In yet another humiliating attempt to catch the Obama campaign in a hidden video conspiratorial outrageous outrage, the heirs of Andrew at Breitbart.com have creatively edited a video of a lecture by Harvard Law School Prof. Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., to make it look like he was admitting hiding a ...

I was recently able to view the October 18th airing of the PBS Frontline documentary, "Lost in Detention" on the state of deportation in the U.S. under the Obama administration. In a word, it's pathetic, but worth the time to watch. Video Beginning in 2008, under the Obama administration, the U.S. Immigration ...
In the October 14th episode of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh defended the Ugandan terrorist group calling itself the Lord's Resistance Army, portraying the LRA as Christians targeted by President Obama for being Christian, and defending the agitprop of the LRA by reading it as gospel. Only at the very last ...

Wonkette's Jack Stuef put together a highly annoying video to count the interruptions.
Bill O'Reilly interviews Barack Obama before the Super Bowl. My favorite moment was near the end, when O'Reilly said, "I hope you think I'm fair to you, I try to be." And Obama just looked at him, long enough to make the point. (Note: this video clip may disappear from YouTube soon.)
The latest right wing outrageous outrage is a real doozy -- a completely bogus rumor, repeated all over the right wing blogosphere and Fox News and talk radio, that President Obama's trip to India will cost $200 million a day. This is a great demonstration of how deranged the right wing ...

Tonight at RedState.com: And Even STILL I Am Not Allowed To Make A Racial Slur About Our President? After THIS? AYFKM!?!?!? In the new post-racial America, brought to us by Barack “don’t call me black or white, just call me American” Obama, we have been told our differences are behind ...

The latest Newsweek poll shows that President Obama's approval rating has jumped. The poll finds that 48 percent of registered voters would be more likely to vote for Democrats, compared with 42 percent who lean Republican (those numbers are similar to those in the last NEWSWEEK Poll, which found Democrats ...
Here's a hilarious parody of Gilbert and Sullivan's Major General's Song, directed by and starring Ron Butler as the prez. [Video]
Glenn Reynolds provides us with a textbook example of Obama Derangement Syndrome, mixed with a blind dumb partisan instinct to deny responsibility for their own inflammatory rhetoric, and blame the other side for absolutely everything. It occurs to me that right after 9/11 we saw the beginning anti-mosque demonstrations but ...

Somebody in the President's security detail wasn't alert enough today in Philadelphia.
Here's the Rolling Stone interview with President Obama, and here's the quote everyone's already chattering about: What do you think of Fox News? Do you think it's a good institution for America and for democracy? [Laughs] Look, as president, I swore to uphold the Constitution, and part of that ...

Right wing bloggers and Fox News are freaking out (they always do it in unison) about a quote from President Obama in Bob Woodward's new book "Obama's Wars:" 'We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ...

The wingnut sites are all hyperventilating about President Obama's speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, in which he ad-libbed a quote from the Declaration of Independence -- and left out the words "by their Creator." The Weekly Standard's Jeffrey Anderson, in a post dripping with horror, asks the all-important question: ...

David Frum calls out Newt Gingrich: Gingrich: Obama Wants Whitey’s Money. As for the underlying D’Souza article that inspired Gingrich, what is there to be said? When last was there such a brazen outburst of race-baiting in the service of partisan politics at the national level? George Wallace took more ...

Uh oh. Citing a recent Forbes article by Dinesh D’Souza, former House speaker Newt Gingrich tells National Review Online that President Obama may follow “Kenyan, anti-colonial” worldview. Gingrich says that D’Souza has made a “stunning insight” into Obama’s behavior — the “most profound insight I have read in the last six ...

The right wing nontroversy of the Labor Day weekend springs from an article at the Washington Post about the new presidential rug for the Oval Office: Oval Office rug gets history wrong. Writer Jamie Stiehm says these words on the rug are wrongly attributed to Martin Luther King Jr.: "The arc ...

President Obama's speech on the drawdown of US troops in Iraq is about to start; Sarah Palin started attacking it before it began, with a hilariously illiterate reference to George Orwell: Sarah Palin. When asked, "Which book by George Orwell is your favorite?" Palin replied, "All of them!" Ahem. Anyway, here's live ...

The New Yorker's Jane Mayer has an excellent piece on right wing billionaires David and Charles Koch, and their $100 million war against President Obama. In 1958, Fred Koch became one of the original members of the John Birch Society, the arch-conservative group known, in part, for a highly skeptical ...
