We’re no great fans of Nancy Pelosi either. But some of the comments to Pelosi geting choked up over remembering the murders of San Franisco Liberal Mayor George Moscone, and Gay Council Member Harvey Milk, and illustrate just how wide the gap is in online partisanship — which often brings out the most partisan, one sided, often misinformation and belief [...]

The World in Black and White (Semi Alice in Wonderland View)
Posted: 17th September 2009 by admin in UncategorizedTh entertaining quote just below, is filled with all sorts of misleading and very, well, either manipulative, or simply uniformed, spin — which is of course what the far right does best. As well as of course break things down into Black and White, even if that Black and White has little to do with [...]
“With This kind of Inflammatory Rhetoric, They are Quite Simply Tearing the Country Apart”.
Posted: 16th September 2009 by admin in UncategorizedAnd who is it that this conservative writer is speaking of?
It unnerved me, though, to think that that kindly old man had once fallen under the sway of race hatred to that degree, a race hatred that was part of the society into which he was born and raised. It still does, because that world [...]

Posted: 16th September 2009 by admin in UncategorizedWorld Bank spends billions on coal-fired power stations
The World Bank is spending billions of pounds subsidising new coal-fired power stations in developing countries despite claiming that burning fossil fuels exposes the poor to catastrophic climate change. The bank, which has a goal of reducing poverty and is funded by Britain and other developed countries, calls [...]
It’s the 1950’s, in Washington Post World.

Several months ago, the Washington Post brought us a strange and somewhat disturbing rant against an alleged ”obnoxious misuse of freedom.” Such misuse consisting not of the Post’s election to publish this drivel from Will, but the actual choice by an individual to wear blue jeans — of which Will, in what has clearly been an edited, watered down [...]
We don’t like to often get into or foment issues of racism, for the most part. Besides, if there is any racism going on, it is likely against Gay Fish.
But is it really likely that racism played somewhat of a role in Rep. Joe Wilson’s “You Lie” outburst against the President the other day?
It’s hard to [...]
Baltimore Sun Critic David Zurawik wrote a relatively dull, typical, non substantive, “gotcha” piece on Barack Obama’s “60 Minutes” Interview, Sunday, September 13. In it, he made some fairly lame football analogies; perhaps because it was NFL Football opening Sunday. Zurawik called out 60 Minutes’ Steve Kroft for enabling Obama to make a point about promoting civility, without [...]
Glenn Beck Half Correct: President Obama is Prejudiced After All — Hates Gay Fish

Delusionally paraonid, and insane (but popular) anti news pundit Glenn Beck, famously called the President a racist, and said that he “hates White people.”
Opponents of Beck have made a big deal out of this. Why is beyond us. Sure, it’s far from the greatest statement. But the fact is, it’s subjective. It seems preposterous, but still, it’s an [...]
The Washington Post Gives Kerry Props — Five Years Too Late

Today, a Washington Post editorial notes:
FIVE YEARS AGO, Sen. John F. Kerry argued during his presidential campaign that the United States had dangerously neglected the war in Afghanistan.
Too bad Kerry did not get that coverage in 2004, when instead he was repeatedly, and mistakenly, derided in the Post as a flip flopper on Iraq, and [...]
