NPR Destroys Republican Talking Point

Filed in National by on February 25, 2010 11 Comments

The media coverage of the health care reform debate has been quite frustrating because the coverage has not covered the substance of the debate. It’s been the typical “on one hand, on the other hand” type of coverage which has allowed Republicans to get away with telling outrageous lies about health care reform (death panels!!!!). […]

That is the title of this blog post from Ron Reagan’s Air America blog. I never get to to hear Ron Regan’s show, but he can be very good of even pretty wonky topics. So it was fun to hear him have on at the expense of wingnut buffoonery this past year.

Flip Floppin’ McCain

Filed in National by on December 1, 2009 3 Comments

I’m not even sure of the best word to describe this story. Is McCain just lying and hoping nobody can remember his health care plan from last year? Is he just become senile?

Ron Reagan, jr. was absolutely correct.  Frank better watch his mouth.  Talk about crossing a line, […]
