It's hard to imagine a better poster child for 'Republican family values' than this guy. He's a 'self-proclaimed' reverend who met two underaged teenaged girls who were in a Christian counseling program, and sexually molested them. Try to wrap your brain around that. Two young, vulnerable women, clearly troubled, trying to get help from a Christian organization, and this animal takes advantage of them. It's really sick.... Read More

ABC has really gone into the toilet, journalistically. That's most clear, of course, with The Note, but a lot of their supposedly straight reporting is just unvarnished Rove talking points. This story is supposed to be straight coverage of YearlyKos, right? So who do they interview? Why, a conservative blogger, of course. And what comes out of his mouth the very first thing? The wingers and media's worst fear -- that the Democratic party will listen to its base. Oh also, that Dems are negative and have no ideas. Oh yeah, they also quote that 'liberal blogger,' Ann Marie Cox. But not a single Kossack. Read More

I have this sinking feeling that war with Iran is inevitable now--driven by the neocon' insane desire to dominate the world oil market, and election year politics. I read an earlier diary here about the Iran Freedom Support Act introduced in the Senate by Rick Santorum -- and supported by a number of so-called 'liberal democrats'. Let me give you a little flavor of the text: Read More

I hope this is not a duplication but it's so egregious I had to comment...

Notice the way Nags handles his comparisons between left and right bloggers:

Not incidentally, as it becomes more integrated in American politics, the Internet is being pressed into service for the less seemly side of campaigns.
Both parties have set up Web sites to discredit opponents. In Tennessee, Republicans spotlighted what they described as the lavish spending habits of Representative Harold E. Ford Jr. with a site called www.fancyford.com. That site drew 100,000 hits the first weekend, and extensive coverage in the mainstream Tennessee press, which is typically the real goal of creating sites like this. And this weekend, the Republicans launched a new attack site, www.bobsbaggage.com, that is aimed at Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey and focused on ethics accusations against him.

Yesterday, and into today, we seem to be seeing rightwing meltdown. Maybe it's Bush's subzero numbers or the slip he made in his last speech, admitting that somebody else was going to need to clean up the Iraqi mess after he's gone.

But after some of the Washington Post's new Bush-embed blogger Ben Domenech's previous racist, inflammatory rhetoric was revealed, the Post's entire blog operation was flooded with complaints and either overloaded or shut down. Chris Matthews's world is crumbling as he comes to grips with the fact that no, people really don't like Bush. Joe Leiberman flipped out on a journalist. And ABC's The Note just lost it:

The story below [from the Jerusulem Post] illustrates yet another reason we should never let any foreign country run our ports or dictate our policies. Let's call it `cultural differences'....

The parent company of a Dubai-based firm at the center of a political storm in the US over the purchase of American ports participates in the Arab boycott against Israel, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Yesterday, even after the failure of the filibuster to stop Alito, I felt elated. Yes, it would have been great to stop him from being nominated, but there was really no chance of that. The Republicans thoroughly greased the PR skids - and the 'liberal media' stepped up to the plate and did a yeoman's job of creating a warm, charismatic, complely fictional persona for Alito, which bore no resemblance whatsoever to the actual individual - a small, charmless, calculating and ruthless idealogue.

The fix is in...

Banks, credit unions and money management firms are now quietly positioning themselves to become central players in the business of health care, offering 401(k)-type accounts to cover future medical expenses.

The more it changes, the more it stays the same. The same basic cast of characters who gave us Vietnam, Iran-contra and countless other public policy atrocities are still in power. They have been since the Reagan years, and some stretching back to Nixon. They may not have been out front, but they were there, behind the scenes, pulling strings, tucked into cubbyholes in the Pentagon and arcane, but powerful policy positions in the gigantic, byzantine Defense Department establishment.

But now, the heaviest of the heavy hitters - Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld - are at the pinnacle of power. And Bush's connections were their admission ticket. It's taken them 30 years to get there. Bush thinks he's on a mission from God, Cheney thinks he is God and Rumsfeld is cashing in. Do you really think they're going to walk away and just give it up in 2 years?

Here's a typical fawning, gag-inducing CNN puff covering yet another of Bush's Rolling Bullshit Tours. Yeah, they're `spontaneous' -- you betcha. The point of this one of course, is to equate Democrats --or anyone at all who disagrees with anything Bush does -- as treasonous.

Move over, Oprah. President Bush is making himself into television's newest talk show host by featuring audience participation in his appearances.

Karl Rove is baaaack -- after hanging in a 'secure location' [maybe Cheney's cave] for a bit following the indictment of Scooter Libby, Rove comes roaring back. First he appears before the RNC to excoriate Democrats for "wild and reckless and false charges" against Bush on the issue of domestic spying -- and then his lackeys in the media launch, on the same day, a wide-ranging assault on the political left, attempting to equate the entire Democratic party with terrorists.

It is of course, unsurprising that the GOP would choose this week to begin their next marketing campaign -- from long experience in the marketing industry, I can tell you that, indeed, mid-January is when you kick-off new product launches. The holidays are over, it's back to business as usual. And business as usual is what we're getting from the wingers -- the usual business of lies and deception and demonization. Read More
