Watch one progressive bus run over Rachel Maddow and the LGBT community
I don’t know how many of my readers surf around the general progressive blogosphere regularly, but you can get a taste of the blowback the LGBT community is receiving for deigning to ask why the Obama administration has been silent regarding his self-proclaimed “fierce advocate” role. Check out this diary…
Not That I’m Saying Obama Is The Muslim Hitler
But, well, he is. This is not to say, necessarily, that Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim any more than Mr. Clinton actually is black. After his five months in office, and most especially after his just-concluded visit to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, however, a stunning conclusion seems increasingly plausible:…
We were told that common ground was *not* compromise
Is it possible that we were lied to? President Obama has appointed Alexia Kelley, executive director of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG), to head the Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the Department of Health and Human Services. Kelley is a leading proponent of “common ground”…
Maybe I’m being overly credulous, but…
…this makes sense. I’ll have to think about it more before I decide whether – assuming the story is true – the reasoning here is good enough to justify Obama’s eventual decision, but on first glance I’d say that when the prime minister of Iraq warns that “Baghdad will burn”,…
Your Roots Are Showing
I think you could write an article that serves as better wingnut bait than Jake Tapper’s “The Emergence of President Obama’s Muslim Roots“, but I’m pretty sure that the article would have to involve a bunch of white toddlers being pushed off of a cliff in a repossessed Pontiac Aztek…
This appears like it’s going to be much worse than even the worst cynic would have predicted
Having had weeks to prepare for Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court hasn’t helped Republican hysterics take the time they need to think very carefully about launching attacks (god forbid they should accept that Obama has a right to nominate justices, of course—no matter who it is, they’re going…
I Look Forward To Months Of This
CNN is currently airing a segment on conservatives’ response to Obama’s rumored Supreme Court nominees. This matches their dozens of other segments on how conservatives are going to respond to Obama’s nominees. It will also match the future months of similar stories on Obama’s nominees. It will also provide a…
Maybe I’m completely wrong on this, and I’d love to hear how I am
Watching all this coverage of Obama’s speech and Cheney’s rebuttal—as well as endless tweeting and amusing digressions about whether or not “terrorists” are more powerful than superheros—I find myself feeling unusually cold about a political drama. The only thing that’s gotten really up my ass is the way the word…
Why President Obama hurts his own cause of addressing homophobia in the black community
(I really hope this doesn’t become an orphan thread…please get out of your comfort zones and comment.) Over the last few days we have seen the White House struggle to answer questions about the failed discriminatory policy known as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, as well as respond intelligently to the…
Driven By An Unknown Force To Change History For The Better
There may have been more articles written about people not telling jokes about Obama than there have been actual jokes about Obama. What’s inexplicable about this continual and terrible line of stories is that not a single one of the comedians complaining that nobody tells jokes about Obama seems to…
