As any general or football player knows, blurting out your strategy is, well … just plain stupid. And so our strategist-in-chief won’t do that. And I shouldn’t either, but he needs help with those demanding that he blurt — call ’em the Blurters. In a nutshell, Obama doesn’t want to go it alone against ISIS, he wants help from Muslims. This is best for America. By a lot. But if he caved in to the Blurters, … [Read more…]
Code Pink vs the Republicans vs Obama
Apologies for the email about this old post — technical difficulties.

| Code Pink. Not Medea. |
The UN reports that ISIS is training boys of ten as child soldiers and girls as sex slaves, crucifying children and burying them alive. Obama calls ISIS “a brutal, vicious death cult that, in the name of religion, carries out unspeakable acts of barbarism”. But don’t worry; Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin explained her plan on Fox News (quotes below): Stop bombing and call a conference of the allies! Extremist Republicans have their own plan: First call them “Islamic” (instead of “violent”) extremists, then change the goal from Obama’s “degrade and destroy” to “destroy and crush.” Read on, it gets better.

|Teasr was here.|Paul Ryan: The Republicans Got It Backwards
According to Paul Ryan in this Sunday’s New York Times, “We’re six years into the Obama economic policies. … The wealthy are doing really well. They’re practicing trickle-down economics now.” Trickle-down economics is, of course, the Republican view that giving tax cuts to the rich will let them hire more poor people and some of the wealth will trickle down to the poor. All along the Republicans have been accusing Obama of practicing class warfare against the rich, but actually he has secretly been [Read more…]

| Andrew Wakefield: fraud |
Progressives who refuse vaccines for their kids might be shocked to learn they had been duped by the Tea Party. But that’s exactly what has happened, thanks to Tea Party congressman Dan Burton and an English doctor who was paid $668,000 to fake his data.
The English and some Europeans fell for this quack doctor with dismal consequences (2013 epidemic). Most Americans have been less gullible. But it’s still good to remember that vaccinations will prevent an estimated 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations and 732,000 deaths during [Read more…]

No one should be surprised that Michael Moore is out helping the conservatives again. Not that he wants to. He just loves the publicity too much — no matter how stupid his comments, or how much they damage the left. This time, referring to the uber-popular movie “American Sniper,” he called snipers cowards. Last time, he said Obama’s only accomplishment was being the first black President. His sniper comment is idiotic and [Read more…]

MoveOn just voted 81% to 19% to pit Elizabeth Warren against Hillary Clinton in the primary. But members were given only 24 hours to discuss and decide how to vote, and the ballot consisted of a strong but entirely one-sided argument for voting yes. What do we think of governments that only allow one side to have a say? And who would have guessed that [Read more…]

|Teasr was here.|Michael Moore continues to help the Tea Party
Moore just tweeted, “Cuba 1, USA 0. Congrats on winning.” and “Cuba’s pissy whiny neighbor grows up. Thank u Obama.” Hate radio and the Tea-Party are loving it, as well they should. It will offend most, and polarize America as much as any right-wing talk show host. Those of us who want a kinder and more peaceful nation need to speak out against those like Moore, who sabotage our efforts (remember he backed Nader, who threw the election to Bush). [Read more…]

In May 2011, John McCain made his own investigation into the claim that CIA torture produced the information that led to finding bin Laden. He went straight to the CIA and was told the claim and the “facts” that supposedly supported it were false. [Read more…]

| Bush, Dec 8, 2014 |
In 1988, Reagan signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture, which stated that torture could never be used under any “exceptional circumstances, whatsoever.” When doing so he concluded by saying, “By giving its advice and consent to ratification of this Convention, the Senate of the United States will demonstrate unequivocally our desire to bring an end to the abhorrent practice of torture.”
George Bush understood that this is how the American people feel about torture, which is why he felt compelled to say “This government does not torture people. We stick to US law and international obligations.” (Fox news clip, 0:52, “Oct 5, 2007). [Read more…]

| Schumer messaging |
For his party, it made no sense, but for Schumer, it did. Everyone from Krugman to the Republicans has pointed out that NY Senator Schumer’s attack on Obamacare was wrong and a bit crass. So why did he do it? There’s no word on that. So zFacts looked into it. To add to the mystery, Schumer has been the Dems top messaging guy (chairman, Communications Committee) for years. So this was no accident. To figure it out, let’s check the timing. [Read more…]
