Democrats' Interests Are Special Too

Posted by Always To The Right on Saturday, January 23, 2010 11:58:37 PM
The Supreme Court has ruled that corporations have a constitutional right to free speech. But Democratic leaders refuse to accept the decision, and their predictable reaction is to undermine it. Rather than praising Thursday's 5-4 decision to reverse the 1990 court ruling ... More »

Obama’s Theorems
Many Americans still find Obama engaging. But they don’t believe what he and his elite friends say — about global warming, health care, Afghanistan, you name it.

Wonderful: State Dep’t already backing off Obama’s two-week deadline for Iranian nuclear inspections

The One laid down the two-week deadline yesterday at around 3 p.m. ET; this dispatch from The Hill was posted at 2:23 this afternoon. The big “ultimatum” didn’t last 24 hours.

A State Department spokesperson on Friday signaled the president’s mandate that Iran has two weeks to permit inspections of its recently unveiled uranium refinement plant was not “written in stone.”

“I don’t think that there’s a hard-and-fast deadline,” State Department Spokesperson Ian C. Kelley said during Friday’s press briefing, after a reporter asked what the consequences of Iran’s inaction might be.

“I think that we’ve made it quite clear this was a matter of some urgency; that we expected [Iran] to take urgent and concrete steps to open up this facility, and not only just open it up but also make sure that we were able to — or that the IAEA would be able to — talk to some of the engineers there and see documents and plans,” Kelly added.

No worries: Kelly promises that we’ll be coordinating with IAEA chief Mohammed ElBaradei, who, in case you missed last night’s Ron Paul post, you may recall is a notoriously corrupt Iranian stooge.

Nuance [Ron Paul]

Posted by Always To The Right on Saturday, September 26, 2009 11:55:51 PM

Ron Paul on Iranian nuke site: I’m tired of all this military-industrial fearmongering

As contemptible as this is, I’ve got two good reasons to spare you a harangue about it. One: I’ve already written that harangue, and after the summer coup in Tehran and another year of cheat-and-retreat on their nuclear program, it’s truer now than it was then. And two: Thankfully, this old crank’s isolationist denialism is so fringe on the right that not even mainstreamers who are sympathetic to his broader agenda, like Glenn Beck, will go near it. It’s almost not worth bothering about. But suffice it to say, in the unlikely event that the three-percent rEVOLution ever commands the foreign-policy agenda of the GOP, I’ll run — not walk — into the Blue Dogs’ arms

A few more choice quotes from Think Progress

I’m not sure what “lie” it is we’re being told about Iran, but then this is a guy so eager to see American “lies” at work vis-a-vis enemy powers that he’s been known to accuse the feds preemptively of telling them. Anyway, the point to take away about his Iran shtick is that it’s not an argument about strategy, i.e. “They’re a threat but non-intervention is the best way to stop them.” It’s an argument about facts, i.e. “There is no threat,” which it has to be because once he admits that Iran is dangerous his isolationist “solution” becomes impossible to sell. In that sense he reminds me of opponents of waterboarding, forced to insist that coercive interrogation never ever works because once they admit that it does, their absolutist opposition is politically dead on arrival. Conservatives complain frequently about Paul’s penchant for blaming America — and here, too, in the blockquote above, he’s already laying the groundwork to say “we started it” if and when Iran tries something — but his foreign policy, such as it is, leaves him with no other choice. The only way isolationism works is if literally any form of intervention against an enemy is morally wrong and just cause for disproportionate reprisal. Which is another way of saying it doesn’t work. Happy viewing.

Huffington Post Exploits AP’s Dying Soldier Photo

Posted by Always To The Right on Friday, September 04, 2009 6:55:59 PM
By Michelle Malkin  •  September 4, 2009 05:06 PM

What’s more shameless than the Associated Press defying the wishes of a dying soldier’s family and splashing his bloody body all over the wires?

Why, the Huffington Post reprinting a massively large version of the image on its front page with an accompanying blog commentary praising the AP photographer’s work as “tasteful” — along with thousands of comments praising the decision and calling for even more bloody US troop photos to be published.

***

And no, I’m not done with the AP yet. Blogger Ztower points out that the AP refused to reprint the Mohammed Cartoons because they were “offensive”
, but has no problem offending a dead soldier’s family for the Greater Journalistic Good of ginning up anti-war sentiment.

Slimeballs.

Daily Beast: Leon Panetta’s an incompetent moron who’s jeopardizing U.S. security

The Daily Beast is a center-left/RINO news outlet, so for them to kneecap The One this way is nothing short of shocking. So awful that I don’t even know how to excerpt it. Arguably the most damning story to emerge about Obama’s administrative competence since the inauguration.

Remember a few months ago when Panetta wet his pants about some supposed CIA plan to assassinate Al Qaeda leaders that Congress hadn’t been briefed on (but which had been public knowledge since 2002)?

I guess this is the next phase in the left’s strategy to demonize Republican opposition to The One: Now, not only is it racist to be angry about his programs, it’s downright threatening. Coming soon to MSNBC primetime.

Congressman Tells O'Donnell 'You're Illustrating Why MSNBC's Viewership Is In The Tank'

Video: Lawrence O’Donnell once again displays his mad interviewing skillz

You know, Lawrence, for your listeners, you're illustrating why MSNBC's viewership is in the tank because you don't allow your people you're interviewing to answer questions. And, you know Lawrence, this is why Katie and everybody else is going to Facebook, everyone's going to the Internet because why listen to MSNBC when you won't even let the people you're interviewing answer the question?
