I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

    How much of that does Hannity get, and will it pay for his Airbus A-380 Superjumbo chartered flight to his hotel across town?

    After they break the windows in the Democratic Party headquarters they’re supposed to stick around and “await arrest”.

    They didn’t do that. They ran away. So, can’t be the same guys.

    Doug, Lawrence O’Donnell has a new list if 17 Dems for you to add to the Blue America list. Congresscritters targeted by Sarah Palin. And by targeted I mean actuall gun sites on their districts. Los of eliminationist rhetoric too.

    I think the RNCC and Fox just need to make the cocoon tighter and tighter. It’s working so well for them now.

    @General Egali Tarian Stuck:

    Those maroons have me confused…they whine in there about unconstitutional laws yet they LOVE torture (against the constitution), never raised their fists to Bush’s patriot act (against the constitution), allowed banks and corporations to be de-regulated when the founding fathers clearly laid out that corporations serve the common GOOD along with making a profit.

    These buffoons forget that when a corporation was granted a charter, part of the fucking deal was to also serve the public need.

    Idiots. They really have no idea that this country was founded as a liberal democracy. Oh yes, lib-er-al. Shame on me for using that word.

    Fucking maroons. Come shoot at me assholes. I have two words for you…Aryan Nations. Yep, that’s right. The laws still exist that I can PROSECUTE and SUE your poor idiotic asses.

    Yep, fuck off.

    3% was the militia groups in the 80s. They tried and failed. America will not tolerate violence. Some poster on that site demanded info on family members (children!). What would they do with that? Terrorize children? I bet they are all pro-life.

    Yep, we live in a society that still has fucking property rights, still has freedoms and last I checked the right to say stupid shit.

    Shoot, if these buffoons were serious they’d be mad at police departments for constantly violating many constitutional rights.

    But…but…but they won’t back an inch right? Pussies. It’s so easy to act like a tough guy on the net. I once fought skin heads at a far right wing rally because I couldn’t take their bullshit anymore. They have a right to be idiotic, but they DO NOT have a right to threaten people.

    @demo woman: Bwah! I’m guessing said commenter doesn’t realize President Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago (a pretty decent educational institution, BTW) from 1992 to 2004. I think he kind of understands the document.

    Good lard. And the NBC Nightly News had a feature on this Oklahoma couple that wasn’t happy about the new HCR legislation. They had all the GOP talking points (rammed through, it was only politics, process wasn’t transparent). And Janet Shamblian, the lame correspondent, did not once ask, “What exactly do you not agree with in the bill?”

    Jeezus.

    Since Hannity will probably let them keep 1/2 mil of it, and skim the rest, I’d say they can probably make out all right without him.

    As they say in small towns, “isn’t that nice.” So I’d like to ask the correspondent and segment producer, SO?

    Who cares what these idiots think? If they aren’t going to look at both sides of the issue and try selling Limpbaugh talking points as a legit reason for why this bill is wrong, fuck em.

    Sour grapes, too bad so sad, and any other analogy I can throw out there. If they hate it so much without truly UNDERSTANDING the pros and cons of the bill, leave. It’s not hard. I am sure they aren’t millionaires so the government won’t tax them all that bad when they do go.

    They told us all for YEARS to “leave” if we didn’t like their idea of change when Bush was installed. Well….same can be said here. Good bye whiners.

    it would not have mattered, they would have said “everything! the lack of transparency…” etc etc wash, rinse and repeat. Once these people get an idea into their head the only way to fucking get it out of their head is if they got into a bad way. Even then it probably wouldn’t matter. It would have affect their child or something..something that invokes their protective spirit. *shrug* (not that I’m advocating anything to happen.. god forbid.. nobody should get into a healthcare situation, that’s why I’m for this bill)

    As did Biden, as well.

    Really, both of them Know The Constitution inside and out. The folks posting to this blog linked to, however — I’d wager most of them haven’t even read the Federalist Papers, for fuck’s sake.

    Won’t they be surprised when they get Hannity’s bill?

    They’ve spent all this time comparing Obama to Hitler then set up a Kristallnacht of their own.

    (German pronunciation: [kʁɪsˈtalˌnaxt]; literally “Crystal Night”) or the Night of Broken Glass was an anti-Jewish pogrom in Nazi Germany and Austria on 9 to 10 November 1938.

    Thinking on this dominance of the GOP by Fox- I think it says less about the strength of Fox than the weakness of the GOP.

    Who is the GOP Obama- that is, the one who can not only excite the base but win the swing indepedents?

    This is the result of riding the Teabagger tiger- all the Scozzafavas have bee replaced with Browns.

    So go ahead and spend 7M on DeMint- the problem is not that they have too little tv time, but too much, and not one likes what they saw.

    Not to make light of this , because this is just awful and hateful, and including all AZ dems in tough districts is frustrating (giffords is my rep and her office has already been vandalized by nutjob cowards–but she is on the BJ list!)

    but… The map is odd, at least for AZ, because it looks like she is just really, really angry at the Grand Canyon.

    @Woodrow “asim” Jarvis Hill:

    This is what makes Obama’s nefarious plot all the more insidious; because he taught Constitutional law, Obama knows how to make his evil soshulist dictates and fiats appear constitutional to the uninformed observer. Only those who have special decoder rings acquired through multiple purchases of Survival Seeds (send in 5 UPCs and you can get yours too!) are aware of the true extent of the infestation of those damned pinko-commie Reds and their Muslim terrorist friends.

    The rest of us will just have to wait for the Dan Brown novel…

    @calliope jane: She’s just honing in on the highest concentration of liberals in the state. The vote for Obama was something like 86 percent in the Grand Canyon National Park community (they also supported gay marriage by the same margin).

    As a bonus, she’s got all those darkish folks on the reservations in her crosshairs too.
