DJ comments As long as we let the talking heads put words in our mouths, we will perceive the two “sides” to be diametrically opposed, when it fact we are on the same side and it is the talking heads (both politicians and media) who are our opposition. It’s time to sit down, [...] As I’ve been saying until I’m hoarse, the teabagger movement is real and growing. This is is their apparent anthem. Rather than sitting on the sidelines snidely guffawing about what a bunch of goobers teabaggers are, I suggest liberals, progressives, and the hard left get off their self-satisfied butts and get involved in the [...] Crooks and Liars says teabaggers are a construct of right-wing operatives, dangerous loonies, and any talk of engaging them or joining together on common issues is idiotic. They want jobs for sure, but they think that any government which is led by a Democratic politician wants to destroy their freedoms and as we see, [...] AmericaBlog, who I often admire, like other liberal blogs just can’t decide whether to ridicule, ignore, or be scared of teabaggers. So they hyperventilate instead. This is an actual trailer for a new documentary about the Teabaggers. This isn’t a joke. It’s an actual serious documentary taking the Teabaggers seriously. The trailer is bizarre. [...] The Blue Voice ponders Jerry Brown, radical politics on both sides of the spectrum, civil liberties, and more in a thoughtful post. They quote from an interview Jerry Brown did with The Progressive in 1995. Brown makes a crucial point, that militia anger is based on real grievances. The Blue Voice thinks Brown misses the [...] Why? because they’re angry too at the banksters and corptocracy that increasingly controls politics in DC as they loot the country. So says Newshoggers, and I completely agree. While the tea party movement may have some anti-government bigots they are upset about many of the same things as we progressives. In a post this [...] Authorities are searching for a healthcare reform activist today who they said bit off the finger of a 65-year-old counter-demonstrator during a fight at a MoveOn.org rally in Thousand Oaks. A MoveOn spokersperson issued a tepid statement calling the incident “regrettable” hoping it won’t detract from their political statement. Because of course their political [...] Photo via SFist linking to Zombietime (an anonymous hard right photographer who cheerfully and methodically documents the lunacies of the extreme left.) The left has plenty of loonies too. Some of whom carried signs threatening the life of a president. But such derangement was clearly not the common view of most antiwar protesters. [...] This awesome rant howls about the cluelessness of liberals moaning about health care while wars rage and elites plunder the economy. This also, I must add, includes the maddeningly comatose behavior of the radical left who during this massive crisis of capitalism has been doing precisely nothing. (I’m not sure who the author is, [...] Some posts you may have missed here. My views on the town hall meetings. Attempts at disrupting meetings can easily be stopped by the organizers. The fascist hordes are not massing at the gates. The 60′s were a whole lot crazier than now. The right will push the middle class to the left. We need [...] |  | ||||
