Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) fired up the Netroots crowd with one of her now-familiar red meat-tossing, flame-throwing speeches. The speech is being touted as the launch of her 2020 presidential campaign.
Warren railed against moderate Democrats...
Ever since the White House leaked Thursday night that Sen. Chuck Schumer would be coming out against the Iran deal, the progressive movement has foamed at the mouth with vitriol directed Schumer’s way.
Much of it...
One of the big secrets of the Democratic Party is the deep racial tension between the mostly white elite progressive leaders and activists “of color.”
We examined this in detail in 2011,
I guess “Progressives or Parody?” is now a series.
First there was “White Guys: We Suck and We’re Sorry” — Parody or Not?:
Then came Let’s play: Progressive or Parody?, regarding the #EndFathersDay prank Twitter hashtag started at 4Chan which liberal feminists thought was real:
The vitriol from the political left didn’t take too long to manifest following the 5-4 Supreme Court decision this morning in the Hobby Lobby case.
Goodness gracious. RT @SheaDiamond: F**k you

We have noted before the extreme eliminationist rhetoric directed at Republicans and the Tea Party by the most senior Democratic politicians, who portray the House’s exercise of its constitutional power of the purse as terrorism.
That rhetoric has also moved into mainstream liberal publications. What was once expected only of DailyKos or...
Salon.com, which is quite White, has pretty much turned itself over to White liberals making ridiculously overbroad generalized complaints about Whites and White Privilege to get attention.
Maybe the David Sirota Award?
“xaxnar” diarist at Daily Kos, April 16, 2013, The Right Wing Media Is Nervous:
Charles P. Pierce noted today that the conservative media wing nuts are freaking out over anything or anyone that suggests what happened in Boston at the Marathon just might, might have anything to do...
Anthony Weiner is being rehabilitated in preparation for a run for Mayor of New York City.
Seth Mandel at Commentary:
When a popular Democratic politician leaves office under the cloud of scandal and disgrace,...
Had I but world enough and time, I would write something original about the sickeningly stupid argument that the Tobacco industry and Koch brothers began planning for the Tea Party movement over a decade ago and long before anyone had even thought up the Stimulus and Obamacare legislation which actually sparked...
There’s no Saturday Night Card Game tonight.
I was going to write about some “Neo-Confederate” idiocy by a pretend lawyer who happens to be quite obsessed with me over at the liberal blog Glenn Greenwald calls ” a cesspool of unprincipled partisan hackdom.” When you are a liberal blog and Glenn Greenwald calls you those names, you...
Marco Rubio is on the short list of Republican presidential contenders for 2016. Of course, that’s a long way away, so who knows if he remains on the short list.
So Rubio’s a target even more so than in the past couple of years. Every question in every interview is a potential...
Just when you thought it could not get any worse.
MoveOn.org and Michael Moore have produced a video which is beyond description.
Can we just declare MoveOn a mental illness so it can be covered (under Obamacare, of course).
Video (h/t NRO) NSFW (language warning):
Makes the creepy singing children and Lena Dunham...
Noted University of California – Berkeley economist J. Bradford DeLong has figured out why Mitt Romney is so far ahead in the Gallup tracking poll of likely voters.
His theory is that Obama supporters like him are only now figuring out where to vote, so they do not pass Gallup’s likely voter screen. Apparently,...
It truly is hard to overstate the joy on the left with Obama’s horses and bayonets “zinger” last night.
This summary at HuffPo reflected...
I really sense that Obama supporters are losing it, completely. I sense fear in their stupidity.
After Big Bird and the contrived “binder” fauxtroversy, they have a new cause: Tagg Romney threatened to take a swing at Obama when Obama called Tagg’s father a liar.
Of course, the entire quote makes clear this...
The class clown of the academic internet is beclowning again; must be he’s upset with my investigation into Elizabeth Warren so he attacks the only way he knows how. Rather than address the merits, he picks a three and one-half year old post of mine and calls me names. Class act.
So I thought...
