It’s just that they’re so good at mainstreaming extreme positions and aberrations that they’ve effectively created a gaffe box elfish leftish pundits can spar against in their miserable scripts.
Well, somebody has to actually draw the strawmen. Thanks Politico!
A curious trend considering the legendary quality control institutionalized in non-union Japanese transplants couldn’t possibly have. Just. Stopped. Working.
It’s like they just started cranking out the lemons.
Some recent examples: Toyota’s Prius has crap headlights. Honda’s Insight sucks. But Obama’s people’s car Chevy’s Volt? It’s gonna kick both their asses.
Don’t think for a minute that the hard earned record of marketplace success enjoyed by Japanese automakers over the decades– witnessed by millions of objective consumers — is immune from the extraordinary influence of a political-media machine mostly concerned with propagating the worst kinds of marketplace manipulation in the name of “Change”.
KO’s recent unexplained absence might of had something to do with Ben Affleck.
What would be really cool is if we could get the media and the government to be in perfect sync. That would be awesome.
Jon Stewart is a schmuck.
They’re struggling, god bless ‘em. But it’s hard to win ratings when one of your star field correspondents confuses talking for listening in a news segment.
The curious case of 200 nearly identical mainstream media headlines.
Well, no myth can become real unless you can convince everyone that. . . . .it’s not a myth.
So now they’re giving George Will the cold shoulder for not towing the line. Because there can only be one take when discussing fragmented evidence.
Now THIS is change you can poll.
Before we scoff, let’s remember what’s important–the thought is that we need to hear what we want to hear from the TOTUS, and our hopes and dreams must be perfectly mirrored in a man that could very well be one of us (that is, if each of us was a long-march redistributionist). Polling is the answer, by george, and your tax dollars are paying for it. It creates a triangle of unassailable “truths” between the polled, the TOTUS, and teh BHO that, the White House believes, are beyond even logical debate. It’s, like, harmonic or something.
Kaus reveals a typical JournoList thread and will likely incur the femine wrath of so, so many CAP zealots.
Making truth detectors blow up everywhere with curious statistical presumptions.
The “free-range arugula” of compassionate conservative prose.
What kind of suck ass crap is this? Didn’t we already send the same message in 2000?
I am waiting for the moment, conceivably in 2011, when we can point to this video as some kind of evidence of thawed detente between our two nations.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wants to start calling acts of terrorism “man-caused disasters” in order to move away from the “politics of fear”, or whatever the fuck that is.
Janet, honey, the terrorists don’t SPEAK english and likely wouldn’t understand such PC nuance anyway. In fact, if they whiff anything from such a vacuous shift it is likely dithering resolve.
But as long as you feel better.
It’s come to this.
And they’re writing new gospels every time the news cycle permits.
I guess this explains why it’s difficult– if not impossible–to have an honest debate with an “informed” liberal who will never fess up to how he may have been wrong on a position in the past. It’s likely that the original thought he championed wasn’t exactly his, and thus could be easily discarded when the situation warranted.
It’s easy, and guilt-free!
The White House happily admits of a coordinated campaign to discredit their critics. Not on the merits of any particular argument, mind you, but on polling. In any other time, with any other President and circumstance, this would amount to a shocking revelation with dangerous consequences to civil liberties.
Remember all that talk from Democrats about the “politics of personal destruction”? It was all bullshit.
What sort of arrogant fascism is going on here? We’ve long expected organized whisper campaigns were afoot, but for one to be actually celebrated in a major media outlet like Politico is more than unsettling. They would not pursue this kind of “clear the decks” tactic unless their shock polls didn’t suggest some problems with their big picture. I’m not suggesting that the White House can’t exploit the weaknesses of its ideological enemies, but when has a President ever unashamedly unleashed the state and its affiliated media on a single private citizen who’s only crimes are 1) he has a different opinion than liberals and 2) he polls unfavorably with liberals?
When did the Bush administration launch a five prong attack to silence Michael Moore?
So here is a list of sniveling fascists that start every morning with a conference call with the White House to coordinate their daily attacks:
Are they going to try to smear you too?
Lindsay Lohan Fights With Girlfriend In First Hour of Valentine’s Day.
The Bad: Six years on and, sadly, there’s still much to be learned about objective reporting. At least one intrepid marxist reporter “gets it.”
A prominent Orchard Park, NY, man – founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, a broadcasting effort intended to help portray Muslims in a “more positive light” –beheads his wife.
So, yeah, it’s all about the ‘accountability’ of media ownership isn’t it? And us dummies thought it was just an attempt to muzzle freedom of expression.
Senator Stabenow (D-MI), talk radio didn’t drive the once great state of Michigan into the deepest of dark holes. But it’s plausible to say you did.
Will we see this headline, since public support for the stimulus has dropped to the level of support seen by the War in Iraq?
Here’s to Hope!
Just kinda curious why this should have been announced, especially since Obama has very recently stated “There will be time for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses. “Now’s not that time.”
Perhaps they can deflect some potential criticism of the book deal by changing the purported theme of the book from Plouffe’s recollection of the two-year-long campaign to a detailed account of how dozens of front organizations and foundations–all funded partially or entirely by George (“Daddy Kennedy”) Soros–were able to convince a majority of American voters to place their bets on somebody with zero relevant executive experience.
A small glitch threw Google users for a loop Saturday morning. Kinda like the Google-Bomb glitch that only took eleven days to rectify after nearly four years of “earnest” fixes.
When shall we call for Google to be regulated like the utility it is?
