‘Anonymous’ Targets The Brothers Koch, Claiming Attempts ‘To Usurp American Democracy’ Post Date: 2011-02-27 16:20:12 by Brian S
20 Comments
The decentralized protest group "Anonymous" has a new target: no, it's not a middle eastern dictator, a major bank or even a bit player in the military-industrial complex. It's none other than tea party financiers Charles and David Koch, who were being targeted, an open letter stated, for their attempts "to usurp American Democracy." "Koch Industries, and oligarchs like them, have most recently started to manipulate the political agenda in Wisconsin," an announcement posted to anonnews.org declared. "Governor Walker's union-busting budget plan contains a clause that went nearly un-noticed. This clause would allow the sale of publicly owned ...
Top Neocon Faults Obama for Not Showing "Loyalty" to Israel Post Date: 2011-02-26 19:32:14 by Brian S
27 Comments
It has been a week since the United States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution opposing Israeli settlements. You can't help but wonder if the Obama administration is now having second thoughts. Forget the policy ramifications of the veto: that it badly damaged America's chances of facilitating negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians and that it further alienated the United States from the Arab and Muslim world at a critical moment in history. Lay aside that the veto cut the Israeli peace camp off at the knees while vindicating Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's policy of never giving an inch to the Palestinians (or to the Americans). And, obviously, don't even ...

WHY MEN DIE FIRST - This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries...... but, now we know. If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race...you're a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework...you're a pansy. If you work too hard...there's never any time for her. If you don't work enough...you're a good-for-nothing bum. If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay...this is exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay..... you should get off your lazy behind and find something better. If you get a promotion ahead of her.....that is favoritism.

CBS & Warner Bros Pull The Plug: But Have We Seen The Last Of 'Two And A Half Men'? Post Date: 2011-02-24 22:25:15 by A K A Stone

UPDATED: As Two And A Half Men star Charlie Sheen's erratic behavior escalated today in a series of verbal assaults on the show's creator-executive producer Chuck Lorre, the sitcom's network and studio did the only thing they could in the situation: pull the plug. But they only did it for this season. (Two and a Half Men was scheduled to resume production on Monday for 4 more episodes). So the door is left open for a possible ninth season. "Based on the totality of Charlie Sheens statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros TV have decided to discontinue production of Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season," the two companies said in a ...
Shocker: Tea Partiers More Evangelical, Socially Conservative Post Date: 2011-02-24 16:59:39 by Brian S

The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life is out with a new poll and analysis that concludes that Tea Partiers are more conservative on abortion and same sex marriage than even Republicans, and that evangelicals are more likely than other religious groups to identify with the Tea Party. For at least a year, I've been arguing that claims that the Tea Party doesn't care about "social issues" or that its adherents aren't religious are bunk. The Pew poll demonstrates the role of religion and social conservatism in the Tea Party movement and builds on the work of the Public Religion Research Institute, which did long-needed, groundbreaking work on the subject last fall. ...
Six Amazing Gems That Were Revealed In An Sarah Palin's Ex-Aide's Leaked Manuscript Post Date: 2011-02-24 16:24:57 by Brian S

From fissures in the Palin marriage ("We don't talk") to giggles over a doctored nude photo and the governor in an open bathrobe, Shushannah Walshe unearths more gems from the ex-Sarah Palin aide's leaked manuscript. Plus, more tidbits about Bristol, Troopergate, and other Palin scoops. The scathing manuscript draft of former Sarah Palin aide Frank Bailey's In Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years, leaked to The Daily Beast, spares not a single embarrassing email or angry campaign trail moment. Among more juicy allegations in the book, which is filled with catty asides, including a description of Palin's skin as being "tanning-bed ...
‘Use Live Ammunition’ Against Wisconsin Protesters, Indiana Official Says Post Date: 2011-02-23 11:47:13 by Brian S

One official in Indiana suggested over the weekend that riot police should use deadly force on those protesting Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker's plan to strip unions of their rights. A Saturday tweet from Mother Jones reported on the likelihood that police would soon be clearing the Wisconsin Capitol building of demonstrators. "Use live ammunition," a Twitter user named JCCentCom replied. When confronted, the Twitter user stood by his words, insisting that the protesters were "political enemies" and "thugs." "[A]gainst thugs physically threatening legally-elected state legislators & governor? You're damn right I advocate deadly ...

Wisconsin's newly elected Republican Governor wasted no time in taking the fight to public sector unions, but union supporters in the alternative press have spared no expense firing back.

BIG pricetags too. Older and smaller homes are run down and will cost a fortune to fix. There's a ton of foreclosed homes and short sales - but most are in developments. I don't like the newer developments because they crowd huge homes on tiny bits of land, and if you stick your arm out the window, it's in your neighbors home. Not only that but they all have pools and centralized clubhouses, children's lots and other amenities that you have to pay for ...
Palin reality show receives $1.2 million in tax credits Post Date: 2011-02-21 19:34:33 by Skip Intro

Sarah Palins Alaska, the TLC reality show starring the former governor in her home state, will receive roughly $1.2 million in tax credits for filming in Alaska, the state says. Under a state subsidy created by the Legislature in 2008 and signed into law by Palin, Alaska allows film and TV producers to recover 30 percent or more of the money they spend on filming in the state. All told, the Palin show spent $3.6 million in Alaska, the state says. TV and movie-makers may not have tax liability in Alaska but they can sell the credits at a discount to corporations that do. The tax revenue would have otherwise gone into state coffers. Shows such as Deadliest ...

Tea Party Plans Wisc. Protest to Counter Unions Post Date: 2011-02-18 13:33:57 by Brian S
2 Comments
A prominent Tea Party group has announced that it will stage a counter-protest in Wisconsin on Saturday aimed at supporting a measure in that state to revoke public employee unions' collective bargaining rights and to force them to pay a slightly larger amount into their own health and pension plans. That measure sparked large protests in Madison Thursday by union groups, and a walkout by Democratic legislators in a successful effort to deny the State Senate a voting quorum. On Saturday, the Tea Party will answer with some protest muscle of its own. American Majority, a Tea Party group that trains political activists, will hold an event in Madison billed as a response to liberal union ...

Mary Elizabeth Williams said everything there is to say about the worst reactions to the sexual assault of CBS reporter Lara Logan shortly after it was reported on Tuesday. Journalist Nir Rosen became the poster boy for using Logan's attack to make political hay, when he trashed the famous TV journalist on Twitter for her past reporting on Afghanistan and even suggested she'd take advantage of her assault to advance her career. Rosen has since apologized everywhere imaginable, including in the pages of Salon, and resigned a job at New York University. I think Rosen's comments were awful, but I continue to wonder why right-wingers who've been equally insensitive to ...

Freshman Senator Mike Lee came to Washington as a standard-bearer of the Tea Party movement, vowing to change the capital's crony culture. The Utah Republican also came saddled with almost $64,000 in campaign debt. Now he's embracing one of Capitol Hill's time-honored traditions: repaying those IOUs with contributions from big business and other special interests. On Feb. 10 corporate lobbyists feted Lee at a $250-a-head debt-retirement dinner at the headquarters of the lobbying firm Polaris Consulting. It was a chance to pay down what he owes, and pick up new donors, while 11,000 conservative activists and lobbyists were in Washington for the annual Conservative Political ...

GOP Backs Down On Cops, Firefighters Post Date: 2011-02-16 18:05:17 by Brian S

House Democrats and more centrist Republicans joined forces Wednesday to preserve funding for the Legal Services Corporation and restore more than $800 million for two local police and firefighter programs backed by the White House. The victories were not without cost, forcing deep cuts from the nations space program as well research and development funds in the Department of Homeland Security. But the votes are the clearest sign yet of some second thoughts in the GOP about the depth and direction of the reductions demanded by conservatives and tea party supporters on the right. For example, 68 Republicans backed Democrats in defense of preserving at least reduced funding for legal ...

"We made a mistake with some of the video we aired, and plan on issuing a correction on Americas Newsroom tomorrow morning explaining exactly what happened," he said. Original report continues below... Interviewing Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) on his victory in the CPAC 2011 presidential straw poll, the conservative Fox News Channel did something slimy: they cued up footage of the prior year. While normally this could be passed off as a simple mistake -- the same man presented poll results both ...
If Spending Cuts Kill Jobs, ‘So Be It’: Boehner Post Date: 2011-02-15 17:19:49 by Brian S

WASHINGTON House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on Tuesday showed little concern for the federal job losses that could result from the GOP's proposed spending cuts. "In the last two years, under President Obama, the federal government has added 200,000 new federal jobs. If some of those jobs are lost so be it. We're broke," Boehner told reporters, according to Talking Points Memo. "The biggest danger to our country is if we do not act," the speaker added. "The status quo is shackling the future for our kids and grandkids that's why we have to act." Republicans have proposed a slew of budget cuts worth $32 billion to a multitude of ...

Leading up to last weeks Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC, some on the right led by Frank Gaffney dredged up their anti-Muslim, Islamophobic fury, claiming that leaders of the American Conservative Union which puts on CPAC had been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamists. Gaffney told ThinkProgress in an interview at CPAC that ACU board members Grover Norquist and Suhail Kahn were the main perpetrators of this alleged Muslim Brotherhood infiltration. Also at CPAC, ThinkProgress asked Norquist to respond to Gaffneys allegations. Norquist said conservatives have to knock that stuff ...

WASHINGTON Gov. Haley Barbour (R-MS), a rumored 2012 presidential contender, lobbied on behalf of Mexico last decade for a program that would have assisted unauthorized immigrants with gaining permanent residency. That's according to a report in TIME's Swampland blog by Michael Scherer, who obtained State Department filings revealing that Barbour's lobbying firm -- Barbour, Griffith & Rogers -- lobbied for Mexico on the program in 2001 and 2002. Barbour's firm was paid $35,000 a month by Mexico, plus other expenses. The revelation could create political problems for the Mississippi Republican, the current chairman of the Republican Governors Association and ...

Move over Jim DeMint youve got new competition. For the past four years, the South Carolina conservative has repeatedly put his Senate GOP colleagues in awkward positions, forcing them to take stands that pit them between their conservative base and Republican moderates. But in the opening weeks of the new Congress, freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has commanded a high-profile role as a conservative aggressor, proposing measures that go further than DeMints and would implement his libertarian political philosophy. DeMint has proposed cutting $250 billion per year for the next decade. Paul has proposed $500 billion worth of cuts for just one year. Paul has vowed to oppose ...
Disrespectful Libertarians Hijack CPAC Poll -- And Its Mission Post Date: 2011-02-14 11:44:40 by Brian S

The top three winners of this weekend's CPAC straw poll will not win the 2012 presidential nomination. And if any of the top three do break through to prove that prediction wrong, none of them will go on to win the White House in 2012. This year's top three placeholders in the poll were Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Gary Johnson. Ron Paul and Mitt Romney repeat their standing from the 2010 poll as No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. If the results of this straw poll do not sufficiently demonstrate the bizarre nature and overall oddity of this year's gathering of "conservatives," nothing else can. Ron Paul, though technically still a Republican, has given up his GOP identity ...
