U.S. border agents fired tear gas on hundreds of migrants protesting near the border with Mexico on Sunday.

Children screamed and coughed as tear gas enveloped the group of migrants, according to an Associated Press reporter who was at the scene.

So of course I’m seeing RWNM bullshit today.

First of all, it wasn’t tear gas, but pepper spray and it’s nothing bad at all. You can put on your nachos, www.huffingtonpost.com/…! So, all those people running, coughing, screaming and crying are just not used to eating nachos with pepper spray I guess.

Second, everyone that is upset today is a big fucking hypocrite because Obama did it too, ww.foxnews.com/…!

Here’s the thing, it was not the same at all. Shocking, I know. In 2013, there was a planned attack, www.nbcsandiego.com/…. As you can see in the video, the group consisted of all men and they threw rocks and bottles. The migrants yesterday were families, women, children. Not the same thing.

I just don’t get it. They have been screaming at us about this “invasion” for weeks. They will keep them out like Obama didn’t. Then the migrants get tear gasses by the border patrol. And they say it’s nothing to worry about and Obama did it too. My brain is about to explode!

Sean Hannity interview Dr. Ben Carson last night and I just wanted to share a clip that I found to be funny, hypocritical and might actually make you feel good.

I saw this earlier on CNN tonight and looked for a diary here, but can't find one. I really don't want to repost old news so hopefully this is not the case here.

Suzanne Kelly on CNN reported that 'a senior U.S. intelligence official discounted a Fox News report from last Friday that said officials within the CIA chain of command denied repeated requests from its officers on the ground to assist during the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya'.

The Q&A Session with the House GOP last week was, for me, a remarkable political event. I don't know if I have ever been more proud of my president. We all benefited from this. I hope they do more of this in the future.

If I had to create the perfect president it wouldn't be far from Obama on Friday. He was smart, eloguent, took responsibility for failures, assigned responsibility when necessary, displayed patience with long questions, responded to ridiculous accusations with amazing grace, was funny and personable, gave thorough answers with great examples and never hesitated throughout the entire event.

While doing all of that he stayed on his message of Republicans and Democrats working together for the good of the country. I was extremely proud of him and learned a lot about how to talk to my wingnut acquaintances.

Another Tea Party, another huge success. Not. Last night, in Annapolis, MD there were ~~thousands!~~, nay, hundreds of outraged citizens demanding change!

I've been thinking about why Obama wants to reform healthcare a lot lately. I could not figure out why it is important to him until today. I finally think I've got the reason.

So it's official, the Bush administration won't do anything about greenhouse gas emissions ever. Just another day in BushWorld here.
When I first saw the headline I thought "that darn Bush did it again", but when I looked into this a little deeper though I found someone else who needs to be given an atta boy.

The man can not be trusted to keep his word. He said he would do one thing and now it appears he did not stick to his plan. I'm speaking, of course, about the now infamous Dinner Incident.

This is great news. The ultra-conservative Richmond Times-Dispatch poll shows Webb only down by 4 points.

POLL: Webb pulls nearly even with Allen

Apparently wounded by his alleged racial remark last month, Allen is now ahead of Webb by only 4 percentage points, surrendering an advantage of 16 percentage points in a July survey by the newspaper.
In the latest poll, Allen is preferred by 46 percent to 42 percent for Webb.
Because the gap is within the poll's 4-percentage-point margin of error, the contest can be considered a tossup.

He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future. by George Orwell.

I used to think this was just a cool lyric in a Rage Against The Machine song,
testify. But, this is a very scary truth. History is only an interpretation of the people who are in control.

The "Why we went to Iraq" question rages on. The real answer and what should be the history is, of course,
PNAC
We all know this is the reason, but it is hardly ever mentioned. The organization outlined their goals well before 9/11 and many key people entered the WhiteHouse with Bush in 2000. The adventurous wingnuts are trying to rewrite this history, An American Eagle in autumn.

The news has gotten hard to understand lately. We have Hannity screaming about WMDs, Ann Coulter writing fiction books calling liberals godless, supposed terror plots being foiled almost weekly now and Fred Barnes for Weekly Standard reporting on The Bush Bounce.
