Video Of Obama’s School Speech
Fear the socialism! The transcript was released earlier. Here’s the video: I think the uproar over the speech actually insures that more people watch it than would have otherwise. I hope this helps to bring down the temperature of our political debate a little bit.
Let’s Just Say What This Is
All the hysteria about Tuesday’s speech isn’t about the content of the speech, or one line from the suggested lesson plan, or the loss of class time. It’s about Obama. The time line is quite telling. News hits that Obama will address school children and the freak-out begins with talk of Obama indoctrinating school children […]
Origins Of The Latest Rightwing Freakout
I find the crazification of the Republican Party both depressing and sad. The latest rightwing freakout about President Obama speaking to schools started with Jim Greer, the chair of the Florida Republican Party: Apparently in the midst of some kind of breakdown, Florida’s Jim Greer is throwing a tantrum over this. The chairman of the […]
Deep Thought Of The Day
Keith Olbermann is just as crazy as Glenn Beck because thinking that Bush was a terrible president is just as nuts as thinking that Rockefeller Center is sending secret messages that only you can interpret.
Obama Will Speak To Students On September 8th (Psst… I added a Visual)
At 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time (ET), September 8, 2009, President Barack Obama will deliver a national address to the students of America. (Please note that this is a change from the originally scheduled time.) During this special address, the president will speak directly to the nation’s children and youth about persisting and succeeding in school. […]
Late Night Video: OLIGARH
What’s scarier – Glenn Beck’s brain or the fact that people watch Glenn Beck and think he’s some kind of truth-teller?
When You’re Fishing In A Shallow Pool…
…Survey questions like this make sense. “It has been suggested that the government could use voter registration to determine a person’s political affiliation, prompting fears that GOP voters might be discriminated against for medical treatment in a Democrat-imposed health care rationing system. Does this possibility concern you?” This inanity comes from the latest GOP fundraising […]
Gentlemen, Cross Your Legs
“If we need to save our penises from anybody, it’s Obama.” —Rush Limbaugh Birthers and Deathers, make room for the Penis Protectors. Can’t make this stuff up. Although… this new erected outrage should provide endless entertainment. (h/t Bob Cesca)
Late Night Video: The Birthers Make A Movie
Dave Weigel at The Washington Independent discovered that World Nut Daily has made a birther movie. For the low, low price of $17.99 you can own a copy of “A Question of Eligibility.” On Aug. 4, President Obama’s birthday, WorldNetDaily released and began shipping “A Question of Eligibility.” It’s an hour-long documentary produced by an […]
Early Morning Oddity
You decide – brilliant back-up plan or just plain insane? They start their meetings with a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, the nation’s unofficial loyalty oath. And so it was last week when Republican Party leaders met at a Springfield hotel prior to attending Republican Day at the Illinois State Fair. Republican county chairmen […]
Next They’ll Be Threatening To Hold Their Breath
Watching Republicans is like watching a bratty kid’s temper tantrum. Here’s another fun detail from last night’s Americans For Prosperity teletown hall, which featured Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN). Both politicians said that if a health care bill passes, it should be actively fought and resisted through a collective effort of […]

This video debuted at the Daily Kos party at Netroots Nation. Andy Cobb and Sam Seder put together dramatic readings of actual hate mail received by Daily Kos. Extremely hilarious! Warning: NSFW! (Not Safe For Work)
