Really, GOP? Dems are Anti-Woman?
Daily Kos (Free subscription) | 11/15/2009
Media Matters has the astounding story of two Republican women accusing the Democrats of being anti-woman in the healthcare plan. [W]riting in the Washington Times today, Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) had the audacity to complain that pro-reform Democrats don't care about women : As congresswomen, we think we should be listening to and speaking out for women. If Democrats...

Obscene holocaust exploitation, teabagger-style
The Reaction (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009
By (O)CT(O)PUS Notice this poster that equates Holocaust victims with national healthcare reform. Protestors displayed this poster today at a rally near the Capital steps, an event sponsored and organized by House Republicans. More than tasteless hyperbole, it goes far beyond all boundaries of civility and decorum. It is obscene to exploit the Holocaust to score a political point, and it offends me...

Anti-health care protesters sink to a new low
The Modern Left (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009
I have written previously about how the right is using fear tactics in their attempt to stop health care reform. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), compared health care reform to the threat of terrorism: I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country. Yesterday, protesters at the GOP anti-health care rally were spotted holding...

Nearly a year after House Republicans created a much-ballyhooed committee on earmark reform, it has done nothing to repair the notoriously unethical—and often corrupt—method of publicly funding pet projects for the politically connected. In fact, eight of the 10 Republicans who serve on the highly touted Select Committee on Earmark Reform have continued to seek earmarks and so have the...
