Bullshit

Hillary backers, consider this: McCain wants to roll back choice

Filed under: John McCain , John McCain , John McCain , John McCain , John McCain

Like many Hillary supporters, I was distraught by the way her campaign was shredded in the news media. I was angered by her sometimes-petty political antics and downright livid that she couldn’t win the nomination.

Today, I sit at my desk pessimistic that she will not go down in history as the brilliant trailblazer she is, and rather she will be remembered as the woman who wouldn’t give up and lost.

But the political reality is that none of that matters anymore. What matters is that this is a crucial political tipping point. To Hillary supporters who want their candidate's values represented, nothing should matter more than putting the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama, in office. Nowhere is this more true than on the issue of reproductive choice.

Racist Fox News calls Michelle "Obama's Baby Mama"

Filed under: Bullshit

Fox isn't even trying to disguise the racism any more. In this clip, the network called potential future first lady Michelle Obama "Obama's Baby Mama," clearly a reference to her race. Watch for the unintended irony when Michelle Malkin says conservatives aren't making "... gratuitous and cheap shots at her that have nothing to do with the substance of what she's saying ..."

How low can Fox News go? Rupert Murdoch's propaganda wing has somehow turned the loving gesture of two spouses into some secret Manchurian Candidate voodoo.

Michelle Obama's "Whitey" album

Filed under: Bullshit

michelle%20obama.jpg
Rumors are swirling around the conservative blogosphere that somewhere there exists an alleged videotape of Michelle Obama using the slur "whitey." Don't believe it.


A blogger named Larry Johnson claimed he had five good sources who had seen the tape (as anyone who has gone to high school can verify, when five independent people all hear the same rumor, it has to be true). Yet Johnson has produced no hard evidence to back up his claim.

Joe Biden calls bullshit on George Bush

Filed under: Bullshit

The polite media can't say it, but you can't be too prudish when your paper has sex ads in the back. Yes, Joe Biden said bullshit.


Not "bullsh*t" or "a barnyard expletive." Joe Biden called bullshit.

He was referring to President Bush's thinly veiled swipe at Barack Obama in which the president compared the Democratic nominee to a Nazi appeaser.

In Israel, no less.
