Funny, I don’t remember them ever attempting to explain the TEA Party point of view (LA Times) How do you know when a protest movement is starting to scare the pants off the establishment? One clue is when the protesters are casually dismissed as hippies or rabble, or their principles redefined as class envy or […]

Remember who all those TEA Partiers were arrested during many of the protests? No? They weren’t? There were barely any arrests, if any? There were permits and stuff, and the TP’s acted in a civil manner? How about the 99 Percenters? Boston police moved in and began arresting scores of Occupy Boston protesters who refused […]

Obviously, has to be Ben&Jerry’s (via death+taxes) We, the Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors, compelled by our personal convictions and our Company’s mission and values, wish to express our deepest admiration to all of you who have initiated the non-violent Occupy Wall Street Movement and to those around the country who have joined in […]

Now, imagine this occurred at a Tea Party rally; every news organization would have it as headline news (NY Post) The criminals are crashing the party. Lured by cheap drugs and free food, creepy thugs have infiltrated the crowd of protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park for Occupy Wall Street, The Post has learned. “I […]

And, when I call them morons, I’m not simply using typical language that us folks in political blogging use against our opponents (unlike those on the left, I do not consider them enemies, like the left thinks about the right): in this case, they are morons. Here’s a CNBC story from Friday which jumped into […]

At first, I thought this might have been a campaign by Cincinnati’s Chamber of Commerce, or perhaps something to get people to attend Bengels’ games, alas, no, it’s just another unhinged attempt at giving liberals another avenue for airing their same old grievances, which typically devolve to ” hey, gimme, I’m entitled” (Cincinnati.com) Occupy Cincinnati […]

They must be eradicated from society. For social justice! With an unmatched capacity for sending leaves scurrying, the leaf blower has become a staple of South Florida’s verdant landscape. Its banshee-like roar and hurricane-force winds may be grating, but some folks have learned to tolerate the blowers’ noisy presence. But a group of Palm Beach […]

Let’s start with a setup to add context (WRAL) Hundreds of people gathered in downtown Raleigh and Durham on Sunday to show solidarity with an ongoing protest against corporate greed and social inequality on Wall Street. So, commies gathered on Sunday? People who aren’t smart enough and aren’t willing to do the hard work to […]

It’s amazing. The Occupy Wall Street protest is just like one of those gatherings by the TEA Party. Remember when hundreds were arrested at Glenn Beck’s 8/28 gathering? And the big march on Washington? The tax day protest? Oh, wait, there weren’t? But, still, you know it is only the TEA Party that’s violent and […]

And all because of DICs When it comes to messaging, the right wing media machine has perfected the ability to turn molehills into mountain. Progressives, on the other hand, have perfected the art of turning mountains into molehills. So Joe’s admitting he’s a hardcore progressive with an agenda? Nowhere is that clearer than in the […]
