Which is different than how most other bills are passed. #congress

If its so wonderful, then it'll still be wonderful in a month, and at least we'll all know exactly what's in there. #congress

Actually, it's totally unsurprising to me that the Republicans can't read. Literacy...not for dummies.

It's amazing what numbers the wingnuts do find important. Palin's Facebook "fans" are frothing at the mouth that she will soon hit 1 million, as if that's some major accomplishment. There's a group on Facebook where some guy will turn his house into a pirate ship if he gets 1 million fans. He's approaching the 700,000 mark. So...when he hits 1 million, does that mean we should elect a pirate to the White House in 2012? Cause a million people really seem to like pirates. Arrrrgghh. #congress

It's time we started calling bullshit where it's warranted. This country has a ton of problems (as always) and somebody has to be the goddamn adult and say talk of socialism and fascism is ridiculous, especially when those same damn people couldn't tell you the differences between either.
I call bullshit!

If you're in the South and you object to the N-bomb it's like trying to quit the mafia.
And save it, apologists. If you're white you know damned well why Wilson flipped out. Don't waste our time with excuses.

So surmising that his outburst came from his fairly well documented racist mentality is by no means a stretch.
Then again, Jimmy Carter has always gotten shit on by the American people for telling the truth. As Pareene alludes to above, we sorta kinda really hate that shit.

It doesn't serve his agenda. He wants to get health care passed, along with a number of other initiatives. He wants to solidify the prospects for his party.
And while he spoke eloquently during the Reverend Wright imbroglio, it was of necessity, not desire.
Does America need a more honest dialogue about race in this country? Certainly. Does such a dialogue serve the legislative and political goals of the current administration? Almost certainly not.

Let's not forget that the same vitriol was present during the Clinton years and it had the same origins. People were as determined in their fight to get rid of Clinton and claimed he wasn't their president too. Only this time, what was thinly coded racism is not only back, but with a vengeance.
