Sean Hannity And Fox News Don’t See Why They Can’t Doctor Video Footage… After All, They’re A Real News Organization

November 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Comedy, Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Politics, Republicans

Here we go again. Conservatives, America’s “real patriots,” have managed to make another mess with their Tea Party protest. Thank you Fox News.  After I wrote about the 9/12 protest in September– how certain conservative bloggers wet themselves in reporting inflated attendance numbers (Michelle Malkin)– then used a fake picture to depict the [...]

What George Hutchins, And The Most Horrible Website Ever Created, Tell Me About Neo-Conservatism

November 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Democracy, Elections, News, Political Fringe, Politics, Racism, Republicans, america

Anyone familiar with George Hutchins?  I wasn’t either.  Not until I came across his new website.  Now, I’m wishing I could pluck out my eyes.  Mr. Hutchins is running for congress in 2010, in the fourth district in North Carolina.  His opponent, Congressman David Price (D), represents North Carolina’s “triangle”– a prosperous, well-educated section of [...]

Is A Right-Wing Militia Planning On Killing President Obama?

October 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Racism, Republicans, america

In a YouTube video (which was surreptitiously removed late Wednesday night), a group of self-proclaimed “Patriots,” threaten the President of the United States and other officials. In the video this unidentified group is heard giving the president until next week to “leave now and give us our country back.” From Rob Waters of [...]

War Of The Blowhards: Glen Beck Being Attacked By The Right… And The Right?

September 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Politics, Republicans

Well, I knew it was only a matter of time before conservatives woke up, and decided that the type of far-out conspiratorial lunacy fake millionaire populist Glen Beck espouses, was starting to give the party a bad case of hives.  Beck, who never misses an opportunity to be a propagandist shill for himself, recently stated [...]

Fox News enables him.  Again.  What is the “University of I don’t remember?”

A video tribute, courtesy of REAL AMERICAN patriots

September 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Politics, Racism, Republicans

How about a video montage of some good, old-fashioned American protest?

I don’t begrudge the teabaggers their right to dissent, but their methods of protest leave a lot to be desired.  Whose idea was it to create the “Hitler had great speeches too” sign, or the “there is an African lion in the zoo, and a [...]

Fun with numbers: Apparently the Tea Party's go up again

September 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Democracy, Health Care, News, Political Fringe, Politics, Republicans

From Media Matters:
Yesterday on his radio program, while discussing the crowds at this weekend’s 9/12 protests, Glenn Beck claimed that the LondonTelegraph “quote[d] a source from the Park Service, the National Park Service, saying that it is the largest march on Washington ever.”  This led to a good deal of confusion here, as the Telegraph article contains no such [...]

Conservatives lie about 9-12 protest numbers in pictures. Where is Joe Wilson when we need him?

September 15th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Democracy, News, Politics, Republicans

Impressive turnout no?  No.
According to PolitiFact.com, conservative bloggers are using a phony photo to describe and inflate the number of people attending the 9-12 Tea Party rally in Washington D.C. Saturday.  It’s not new to inflate protest numbers for any demonstration in the nation’s capital.  It’s nothing new to deflate numbers for such events either.  [...]
