The trap of absolutist health care reform opposition will hurt Republicans

Greg Sargent at The Plumline has a piece up about the upcoming HCR litmus test the rightwingers are going to hold Republicans to over the next eight months.
He describes how anything less than absolute rejection and opposition from the likes of the already intensely disliked Mitch McConnell will not go over well with the empowered [...]

redstaters advocate violently trashing the constitution

The mods and regulars at Trike Force HQ are well known for vociferously disagreeing with anyone who veers one iota from their fringe diktats. It takes very little for commenters to get banned and some even have their blasphemy expunged from the record, leaving only white space where their heresy once appeared.
So, when a comment [...]

I admit it: global warming, or climate change, is a hoax

You have to hand it to the neo birchers, flat earthers, birthers, climate change deniers and free lance commie spotters. Fueled by Fox “News” misinformation and willful misunderstanding, they never let facts or reality get in the way of their delusions and grand conspiracy theories.
They know there is a vast left wing conspiracy to [...]

Rightwing Republican anti latino Xmas Carols

Via Think Progress
Here’s a little taste (to the tune of Feliz Navidad):

They’re going to spread bubonic plague this Christmas.
They’re going to bring me lots of bed bugs this Christmas.
They’re going to pass tuberculosis this Christmas.
Those illegals in my yard.

Think Progress reports this about Talk Radio Network’s Matt Fox and AJ Rice, the duo responsible for [...]

Obama, NFL fight obesity, rightwingers freak

The ever rational rightwingers are outraged that Obama is turning the NFL into a cadre of revolutionary marxists bent on oppressing kid’s god given right to obesity and diabetes.
From the NFL:

President Barack Obama will join Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware in a special public service announcement debuting [...]

Perino: no terrorists attacks occurred during Bush administration

From Media Matters and Huffington Post:
No, really. She actually said that. And she wasn’t joking. And, of course, Hannity and the other guest didn’t bat an eye or, y’know, remind her about the almost 3000 people who died eight years ago or about the fatal anthrax letters.

This is a sad follow [...]

The Uninformed Agrieved: at least they know they’re mad

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Mathews conduct of this interview and it brings up an important trend: the proud and willful rejection of any reference to facts and rationality in preference for stridently reactionary emotionalism.
Chris Mathews actually came down pretty hard on Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence Rhode Island over his [...]

the teabagging of a political party

Greenwald, Hullabaloo, TPM, along with many other sane people, as well as some not so sane people, are trying to figure out the right wing and republican freak out over terror trials.
Of course, the Trike Force, aka the redstate 101s Fighting Keyboarders, are barely keeping it together.
The snake is eating its tail. This will not [...]

The Party of No: I object! I object! I object! I object! I object!

Not having a plan of their own, the rightwingers and Republicans can only try to keep actual plans from being heard.
The teabaggers have taken over the party and the party has adopted the teabaggers methods of red faced screaming and tantrum throwing. It is willful and pridefully deliberate ignorance on parade and it is ugly [...]

Republicans: Dem wins = voter fraud; Rep wins = will of the people

TPM and Media Matters have good pieces up about rightwingers and Republicans already alleging voter pre fraud. That there is no evidence of this happening in 2006 or 2008 does not keep sites like redstate.com from alleging past and future fraud.
Does anyone want to place a wager on the accuracy of this prediction: rightwingers and [...]
