Sarah Palin Facebook Page Deleting Negative Comments About Giffords Shooting
By Elliot Olshansky - AOL NewsAs debate continues to swirl about Sarah Palin's influence on Jared Lee Loughner, the young man accused of killing six people at an event for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords on Saturday, one place where the debate is not welcome is on the former Alaska governor's Facebook page. A post at Obama London, a blog of "Barack Obama supporters in the U.K," chronicles the deletion of comments from Palin's Facebook page since the former Alaska governor was first criticized for the Giffords shooting by Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas on Saturday afternoon. Palin and her staff are known for ...
Opinion: So Who's Holding the Unemployed Hostage Now?
By John Merline - AOL News
(Dec. 10) -- With Democrats threatening to block the Obama/Republican compromise on Bush-era tax cuts, does that mean they're the ones now holding the unemployed hostage until they get their way? That was, after all, the charge Democrats and others had often lodged against Republicans. Examples: Earlier this month, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said: "We could take a major step toward fixing our economy today if Republicans stopped holding the Senate hostage to more tax giveaways for millionaires." Last month, the liberal Daily Kos complained that the GOP was "holding 2 million ...
Ad Tells Women: Freshen Up Below for Career Advancement
By Larry Knowles - AOL News(Aug. 27) -- Career women, take note: If you want to get that big raise, make sure you freshen up down below. That's the message, anyway, in a new print ad from feminine care products brand Summer's Eve. The ad, which appears in the October issue of Woman's Day, gives eight tips for women who hope to get a salary bump at work. The first tip, under the subhead "How to Ask for a Raise," includes this kernel of advice: "It should start with your usual routine ... including showering with Summer's Eve Feminine Wash or throwing a packet of Summer's Eve Feminine Cleansing Cloths into your bag for ...
Tea Party Haunting This Year's Netroots Convention
By Steve Friess - AOL NewsLAS VEGAS (July 23) -- Reports of their demise have been greatly exaggerated. Or so insist left-wing activists gathered here to buck themselves up amid President Barack Obama's sinking approval ratings, a flailing economic recovery and conventional wisdom -- not to mention historic patterns -- that points to heavy Democratic losses in this fall's midterm elections. Pshaw, say many of the 2,000 or so attending the fifth annual Netroots Nation conference, and that's likely what they'll be telling a parade of bold-faced Beltway names appearing here over the weekend, including House Speaker Nancy ...

Poll of Republicans Met With Shock, Skepticism
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Feb. 3) -- Most Republicans think Barack Obama is a socialist and Sarah Palin is more qualified than him to be president. Most either think Obama wasn't born in the U.S. or aren't sure. Nearly 40 percent want him impeached. Those are a few of the results in a Daily Kos poll that's shaking up the blogosphere. The liberal Web site commissioned Research 2000 to survey more than 2,000 self-identified Republicans last month. Site founder Markos Moulitsas -- the "Kos" in Daily Kos -- called the results "nothing short of startling." A few more nuggets from the poll: 21 percent believe the ...
Democratic Civil Wars Likely as Left Weighs Primary Challenges Over Health
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyDemocrats are having fun highlighting the "civil war" within the Republican Party, but their schadenfreude may be short-lived. Conservative and moderate Democrats are failing one liberal litmus test after another, stoking not just frustration on the left but also potential primary challenges. The list of those tests starts with the public option, a proposed government-sponsored health insurance plan that appears to be losing ground on Capitol Hill despite continued popularity in opinion polls. And that's just the beginning. As filing deadlines approach, particularly for later primaries, ...
Obama Turns to Bloggers to Pass Health Care
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyWith many Democrats becoming squeamish about attempts to pass a health care bill before the August recess, President Obama and his chief adviser, David Axelrod, hosted a conference call (audio here) Monday with several prominent liberal bloggers. Their message was clear: Pressure nervous Democrats into passing something now. Obama isn't up for reelection until 2012, but many Democrats have to face voters next year. As such, they are understandably nervous about passing such sweeping legislation -- which will likely involve increasing the deficit, as well as tax increases for some Americans ...
Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly Among Early Scapegoats for Tiller Murder
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIt didn't take long. The blogosphere, and the more immediate (and arguably more important) Twittersphere are abuzz with finger-pointing in the hours-ago murder of Dr. George Tiller. On Twitter, Daily Kos' Markos Moulitsas was characterisically subtle with his summation:Who'll be the next target of O'Reilly's and Beck's ire to get gunned down by domestic conservative terrorist?As I pointed out earlier, Bill O'Reilly has already been singled out, and Ann Coulter was the next to be teed up: ...
