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 [...]

Looking at the results of last night’s off-off year elections is a bit like looking at a Jackson Pollack painting. You see in it what you want.
Did the GOP win? Well, yes and no.
They won big in Virginia and in a squeaker in New Jersey, but lost a seat in upstate New York they [...]
It’s kinda odd when you think about it.
The future of the Republican Party is being played out in two places that look very different at first glance: liberal New York and conservative Virginia. True, both states voted for Obama last presidential election, but national elections don’t really matter all that much in state-based campaigns. [...]
It was a heady moment. This week Eric Cantor, leading GOP House member, said that if an election was held today, the GOP would take control of the House.
And he might be right … if an election was held today.
But I have sad news for Mr. Cantor. There is no election today. There is no [...]
There were many offensive signs at the so-called 9-12 rallies, so named as they were supposedly catching the spirit of unity immediately following the attacks on 9/11/2001. One sign, however, crossed an even worse line, inciting domestic terrorism.
This same cut-off quote of Thomas Jefferson was worn by William Kostric who came to a health care [...]
I’m no big fan of Newt Gingrich, but I also know that he has a lot of political smarts (not that he always uses them appropriately). In the early part of the year, he made a very interesting comment that bares repeating in the midst of the onslaught by the GOP, the teabaggers and the [...]
This column focuses on TCOT’s ineffectiveness and touches on the 68-31 bipartisan victory of Jutice Sotomayor at the end.
Last night TCOT founder Michael P Leahy hosted a conference call to rally supporters to join the planned August 22 anti-Obamacare rallies happening in front of congressional offices across the country. I joined the call 15 minutes [...]
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. [...]
Update: The New York Post is reporting that Nancy Genovese, Glenn Beck fan, FEMA camp conspiracy theorist, and tea bagger, was casing out a Long Island National Guard base. She had in her car the arsenal pictured to the right. Of course there will always be the unhinged and the mentally ill who listen to the crazy conspiracies [...]
