Republican Disaster -- The Evangelical/Zionist Anatomy of Meltdown
I was in bed with a group of people who were profoundly anti-American. They were professional haters; they "loved" an America that didn't exist.

Sociopaths tend to be unstable in more than one way. Can we really trust prosecutors, judges and juries to know which of a perpetrator's demons caused a dirty deed to be done?

Any gay student at Grandfield High School has been taught a dubious lesson. They have learned they better keep quiet until they are old enough to leave town.

Let's sit down with the right for tea. Let them vent their anger and hate - and we can vent ours. Let's listen to the fear that lies beneath the hate, to the reasons they're afraid.

If we are serious about protecting people from violence and crime simply because of their group identities, we must also take seriously their right to equality in the home, workplace, and school.

While our youth silently protest violent homophobia, I implore you to take a moments to ask the tough questions: "Where in my own life do I harbor hatred, fear, anger, and what steps can I take to begin to resolve it?"

Psychologists say that carrying hostility around can kill us. Wanting someone to rot in hell, we are told, does more damage to ourselves than to the objects of our anger. Healing comes from letting go of the hatred. Really?

The Republican Party is controlled by two ideological groups -- the Religious Right and neoconservatives. Both groups share one thing in common: they are driven by fear and paranoia.

Obama's call to service for Martin Luther King, Jr., Day was two weeks ago today. But to my generation, I'm afraid it may as well have been issued by Abe Lincoln. It's already history.

"To Obama": 1. to rise above personal assault for the greater good; 2. to take rivals, hold them close, and use their innumerable talents for service.

May I respectfully request that anyone who is truly spiritual, and who understands that all humans deserve love, begin to pray for the separation of church and hate?

Since election day, the number of threats against the president-elect, and racial or violent incidents directed at his supporters, have soared, and the Secret Service is concerned.

As the community grieves and seeks to blame whomever we felt did not support us enough, data interpretations may make it all too easy to generalize and stereotype on the road to blame.

Did the McCain campaign want to stir up the racial tensions in PA? Is there a race baiter on McCain's staff? Is this Willie Horton 2.0?

A brain tumor ended Atwater's career, but not before he developed several well-trained disciples who also mastered the art of political division.

McCain and his supporters have begun smearing Obama with a barrage of inflammatory robocalls and as despicable as McCain's tactics have become, there's something we can do about it.

During last night's presidential debate, McCain said he was "categorically" proud of the people who attend his rallies. He claimed he has always repudiated any "out of bounds remarks" made by Republicans.

Win or lose, John McCain has turned loose an ugly side of white America's fear of inclusion of minorities in positions of authority. It is a genie which will be nearly impossible to stuff back into the bottle.

Palin has been palling around with the most unsavory, unhinged crowd in America for the last 25 years. And this is the person Senator John McCain unleashed on the country.
Robert Greenwald | Posted 11.14.2008 | Politics
Things have gotten so out of control that some conservatives have come forward to denounce McCain and Palin's hate-mongering.
Ellis Weiner | Posted 11.10.2008 | Politics
With Palin we encounter the purest example, in our lifetime, of a candidate whose mere presence on a national ticket demeans and pollutes the very process.
