We all know how the right bristles whenever a comparison is made between George W. Bush and/or his administration and either Adolph Hitler and/or fascism. Perhaps this BBC report will shine some light on why they bristle. Perhaps it hits a little close to home?

I’ve always found it fascinating how right wing mouth […]

At first, I thought this was a ruse. I always do when I hear people talk like this, especially young people who are in college. But then I saw it was Max Blumenthal who was interviewing these smug, little, republican bastards, and I was forced to once again admit… people like this really do exist. […]

The other day, I posted how happy I was… that the mainstream media was finally starting to question the Bush administration’s abused and over-used “al-Qaeda in Iraq” lie. For those of you who haven’t heard yet, a group of dissidents in Iraq - after the invasion - decided to use the name “al-Qaeda in […]

If you’ve ever wondered how republicans have been able to get away with hijacking the “Christianity and morals and family values” mantel, here’s a classic example. Quite often, the loyal opposition party – that would be my Democrats – act out of political fear and weakness, instead of moral righteousness and courage. The impeachment issue […]

And forgive me if the right wing disclaimer sounds harsh, but the reality is… this discussion is too nuanced, too intelligent and too based in reality… for the goose stepping, Bush supporting boot-lickers to understand. It goes completely against the mind numbing, nationalistic, fear mongering, “George W. Bush is GOD” garbage they’ve allowed themselves to […]

For literally years now, I have whined, moaned, bitched and complained over the Bush administration’s dishonest misuse of the term “al-Qaeda in Iraq.” I have said there was no operational or “membership” link between “al-Qaeda in Iraq,” and the “real” al-Qaeda, which the Bush administration keeps telling us attacked us on 9-11.

I have said […]

The administration, Dr. Carmona said, would not allow him to […]

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A federal appeals court Friday ordered the dismissal of an ACLU lawsuit challenging President Bush’s domestic surveillance program.

President Bush secretly instituted the National Security Agency’s domestic spying program after 9/11.

Remember the Hillary/Bill Clinton Sopranos take off? It was pretty well received, and you can bet they spent a pretty penny having it produced.

The night before Ann Coulter’s most recent visit, Chris Matthews promoted and justified her scheduled appearance with these words: “Say what you will, she sells books.”

“I wish the Iranian people well, and only hope their experience with an inept, rigid, ideologue president goes better than ours.”
