Democrats are caught again. What do they do? They blame Rove. It is classic and they will do it time and time again even though logically blaming Rove for making Republicans look bad is riduculous.

I want everyone concerned with Terri my condolences on her passing. Now with that said, it’s time for the a rebirth in our government. Since the Republican Party became the majority they have done everything to discolor and discredit using lies and false reports to all who challanged them. I hope America will wake up before the next election and see truly what the Republican Party really stands for the party of lies and hate.

It seems to me that there has been a lot of shady business going on with the Republicans, including the lead-up to the Iraq War, the deliberate misinformation of the cost of the prescription drug plan, the “outing” of the female spy, the attacks on John Kerry’s war record, among others. It immediately crossed my mind that the Dan Rather incident was a “dirty trick”. But, apparently, that never occurred to anyone, not even the Democrats. Are the Democrats, perhaps, at a disadvantage when it comes to wiles, maybe because they are not as good at it as this administration seems to be? karennkc.

La Shawn Barber Makes CNN
The blog is something of a unique artform. On the surface it looks very much like a newspaper or magazine, and sometimes performs a similar function, but, let us face it, the ancestry of the blog passes much more closely through the barber shop and t…

I think it was typed on the same machine that the CBS memos came from. Karl Rove’s

How many times will America fall for the memo trick?

You have to admire the bigots in the MSM. They get knocked down but they get right back up and put out more lies as “news”. The may be crooks but they are tenacious.

I disagree (respectfully) with Michelle Malkin.

Plenty of sources who disclose their full names….and are Liars.

What then?

The truth depends on someone’s full name?

Gawker and Wonkette, each, get 23 million hits per day. Both traffic in gossip and innuendo. Can’t fault Gawker etc. for giving readers what they want.

Readers need to take responsibility for what they choose to read, and who they are going to trust.

Buyer bewhere.

“No Hard Evidence That The Memo Is Fake”
Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post establishes a new standard for determining “news” in the old media: If a memo comes into your hands that is embarassing to the Republican Party and you have “very reliable, multiple sources who indicated…
