James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles made it up.
It took a few months for the truth to finally emerge, but now we know that the GOP wunderkids, the “future of journalism,” these “heroes” as they were hailed by the right, are basically full of, well, crap. And not very good crap at that.
Last September, to much [...]
It’s a cliche, I know. But when it comes to the health care debate, the motto of Republicans and conservatives truly should be “Never let a fact get in the way of a good story.”
Oh, those pesky facts, as Glenn Beck might say (although Beck hasn’t used a real fact in so many years he [...]
This morning’s newspaper again reminds us of the hypocrisy of the Conservative movement. Here are just three examples covering their hypocrisy about racial profiling and abortion.

What does it say about a country that prospers in times of war?
What does it say about people when they love a wartime President and detest a peaceful President?
What does it say about Americans when we question the origin of birth of the first non-white President?
This week tcotreport.com featured a poll on their front page. [...]
Twitter can be a great source of information. Or not, depending. As marketers have discovered, it’s wonderful for getting a message out and spread virally, whether it’s true or not. Political operatives have discovered the same thing. In fact, the Twitter API is so robust and friendly that it can become a 24/7 propaganda machine, [...]
My Grandma’s got a message for John Boehner: Don’t make assumptions about other people’s lives and how they want them to end.
