Of course top spot for ignorant thuggery goes to the NYPost's monkey cartoon but I was struck, was it yesterday morning or the day before, by CNN's attempt to breathe new life into the mindlessly stupid and, I thought, totally discredited, "Roosevelt caused the Depression" remark by a goon Rethug congressman from a week or so ago. It was one of CNN's patented blank-faced and deviously "balanced" "closer looks" where the Depression remark was replayed in a package and then shown to be completely false in a quick verbal anchor statement (or tag as teevee folks call it) following the package. I'm of the opinion that a known false statement needs to be discredited immediately and not allowed to stand for a minute or two before a quickie semi-correction is made...CNN was obviously not informing in this instance but rather allowing the known false statement to breathe and possibly stay rooted as truth in the minds of people who didn't pay attention to the short anchor tag.
We do need desclaimes mandated that says, "this is entertainment"...
This is why we need to educate our public on such issues. There is ZERO critical thinking anymore. Peopel accept what is coming out of the boob tube as fact. And it is far from it.
Even BBC America, which is much better, is becoming too Americanized with propaganda.
The media is so afraid of being called biased by the Riecht wing, that they manufacture oposing arguements, where none exist. It's obvious and pathetic. They all do it.
But Bush could do no wrong for years...... Question Bush, you questioned patriotism. Make fun of speaker Pelosi, well that's just fun according to these people.
I have met the speaker and her husband They are very honorable personable and real people. I am sick and tired of these personal attacks.
Funny how GM spent a good chunk of the 20th century ruining rail transportation just to go belly-up not too long after the near smoking rail rubble cooled...
There is actually one commercial where I thought lollypops,butterflys and mickey mouse would fly out of her ass she was so excited about releasing more fossil fuels in the air.
Those commercials are revolting and cringe worthy everytime they air.
And they always air on news shows....Sunday morning news shows and evening network news. So what does that tell us about our country?
Walter Cronkite...where are you??? :-)
They know their numbers are up. BTW, Alberto Gonzales made the comment the other day that he would welcome investigations as long as they weren't "politicized." What a comedian! He's had time to think up that gem, since he's still looking for work that's never going to come. He'll wind up ambulance chasing, you betcha, before he himself winds up in the clinker.
OK, so, we boycott the racist NY Post & and dump NewsCorp stock today.

Yeah. That one funny, accurate and just. A REAL political cartoon.
.
Yeah. I don't much care for this assassination meme the 'Pukes have got going. The whole monkey thing, too. really unpleasant people, they are. We need to shut 'em down. They never learn. This is just one of MANY incidents. They're trying to enflame something. It's bloody obvious.

As for "boycotting" the Post. It was not worth reading long before this new episode.
"walrus" = troll

What do you think I'm trolling for?
Frank is being used as a convenient target by the right wing noise machine, not just because he's a "librul" but because he's a faggot. they are dog-whistling a message to the winger bigots. that needs to be called out.
They don't know what to do. Like parrots that don't really understand what they are saying...they just oppose anything that is not their idea. Pathetic really.
They have painted themeselves in a corner because their very ideology is flawed. They will disintegrate.
I am all for another opinion, and a better way to do things. I can listen to George Will, and other reasonable conservitives. But the rethuglican party needs to clean house of people like Bachman and her ilk. Until that happes, we will always have a Democratic majority. Hopefully the country is on to the fact that these right wing extremists have been setting our country on a collision course.
I think we have. Limpballs is going to explode like Mr. Creosote one day.
He offers nothing but hate and division.
The angrier and lunier he gets, the better for us.
I just wish Chris Farley was alive today to do an imitation of Limpballs and put him in his place.
If not, it is long overdue.....

Talk about down the memory hole...
Congress needs to not only take a lead with the GOP pundit podium of the news shows; the Christian pulpits need to be revisited regarding their tax exempt status. Barney Frank should spearhead the initiative.
And one more thing:
Wouldn't it be great if advertisers took the intitiative to quit the NY Post, and if American's quit buying it; and if the congress took a second look at the wavier it gave NYP owner Murdoch. It's time for CHANGE.
