Sick….

April 29, 2010

Just sick. If these people believe prayer works the way they claim, how is this not attempted murder?
Facebook fans attempt assassination by proxy
Facebook group praying for President Obama’s death reaches over 1,000,000 viewers.

This is one of those stories that exemplify so well how desperate and sad the Right Wing is in this country. If older white males want to be counted so badly among Obama’s voting base, they are more than welcome to have voted for him. That seems to be their complaint, anyway. Crybabys like Rush Limbaugh and Matt Drudge are crying that older white males weren’t included in the list of demographics that voted for Obama.

The G.O.P. race-baits by imagining race-baiting.

Glenn Beck, beyond ridiculous.

I could give a flying crap about the political process.


“I could give a flying crap about the political process. We’re an entertainment company.”
- Glenn Beck

Fits right in with the other douches.

Tom Tancredo can’t stand up to Markos Moulitsas and storms off set. Poor little guy.

Just further evidence that if the teabaggers around our country screaming and hollering about out of control spending really cared about deficits they would be FOR passing health care reform.

In an open letter, some of the nations top economists write:

Successful health care reform is vital to the nation’s fiscal and economic future. The legislation the House will vote on in the coming days will guarantee security of coverage, limit the costs of care, create incentives for improved quality of care, and set us on the path towards sustainable economic growth. In short, the House health reform legislation takes the steps necessary to promote our economic health.

Specifically, the bill:

* Reduces the deficit by over $100 billion in the first 10 years, and continues to reduce the deficit in subsequent years, as judged by the Congressional Budget Office.
* Takes initial steps to “bend the cost curve,” and thus might lead to even larger cost savings than official estimates suggest.
* Covers nearly all American citizens and legal residents.

We urge House passage of the legislation, which provides a historic opportunity to realize the long-delayed goal of significant health care reform.

Signed,

Dr. Henry J. Aaron, The Brookings Institution

Dr. David Cutler, Harvard University
Dr. Judy Feder, Georgetown University, Center for American Progress Action Fund
Dr. Dana Goldman, University of Southern California

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has already reported that the Democratic plan would reduce the Federal Deficit while the recently released G.O.P. plan would actually add to it.

Any conservatives or teabaggers who say that current Democratic proposals for health care reform would add to the deficit are either liars, misinformed or tragically confused.

The 11/3 Project

November 6, 2009

Jon Stewart does a tone-perfect Glenn Beck send up. Since Glenn Beck’s existence serves no other useful purpose in this world, he might as well be good for comedy.What makes this segment so brilliant is how little the satire varies from its target. The “logic” of Stewart’s monologues and the fragility of the connections he makes are no more ridiculous than Beck’s and rely on the same false positives and flimsy associations as Beck’s own. A very enjoyable spoof of Beck’s inanity and insanity.
