Thomas de Zengotita | Posted May 15, 2008 | Media


Thomas de Zengotita

Well, this might have been his finest hour. Chris Matthews I mean, confronting Kevin James in the presence of Mark Green on tonight's Hardball. The topic: what it means to compare appeasement, meaning Nazis and Neville Chamberlain in 1938-39 -- that exhausted neo-con trope -- to our current situation...

In recent months, weeks and days the American people have been programmed by the MSM to anticipate a...

Obama-Hillary Dream Team Sounds More Like A Nightmare

Robert Guttman | Posted May 15, 2008 | Politics


Robert Guttman

Forget the so-called dream team scenario. It will not work. There are hundreds of very capable vice-presidential candidates waiting to be picked who are not named Hillary Clinton.

Senator Clinton has shown she is tenacious and persistent. She has shown she has spunk but enough already. Let's move on. The...

Change, Hope... and Money!

Steven Weber

Every passing minute reveals why the country needs an Obama presidency. When another boneheaded utterance issues forth from George Bush's oil sucking lips, with Hillary's Willie Horton moments in West Virginia (And beyond. You'll see.), the pressure is on for the American people to finally truly opt for a positive,...

Hell's Belles! NARAL Enrages The Clinton-Or-Die Contingent

Linda Hansen | Posted May 15, 2008 | Off The Bus


Linda Hansen

NARAL, just because you're officially Pro-Choice America doesn't mean you have one. A choice, that is. Just because you've served as a powerful voice for the reproductive rights of American women for forty years doesn't mean you deserve a little respect from your membership. Or that, just maybe, you know...

HuffingtonPost.com   |  Jason Linkins   |   May 15, 2008 01:12 PM


One of the things that gets lost in the way the media dissects the electorate into their most bitter and disaffected distillations is that the vast majority of Democratic voters think that being left with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton...

Julian E. Zelizer

Yesterday John Edwards announced his support for Barack Obama. The endorsement arrived at a good time for Obama since the inevitable nominee was badly defeated in West Virginia. The defeat did not alter the delegate count or his chances for victory. It did once again raise the underlying concerns that...

Facing Racism in America

Matthew Palevsky | Posted May 15, 2008 | Politics


Matthew Palevsky

While covering the primary in West Virginia, I encountered pervasive racism only hinted at by Tuesday's exit polls and the pundits who wonder aloud if America is ready for a black president. What I heard on Tuesday was shocking. It depicts the blind prejudice that still possesses pockets of America...

Bob Burnett

In his 1989 opus, Bob Dylan wrote

Broken lines, broken strings,
Broken threads, broken springs,
Broken idols, broken heads,
People sleeping in broken beds.
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken.

At the time, Dylan was referring to...
