Activist Historian Howard Zinn’s Obit Causes a Firestorm – NPR Ombudsman Blog : NPR

While I’ve been posting positive and respectful homages to Howard Zinn, NPR has continued it’s slide to conservative BS “journalism” with a biased and insulting interview concerning Zinn’s passing.

At least this time at least one of their number understands that shitting on the dead is in poor form. Normal for conservatives, of course, but still the hallmark of a cretin.

Bob Cesca’s Awesome Blog! Go!: Go F-ck Yourself, Glenn Beck

(I)f I were to choose to use my full given name, I’d like to think it would be regarded as being equally as American as the millions upon millions of other immigrant names in the phone book. Speaking of the phone book, there are at least 100 “Glenn Beck” listings at the White Pages website. Probably hundreds more. Does that make his name more American than, say, Eisenhower? Or Petraeus?


Bob is pissed. And he should be. Hell, every decent sane American should be. Read this assessment of that assmunch Beck and then – if you are into masochism – check this rundown, including audio.

Large Portion Of GOP Thinks Obama Is Racist, Socialist, Non-U.S. Citizen: Poll

The actual title to this article should be: “Large Portion of GOP Are Inbred Pig Fuckers” or something to that effect.

Actually, I don’t blame individual Republicans. Much. I mean, yes, it IS their fault for only listening to Lush Rimjob or Pat Racistson or watching FAUXNews. But the lies being fed to them from conservative Tea Bag wingnut sources are created by people who have enough brain cells to upload a webpage update and run a radio studio or TV camera. So, it’s more the merchants of shit than the consumers of treason that are the problem.

Here are the actual poll results. To think these repressive cretins actually believe they embrace the spirit of America. Then again, slavers thought they were Americans once too I suppose.

Michael Gerson – In the State of the Union address, ‘Principal’ Obama had lessons for all – washingtonpost.com

I don’t believe much of what this jackass is selling, but I do wish to post it for one significant laughable reason.

Michael Gerson, you see, is one of Bush’s speechwriters. You know, the president that never, EVER apologized for anything. You know, like ignoring threat assessments and getting 3,000 people killed in NYC. Or for starting a war in Iraq that has killed hundreds of thousands for no damn good reason. And so on, and so on.

So I find it hilarious and incredibly telling of the type of Republican bullshit and lies we’re forced to endure for some reason as a logical response to actual thought and legislation.

Gerson’s main complaint about the State of the Union speech is that Obama didn’t apologize “enough” for the things he could have done better.

Which is sad really. The guy who put the words into the “man” who ran away when our nation was attacked during 9/11 and never apologized for ignoring the evidence that an attack was going to happen. The failed man who killed 4,500 American military men and women needlessly never apologized for it. The weak man who killed hundreds of thousands of foreigners and called for a new Crusades never apologized.

The guy who wrote the lies for that unapologetic shit thinks Obama hasn’t apologized enough for saying he – and all of us – can do better. Incredible.

Obama Goes To GOP Lions’ Den – And Mauls The Lions

Obama went to visit the House GOP members today, and they played silly politics while he did his job. He took them on and make them look foolish, so much so that FAUXNews stopped airing the discussion 20 minutes before it ended.

This is what I voted for.

This is what an American President looks like confronting the racists, bigots, do-nothings, and traitors who live only to oppose him.

Damn good job Mr. President.

Leahy Slams Alito For ‘Under Oath’ Testimony To Committee

The problem with conservatives is that they often make oaths or promise things and then conveniently forget it when the moment comes to be ethical or just keep their word. Senator Patrick Leahy calls out Samuel Alito for basically lying to Congress during his confirmation hearings.

Why this is relevant today of all days is that Justice Alito went all Joe Wilson last night and broke decorum by editorializing during the State of the Union speech. Check it out:

What a turd. You are supposed to be above party bickering. That said, given said body’s response to weigh in on, much less ever bother to hear, Bush v. Gore pretty much says everything you need to know about the current Supreme Court.
