July 31, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

(Updated below) It’s always interesting to me how the right wing reacts to certain articles that espouse ideas that are so close to their own. Most especially when those ideas are from the most hated of enemies, the despised New York Times. Catapulting the propaganda via the right wing blogsphere. From Memeorandum: New York Times: [...]

if the left does it – bad. if the right does it – good

July 30, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

It would appear that Fox News online has seen fit to publish an AP article verbatim. So what you say? Well, according to the ever intrepid and on top of it propaganda bozos over at Newsbusters, the AP article in question is proof of the liberal media conspiracy that “ AP Shills for MoveOn, Daily [...]

The following comment is from this post at Flopping Aces: All an unannounced republican has to do is stay that way for a few more months. Shrillary will destroy the Islamic candidate and in the process destroy herself. Talk about no 08 candidate. the democrats have dug up ever dead dog they can find and [...]

impeaching cheney’s white house mafia

July 28, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

It’s become obvious to even the most casual observer, who isn’t a Bush/Cheney Kool-Aid Kid™, that laws have been broken and continue to be broken by members of the Bush / Cheney Administration. From the Op-Ed page of the Atlanta Constitution-Journal: In theory, President Bush is sworn to faithfully execute the laws of the United [...]

Today’s roundup of wingnut wisdom in regard to the Beachamp “issue”: Shorter Ace of Spades: “Yes, I know it’s not a big story, it’s a small story, a very small story, but damn it, it has the potential of being possibly true and a huge story, once we get all the facts, which we don’t [...]

Thanks to Noelle Belle over at Crooks and Liars for the link to one of my yarns. C&L does the good work so people like you and I can wake up and drink our coffee knowing that truth does indeed have a heartbeat and a nice dance floor on which to spread out and trip [...]

Dirty Tricks: Clinton Fatigue and the First Woman President (Maybe)

July 24, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

A few days back, Avedon composed a nice piece about how the right wing noise machine constructs dirty tricks by manipulating unimportant information or “mistakes” in order to create a “news story” that is then spun around the right wing echo chamber to create a “scandal”. An expensive haircut is one of the most popular [...]

wingut world continues losing streak with Gore’s fish and Kirsten’s kaffyeh

July 20, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

Consider this: You’re a member of an ideological group that controlled Congress from 1994 to 2006 and the Presidency for 19 of the past 27 years. The past six years were the first time you controlled both Congress and the Presidency in generations and it’s all been a triumphant disaster. A total washout that has [...]

This guy makes me laugh so hard my sides hurt. Then the laughter gives way to the realization that he actually believes what he says: “I contend [abortion] affects you in immigration,” DeLay told the Washington-area gathering. “If we had those 40 million children that were killed over the last 30 years, we wouldn’t need [...]
