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 [...]

How many deaths will make little Joey Lieberman feel better?

Okay, we get it. Lieberman is pissed at liberals and progressives because they had the temerity to be angry with him for supporting an unlawful, unnecessary, and unwinnable war. He wants to stick it to us. And the only way he can do it is to screw us on HCR.
It makes him feel good.
It will [...]

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 [...]

Shillgate Denialism: why the rightwing Republican corporate shills aren’t getting traction with ‘climategate’

While our friends at redstate Trike Force HQ and elsewhere are busy prostituting themselves to corporations that profit greatly from selling dinosaur era fuel, all their jumping up and down is profiting them little.
They think they have debunked the climate change ‘myth’ conclusively. They are of course wrong, but, trapped in their self amplifying echo [...]

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 [...]

Palin booed by disgruntled autograph seekers

This is priceless (via ThinkProgress):

This is one reason why I’m still not convinced she’ll have any real success if she runs in 2012. She and her handlers are so arrogant and inept that they even anger fanatics who took time off from work and waited in the cold and rain all [...]
