What you should remember about present and future Obama scandals

Here is the thing that you have to remember about the present attempts to tarnish Obama with the Emmanuel-Blagojevich scandal: Bill Ayers. If the Republicans would use an tangential, inconsequential relationship to make out that Obama is a Marxist America-hating terrorist then they will stop at pretty much nothing. If Obama so much as trips [...]

That really is how Conservatives are…

Look, lefties, it’s not a figment of your imagination. I was a (social) Conservative at one point in my life, maybe to an extent still am, the point is that yes, they are bigots. Bigoted on every level that a mostly white, apparently heterosexual, fundamentalist people can be bigoted on. They hate and they do [...]

What makes politicians likable?

An old balding man running for leadership of a First World country would normally have no chance, unless he is running against a black guy. Another whose ideas require a certain amount of common sense, and which would be drastically different from what is currently espoused has no shot.
Normally you have to look at [...]

Conservative style spin and excuses

If Rush Limbaugh were found with kiddie porn and/or dismembered tranny hookers in his trunk
Excuses:
Liberals framed him! Obama framed him!
He was collecting evidence to hunt down and capture pedophiles in his free time.
He had a moment of weakness but God has forgiven him so we should too.

Argentine fossil sentenced to life

Life for Argentine ex-army chief
An Argentine ex-army officer has been sentenced to life in prison for the 1977 kidnapping, torture and killing of four left-wing activists.
So 31 years later, just before he is scheduled to die of natural causes anyway, “justice” is served. You might as well just wait him out and then shit on [...]

Conservative truth

Hey, Barack Obama Exists After All
“If we don’t create a false story, and fast, our half-African son of an 18-year old mother will have no chance at becoming president!”|
If you don’t have hard facts, create a conspiracy theory that way you can smear with insinuations instead of truth. The fact is that your average red-stater [...]

Obama Slave T-shirt

“But It’s Not About Race”
In the wake of the flap that followed the New Yorker’s intended satirical cover art last week, a shock anti-Obama t-shirt has made news.
I love how Conservatives get all indignant when accused of being racist, then you see something like this and it puts their politics in perspective. Everything the [...]

Elizabeth Dole tries to name AIDS bill after Jesse Helms

Elizabeth Dole Tries To Name AIDS Bill After Jesse Helms
Republican Senator Dole introduced an amendment to name an HIV/AIDS relief bill after the recently deceased Jesse Helms. Helms, of course, was a strident foe of HIV/AIDS prevention, research and treatment.Suddenly, I find myself liking this woman. Of course it may be that she went into [...]
