Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

This will come as a shock- the people at MoveOn.Org are a bunch of liars. In Spinsanity’s words:

In short, with The Daily Mislead, MoveOn has become the leader of a new school of liberal criticism that seeks to brand every policy disagreement with President Bush as a broken promise or lie. These loose accusations trivialize charges of dishonesty, reducing them to little more than another partisan spin tactic.

Must have been reading the CalPundit’s Tautology of Lies. At any rate, does anyone else find it amusing that a group formed to ‘move on’ past the events that led to the statement “it depends on what the meaning of the word is, is” now lying at every opportunity? At least they have been consistent throughout with their respect for the truth. They have none.

    Move on only wants to move on when it is a Democrat. Thought you already knew that. That’s old news.

    Since their level of truth is Clintonian, I had long since dismissed them. I don’t think that they would know truth if it came up and bit them in the rear.

    Move On means only one thing: move on completely into the lying idiocy branch of being despicable.

    Yeah, I used to like MoveOn until they stopped caring so much about the truth. I understand their reasoning — the truth doesn’t appear to sell very well — but there are abyss gazing issues here.

    So we have a millionaire with some weird ideas, obsessed with getting the president, funding a website which launches attack after attack at that president. Circa 1998, this was a Bad Thing.

    Democracy in Eastern Europe is a weird idea?

    And yes, the Left is uncomfortable with the parallels.

    Who in the left is uncomfortable? Some of his weird ideas are arguably anti-Semitic, for example.

    Um, Soros is a holocaust survivor. This is the kind of insanity which results when “antisemitism” is redefined as “disagrees with Israeli policy.”

    That’s like saying “He can’t be racist! He’s Black!” Soros blamed the Jews as a whole AND Israel.
