Camp Lejeune whistleblower fired

If you wonder why something like the Fort Hood shooting could happen, and why no one noticed the warning signs, look no further. Psychologists treating veterans with mental problems are strongly discouraged from noticing signs of danger, or warning about them.

Veterans and "suicide by cop"

This story is a couple of years old, but in light of the tragic events at Fort Hood, perhaps it bears another look, and some careful consideration.

Thank goodness for government run health care on Capitol Hill

About 20 minutes into yesterday's right-wing rally on the Hill in opposition to health care reform, one of the protestors suffered a heart attack. Fortunately, as Dana Milbank reported, medical professionals were able to respond quickly.

Huckabee used Fox News show to collect email addresses for his PAC, recruit volunteers for GOP-backed candidates

Will this finally convince some of you that Fox "News" is indeed an advocacy, and not a news organization? This would be considered an enormous breach of journalistic ethics and integrity for a news station that possessed either of those qualities.

A perpetual revulsion machine

Watch Jon Stewart's hilarious take-down of Fox "News," using their own claims about the difference between their news and opinion programming to demonstrate that they are not a news network.

When Fox News is the Story

This article was already seeded last summer, but it bears revisiting, in view of the wailing we've heard about the cruel victimization of innocent, helpless little Fox News by a White House that dared to call them on b***s***.

Don't be surprised that the Media Elite sided with Fox News

The Obama administration's basic charge against Fox News is undeniably true: The network functions as the propaganda wing of the Republican Party.

More Big Think from Petunia Fieno

What a grim and ominous autumn this has been! Obama is at a crossroads, approaching his Rubicon, and in danger of facing his Waterloo if he doesn't fire his entire staff, who are obviously giving him bad advice, and start listening to wise people like me.

Right falls for "thesis" hoax

Right-wing pundit Michael Ledeen published an item this week on Barack Obama's "college thesis," which Obama allegedly wrote as a student at Columbia 25 years ago. Leeden cited some website, which ran a piece in August. . .

Criticizing Fox isn't Nixonian. But Fox is.

To understand what is going on today, it is essential to remember that where Ailes came from, "Nixonian" was not an insult but a badge of honor -- and seething hatred and even persecution of the press, rather than mere criticism, was a way of life.

What "Controlling the Media" really means.

With hypocrisy that pervasive, who could ever hope to take note of all of it? Still, the complaints from America's Right -- and especially former Bush officials -- that the Obama administration is attempting to "control the media," all because the White House criticizes Fox News …

"Whose Country?" Andrew Sullivan on racial identity in America

Notice that for Buchanan in this column, it is axiomatic that America was once defined by its whiteness. This is what he means by "tradition." America - once uniformly white - is now, for him and those he speaks for, bewilderingly multicultural and multi-confessional.

"The President's Eternal Foil." WHO is it again who can't stop talking about Bush?

In his new column yesterday, National Review's Rich Lowry slams President Obama for investing too much time in condemning his predecessor. There are a few problems with the argument. . .

A Rumsfeld-era reminder of the causes of terrorism

In 2004, Donald Rumsfeld directed the Defense Science Board Task Force to review the impact which the administration's policies -- specifically the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- were having on Terrorism and Islamic radicalism.

Does the WashPost's Ruth Marcus even watch Fox News?

In a way, Marcus is simply parroting an age-old Beltway truism: When Democrats criticize the press it's whiny and petty, but when Republicans do it, it's savvy and brash. (Just ask veterans of the Clinton administration.)

"Johnny Iselin Lives!" Rachel Maddow on the CAIR-conspiracy hysterics

A breath of sanity amid the paranoia. CAIR is a lobbying group for American Muslims, and it does the same things that any lobbying group does, such as helping to place its members in internships with Congress, so as to give them a start on political careers.

Pushing back liberally

This is Bob Somerby's response to the pseudo-flap over the absolutely justified push-back from the Obama White House against Faux News. You need to scroll down to the second heading to find the part I'm talking about here.

DNC takes off the gloves

[T]he Democratic National Committee is taking off the gloves this morning.

Regina Holliday and the Art of Health Reform

If you want to get insights into the problems of our health care system . . . you should also look at a mural by Washington DC resident Regina Holliday. Holliday is a 37-year old mother of two and an art teacher.

Newsmax columnist: Military coup to resolve the "Obama Problem" is not "unrealistic."

Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars.

McCaughey manages to look even worse: major conflict of interest exposed

"McCaughey, of course, has been a leading conservative opponent of health care reform in 2009, frequently straying from the truth (and reality) to trash Democratic proposals. She's also known for playing a similarly destructive role in 1994 . . .

Working Class Zero: Why the "tea partiers" have a right to be mad, and why they're going after the wrong target

For average Americans, the last 10 years were a lost decade. At the end of President George W.

Dropping the pretense: Obama-haters use open race-baiting

mong some of President Obama's more despicable right-wing detractors, there has long been a racial element to their attacks. Generally, however, there's at least some subtlety to the race-baiting.

Were there 1.8 million in D.C.? Yes -- but not for the tea party event!

There are an astounding number of conservative bloggers running with this today, all of whom are telling their readers that Saturday's protest was the largest in D.C. history.
