  Posted by Jesse Lee (The White House) on January 19, 2011 at 06:10 AM EST Today, Republicans in the House of Representatives are voting on a bill to repeal the new freedoms, control over health care decisions, and cost savings the health care law---the Affordable Care Act---provides the American people. As Secretary Geithner noted this morning , repeal would be bad for business and bad for the economy. Repealing the Affordable Care Act would also have a significant effect on families’ bank accounts. Stephanie Cutter, an Assistant to the President who has been working on implementing the health reform law, takes to the White House White Board to explain what repealing it would mean for family premium costs and American jobs:   Technorati Tags: White House , health care , health care repeal , Republicans , republican agenda

Right-Wingers accuse the Obama health care reform as being Fascist. Phony grass roots organizations are packing town hall meetings to drown out questions or debate. They are not interested in working to fix a health care system that is a disaster. They are trying to maintain the status quo. They are shills for the insurance industry who are spreading lies and misinformation about the health care proposals to frighten those who refuse to obtain correct information on their own and prefer to be lead by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and other professional loud mouths.

In the last week, two of our most senior generals with command of our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have said they oppose the use of torture or so-called "enhanced" interrogation techniques.  These same generals also confirm that the use of these techniques has damaged our international reputation while producing no actionable intelligence. General David Petraeus – the figure lauded by conservatives and the person chosen by Bush and Cheney to sell the surge to Congress – said the following to Fox News in regards to criticisms of President Obama for taking “enhanced interrogation techniques” off the table: Gen. Petraeus: "Well, actually what I would ask is, 'Does that not take away from our enemies a tool which again have beaten us around the head and shoulders in the court of public opinion?' When we have taken steps that have violated the Geneva Conventions we rightly have been criticized , so as we move forward I think it's important to again live ou...

Click on image to see entire video This dumb-ass seems to be getting around on the video sites. Nothing could be better for this piece of shit. In the video, this fool is happy to display his “Obama Monkey” to someone with a home video cam (I guess this dimwit never heard of video sharing sites) but as soon as he noticed national news zeroing in on him, he ditched the doll to some child. How generous of him. These are the people Rep. John Murtha was referring to and Gov. Rendell claims “there’s only a few of”.

I found this on a wing-nut blog. The closer the election gets, the more braying about Obama being a Communist I find on blogs written by American knuckle draggers. I don’t know if this image was done for a humor site but it is finding its way onto the loonie Right’s blogs apparently.

Misinformation is higher education in the USA How can so many Americans be so stupid and uninformed? The guy at the end is right to be frightened of the violent possibilities of these people. They are capable of anything but intelligent thought!

I post this because it is important to counter the virus-like spread of Cliff Kincaid's anti-Obama propaganda. Cliff Kincaid's Aug. 15 Accuracy in Media column proclaims that the Barack Obama campaign's debunking of Jerome Corsi's Obama-bashing book "acknowledges on ... that the mysterious “Frank” in Obama’s 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, is in fact the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis," insisting that the admission "can only add to growing public concern about Obama’s relationship with a Communist pawn of Moscow who was the subject of security investigations by the FBI and various congressional committees which examined Soviet activities in the U.S." In an Aug. 17 column , Kincaid complains that the Obama campaign's debunking "doesn’t identify Davis as a hard-core communist and it dishonestly edits an article about Davis to eliminate references to his admitted involvement in CPUSA activities and make t...

Apparently all the wing-nuts blogging throughout the secret basements complex of the Ministry Of Propaganda hoped that they had found another "swift boat" moment to use on Obama. These people are terrified of him for some reason (and I believe it really has to do with race) and are desperately trying to derail Obama's presidential chances. The vomiting out of hundreds of cut and past articles by these bloggers about Obama's supposed Leftist and Communist ties have been polluting the web for months. How about the whisper campaign that Obama is really a Muslim and the fist bump being a "terrorist" fist "jab". Just do a search since I really don't want to provide a link to anything these buffoons post. The latest non-scandal is that Obama's repainted Boeing 757 no longer sports the US flag on it's tail. His campaign logo has replaced it. This must be another example of Obama's lack of patriotism (fuck, I'm sick of hearing that ...

What more can be said about the Right-Wing xenophobes than has already been said?

The New McCarthyism by ~ davidbdr on deviant ART Since a histrionic article about Barack Obama's childhood friendship with the African-American, Communist? poet and journalist, Frank Marshall Davis [link] appeared on the vile AIM (Accuracy In Media) website, [link] the guilt by association charge of being either a Marxist or socialist has been repeated ad nauseum by the Right-Wing hacks of the blogosphere about Obama. Apparently, Obama is a secret Commie mole working for the Communist Party USA to destroy this shining gem of Democracy into a Red gulag. The whole idea would be laughable if it were not for the fact that a large percentage of the US voting public are simpletons with no grasp of history or the reality of their own country. This BS is only going to become more ridiculous as the Right attempt to scuttle Obama's presidential chances. They really fear his intelligence and masterful oratory skills. I can't wait to see the "debates between Obama and McCain....

Much is being made about various statements the Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ has made in past sermons. The noisemakers are squawking because of the Reverend's relationship with Barack Obama. You know, the usual attacks using guilt by association. Obviously, if some one Obama knows makes "controversial" statements, he may as well have done it as well. I listened to Wright's messages as broadcast on the news and, truthfully, didn't find anything he said untrue. Just because white America chooses to bury it's collective head up it's ass, does not make those statements any less true. A sermon on the Sunday after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Wright preached that the United States brought the attacks itself. "We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Wright said. "We have supported state terror...

I feel like crap. I've been sick with some foul strain of the plague or something for two weeks now. I can't seem to shake it off. I'm nauseous all of the time and get the occasional case of gagging. There doesn't seem to be a reason for the dry heaves but the ravings of some ding-dong bloggers set off a spasm. It seems the first salvo across Barack Obama's bow has been fired by the terrified wing-nuts on the Right. They must be poopin' their britches watching a black man possibly become president of the USA. Oh yeah, dear god, he's got one of those A-rab soundin' names too! The wing-nut's cut and past frenzy seems to mostly consist of bits of a wonderful piece of red baiting by Cliff Kincaid , one of the great minds at Accuracy In Media .  Accuracy In Media claims to exist to publish the truth about "liberal biased reporting in the media." They do this by countering with a cock-eyed Conservative slant. So much for accuracy, I guess. Well...

By Hiram Lee 15 December 2007 Originally p ublished on the World Socialist Web Site Email the author   Directed by Chris Weitz, screenplay by Weitz, based on the novel by Philip Pullman   The Golden Compass is the first in a planned trilogy of films based on a series of novels for young readers by Philip Pullman. Pullman’s novels Northern Lights (released in the US as The Golden Compass ), The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass , comprising a trilogy entitled His Dark Materials , have received numerous awards and have found a readership numbering well into the millions. Pullman, alternately described in the press as an atheist or agnostic, has invested in his books a critical attitude toward religion.   The film adaptation of Golden Compass has been attacked by right-wing Christian fundamentalist groups who claim the movie promotes atheism, deceitfulness, the occult, and even the killing of one’s parents. It almost goes without saying that such claims are ...

Read more below and use the links to take action!   STOP the Police State Bill   The Senate is about to vote to criminalize thought and shred the first amendment, unless we stop them .   This flawed and dangerous legislation , T he Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, HR 1955 , introduced by Rep. Jane Harman , was passed on October 23, 2007 , with only four Democrats and two Republicans voting against it.
