A “Community Spotlight” article today at Daily Kos claims that the Right is on the march toward “plutocracy”, an imaginary conservative ‘monster’ made up out of whole cloth. Blatant falsehoods such as this are Daily Kos specialties as today’s example demonstrates.
Discussing perceived political angles to tragedies, especially as they’re happening, is always touchy. Even if there is a valid policy observation to be made, you’re opening yourself up to ready-made accusations of insensitivity, partisanship, and opportunism. So it should come as little surprise that the leftist smear merchants at Media Matters are raking Sean Hannity over the coals for a “five-minute Obama-bashing session” during his coverage of the disaster in Japan.
There are bad analogies, and then there are bad analogies. Millionaire Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, also known as “Purple Jesus,” would like you to know that he’s a slave, and The Man is holding him down.
If it’s a day ending in “y,” that means it’s time for more crappy political advice from the Daily Beast’s Peter Beinart. Beinart’s kind of a one-trick pony on the subject—I’ve noted before how, no matter the situation, he advises Republicans not to govern like conservatives lest they face certain electoral doom (the right electoral strategy, coincidentally, happens to be to govern exactly like Peter Beinart would).
Some people just have no sense of irony.
Apparently, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is one of them. Monday night, the broadcaster most known for having Tammy Faye Bakker eyes, twice used “black eye” as a metaphor.
Shep basically lost control while arguing with Congressman Peter King about the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and whether it [...]
