Thumbnail image for Organizing Equality Under Obama, No Better Than Being Under Bush?

As I stated in “Marriage Equality Through A Netroots Nation Looking Glass,” I was at Netroots Nation, a progressive conference, this past weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada. My partner, David Badash, and I took part in quite a few panels/caucuses/and discussions about the LGBT movement and where it should/could be heading. After listening to the [...]

With the addition of Argentina’s adoption of same-sex marriage, America is increasingly on the wrong end of many lists.

Is Obama Pro-Business? Do You Really Want A(nother) Pro-Business President Anyway?

July 9, 2010 3:52 PM by David Badash

Conservatives LOVE to play stupid word games. “Pro-life vs. Pro-choice,” for example. Now the buzz is all about how Obama is “anti-business.” Well, he’s not, but on the other hand, do you really want a pro-business president, especially after the last one, and especially after we’ve seen what deregulation and lack of enforcement have done [...]

(Image and caption on Michelle Malkin’s website. Nice, huh?) While extreme Right Wing bigot and self-hating demagogue Michelle Malkin complains about her parenting responsibilities, tweeting, “I am my kids’ summer day camp chauffeur. My minivan needs a meter. ,” her guest blogger Doug Powers penned this nasty piece of homophobic, right-wing ridiculousness: “Google to Pay [...]

What Is It With The GOP And Chickens?

Thumbnail image for What Is It With The GOP And Chickens?

Maybe the GOP Should Change Its Mascot From The Elephant To The Chicken? It started at a local New York City TV station last September, but went viral quickly. His name is Ernie Anastos, and he is a local FOX News anchor. It clearly was a slip, but on-air, he said, “Keep f*cking that chicken.” [...]

Tell Paul Ryan, GOP Darling, Cancer, Not Progressivism, Is Cancer

My father had cancer. Twice. We were lucky. The first time. The first time they caught his colon cancer early. The second time, the doctors were too late. It spread throughout his body, despite all the chemo he underwent, several times a week. We were lucky. The doctors gave him six months to live. I [...]

Proof The GOP Is The Party Of No Morals And Grand Hypocrisy

As I wrote ““Faggot,” “Nigger,” “Baby-Killer,” “Boo!” Welcome To The New GOP,” I had planned to do a follow-up, explaining why I used the actual slurs in the title and body of the piece, rather than refer to them in other ways. But this is not that. Come back later for it! Instead, I want [...]

Yesterday, hate-mongering radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh told his 13.5 million dittoheads he was moving to Costa Rica after health care passes. Reader Matt Dean responded by sharing with me the following from Internationalliving.com: Costa Rica’s Government-Run Health Care System “With a government-sponsored network of more than 30 hospitals and more than 250 clinics [...]

Watch: Maddow On Why We Should Never Negotiate With Republicans

Thumbnail image for Watch: Maddow On Why We Should Never Negotiate With Republicans

Tonight, Rachel Maddow proves that the GOP does not negotiate in good faith. The GOP’s plan for healthcare reform was the individual mandate — when healthcare reform was being debated under President Clinton. 11 Senators are trying to get the public option back. Orrin Hatch is a liar. Charles Grassley is a liar. Eric Cantor [...]

Ronald Reagan, the closest thing to a deity, aside from God, the right wing has, was the president of the United States when HIV was first diagnosed — and nicknamed — “the gay plague.” He would have been ninety-nine today. He will have been dead six years this June. The right-wing remembers him as America’s [...]

There. I said it. Like so many Americans with at least half a brain, I am sick to death of ignorant, stupid jackasses who think they know what’s best for America. We all know them. The ones who don’t read — but claim to. The ones who can’t name the founding fathers — yet use [...]
