Frits1942 posted a new topic: Monday 30 November 2009 by: E.J. Dionne Jr., Op-Ed Washington - The most surprising and disappointing aspect of our politics is how little pushback there has been against the vile, extremist rhetoric that has characterized such a large part of the anti-Obama movement. President Obama's administration has largely ignored those accusing him of "fascism" and "communism,"...

Fallows isn't giving up on the theme. And Ambinder jumps in. Marc Lynch says that the commentators are getting it wrong on Arab disappointment with Obama. Maybe we can make this a blogstorm, although too many of the blogs have swallowed the conventional wisdom. An account of the negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev over the unification of Germany that shows why details are important. The "agreement...

A liberal Washington Post columnist laments today of the loss of civility in the public discourse. Strange that he is suddenly outraged that Americans would dare call Obama a socialist or a fascist, given that Bush-Hitler comparisons were widespread during the previous administration. Liberals in the media spent the summer and early fall bemoaning signs at town hall protests and tea party rallies...

Nine year old Gramm-Leach-Bliley cracked the foundation of Wall Street. It turned ten today, which means only three more years before the bill becomes an adrenaline fueled teenager. Be sure to thank all those voting to break down the walls between financial institutions. For a trip down memory lane: Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers praises the legislation, declaring that the law “will better...

Steve Benen's right: Isn't Obama supposed to be the most bloodthirsty, partisan, ruthless President ever? I mean the nerve of him, appointing yet another well-respected Republican to his administration like Chuck Hagel. Obama named him as co-chair of his Intelligence Advisory Board today. If memory serves, Hagel is the seventh Republican to take on a fairly significant role in the Obama administration....

While the National Endowment for the Arts has attracted attention as a propaganda arm of the Obama administration, the National Endowment for the Humanities has so far escaped such attention. Have we missed something? The new chairman of the NEH is former Republican Rep. Jim Leach. Leach supported Obama during the campaign and must have had dreams of office higher than the chairmanship of the NEH....

Jonathan made a good point the other day: bipartisan support of health care reform should be about finding Republicans to back health care reform, not about compromising with anti-reformers. To that end, the White House has rolled out a few more, post-Frist: former HHS secretary (and former Wisconsin Gov) Tommy Thompson, and NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg. Both 'endorsements' were pushed from the White...

RINO - Republican In Name Only Who are these Republicans? There's many. Sarah Palin, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney..etc. There are many of them who are just statists; believe in big government, and are ok with big business sleeping with the Govt no matter the cost to the people. Like many politicians on both sides of the corridor; they are in the pockets of special interest groups. So sad....

"In this era of Internet blasts and ornery town-hall meetings," National Endowment for the Humanities chairman Jim Leach "wants to buck what he considers one of the 21st century's most insidious trends: the end of civility. It's something he's been harping on since the mid-1990s. 'I am appalled by the notion of cultural wars,'" he says....
