Bill Moyers on Hypocrisy of Obama’s Wright Controversy
Bill Moyers nails it and locks it down. Here’s some of the good stuff:
Behold the double standard: John McCain sought out the endorsement of John Hagee, the war-mongering Catholic-bashing Texas preacher, who said the people of New Orleans got what they deserved for their sins. But no one suggests McCain shares Hagee’s delusions, or […]
Obama’s Bittergate, Mayhill Fowler, and Citizen Journalism
Do citizens have a right to attend, observe, and write about political events and appearances? Of course they do. Does that change when a citizen is contributing to a “pro-am” political website like OffTheBus and an open supporter of a candidate? Pundits, journalists, bloggers, and just plain old citizens have been arguing about that since […]
Fox Attacks Obama! Part Two
Obviously, I’ve been spending time on Brave New Films’ YouTube channel. Did he say “the kind of spontaneous affection Chairman Mao only dreamed about? Watch the video:
Probama Wordpress Theme for Obama Supporters
Check out the Probama Wordpress theme by Category 4–optimized and ready to go. I hope the campaigns are paying attention. They should be developing official blogging themes that tap into their social media accounts automatically that supporters can use for free. The Probama Wordpress theme comes configured to read the Obama campaign’s RSS and Flickr […]
Obama “A More Perfect Union” Speech in Philadelphia
Obama’s speech today truly was the “A More Perfect Union” speech. The most compelling reaction to Obama’s speech on America and race today comes from Henry on Crooked Timber:
“I’ve been thinking most of today about Barack Obama’s speech on race and American society; while we’ve tried to avoid too much horserace type commentary here […]
What Is American and What Isn’t?
Consider this a quickie. Read Desert Beacon’s exceptional post on the problem that endorsements present for McCain and Obama, and the latent racism of “movement conservatism.” Is gay hating more American than damning the United States for real or perceived racism? I’m not going to wade into those waters, but I do […]
Clinton Campaign Strategy
Its getting harder and harder to tell the difference between a real Clinton ad and a fake one. Way to pave the way to ugly for the GOP. Videos like this are becoming less funny.

Give Everyone Eat: Obama, Catch-22, and Patriotism
Thanks to John Cole at Balloon Juice for the video.
Catch-22 provides clarification for America’s perennial problems–corporatism, bureaucracy, and our often less than complex beliefs about patriotism, honor, and morality. The latest “scandal” over Obama’s lack of patriotism and unfortunately non-white complexion, reminded me of the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade. Take note. What […]
The Eloquence of Peggy Noonan
The alternative title for Noonan’s latest Wallstreet Journal editorial: Successful black people don’t know what its like to black, or white, or poor. So they shouldn’t run for president, or even talk really. Privledged white men like JFK and Bush are much more eloquent on what it means to be American.
Is it […]
Obama Born of A Communist Plot. He’s Black Too.
No lie, the basic argument of Lisa Schiffren at NRO is that Obama is the progeny of a communist plot that entailed white women marrying black men (usually Jewish women). So what? Why does Schiffren care that Obama is a “black/half Jewish, red diaper baby?” Schiffren manages to bring together a […]
Clinton Losing Credibility over Delegate Fights
All the unseemly arguing and maneuvering over delegates and super delegates by the Clinton campaign will destroy her candidacy–its clear to me that’s helping Obama cut into Clinton’s base voters. I wish that some pollster would ask about it. I am eager to see the CNN debate on Thursday to see how Clinton addresses the […]
Two Best Campaign Websites: Huckabee and Obama
As much as I DON’T like him as a candidate, Mike Huckabee’s campaign website is terrific, and the one advantage his site has over Obama’s is that almost everything is above the fold. Huckabee’s site also features strong calls to action, fund raising efforts, timely featured content, blog posts, and check out those social […]
Do You Support BO?
Do other people besides some commenters on the Las Vegas Gleaner refer to Barack Obama, a candidate they seem to support, as B.O., the initials many Americans use to refer to the physical condition of Bromhidrosis, or “body odor?” Does the Obama campaign need to do some grassroots work here? If supporters are […]
Edwards Could Endorse Hillary Clinton: SEIU to Endorse Obama
I’ve been saying for a while now that I wouldn’t be surprised if Edwards chose to endorse Clinton because of her health care plan, or really, because of his dislike of Obama’s health care plan, but now that ABC News is reporting it, its actually news:
But notwithstanding his often caustic criticism of Clinton, on a […]
No You Can’t: John McCain Video
Look, there’s another mashup of Obama’s “Yes You Can” video. This one is by Lee Stranahan is called “No You Can’t.”
Isn’t the internet great?
