Class Warfare Fox News Style

July 18th, 2011 · No Comments · america, Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Republicans

I don’t know if Fox has ever reported on anything accurately. Their journalism reflects their propensity to give their viewers what they crave rather than report the news. That’s not a news organization, that’s a reality show.

The Art Of Softball Confrontation

June 29th, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Democracy, News, Republicans

Chris Wallace had the right theme in questioning Michele Bachmann on Fox News Sunday. While the wisdom of his line of questioning was sound, his approach leaned heavily to the land of soft toss–not unexpected by a Fox host toward a conservative guest. The flake comment gets a lot of the attention because of its [...]

The GOP Debate Begins To Flesh Out The Winners From The Losers

June 14th, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Elections, News, Politics, Republicans

Two observations about the first GOP Presidential Debate: Mitt Romney clearly separated himself from the pack of milquetoast contenders vying for the crown. Romney showed deftness, quiet strength, and a mature yet effective argumentative style. The most stark contrast came between he and Herman Cain, token flamethrower in the race. Cain while charming, cannot [...]

The Anthony Weiner Problem

June 7th, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Democracy, News, Politics

Aside from his bumbling and puerile handling of this situation, Anthony Weiner should not only not resign– he should remain as forceful and adamant about the causes he fights for as ever–provided there are no ethical impropriaties from his activities of course. Will he be kept at arms length by fellow democrats? Sure. The taint [...]

The Conservative Brand On Display

June 6th, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Republicans

Conservatives continue to push narratives outside the mainstream–and in the case of Carmen San Diego Palin–out and out make shit up without regard to fallout, and seemingly without consequence. Mitt Romney continues to deny a record as governor he built, and programs he initiated quite proudly. How can anyone govern sensibly and with a bi-partisan [...]

Birtherism Just Won’t Die

May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Democracy, Political Fringe, Racism

Jerome Corsi’s new book, ‘Where is the birth certificate?’ | is #6 on the New York Times bestseller list. 17% of Americans still believe Obama was “definitely or probably” not born in the U.S., even after he produced his long-form birth certificate. No matter the evidence to the contrary, Americans will still chase dragons and [...]

Herman Cain And The Federal Reserve

May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Republicans

You’re going to see more of this as Cain becomes more well known in conservative circles–and to the American public. His record will be scrutinized vigorously, and his tenure at the Kansas City Federal Reserve could prove very toxic to the tea party– the group who exults Mr. Cain.I’m curious as to how he justifies [...]

Affirmative Action II: American Privilege

May 19th, 2011 · No Comments · america, Democracy, Politics, Racism

That’s the price of affirmative action. It taints black achievements, in the mind of many, with the question of “would this man have succeeded without race preferences” even in cases where the answer is undoubtedly “yes!” The only price of affirmative action is the misguided attempts at disproving its usefulness in American society. Whatever your [...]

The Campaign Will End Before It Begins

May 17th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Republicans

This is epic. Conservatives know Newt doesn’t stand a chance. The man cannot make a statement about anything, without having to either clarify it the next day, or completely reverse course . It’s part of his history. Not a good look for a leader is it? Is it any wonder why he crashed and burned [...]

Racism Fuels Newt Gingrich’s Campaign

May 16th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Racism

Newt Gingrich has always painted broadly outside the racial lines, and his deft ability to cocoon himself inside of a pseudo-intellectual balloon curries favor for him in conservative circles on issues of race. This quote deserves and demands more examination: Republican Newt Gingrich told a Georgia audience on Friday evening that the 2012 presidential election [...]
