posted by: Mary Ellen/Divine Democrat at Bad Habit
What happens when human decency ceases to exist in our country? I’m sure you’re wondering if I’m going to go off into some kind of religious tangent, but I’m not. This has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with being…human.
This [...]

“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 [...]

A Statement of No Quarter’s Ethical Practices [Updated] »

UPDATE: This has nothing to do with trolls here. Those are easy to take care of, as long as you readers e-mail me (susanunpc @ gmail dot com) with the information along with a COMPLETE copy of their comment, which helps me search for the comment. I am talking about other blogs [...]

Why Obama Must Lose: One Progressive’s Opinion »

The Just Say No Deal/PUMA movement is evidence of a deep rift in the Democratic Party, one I believe the polls are not reflecting. Contrary to what the neo-liberals may say, the movement is not comprised of bitter old women — although many are bitter, many are women, and some are perhaps old. [...]

odingo ate my savior! odingo ate my savior! »

Odinga ate my saviour! appeared on our horizons with claims he is Obama’s cousin in a BBC news report in January of this year, two years after Obama visited his father’s homeland.

After the Standard in Kenya was burned, Obama decided to offer criticism of Kenya and the current president.

Preparation for tonight’s NO Quarter Radio show »

I’ll be hosting DCMediagirl’s Hour of Power tonight at 10:30 pm ET/7:30 pm PT. Advisory to follow. In the meantime, prepare by reading up on Bob Herbert’s bizzaro phallic obsession (take a look a few postings down) and this little doozy by Maureen Dowd, who outdoes herself yet again. As an English Literature [...]

Parade of the Trolls »

What I love best about No Quarter is the smart, lively debate about issues of critical concern, the colorful and flamboyant language that is often enough wildly clever and can be knee-slapping funny, and the fact that it does not shut out visitors simply for disagreeing with each other or the author of the post. [...]

Oh, My Aching Head… »

So, I was thinking this morning - How many policy changes has Obama made since he proclaimed himself Master of the Universe on June 3, 2008? Some are better known than others, because even some of the big ones had to be covered by the MSM. But let’s see what we can find:
June 4, 2008: [...]
