In 2008 I supported Barack Obama in the primaries because I thought he was the best of the major candidates. Hillary Clinton supported the Iraq War, making her unfit for the presidency, as did Joe Biden and John Edwards. His promise to restore the rule of law was another bonus, as was his stand against crony capitalism. By the time the primaries reached my state I was more than happy to attend my county convention as an Obama delegate.

Professional concern-troll Tommy Christopher of Mediaite tried to get Markos Moulitsas to censor part of a diary here at Daily Kos. When that failed, he wrote not one but two columns about it that would be masterpieces of unintentional comedy were it not for Christopher's smear of Mike Stark as "a man with a troubling history".

One week after the Breitbart Hoax caused Shirley Sherrod to be fired from her job and right-wingers are at it again.

For those who were asleep for the last ten days, let's recap: A known con artist by the name of Andrew Breitbart saw fit to peddle a doctored video of a USDA employee named Shirley Sherrod giving a speech to a local NAACP chapter. The video was doctored in a way to make it appear as though Sherrod was bragging that she had discriminated against a white farmer. The Obama administration showed a yellow streak a mile wide and fired her because they fear Glenn Beck. To their credit, they are offering to re-hire Sherrod.

Now it's Oliver Stone's turn to get the Breitbart treatment...

Before I get started, let me say up front that while I agree with much of what Ed Schultz says on his radio and TV shows I often find him annoying, self-centered and petty towards other liberal hosts like Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy.

However, that's no excuse to smear the man in a selectively edited tape which appears to have been put together by a racist website whose proprietor is employed by none other than Jew-hater Glenn Beck, who just recently expectorated the old blood libel about Jews killing Jesus.

This morning on MSNBC, they had a news story about the proposed building of a mosque near the site of what used to be the World Trade Center. It was a typical example of the false "even-handedness" that passes for journalism and commentary these days ("opinions differ as to whether Earth is round or flat"; here to present the Flat Earth argument is...").

I see the Swiss justice system, in its infinite wisdom, has decided not to hand over fugitive convicted child rapist Roman Polanski. While it's a shame when any child molester doesn't get locked up (especially those who so brazenly flout the law as Polanski has done), Roman Polanski isn't the only confessed violent criminal to flout the law and escape justice.

In his latest column, M.J. Rosenberg of Media Matters and Huffington Post shows how shameless Israel's fanboy apologists are. Clearly they lack the forbearance of Stalin's media hacks back in the 1930s, who had the good sense to wait a few days or even a few weeks before coughing up Moscow's latest party line like a furball. They also at least made the effort to re-write the agitprop so as not to be seen as obvious shills for a thug regime. Israel's fanboys are capable of neither.

The target of this particular smear campaign is Judge Richard Goldstone, who authored the UN report that shows in no uncertain terms that the actions taken by the IDF and IAF (as well as Hamas) during the Gaza Massacre were war crimes that killed between 1300-1400 people -most of them civilians and over 300 of them children. Since the various IDF camp followers in the media can't dispute any of the facts in the report, they are now flailing about, groping for anything to attack Goldstone with.

Pat Buchanan has a long and ugly track record of historical "revisionism". Whether it's claiming that Jews were never gassed to death at Treblinka, or that Europe would have been better off if Britain and France hadn't declared on Germany after Hitler invaded Poland, Buchanan can be counted on to spew a steady stream of revisionist vomitus in favor of racist, fascist thugs (among his childhood heroes was Francisco Franco).

Watching Glenn Beck and the other mountebanks who incite and egg on the cowardly racist thugs known as the Teabaggers is like watching a "re-imagining" of another group of charlatans who fomented a similar mob of cowardly racist thugs back in the late 1800s.

I see Walpurgisnacht has come early this year. The ghastly daughter of confessed war criminal Dick and Lynne Cheney has, along with her deranged supporters, launched an ad accusing lawyers in the Justice Department of being traitors -referring to them as "The Al Qaeda 7″.

Yesterday morning I had the misfortune to listen to KSKY 660 AM, a local D-list right-wing radio station in the Fort Worth/Dallas area. The host, one Mike Smolter (er, "Gallagher") coughed up the usual right-wing furballs.

For those who don't know, one Joshua Tabor is charged by authorities in Washington for using water torture on his four-year-old daughter because she couldn't recite the alphabet.
