CNN Poll: Majority Don’t Think President Deserves Second Term
Who’s surprised at this news? Probably all of the people who keep telling us that they’d be satisfied to wait through the end of a second term for pro-LGBT legislation (or just insert your long-ignored progressive cause here) to be passed and signed by President Obama. Do you think Barack…
The Pray In Jesus Name Project: ‘defending our troops against open homosexual aggression’
Look at this batsh*t crazy Human Events ad on the pending repeal of DADT. Well, clearly this is the kind of crap that the Obama administration and Congress fear — and what is causing them to call for more study and to say it will be "several years" before implementing the…
Kerry Eleveld on the ‘Coakley effect’ and David Mixner on Obama’s damaging silence
You know, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, but I also think that same-sex partners should be able to visit each other in hospitals, they should be able to transfer property, they should be able to get the same federal rights and benefits that are…
Hey Ladies!
Bonnie Erbe is convinced that Barack Obama hates women. This is mainly because despite all the women he’s hired, he’s actually Jesse Helms: President Obama could invite Chamique Holdsclaw to the private White House basketball court and Billie Jean King to play tennis with him. I still wouldn’t believe he’s…
Such a mystery!
Jamelle at Post-Bougie reports on a new Rasmussen poll that shows that only 14% of African-Americans polled agreed that America is a fair and decent place, compared to 55% back in February. That is a precipitous drop, but those of us observing American politics since Obama’s inauguration aren’t really in…
The Point, You Have Missed It
The Washington Post writes a story today about the terrible incivility of today’s viral world (read: bloggers). And the opening anecdote shows the fundamental problem with the way they’re looking at this: Late last month, Charisse Carney-Nunes fired up the computer at her home in Northeast Washington to check her…
The hamster wheel of trying to prove something
Okay, this made me laugh. Conservatives Are Weird Not that I really care, but the whole Olympics thing was just bizarre. The link goes to Media Matters, which chronicled the strange celebration conservatives threw because Obama wasn’t able to get the Olympics to Chicago. Conservative media figures have celebrated the…
Michael Steele’s RNC tied to web site that promoted military coup against the President
Now how are the Republicans going to say that it's just a few nuts out there trolling against the POTUS? Michael "MC" Steele shoots out press releases all day long (trust me, they land in my inbox then most I laugh at and then hit the delete button), but somehow…
Teabagger calls the President an ‘Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug” on AC360
Good god — the bile just flows continuously out of these beasts on the right; people like Mark Williams let their bigoted *sses hang out on international TV without a care in the world — but claims he and the teabagger movement aren’t racist. Say it, class — “You Lie!”…
Kristol Was Checking His Blackberry In Spirit
So, on the eve of what’s predicted to be a potential epidemic of swine flu, increasing unemployment, rising numbers of uninsured, underinsured and medical bankruptcies, Bill Kristol has pissy-pants over the fact that Obama didn’t call Congress together to go to war. So President Obama invited himself into our living…
