“The Great White Hope” controversy Racism and Republicans linked again. See video. Sheesh. It takes a lot of nerve for Stephen Atta had a meeting in Prague Hayes to call someone else on honesty, but that’s what he does to Greg Sargent, who has been in an amusing back and forth with Cheney’s hagiographer for a few [...] [...more]
Barack Obama in white face, reminiscent of the old minstrel shows. But everyone in LA is only seeing a Hollywood character.

Just imagine what would happen if Obama was a conservative and a liberal let fly with such vitriol. Watching Beck lean back, so comfortable on that couch. He gives the impression of a man on the rise with nothing to fear or to lose. That on Fox he’s found his place. One has to wonder [...] [...more]
–updated– I was extremely glad to see that Keith Olbermann had someone on to talk about the Holocaust Museum tragedy who wasn’t taking the moment to make a convoluted political statement about Israel and the Middle East, as Jack Levin did the night before. Here’s what Levin said: “But let me also point out that it’s [...] [...more]
The far bow of the wingnut tree didn’t waste much time in turning the Holocaust Museum shooting tragedy into a way to attack –wait for it– Obama and Muslims. Yessiree, folks, it’s a twofer for the cranks. I’ve been watching and waiting for this one and as I told some friends yesterday, the countdown began [...] [...more]

updated Let’s start with Juan Cole’s “McCain Racism, Hypocrisy on Khalidi Issue.” He gives an explanation that is continually ignored no matter how many people point it out. The rightwing American way of speaking about these issues is bizarre from a Middle Eastern point of view. Lots of real living Israelis have close ties [...] [...more]
Republicans are smearing the Democratic nominee? So what else is new? Well, the McCain team warned us they were going to start hitting. Bill Kristol backed them on it. So let the smearing begin.
