For Republicans, Lying is Part of the Routine

More examples of how the Right makes things up. I have been trying to tell you all... they're crazy. But they are crazy and organized...which is what bugs the hell out of me.

Shirley Sherrod - set up by the right wing and fired unjustly

From W.E.E. See You

Many media organizations are rushing to seek repudiations of Shirley Sherrod from African-American leaders such as the NAACP’s Ben Jealous who quickly renounced Sherrod.

Before throwing Ms. Sherrod completely “under a bus,” I hope that they will consider the following remarks from the wife of the farmer whom Sherrod was supposedly “half-heartedly” helping.

The video in question originally shown on Fox turns out to be a FRAUD.

In case you want to see the videos in the Shirley Sharrod scam/fraud.

whiterosebuddy had a suggestion:

Here's Tom Vilsack's phone number at the USDA. Perhaps we should politely call and tell him what we think:


202-720-3631
Dept. of Agriculture: (202) 720-2791
I called, pressed 8, and then left a voicemail.


some more phone numbers suggested by WordSmith:
White House Ph. #s:
Comments: 202-456-1111
Switchboard: 202-456-1414
FAX: 202-456-2461

Get the entire Sherrod speech, hear comments from the White farmer, and see other videos under the fold.

Fruitcake Michelle Malkin Claims Obama Runs Culture of Corruption - Attacks Michelle Obama Too

On NBC's Today Show she claimed that Michelle Obama made it thanks to racial quotas (in other words... she was never qualified for anything).

My question is... why does the national media give these crazies a platform to spew this poison? Legitimate opinionated Progressives can't get on the airwaves...but Conservative loons are on all day and night...on both TV and Radio. There is no shortage of them. It's amazing.

This is why Progressives need to own their own networks...from top to bottom.

While it's true that Obama has surrounded himself with questionable characters...indeed cronies (I myself have criticized this), I don't think there is any comparison to Republicans when it comes to corruption. As bad as Obama's staff and Cabinet choices are, and as much of a walking contradiction he is on the issue of "insiders", his Administration is light years away from the cronyism and corruption that we witnessed under the Bush-Cheney Administration. It's not even apples and oranges. But Rethugs have to use propaganda to sell books (and the national media always willfully helps to peddle this stuff... it's poisoning the Country).

She also states that Obama is ruining the economy, lol. Uhhhh, earth to Michelle Malkin... the last Republican Administration, with the help of their allies in big business and on Wall Street, already ruined the economy long before Obama became President. I guess she had blinders on during the last few years of the Bush Administration. There is no possible way that she could believe her own nonsense.... instead what she is trying to do is take advantage of the American public's short and fickle memory... to trick folks into believing that the bad economy is Obama's fault. Malkin and her fellow Republican spinsters are of course glossing over the fact that Obama inherited an economy in severe recession and in some respects in a depression. Or the fact that the recession began in December of 2007.

What's scary is that this Right Wing propaganda campaign is actually starting to gain traction. More proof that the nation's education system needs an overhaul (I have been saying this for years). With an American public this clueless and gullible.... this Country is in serious trouble.

The Right Distorts Michelle Obama Quote

The Right has been going overboard misquoting and only half quoting what Michelle Obama said in a speech in Wisconsin.

Now, hmmm.....I wonder why I don't see the ENTIRE quote in the Right Wing, as they try and smear Michelle Obama, and they only took this snippet: for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.

For those of you who are confused, here is the quote, IN ITS ENTIRETY:

Here is Michelle's entire quote:

"What we have learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback. And let me tell you something -- for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I've seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues, and it's made me proud."
