This keeps happening because racism is so embraced by the current ruling party. Simple as that.

How many times can the "professional" news media confuse the names of Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama before someone starts to ask them how this keeps happening?

Shorter Chimpy: I don't give a fuck how many people I kill. If I don't admit a mistake, then there is no mistake. Fact's be damned and fuck off.

"Early on, when things started to go south in Iraq, Bush said something along the lines of solving Iraq would be left up to the next President. I know it wasn't that blatant, but it gave the impression that he was perfectly willing to leave his successor with the whole mess if things didn't 'work out' for him. Ever since that comment, I get the distinct impression that Bush is just trying to run out the clock in order to avoid facing an acknowledgment of the worst foreign policy disaster in this nation's history.

"We assume that, like most Presidents, he connects his self-image with actual success or failure in the real world. I increasingly am drawn to the conclusion that, regardless of the facts on the ground, he will consider himself a success as long as he never admits that his ill-fated adventure in Iraq can't succeed."

Wow. ANOTHER fascist POS republican hypocrite was a FUCKING JUNKIE

The FBI’s 1986 report on Rehnquist’s drug dependence was not released at the time of his confirmation, though some Democratic senators wanted it made public. But it is in Rehnquist’s now-public file, and it contains new details about his behavior during his weeklong hospital stay in December 1981. One physician whose name is blocked out told the FBI that Rehnquist expressed “bizarre ideas and outrageous thoughts. He imagined, for example, that there was a CIA plot against him.”

Chimpy is creepy

Man—he just looks burnt out…Instead of thanking the military for their "sacrifices,"—thank them by getting out of Iraq. Don't you love how Bush needs to reach out to Democrats and Congress now? Like he did before, right?

No double standards asshole. Where is the assasination schedule for Chimpy and Smirky? Christ, Chimpy has already 'betrayed' the nation.

'Assassination' schedule announced for Congress
Radio-show host says leaders won't be allowed to 'betray' nation

A radio talk-show entertainer whose earlier statements that he "may" have to assassinate members of Congress if the wrong people were elected Nov. 7 now has set a timetable for those killings.

Faux News: President Bush had admitted to using cocaine and is an alcoholic

"Our current president, who admitted to using cocaine, correct? [Others demur] Well, who wrote, somebody wrote in a book -- well, he admitted that he had an alcoholic, he had a drinking problem.

ChimpCo: We are going to kill your children in Iraq to make Dear Leader look good. Not for America, Iraq or anyone else, just Chimpy.

Last night on NBC News, Jim Miklaszewski reported that the new strategy will be announced next Tuesday, and that an administration official “admitted to us today that this surge option is more of a political decision than a military one.

Brilliant move

Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, found himself under attack last month when he announced he'd take his oath of office on the Koran -- especially from Virginia Rep. Virgil Goode, who called it a threat to American values.

Yet the holy book at tomorrow's ceremony has an unassailably all-American provenance. We've learned that the new congressman -- in a savvy bit of political symbolism -- will hold the personal copy once owned by Thomas Jefferson.

Selfish, partisan children on the Supreme court think their low pay is a “constitutional crisis”

Ignorant, ugly people rule us.

Habeas Corpus, domestic wiretapping, violations of the Geneva Conventions, illegal wars and THIS is a constitutional crisis for Roberts? Hyperbole much?

There's a problem with the black American culture in America

"I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there," she says. "If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school."

I'm sick of you fucking people.

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

The reason I'm bringing this up now, on the first day of a new year, this New Year, is because I'm tired. I'm battle fatigued fighting the 'Information Civil War'; at least that's what I call this situation between the reality-based folks and the Right Wing Noise Machine. I've been looking back through our archives this morning, randomly stopping at posts over the past 2 1/2 years and realizing that we (here and in Left Blogtopia [y!sctp!] in general) spent a lot of time rebutting untruths and spin shoveled in by the Right.

The Republican Party is a criminal organization and you sheep are just passive foot soldiers. They couldn't have created this mess without you as accomplices. Make up for it this year and actually pay attention to what's happening around you and stop parroting the horseshit you hear on Fox News. We're just beginning to straighten out the mess, let us do it.

Bush's Law: if it's possible to make things worse, he will.

Bush managed to fuck up Saddam's execution on a couple of fronts.

We're number 5! We're number 5!

Universal health care. It's cheaper with better results. Why is this a problem?

What kind of Anti-American shit is this?

Chimpy says we can torture whoever the fuck we want.

Mixup Causes James Brown To Be Sent To D.C. While Ford Is Sent To Apollo Theater

Meanwhile, the cream of Washington society gathered at the Capitol and paraded by the Godfather of Soul, desperately trying to stay in rhythm. "This is hard," said Cokie Roberts, snapping her fingers frantically.

President Bush praised James Brown for healing the nation during one of America's greatest crises. "James Brown's middle-of-the-road policies saved this nation," said Bush, calling him "a good, decent, moderate spirit" who "did amazing things dancing with microphone stands."
