I know for sure that Obama's speech on health care was good because Rush Limbaugh thought it was "disgusting, reprehensible, embarrassing, petulant, divisive and crude."

Rep. Wilson is not some civilian who shouted his dissent at a truck stop rally. He was in a holy place which is the political equivalent of a church or a temple.

Conservatives bathed in daily lies -- from WMDs to "death panels" -- have become so comfortable spreading them that they treat it like good, clean fun for the whole family.

I apologize for a prior inadvertent misstatement in the piece below that Fox News had not carried the president's health-care reform speech Wednesday ...

Beck, Hannity and crew are clearly and deliberately out to take down Obama any way they can, in part by railing on his "czars." Van Jones was a hatchet job to undermine the president.

Michelle Malkin: Why didn't Obama save every child from drowning? Why just one? This myopia stems from his old, outdated liberal-elitist sensibility.

Rev. Watkins, what you and your ilk are doing is the antithesis of Christianity and Christ's teachings.

New McCarthyists conjure "socialism," "communism," "marxism," and other "shocking labels" to drum up hate-mongering.

Apparently in addition to being a socialist, a terrorist, a Kenyan, a Nazi, a granny killer, and like Hitler -- Obama is not even really our president. The whole thing was just a big liberal lie.

While it's the right wing that now seems to have a penchant for seeing Nazi ghosts, the left has often been just as guilty.

It's time for all of us to stop trying to get the opposition to realize how wrong they are and how right we are. Stop trying to apply reason to the profoundly unreasonable. Enough is enough.

A.G. Holder's appointment of John Durham to investigate this sordid episode should be only the first step in a wholesale reevaluation of American national security priorities in the post-9-11 world.

If you haven't seen them, some clever folks started showing up at these town hall protests with faux signs that make light of these Fox-fed people ranting and raving about Nazis and whatnot.

What we now see on cable TV is nothing resembling news. The entertainers who pose as newsmen now routinely spew lies, distortions, and biased opinions or provide a platforms of legitimacy to the sociopaths who do.

Michele Malkin is right. The teabaggers, the town hall protesters -- these people aren't un-American. They're uneducated, ignorant, and uninformed... and that's completely American.

If you grew up during the cold war like I did, you probably remember being told how lucky we were to not live in the Soviet Union because their media misled the population. I'm just sayin'...

Why should I care if the guy from Montana who questioned Obama is a proud member of the NRA? Why? Is the NRA going to pay his medical bills when his gun accidentally goes off?

We need a third political movement in this country -- not today's ideological right or left, who pander to idiots, but a group of radical centrists who step past their initial ignorance, fear, and prejudice, and actually think through solutions to our problems, borrowing ideas from all sides.

Can anyone tell me of any wall to wall on-site coverage of peace movement events over the past six years where the corporate press offered extensive air-time to listen to progressive leaders? I don't recall that ever happening. Do you?
