Responding to allegations that Tea Baggers shouted out racist epithets, Fox News offers evidence that it didn’t happen. Namely, certain people standing in the crowd didn’t hear them. Also offered as evidence that nothing happened, the black Congressman who reportedly got spit on by somebody in the crowd didn’t press charges. Therefore it didn’t happen.
Squint your eyes a little and Capitol Hill was looking a like 1960s Selma, Alabama yesterday.
Quote from arch-conservative David Frum, former speechwriter for George Bush: “Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we’re discovering, we work for Fox.” Astute, if frightening.
It’s time for responsible and thinking Republicans to reclaim their party.
A Democrat spy snuck out a copy of the Republican National Convention fundraising PowerPoint, Politico reports.
The approaches described are not that shocking, considering the party in question, urging fundraisers to exploit potential donors’ fear and hatred of the current administration. What’s actually shocking is how sophomoric the thing is, with the authors pairing pictures of Nancy Pelosi and and Harry Reid with Cruella DeVille and Scooby Do, and a picture of Obama as the Joker from Batman.
Huh?
Why do Republicans suck at satire? I think Dennis Miller is the only one that’s funny and that’s a stretch. Oh, and Anne Coulter.
At least they had the good taste to not portray Obama as witch doctor, unlike some of their rank and file. I guess Michael Steele, as a fellow black man living in America, couldn’t bring himself to go quite that far.
