OMFG: Zeitgeist Is ‘Right-Wing’?

It’s the liberal Rorshach test — show them an inkblot and liberals scream, “Blame conservatives!” Loughner’s Conspiracy-Fueled Rampage Has Origins on the Fringe Right Now, you don’t have to believe that Sarah Palin purchased the gun for Loughner and whispered in his ear about targets to believe that the rhetoric on the far, far right played […]

Tucson’s James Fuller: ‘My Personal Agenda Promoting Social Justice’

James Fuller has been using his victimhood in the Tucson massacre to lash out at political scapegoats who had nothing to do with Jared Lee Loughner’s heinous crime. Fuller got himself arrested Saturday when he threatened a Tea Party leader, and people naturally are wondering, “Who the heck is this guy?” Fortunately, Fuller himself has told […]

Liberals Cheer as Lawyers Attempt to Destroy the Housing Market in Maryland

David Dayen at Firedoglake is doing cartwheels: In a major ruling Friday, a coalition of nonprofit defense lawyers and consumer protection advocates in Maryland successfully got over 10,000 foreclosure cases managed by GMAC Mortgage tossed out, because affidavits in the cases were signed by Jeffrey Stephan, the infamous GMAC “robo-signer” who attested to the authenticity […]

Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life […]

Mission Accomplished, Markos Moulitsas

You can’t un-Tweet it, you see. Before the suspect had been identified, before his motive was known, you blamed Sarah Palin for an atrocious crime of which she was utterly innocent. The facts of your cruel defamation are chronicled precisely by Professor Willliam Jacobson: As far as I can tell, Matthew Yglesias of Think Progress was […]

They Only Have to Be Right Once

“Here we go,” says William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection, after a Democrat decides that applying the phrase “job killing” to ObamaCare is an incitement to violence: A good place to start a more civil dialog would be for my Republican colleagues in the House to change the name of the bill they have introduced to […]
