Death Panels: Follow The Money

by Propagandee August 12, 2009

Okay, last straw. Fuck Chuck Grassley and the slug he rode in on. (That goes for DINO Senator Claire McKaskill too, who just appeared on Hardball excusing his sorry ass.)
Whatever reason President Obama might have had for allowing this guy to hold health care reform hostage via his position on the Senate Finance Committee just [...]

Whatever It Is They’re Against It

“Horsefeathers” to become new Rethuglican campaign ad

Any doubt that the Rethuglicans are bereft of ideas and have instead adopted a strategy of just say no to everything President Obama has been put to rest over the last week. As Greg Sargent at his Plumline blog puts it:
On Friday, GOP Senator Jim DeMint told a [...]

The Empire Strikes Back

by Propagandee July 20, 2009

The Medical Mafia’s first salvo in the present health care reform war came in the form of an ad run by CRC Public Relations, the group that ran the Swift Boat ads, for a group that calls itself Conservatives for Patients’ Rights. CPR is led by Medicare fruadster Rick Scott, the founder of the [...]

Obama Healthcare Ad Targets Reluctant Dems (UPDATE)

by Propagandee July 18, 2009

Part of the full-court press that President Obama is mounting for health care reform involves ads aimed at conservative Dems in various districts. (Whoda thunk that “bipartisanship” with the Just Say No Rethuglicans was a fool’s errand to begin with?)
Harry Reid might not like it, but WGAF.
UPDATE:
The labor union AFSCME and one of the [...]

Fighting The Banksters

by Propagandee July 16, 2009

Bob Herbert in his column Monday in The NY Times asks:
What is up with the banks and the rest of the financial industry? The people running this system remind me of gangsters who manage to walk out of the courthouse with a suspended sentence and can’t wait to get back to their nefarious activities.
These [...]

Sean’s Latest Buttload

by Michael Hart July 12, 2009

]\Normally, it’s prudent to ignore Sean Hannity, an infantile little shit-stick who can look you in the eye and lie unblinking. But not today. This human shit bucket’s stock-in-trade is the intentional distortion of reality to fit his perverse and twisted notion of what it means to be an “American.”

Is Goldman Sachs Losing It?

by Propagandee July 11, 2009

Back in March, I wrote:
From the Wall Street/DC Axis of Evil, the Treasury Department– oh hell, let’s just call it what it is: a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs– will announce tomorrow its plan to further reward the very people who brought down the country’s financial system and by extension, the world’s.
Matt Taiibi has [...]

Frankenly Speaking

by Propagandee June 30, 2009

Well, Norm, the jokes on you

Just want to congratulate Al Franken not only for his hard won victory per today’s MN Supreme Court ruling; but for the political class he has showed during the whole sorry-ass, post-election ordeal. Hard to think of another US senator, let alone a rookie, who has been the target of [...]

This Week In Teh Crazy

by Propagandee June 27, 2009

When Michelle Bachmann is even too much for Glenn Beck
The leaderless Rethuglican Party has no shortage of members eager to grab headlines with ever more outrageous claims and demonizations of the Democrats and President Obama.
And I am not referring here to the kind of vitriol vomited out daily by the demented talking heads of professional [...]

Funambulist In Chief

by Propagandee June 25, 2009

President Obama’s balancing act
Despite receiving a thumbs up from a number of conservative foreign policy observers, and the public at large, for his handling of the current Iranian domestic turmoil, the wingers seem to have settled on a narrative that President Obama has been too timid in his response to same.
It was a theme dutifully [...]

The War On Empathy (Update 1)

by Propagandee May 31, 2009

Associated Press / Princeton University
Sonia Sotomayor in Princeton University’s 1976 Nassau Herald yearbook. She graduated summa cum laude in history that year.

Having failed in their previous wars—the war on terror, the war on drugs, the war on anything not right wing crazy, the Rethugs have launched a new one—the war on empathy. The rallying point [...]

Cheney Agrees To Star In Memento Remake

by Propagandee May 27, 2009

Dick Cheney reprising the role of Guy Pearce
So where are you?  You’re in some motel room underground bunker. You just – you just wake up and you’re in – in a motel room bunker. There’s the key. It feels like maybe it’s just the first time you’ve been there, but perhaps you’ve been there [...]

Crusaders R’ Us

by Propagandee May 20, 2009

Early on in the American occupation of Iraq, gruesome video of Americans being beheaded by their captors surfaced, fueling worldwide outrage against the perpetrators. A thousand years earlier, Christian crusaders, laying siege to fortified Muslim cities, used as missiles for their catapults the severed heads of Muslims.
