Graham and the Republicans are busily twisting Murkowski's arm, desperately courting her vote. The common wisdom appears to be that if Murkowski votes for Graham-Cassidy, so will Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. But the desperation to pass something, irrespective of whether it's a workable piece of legislation (and it's not), has apparently forced Graham to make one of the most imbecilic deals in the history of Congress.

Who exactly does the NRA represent -- its card-carrying members who were mostly in favor of expanding background checks or the gun manufacturers who thrive on being able to easily sell their machines of death?

It's one thing to suffer a momentary lack of self-control after losing a simple game...
But it's another thing entirely to engage in this kind of silly, irrational behavior as a business owner, politician or political pundit in reaction to the results of an election. It's no surprise the Republicans are doing exactly that.

Throughout his gripping new book, Philadelphia Daily News reporter and blogger Will Bunch augments the notion that Glenn Beck is playing a fictional character named "Glenn Beck." A faker. Specifically, Bunch draws together evidence indicating that Beck is nothing more than a morning zoo deejay whose latest money-making stunt is to portray a new kind of televangelist, offering political and religious salvation for profit.

SHARE Monday, April 26, 2010 Glenn Beck: the Televangelist Con Man Selling God's Plan for America
If religious zealots blur the line between what happens in the pulpit and what happens in Congress, it's that much easier for Congress to tax and regulate what happens in the pulpit. Be careful what you wish for, Beck and Palin.

Glenn Beck is engaged in a carefully orchestrated performance that, if taken to its logical end, can only end up in tragedy -- a tragedy, not in the name of some great political or social or religious cause, as too many of his viewers might believe, but rather in the name of pure careerism and greed.

Racist hate groups are at record levels -- rising from 926 in 2008 to 932 in 2009, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Teabaggers & hate mongers who turn up regularly on right wing radio & increasingly in the New York Times seem to be OK with looting the treasury & illegal wars as long as a black guy isn't in charge.

(2 comments) SHARE Thursday, August 20, 2009 Bipartisanship porn
I'm not so thrilled to announce that there's a new kind of "porn" in town. What we've been witnessing during this health care reform process can easily be defined as "bipartisanship porn." It's a display of bipartisanship so obscene and excessive that it borders on perverse.

What the far-right appears to suggest is that ideas that are supported by 82% of Americans are criminal acts of tyranny, and an eventual tax increase of pennies on the dollar for the wealthiest 2% is worthy of opposition by revolutionary means.
