Here’s This Wild Idea To Improve
Upon YouCut

by Smitty This blog would like to send a very heartfelt message to Rachel Maddow, but will require a bit of support to do it. Seeing what a smashing success Rep. Cantor has been with YouCut, and the admittedly swift propaganda play on Rand Paul, we’d like to take that idea just one consonant further. […]

Rachel Maddow vs. Rand Paul: Intellectual Terrorism and ‘Civil Rights’

Here’s the video: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy David Weigel has some interesting analysis: So is Rand Paul a racist? No, and it’s irritating to watch his out-of-context quotes . . . splashed on the Web to make that point. Paul believes, as many conservatives believe, that the […]

If You Think Watching Keith Olbermann Is Painful, Imagine Being His Guest

David Weigel had to defend Sarah Palin against Olby’s hallucinatory perjury-trap “Fitzmas” fantasies of a Palin perpwalk: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy After doing the Olbermann show, Weigel’s probably looking forward to talking to comparatively sane people at the Million Birther March.

How to Lose Your MSNBC Anchor Gig

But there is an antidote to the lack of diversity: The Zo. PJTV has his Dallas […]

MSNBC’s Alternative Reality

While working on my taxes (trying to figure my mileage for 2009) I’ve had the TV in my basement office tuned to MSNBC. Unless Rachel Maddow and her cohorts are hallucinating, the most important story in the world is . . . Republicans are desperate! Obama and his health-care plan are overwhelmingly popular! Crazy right-wingers are going psycho […]

‘Tremble in Fear!!!!’

Mock fearmongering or fearmonger mocking? We report, you deride.  Speaking of fearmongers deserving of mockery . . . Charles Johnson. Allahpundit mocks Dylan Ratigan, whose performance prompts Dan Riehl to ask, “What is he, some kind of Olbermann wannabe?” and prompts Professor Reynolds to reflect: One of [Ratigan’s] producers called to ask me to be on […]

How SPLC Hypes the Hate

Dangerous extremist militias taking over America? The Southern Poverty Law Center reports “an astonishing 363 new Patriot groups appeared in 2009, with the totals going from 149 groups (including 42 militias) to 512 (127 of them militias) – a 244% jump” from 2008. OK, so let’s ask a question: How does the SPLC get these numbers? […]
