Rush LimBLARGLE FARGLE
Rush Limbaugh neatly and concisely lays out the conservative position on racism today: liberals are terrible. The Politico and the mainstream media has launched an unconscionable, racially stereotypical attack on an independent, self-reliant conservative black because for him that behavior is not allowed. Now, if we had… I want to…
A primer on how not to respond to accusations of racism
The Nation scribe and MSNBC contributor Melissa Harris-Perry set off a firestorm of criticism with her recent column in which she argued that structural racism, in which white liberals unconsciously hold a black politician to a higher standard, might doom President Obama to a single term. The responses from white…

The true incivility
Yesterday for RH Reality Check, I wrote a piece about how civility is really impossible in political discourse for those who political opinions are uncivil.

Inexcusable waffling continues
I cannot sign off on this piece enough: Liberals have a tendency (much more pronounced in 2007 and 2008 but still evident) to imagine that Barack Obama is just as liberal as them. Because he's obviously smart, because he dabbled with genuine leftism in his youth, and because he opposed…
Turns out that the liberals were right all along
In a jumble, What I went through last night—which I imagine was a typical experience of watching at home and following online—many of which were expressed in a flood of tweets: Relief, elation, concern about the future, urge to make dark jokes, rush of memories of 9/11, glee, concern about…
The Worst Thing You Can Say To A Person In America
And by "person", I obviously mean "white guy": From the outset, I have been very critical of Trump on the birther questions and have repeatedly called him a buffoon. Yet calling Trump a racial provocateur is a sure sign of intellectual laziness and descends the depths of disingenuousness. Trump has been a…
Why Obama did the right thing
Monitoring right wing rhetoric and skeptical debunking of conspiracy theories and woo are two of my major areas of interest, so hopefully you'll forgive me for being a little giddy when Barack Obama decided to take the birthers head on this morning by releasing the long form birth certificate they've…
