How quickly we forget.
If a comparison of media treatment is the point, then the MSM were pretty much imbedded in Bush's pocket in one of the worst examples of journalistic integrity--they bent over after 9/11 like a limp noodle.
A better question would have been: What if the Bush...
Lots of punks for every occasion.
We can hardly forget one of the biggest political hoaxes--Weapons of Mass destruction--
The American people were the quintessential dupes that got summarily punked.
Most of the criticism leveled on President Obama from the right wing has been stupendously farcical, from the Teleprompter, through the dog choice, down to the olympics, ending with the peace prize, wether intentional or not.
Punks all the way.
If I were choosing a song for interrogating Dick Cheney--it would be Kenny Rogers' Coward of the County
By the third go-around anyone would confess to anything...
Evryone considered him the coward of the county.
Hed never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama named...
Oh for 44 so far....
I'd settle for a president that doesn't make me laugh and cringe in horror at the same time.
Pretty hard to hammer Obama so soon after the immediate 2-term predecessor. It just sounds hollow and self-serving...
Holy eco-theist, batman... The right-wing conservative echo-chamber (real dogma junkies) have been sent out their marching orders...and they sure are dutifully spewing todays preaching choir.
That internet thingy is pretty handy if you want to fool the minions into repeating whatever gospel...
Video Translation: Just stick to drinking from your designated water fountain, Mr. President. We "real" God-loving Americans are willing not to hang you and burn your house down...for now.
Next.
I am confident you can re-read this statement with the bolded changes and very quickly find the logical fallacy of the original version.
But just incase, to whit, the following statement:
but you can by inferential means... You look to other factors to conclude both exist. Therefore, to...
QFT
And their editorial slant is showing from a mile away.
I have no doubt that The Gerry Springer Show could quote some very convincing ratings numbers.
Doesn't make it any less trash.
I don't know about the arguments that invoke pain or pleasure or enjoyment, but clearly any invocation of these is an exercise in gold-plated anthropomorphism.
If you consider that the vast majority of living organisms do not procreate via sexual mechanisms and don't have a central nervous...
How quickly we forget. Can you say Bill Kristol, Johnny?
Since 1993 the entire GOP focus has been to protect health insurance companies and their heavy % yearly increases.
Monkeywrenching healthcare reform is especially sacred to the neocons--they revel in that shit.
If they can confuse...
Washington Times: the paper of the super-duper overprivileged--complaining about rich anybody is patently laughable.
Big surprise they are whoring for the mega-CO2 emitting industries.
I have yet to identify any poster here on AT as a _True_ liberal.
"Liberal" is a state of mind and a state of grace that is a difficult ideal to achieve. Only the most thoughtful and intelligent can break through the pettiness in human interactions to lay claim to the title of true liberal...
Palin's one positive contribution:
Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck etc. don't sound quite so insane next to her.
...Well, OK...maybe I'm being too hasty.
Queue the tear machine, Glenda.
Hell, who is to say these guys aren't on to something:

Now, if you dreamed-up a plan for Birthers to raise bogus copies of Obama's birth certificate up as high over their heads in order to reflect back the Sun's radiation--that would be silly.
Maybe...
More to the point: There is an awful lot to be lost in profits if global warming is to be reduced.
But the larger principle which the OP alludes to (knowingly or not) is:
Let scientist do their job. In science, conclusions are made based on the facts, and when a consensus is achieved--that...
Clearly, this goes even further than just pure party politics.
Rape-ublicans have been organizing a political strategy of "block, mock and fock" the Obama administration.
That is all they have right now-no ideas of their own, so no-matter what happens: the coordinated and orchestrated...
The difference is Bush and GOP had 8 years to prove they were "running the Country into the ground"
Lots of facts and evidence to support the claim.
Obama has had 6 months plus...and in that time he has spent most of it trying to undue Bush + GOP f'ups.
That is the way I see it.
Ginsberg's nomination hearings were rather substantive. I remember quite clearly how embarrassing it was for the questioners to be given a thorough lesson in the law by Ginsberg. She practically had to explain their own ill conceived questions back to them.
It was a true intellectual miss-match.
Yes, hesitant to admit GOP membership, or outright hesitant to become GOP members. Either way 6% is interesting.
I know quite a few scientist-most of my friends and co-workers are such- and I have yet to meet one that had any kind of distaste for the title of liberal. Most embrace the...
A common sentiment seen again and again throughout American history.
unwittingly or not, the sentiment in the above post is at the core of what is really going on, IMHO.
It's not that the GOP and their sympathizers are against racism as a behavior-- clearly they indulge and thrive on...
Let's be intellectually honest. In this society and ever since since we've had a historical memory--women have been treated with varying degrees of disdain. That is across the board, not just limited to politics sensu stricto--although if politics = power, then absolutely. Power and wealth, to...
Beck probably had no idea who Thomas Paine was until 3 months before his ghost writer brought him the idea for a book, and his editors are just as clueless. If anyone thinks that there are any real and relevant parallels between Paine's pamphlet in 1776 to crybaby-come-at-least-8-years-too-late...
Yet more terrorist attacks on regular working-class American citizens by big-business and corporate nutbags whose real agenda is to bust all unions everywhere-- so they can increase their million-dollar bonuses.
These are the people who've f'ed our economy, and yet they want nothing more...
Clearly the Constitution does not protect hate speech, and provocation to anger. Lots of other types of speech the constitution does not protect.
Fox News nor anyone else is exempt. You don't get special dispensation to commit illegal acts just because you have a broadcast license.
Main point to be made here is that there is no single shred of objective evidence that God(s) exists. An assertion to the contrary is irrational since it is not based on any objective, credible evidence.
Equally, taking any Bible writings as the word of God is purely an exercise in irrational...
If people do leave the state, it can only make it better for those who stay. Same true for everywhere else.
Cut population in half anywhere--and it would be a better place to live in.
