How Rand Paul is the New Sarah Palin [Hyde And Hyde]

Both emerged from nowhere, became darlings of the right and proceeded to go on devastating media tours which revealed exactly how extreme their views were, and how unprepared they both seemed for national office. But the similarities don’t stop there. More

The GOP's 2010 Campaign Video

Fox News Says Healthcare Reform is the Beginning of Armageddon [Doom]

Healthcare reform will pass. It’s not perfect, but it is better than nothing and almost universally a good thing. Unless you’re Fox News , in which case it’s the end of the world. We’re watching their apocalyptic coverage, mystified. Fox has been peddling false information and bad journalism throughout the debate. They’ve been deliberately misinforming their viewers by featuring, and skewing towards, poorly-researched and ideologically motivated Republican talking points. Today’s coverage hit all the buttons — the emphasizing of protests, sad, resigned GOP-ers talking about rationed healthcare, the use of quotation marks in captions (it’s a healthcare “fix” according to Fox ), and the posing of ridiculously provocative questions “what is the TRUE cost of this bill — we report, you decide.” Even the New York Post — owned, like Fox , by Rupert Murdoch — is condemning them . Which is maybe the lowest moral high ground to be looked down at from. We’ll be updating this as and when the crazy happens. Here’s a lady comparing the Congressional Budget Office report on how much the bill will cost to… Enron and Madoff.

Right-Wing Bloggers Demand Apology From Lawmakers Called ‘Nigger’ By Tea Partyers [Idiots]

Yesterday a bunch of Tea Party anti-healthcare protesters called black and gay lawmakers ‘nigger’ and ‘faggot’ . Today the right-wing blogs want an apology — from the lawmakers, to the protesters. Glenn Reynolds, at Instapundit , targeted his ire at James Clyburn, the Congressman and veteran of the civil rights movement. (The capitals, inevitably, are his.) “DOES CLYBURN OWE TEA PARTY PROTESTERS AN APOLOGY? The bogus racism card has been played so often that I no longer find such charges very credible. I’m sure, however, that, true or not, they’ll be played much more loudly than the indisputably true statements about the antiwar movement.” Conservative blogger Ann Althouse is more magnanimous and forgiving of the lawmakers . She doesn’t want them to apologise. But she does feel that “it’s outrageous for them to pose as victims without very good cause. So what if some idiot said a bad word?” Meanwhile GOP chairman Michael Steele and House Minority Leader John Boehner condemned the protesters . The same protesters who they encourage and inspire with dog whistle phrases and sly hints .

Michele Bachmann Cannot Spell ‘America’ or ‘Congresswoman’ [Oops]

Michele Bachmann , the batshit-crazy Republican congresswoman from Minnesota, is either illiterate or so sick of the liberal conspiracy to take over the US that she’s started her own country, called ‘Amarica’ ( on Yahoo searches at least ). [ DCeiver’s Twitter ]
