This column focuses on TCOT’s ineffectiveness and touches on the 68-31 bipartisan victory of Jutice Sotomayor at the end.

GOP looks to Twitter for talking points

in GOP, Healthcare, Media Gaffes, Twitter

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, [...]

James von Brunn was not the only right-wing extremist who committed racially-motivated acts of terror this year.

(The union that represented murdered Stephen Johns tried in vain for two years to get the guards at the Holocaust Museum the same kind of [...]

What poverty looks like

in GOP, Healthcare, The President

There’s been an ongoing discussion on Twitter between @kylesellers and me about whether the initiatives being introduced by President Obama are “radical”. The answer? Yes. Radical, as defined by the Miriam-Webster dictionary, is marked by a considerable departure from the usual or traditional.
Here’s another relevant definition: Poverty (a): the state of one who lacks a [...]

by @dmooney9 on May 2, 2009 · 12 comments

in #tcot, GOP

Today the producers of The TCOT Report on PJ TV ask

“Are you disappointed, annoyed, angry, or pissed at the MSM and their coverage of Tea Parties? Many people in

It seems however that the TCOT problems are not with [...]

in Healthcare

You’ve heard me say it before- in what other country can you go bankrupt because of medical bills?  Since when did an organ transplant have to be a choice between protecting your family’s assets and living long enough to see your grand kids or ride your first bike.

Tea Party Movement Not So Moving

by @tregan on April 16, 2009 · 7 comments

in #tcot, Economy, Taxes

In the end, it was a lot of sound and fury (primarily from Fox News and Pajamas Media) signifying … well, not much, really. To be honest, it was kind of disappointing. Around 30,000 to 40,000 Americans gathered for Tea Party Tax-Day protests in 40 odd locations around the country. In a nation of over [...]
