Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

He really is that stupid.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

“Alexa, change the president.”

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Most of the attempts to discredit the Swift Boat Veterans for Truths usually include something like this:

John O’Neill is a right wing whacko who can not be trusted.

This is not just John O’Neill:

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has more than 250 members, many of whom were wounded or highly decorated in Vietnam.
We purchased with our blood and service the right to be heard, to set the record straight about our unit, and to tell the truth about John Kerry’s military service record.

We respect Senator McCain’s right to express his opinion and we hope he extends to us the same respect and courtesy, particularly since we served with John Kerry, we knew him well and Senator McCain did not.

— Rear Admiral Roy Hoffmann (ret.), Founder and Chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth

    So, Org. answer this simple question –

    Are the men lying? If yes, please provide adequate proof. If no, ’nuff said. If maybe, then link to the facts they have wrong.

    See, it’s easy when you take off blinders!

    bear, the (one each)

    Sounds like RAdm Hoffmann opened up a fresh can of STFU and handed it to McCain. Good for him!

    So the idea here is that these Vets are so dumb to have aligned themselves with a Nixon operative and a racist kook? Or that they just aren’t credible?

    Nixonian? Which candidate has the “secret plan to end the war” again? Of course, Tacitus pretty well explained the secret: run like a stripe-assed ape!

    Are they stupid enough to align themselves with a discredited confessed liar who takes Soros’ money to run a blog that Paul Krugman pimps?

    “Nixon operative.” Oooohhh, now I’m properly scared of David Gergen.

    Oliver, your Krytonite is depleted.

    Cordially…

    P.S. Do you align yourself with Sen. Robert Byrd as a matter of convenience? Or Al Sharpton?
