Joe Biden caused quite a stir when he equated paying higher taxes with patriotism. Biden told ABC’s Kate Snow:
“We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people.” Snow asked: “Anybody making over $250,000…” Biden responded: “Is gonna pay more.” Snow: “Is going to pay more.” Biden: “You got it. [...]

Who is playing the race card now? None other than Howard Dean. He plays the race card in an National Public Radio (NPR) interview on Friday. And then quickly reversed himself with an “ahem, I didn’t mean to say that”! He had essentially called the Republican Party “a white elephant” .
Dean had this to [...]

Yesterday, TPM’s Josh Marshall or the “person who kidnapped Josh” (phrase from Lambert at Corrente) complains:

One is immediately stumped when searching for words that aptly describe the bilge sinking the increasingly cumbersome and tedious vessels that comprise the patently venal fleet of Obamablogs. According to one writer who has a predilection for reinscribing misogynistic tropes in almost every essay he pens, Hillary Clinton is “[t]oxic,” for she has the [...]

I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished. He had said everything I believed, far better than I ever could…that speech steeled my determination to do whatever could for the rest of my life to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream come true. — From My [...]

The essay below was written by Mary Jo Kopechne, PhD, and Bud White.

[The VIDEO UPDATE from Brother Barack is below the fold ... and in that video he's usin' some line about Hillary actin' like Annie Oakley. Damndest coincidence, that is. Isn't it. That Barack would use the "Annie Oakley" line, and here we see a photo of Annie Oakley herself smack on the front [...]

“Progressive” blogger Joshua Micah Marshall at Talking Points Memo continues his obsession with the “Hillary Clinton-Bosnia-Sniper” story. On Thursday, as of 21:00 ET, Marshall totally ignores the major economic policy speech by Sen. Obama for more pressing matters: YouTube mashups!
The Clinton-Bosnia-Sniper story seems to be peaking. And there have been a lot of snippets of [...]
