Bill Maher Describes Rand Paul: It's As If Sarah Palin Made It Through Med School (VIDEO)

I am strongly opposed to this article.



Vehemently opposed, in fact.



Mainly because it made me laugh so hard I nearly choked on a Cadbury's rich tea biscuit...

The Tea Party Movement: A Force to Be Reckoned With

Is it beyond contempt and ignorant to compare the Obama administration to the Third Reich? Or members of Organizing for America as brownshirts or stormtroopers? I've been called both by folks on your side of the aisle. Liberals don't have the monopoly on horrifically inappropriate comparisons.

Tea Party Hates Tea Party Leader

I hadn't thought about that but it makes perfect sense and goes along with the online organizing Eric Odom of American Liberty Alliance has been doing for years.

Tea Party Hates Tea Party Leader

My favorite - "The Michael Steele of the Tea Party Movement"



He's clearly an idiot. He's clearly a liability. He clearly says things which embarrass the organization. And yet they can't fire him. Otherwise they would reveal the awful, horrific stupidity of their choice. Even though his every presence there undermines the very movement itself, in tern undermining those seeking to profit off and/or benefit from the movement.

Joe Lieberman On Massive Oil Spill: 'Accidents Happen'

I wonder what he would say if oil was barreling down on the coast of Connecticut.



Faisal Shahzad, Joe Liebermann ... what is it with people from Connecticut trying to destroy America?

Spill, Baby, Spill: The Texas-Sized Republican Crisis

Wow. Way to make me want to cry.



Seriously - is it Texas-sized yet? Last I heard it was only Rhode Island.



As Stephen Colbert said upon hearing they'd decided to set fire to it;

"That's right, Louisiana, now you don't have an oil slick the size of Rhode Island bearing down upon you; you have a WALL OF FIRE the size of Rhode Island bearing down upon you." Or something to that effect.



Great Post.

Obama's SF Comments Send Clinton Fishing With Dynamite

In response to Barack Obama's comment at a San Francisco fundraiser that frustrated working-class folk are capable of "antipathy to people who aren't like them," the Clinton campaign is viciously attacking the remarks while at the same time viciously stoking the antipathy of working-class folk to people who aren't like them.

The comment in question, which Obama gave here in town on Sunday April 6, related to the frustration of working-class voters with economic conditions:

"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Obama has apologized if his comment was poorly phrased or caused offense, as reported in Saturday's Chronicle, but also stood by his remarks (after clarifying them):

"So I said, well you know, when you're bitter you turn to what you can count on. So people, they vote about guns, or they take comfort from their faith and their family and their community. And they get mad about illegal immigrants who are coming over to this country."

After acknowledging his previous remarks in California could have been better phrased, he added: "The truth is that these traditions that are passed on from generation to generation, those are important. That's what sustains us. But what is absolutely true is that people don't feel like they are being listened to."

The Chron quotes former state Democratic Party chairman and current Clinton adviser Tom Hendrickson saying rural voters don't need "liberal elites" telling them what to believe.

Clinton made the following quote before factory-workers in Indianapolis:

"The people of faith I know don't 'cling' to religion because they're bitter. People embrace faith not because they are materially poor, but because they are spiritually rich."

"I also disagree with Senator Obama's assertion that people in this country 'cling to guns' and have certain attitudes about immigration or trade simply out of frustration," Clinton added.

Conspicuously absent is any mention by Clinton of people's antipathy to people not like them. Perhaps this is because she is just as much a liberal elitist as Barack Obama, if not more so (What's more elite than getting head from the President?). Or perhaps it's because Clinton's reaction to Obama's comment has been to prove him right by playing off the very insecurities and bitterness she criticizes him for mentioning.

On Wednesday April 9, The Colbert Report's regular segment, The Word, was discussing the potential for the Clinton campaign to purchase the island nation of Palau. Stephen Colbert mentioned how Clinton could help Palau fight the scourge of illegal dynamite fishing, "where fisherman throw a bunch of bombs in the water and hope for something dead to float up." Next to Colbert's head, a message popped up in the usual space:"Clinton Campaign Strategy."
