The RNC Pals Around With Conspiracy Theorists And Seditionists
According to the new rules that the Republicans made, any connection to discredited conspiracy theories means that one is not fit for government service. So, how does the RNC justify its connections to both World Net Daily, the main pushers of the birther conspiracies, and Newsmax, who publishes a weekly column by John L. Perry? […]
Whose Values?
Talking Points Memo looks at the schedule for the Value Voters Summit and finds these breakout sessions: “Speechless – Silencing The Christians” “Thugocracy – Fighting the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy” “Defunding Planned Parenthood” “Activism and Conservatism: Fit to a Tea (Party)” “The Threat of Illegal Immigration” “Obamacare: Rationing Your Life Away” “Marriage: Why It’s Worth […]
A Love Letter To Tyler Nixon
My Darling Tyler, I was so disappointed I couldn’t call in to the Rick Jensen Show yesterday. Needless to say, I rarely listen to Mr. Jensen, but just the thought of you hosting the show – with that melodious radio voice – sent my heart racing. But in between my sighs (and errands and kids […]
Newt Gingrich FAIL — Adults Only Late Night Edition
I laughed so had at this that I almost fell out of my chair:
Mike Castle Taking Credit for Yet Another ARRA Project
A reminder to everyone following at home — Mike Castle proudly voted against the Recovery Act.
And yet, here he is — front and center taking credit — for helping Wesley College get a new piece of equipment.
The C Street “Family” or, How To Understand Right Wing Hypocrisy
Jeff Sharlet wrote a book called The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, which expands on an article he wrote for Harpers called Jesus Plus Nothing. Sharlet actually had a chance to live with these guys for awhile and has an amazing (and chilling) story to tell about this group that is apparently Ground Zero for Christianists in power or who want to be in power.
Susan Collins Wants To Kill Your Grandmother
The newest silly GOP talking point about healthcare reform is about the provision requiring hospitals to provide end-of-life counseling to people who wanted it. This proposal has turned into a strange and silly Republican talking point about encouraging euthenasia. Guess who first proposed this? Even by conservative standards, the argument is insane. It’s extremely common, […]
The GOP plot to kill senior citizens
How do you know what the wingnuts are plotting? Easy – anything they accuse others of doing. Remember when Jonah Goldberg, after years of “you’re either with us or you’re a terrorist sympathizer”, started talking about “Liberal Fascism”? Remember how the party that tried to force an extremist religious viewpoint on America started talking about how […]
At Least We’re Not the Only Ones
Surprise! Another bit of GOP hypocrisy on the Recovery Act funds. […]
How About It Republicans?
E.J. Dionne has a question for 2nd amendment-loving politicians: (h/t Washington Monthly) I’ve been studying the deep thoughts of senators who regularly express their undying loyalty to the National Rifle Association, and I have decided that they should practice what they preach. They tell us that the best defense against crime is an armed citizenry […]
Mike Castle Taking Credit for Another ARRA Project Here (Updated w/ DL Graphinator)
While looking for links to the DNREC info on the denial of the permit, this is what I found (complete with supersized stunt check) : This was for an announcement by Gov. Markell of Wasterwater project funding by the Recovery bill. I don’t think that this incident of Mike Castle showing up to help take […]
Fiscal Conservative Hypocrisy Watch
Do words have meaning to the GOP anymore? Famous Appalachian Trail hiker Mark Sanford ran for Congress and for governor of South Carolina as a penny-pinching fiscal conservative. Guess who’s a big hypocrite? Politico analyzed Sanford’s travel records: The records detail more than $468,000 worth of state-funded travel for Sanford and show that he routinely […]
