Democrats 'Fail' FAIL
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyWhat's in a word?Whether through deliberate denseness for political point-scoring, or through genuine failure of linguistic understanding, Democrats seem to be having real trouble with the word fail. But the word fail must be defended; or more particularly its usage; or more specifically its recent usage by Rush Limbaugh, which is thematically emblematic of its usance in politics et al.Understand that I'm not indulging my admitted logolepsy here, and I don't think I'm engaging in ergoism, but being deliberately solecistic is an effrontery to discourse that must of occasion be countervailed ...
Olbermann and Garofalo: Michael Steele Has Stockholm Syndrome
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyKinda racist? Kinda? The full clip of Olbermann and Garofalo is literally disgusting. You can see the full clip below the fold if you dare. "Enjoy". (h/t Olbermann Watch) ...
Olbermann and TPMMuckraker Smear Bobby Jindal
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyI have a question for you. What happens when you decide to run with a story cooked up by DailyKos bloggers and then don't do any original reporting or, you know, fact-checking? I'll tell you who could answer it for you: Keith Olbermann. And by answer it, I mean totally not answer it since, when you call, they pretend nobody is around and dodge your questions. "Oh, Producer X isn't here after all, my bad. I must have been seeing a mirage earlier when I said he had stepped away from his desk."The TPMMuckraker blog has been sanctimoniously blasting Bobby Jindal since he delivered the Republican ...
Political Cartoonists Afraid To Draw Obama
By Caleb Howe - Politics Daily"Without a doubt, people are stepping more gingerly. People are tiptoeing their way through this." - Ted Rall, liberal editorial cartoonist. Last week's firestorm over an editorial cartoon at the New York Post is still burning it's way through the media and the blogosphere, and in the wake of Eric Holder's declaration that Americans (read: white Americans) are cowards and James Clyburn's claim that rejection of stimulus funds is motivated by racism, the reactions are naturally mixed and sometimes contentious. Reverend Al Sharpton, for example, is demanding investigations and protests. MSNBC is ...
No, THIS Is What A Police State Looks Like
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyRemember when protest signs were cool? Dissent is the highest form of ... Secret Service bait? In Oklahoma City, police pulled over Chip Harrison because of an anti-Obama sign in his car window. The sign read: "Abort Obama, not the unborn." Police confiscated the sign, opened an investigation of Harrison, and eventually sicced the Secret Service on him. Now Harrison is considering whether or not to file a complaint. Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police car followed him for several miles and then signaled for him to pull over. ''I pulled over, knowing I hadn't done anything ...
Frank Schaeffer: Purge The Heretics
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyOriginally written for Redstate.comMuch was made, during storied campaign 2008, of the notion that we are all one people, needlessly divided. That from the many would come the one. There is not a liberal America, and a conservative America, there is the United States of America, after all. Heal this nation, we heard. Make us one, they pleaded. A lovely sentimentality, that. And an utterly false affectation, of course, as we've come to see over the last few weeks. Despite left-wing bloggers' Ministry of Truth efforts at rewriting history, to even the most casual observer it should be clear that ...
GOP War On Obama? No, Dems Fiddling While Rome Burns
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyTheoretical political commentator and part time trigger* moonbat Andrew Sullivan daily dishes his warped reality upon the blogosphere with the vaguely identifiable impersonation of a journalist to continued, inexplicable notoriety. Yesterday in a post titled "Gregg Was Pwned," in which he posited that Judd Gregg's hand was forced by a Republican policy of "total warfare" on Sullivan's precious, he dropped this gem:I have to say even I am a little taken aback by the force of the Republican assault. Even in a downturn as swift and alarming as this one, even after an election that clearly favored ...
Facebook Pulls Anti-Stimulus Ad For Hate Speech?
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyThis morning, CNS News reported that Facebook had pulled an ad for the anti-stimulus website NoStimulus.com, citing rules against profanity, extremism, and hate speech. Phil Kerpen, national policy director for the group which paid for the ad, explained what reasoning Facebook had provided for their decision.Kerpen said Facebook told Americans for Prosperity that the ad violated two of its advertising rules – Rules 8 and 9. Rule 8 says that ads may not "contain, facilitate or promote "adult" content or content that is "offensive, profane, vulgar, obscene or inappropriate" or ...
Do Americans Prefer Ayers and Wright to Limbaugh?
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyDo Americans Prefer Ayers and Wright to Limbaugh? That's what Max Blumenthal said at the Daily Beast last week, much to the enduring joy and schadenfreude of the online left. The story made the rounds among the online left, including Media Matters, Alternet, Andrew Sullivan, and even Political Machine, not to mention hundreds of other smaller leftblogs. Daily Beast included it in their morning mass email. It's just exactly the sort of thing a left-blogger loves to hear: not only were Republicans idiots for asking about Ayers, and losers for listening to Limbaugh, but they are lonely outsiders. ...
