I love it when Rush becomes everything he has railed against for years. Race-baiter and racism-accuser? Check.
Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates? “He’s a racist,” Mr. Limbaugh said. “He’s an angry racist.”
Sonja Sotomayor? “She’s a bigot. She’s a racist,” Mr. Limbaugh said.
President Obama? He’s “the biggest reverse racist in history.”
Always the victim/playing the victim card? Check. [...]

Rarely does one paragraph so perfectly crystallize so much of what is wrong with the media. But David von Drehle, you achieve just that when you write in Time magazine in your cover story about Glenn Beck and the 9/12 rally in D.C.:
“If you get your information from liberal sources, the crowd numbered about 70,000, [...]
The Southern strategy’s results

Updated below after the jump…
Digby points to this Hoover Institution paper by Christopher Caldwell from 1998, which pretty well spells out the dangers of the Republican Party’s Southern “values coalition” and leads to the rather depressing regional situation for the Republican Party.
Caldwell:
The most profound clash between the South and everyone else, of course, is a [...]

Yes, this is hilarious, but it is a caustic satire of not only arguments in favor of torture, but also specifically the media’s reactions to those arguments.
Note that:
The moderator only “presents evidence”; she does not judge it. Analysis is all about fallout and spin, not about whether the evidence proves anything.

Do I want my medical care to be like the post office? Hell, yes!

Recently, liberal commentators have expressed bafflement at conservative contentions that government-run health care (which the current Finance Committee plan is not, but lies are par for the course) will be run as inefficiently as the Post Office, with at least one libertarian commentator referring to the plan as “Post Office health care.” There’s ample commentary [...]
Why scientists don’t identify as “conservative”
Posted in Politics, Reality has a well-known liberal bias, Science on August 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Andrew Sullivan hits the nail on the head when it comes to interpreting this result from the Pew survey on science (which I profiled in more depth previously):
Sullivan writes:
“But it seems to me that scientists may simply be responding to the redefinition of conservatism in America as a fundamentalist Protestant religious grouping that denies evolution, [...]
New public polling on scientists (it’s a mixed bag)

The Pew Center has a new batch of polling out about scientists, taken by both scientists and the public at large. There are some very interesting findings in here. I’ll take them one at a time:
I’m not sure how to make sense of this one. On the one hand, we are viewed very positively, even [...]
That DHS report looking more prescient

A new study by the Southern Poverty Law Center reveals that at one neo-Nazi social networking site, at least 40 active-duty U.S. soldiers are members.
One particularly chilling excerpt:
One participant under the username “WhitePride85,” who said he is a 24-year-old staff sergeant from Madison, Wis., wrote: “I have been in the Army for over [...]

Rep. Steve King (R-Ia.) does not think we should acknowledge that slave labor was used to build the Capitol building because it would erode Christianity.
Seriously:
Our Judeo-Christian heritage is an essential foundation stone of our great nation and should not be held hostage to yet another effort to place guilt on future Americans for the sins [...]

Oh, The Corner, you never cease to amaze/amuse:
What does it say when the president of the United States is unable to acknowledge that the United States won the Cold War and broke the bonds of Soviet tyranny for nations of Eastern Europe?
“What does it say?” I think it says that we finally have a president [...]
