The Republicans may have won huge victories in New Jersey and Virginia on Tuesday, but Time's Joe Klein still thinks the GOP is " an extremist shard of a party that is essentially a regional southern party in the country ." I guess the 66 and 60 percent of independents who voted for the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia and New Jersey respectively on Tuesday are also part of...
On CNN's Reliable Sources this weekend Joe Klein called the GOP "an extremist shard of a party that is essentially a regional southern party in the country and doesn't have broad appeal to the mass of Americans." This comment - made in the wake of Republicans picking up two governorships last weekend on the back of [...]
From the comment section of C&L: Fleischer on CNN Tue, 11/03/2009 - 19:16 — fastfeat Can we finally nix guests, hosts that call the Democratic Party the 'Democrat' Party? I'm truly sick and tired of the hosts being limp-d*&ked on the terminology. Networks that cover politics should at least have their "experts" get the name of the party they are talking about correct. Is that...
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the toast of Jerusalem on Sunday morning. And with good reason. Here's the question from Saturday night's press conference that has made all the headlines this morning (emphasis added is mine). Joe Klein, Time Magazine: I wanted to ask you “Why is this night different from all other nights'”Clinton: Do you want us to burst into song?Klein: For forty...
In the tradition of Walter Duranty, Herbert Matthews, and Joe Klein, Steve Clemons interviews the mass-murderer Khaled Meshaal. One hard-hitting question from Clemons: "[Are you] a Palestinian patriot or a Muslim patriot?" See it to believe it ......
DOWNLOADS: (41) PLAYS: (466) Bill O'Reilly is still all worked up about the White House's "war" on Fox -- which, actually, he says he hopes end soon. Yeah, I'll bet he does. I'll bet a lot of people at Fox are not happy that we are having this national conversation right now and kicking over all kinds of rocks. You never know what turns up when you start looking at Fox's record, do you?...
The other day Joe Klein wrote: Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue. Bill O'Reilly asked Klein to come on his program and back up that claim, but a rep told O'Reilly that Klein was "unavailable." Now [...]
" Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue ." So wrote Time's Joe Klein Friday at the magazine's Swampland blog in a piece intended to be the columnist's critique of the Administration's recent demonization of the Fox News Channel. Comically, with virtually every admonishment of the White House's...
Steve Benen found a good one . Looks like the wingnuts are so eager to find "proof" for their theories about Obama, they don't even bother to check the source. Can't say I'm surprised! Right-wing pundit Michael Ledeen published an item this week on Barack Obama's "college thesis," which Obama allegedly wrote as a student at Columbia 25 years ago. Leeden cited some website, which...
Obama Bombshell Redistribution of Wealth Audio Uncovered Obama, release your thesis. Basta! So the tittering hyenas on the left are howling at the moon over satire that was taken for the real thing by Denis Keohane over at The American Thinker and Michael Ledeen at PJM where he reported on President Obama's Columbia alleged college thesis, "... the Constitution allows for many things, but what...
I agree with his overall point (though not his characterizations of Fox or any of its personalities). Tactically, I don’t think the Obama administration is doing itself any favors with its war on Fox News. But sedition? Yikes . I don’t understand why the White House would give such poisonous helium balloons as Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity the opportunity for still greater spasms of self-inflation...
Joe Klein counsels White House restraint on Fox, but isn't the White House already restraining itself in not prosecuting Fox's sedition? Klein at one point says Fox "borders on sedition," but apparently its lies actually are "seditious." And Klein uses these words after stipulating that he's going to be "precise." Can someone tell me why the self-styled high-minded defenders...

WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE?.... Time's Joe Klein is the latest of many high-profile media figures to criticize the White House for daring to consider Fox News a partisan news outlet. Like many of his colleagues, Klein doesn't question the accuracy of...
