You want to talk a little foreign money in politics? George Soros has admitted to donating $1 million to Media Matters for America. – Rush Limbaugh How wrong can Limbaugh get it? Well, first of all, Soros announced that he was donating money to Media Matters, which he didn’t have to do. Unlike all those […]
Republicans continue to claim that they will reduce government spending. For example, when asked how they will pay for extending the Bush tax cuts, they claim they will do it by cutting government spending. There’s one big problem with this. In order to cut government spending, you are going to have to cut at least […]
Yet another shining example of someone telling the government to keep their hands out of their government-run healthcare. Rebecca Kleefisch is the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, and is running an ad telling about her fight with cancer. She says “thanks to the highest quality health care system in the world, I won […]
A few days ago I speculated that, like anti-gay activists who turn out to be closeted homosexuals, many of the people who protest the loudest against illegal immigrants are guilty of hiring them. And that was before Lou Dobbs was exposed as an utter hypocrite. Helpfully enough, Ranker has provided a list of the “Top […]
© Rex Babin It has already become a virtual truism that people who are virulently anti-gay are probably acting out of their closet. With the recent revelation that that anti-immigrant hardliner Meg Whitman employed an illegal alien as a housekeeper for nine years, it seems that the same thing applies to people who condemn illegal […]
I no longer find it ironic when a top anti-gay crusader is found, um, tasting his own medicine, so I didn’t do a posting when rabid anti-gay pastor Eddie Long was found with a medium-sized harem of teen-aged boys. It almost goes without saying now that the more homophobic you are in public, the more […]
The Pledge to America was supposed to be based on the GOP’s much ballyhooed “GOP Listening Tour”, including their (taxpayer funded) “America Speaking Out” website where visitors submitted ideas that were voted up or down by others. But as Tiny Dupuy points out in “The Moderates’ Lament“, the most popular (by vote) ideas on the […]
© Mike Keefe Back when Republicans had control of the presidency, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court, they ran up record deficits. They lied us into unnecessary wars, they rammed unfunded Medicare Part D through Congress, they passed out tax breaks to rich people. Why why why would anyone believe that they are […]
California proposition 19 — to decriminalize and tax marijuana — is being opposed by an organization called “Public Safety First”. But it seems ironic that an organization whose very name implies that they want to promote public safety, has received a rather large donation from the California Beer and Beverage Distributors. Why would the alcohol […]
It was bad enough when, back in 2003, Fox News won a lawsuit against two whistleblowing reporters who accused the network of deliberately and knowingly lying. Two Fox reporters were working on a story about the significant health risks of milk coming from cows treated with bovine growth hormone (BGH). The station was initially excited […]
Jon Stewart seems to be the only media personality willing to take on Fox News, so it’s a good thing he does it so well. Here are some of the best clips from the Daily Show showing the hypocrisy and outright lying coming from Fox News, often in their own words: 1. Fair and Balanced? […]
So, is this the most absolutely stunning lying hypocrisy ever perpetrated by Fox News, or the stupidest, worst, most mind-numbingly idiotic reporting ever done by Fox News? We report, you decide. When Fox News attacked Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal as the shady, terrorist-loving funder of the ground zero mosque, did they truly not realize […]
Yes, I know it isn’t actually a mosque, and it isn’t at ground zero, but a reader sent me an interesting question. As you may know, the second largest owner of Fox News is a Saudi Prince who happens to be a Muslem. This reader claims that Fox News has not mentioned the proposed “ground […]
[excerpted from Tina Dupuy] It’s not that Republicans aren’t hypocrites – it’s more that the label just isn’t an effective dig. First, hypocrite is a fancy foreign Greek word like amnesty, ethics or Europe – how is that going to appeal to Republicans? Second, espousing virtues you don’t personally have to live up is basically […]
As soon as a judge threw out California’s Proposition 8, which banned gay people from marrying, as unconstitutional, then conservatives (you know, the same people who claim to love the constitution) started calling the judge names. They used words like “extreme judicial activism”, “judicial tyranny”, and “left-wing liberal judge”. What’s really funny about this is […]
