Just When You Thought That You Have Heard Everything . It’s a pity but our Congress/Senate and the whole Obama administration is full of crooks, thieves, cheats, liars etc. so Dirty Harry Reid buying a Senator's vote isn't a surprise. I wish she had the integrity to say no but that is to much to ask of these crooked bastards these days.. . Honesty is a difficult commodity to find in Washington....
By David Swanson Congratulations are in order for Congressman and senate-candidate Mike Capuano of Massachusetts for openly acknowledging that Dick Cheney should be prosecuted for his crimes. Calling Dick Cheney a vampire recently helped Congressman Alan Grayson raise over 1/2 million dollars in a day. But for Capuano to light the sort of fire needed for him to win (or for Grayson to continue exciting...
It never ceases to amaze me that there are still people that promote leftist ideology when the facts ALWAYS point to them being stupid, inane, misinformed, irrational, and criminal. The ridiculous notion that leftists refer to themselves as "The Reality-Based Community" would be laughable if they were not so dangerous to the rest of us normal folks. While those of us that provide for ourselves...
From Crooks and Liars: MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan talks to Rep. Alan Grayson about the amendment passed by the House Financial Services Committee to allow an independent audit of the Federal Reserve. If Alan Greenspan is not happy about it, I take that as a good sign they did the right thing. It only took putting this country on the edge of financial ruin that we're not out of yet for the S.O.B. to ever...
Hello everyone! For those who I'm meeting for the first time, I'm Jason and I write for The Seminal as well as work for Health Care for America Now . John Amato has been kind enough to invite me over to Crooks & Liars for a little bit of liveblogging the Senate health care debate today leading up to the cloture vote at around 8 pm EST. I'll be keeping up with the debate in the Senate (on C-SPAN...
His many crimes, committed while he held office, are finally beginning to emerge. And they are most definitely crimes (in the sense that, you know, he broke the law, right - so, hey, he's not actually a pretty straight kind of guy after all. Right). But hang on, if they are crimes, and crimes they are, then arrest the shit, right? Anyway, this dynamite litany of Blairite deceit will be revealed in...
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was an inspirational man, a man who rallied and encouraged a brain-damaged war President through an illegal, ill-advised war with a country innocent of any wrongdoing against American interests by spicing up Bush's war briefings with Biblical scripture. Yes, Rummy was a man who inspired countless numbers of people but from where did Rummy get his inspiration?...

Mary Matalin "slaps" one on Sarah Palin | Crooks and Liars Time is the most valuable commodity on a campaign and you just can't waste it thinking about how to choose your words carefully or get your job done more diplomatically. If someone isn't in tears every day, that day wasn't all it could be advancing the campaign. I once witnessed an experienced (big) man slap a professional female...
John Amato at Crooks and Liars thinks so. His angle? With Fox News now routinely getting caught doctoring video and airing the misleading clips in its news reports, Amato thinks Rupert Murdoch's 'news' channel might be running afoul of FCC regulations. Specifically, Amato points to this FCC language: “Hoaxes. The Commission's prohibition against the broadcast of hoaxes is set forth at Section...
OK. I Only Have One Question... ...how did the homeless twenty-two year old posing as a high school student in order to get a college scholarship afford a freaking laptop? ______________________ Reason # 6,009: Why FOX News Is Not News The White House caused a mini-flackstorm recently when they openly called FOX out for being more propaganda than news. And they just keep proving the point: Yesterday,...
and they say that heads will roll. but you know they will list the names of those they fired and then put a (d) beside their name . fox has done it again, and this time, once again, fox says its misplay of the wrong crowd video was another regrettable mistake. - the swamp yeah..."regrettable" mistake. like giving the right wing talking point channel a broadcasting license in the first place?...
Crooks and Liars compiled Glenn Beck's most disturbing fearmongering moments. Beck compares the Obama administration to socialists, Nazis, communists and totalitarians. Never mind that these political idealogies have stark differences. Beck throws out code words to scare the shit out of people. Beck has Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and barely managed to graduate from high school. This man...
I know that's kind of a groaner of a headline. What it means is that the hoopla from the Radical Right/Republicans over health care reform is likely to seem like a lower-case tea parties compared to the s**tstorm they are likely to kick up over immigration reform. Pro-immigrant activists from Reform Immigration for America are sponsoring house parties for comprehensive immigration reform. The xenophobia...
Crooks and Liars The wingnuts are now linking Psalm 109:8 and Obama, in a new eliminitionist push, a new drive looking for assassins: Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Not really much imagination there, is there? Rachel Maddow speaks with Frank Schaeffer: MADDOW: Joining us [...]
