Rush Limbaugh talking about Obama’s plan to reform health care in the US: I’ll tell you why Obama wants to hurry. I’ll answer my own question. If he doesn’t get it done now he’s not going to get it done because everything he’s doing is falling apart. Everything he’s doing is crumbling. He’s in a […]
Karl Rove is out with a new column in the Wall Street Journal called (unabashedly) “How to Stop Socialized Health Care“. What’s completely hypocritical of this is that Rove was one of the main promoters of the Medicare prescription drug benefit in 2003, which was the biggest move in 40 years toward what Rove now […]
There are too many “facts” being thrown around in the healthcare debate, and not enough information for me to figure out which ones are true. This is made worse by “facts” that I know are false. For example, I keep hearing opponents of health care reform claim that if health insurance was provided by the […]
A while ago, the Republicans noticed that calling an opponent a “liberal” didn’t quite have the sting it once did, so they decided to simply replace the word “liberal” with the word “socialist”. Seriously. Unfortunately, I don’t think any of them bothered to look up what socialism means. This led to ironic situations where people […]
Robert Reich reports that the big pharmaceutical and health insurance companies are gaining ground in their effort to kill the public option in the health care reform bill that is being worked on in Washington. In other words, we’re about to get the same health care reform we got during the Carter administration, when pharma […]
This clip from Rachel Maddow’s show is a full meal of irony and hypocrisy. The appetizer is Newt Gingrich calling Sonia Sotomayor a racist, followed by him issuing a non-retraction retraction. The main course is Manuel Miranda, who is leading the effort to get Republicans to filibuster the confirmation of Sotomayor. Ironically, Miranda founded the […]
On Glenn Beck’s show on Fox News, actor Craig T. Nelson (Coach) declares that he isn’t going to pay taxes anymore, because he doesn’t like what the government is doing with his money. He rants that no one takes responsibility anymore. He then drops a stunningly hypocritical line: I’ve been on food stamps and welfare, […]
Last week, right-wing talk radio was all steamed up that most of the car dealerships being closed by Chrysler were owned by people who had contributed to the GOP. Keith Olbermann does a much better (and funnier) job than I could of explaining why this is so.
Just after meeting one-on-one with nominee Sonia Sotomayor, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Jeff Sessions, announced that he would like to delay the Supreme Court confirmation hearings until September. Some have theorized that conservatives want the delay because the recent murder of abortion doctor George Tiller will make it difficult for them […]
It is a rare day when I agree with Fox News, let along credit them with coming up with a good point, but Fox News reporter Steve Brown today accused Norm Coleman of judicial activism in his court case trying to overturn the election of Al Franken to the Senate: The five justices, five of […]
In the wake of the murder of a Kansas doctor who performed abortions by a pro-life zealot, isn’t it hypocritical that the same people who screamed about William Ayers being a domestic terrorist and attacked Obama for “palling around” with him don’t think of people who kill doctors or bomb medical facilities as domestic terrorists? […]
Karl Rove on Fox News‘ “On the Record”, May 26th: We know from her record on the 2nd Court of Appeals that she’s not a particularly effective colleague. I first got wind of this when Sam Alito, who was her colleague on the court while we were reviewing his record, it — you know, people […]
One of the complaints that conservatives like to throw at judges they don’t like is that they are “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench”. They seem to use it as an all-purpose insult, even when it doesn’t apply. An excellent example of this is Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor. When conservatives […]
