      The Right has a weird, obsessive fascination with Saul Alinsky, someone who is almost unknown to the American public. I think the Right hates him because he describes them so accurately.

      SeannietheSissyBoy didn't mentioned that sometimes, you change for the good of the country. But why should he? It doesn't fit his wierd agenda. Seannie, you demonize yourself by being one of the biggest stooges on radio/TV.

      SPECIAL INVESTIGATION!!!! I repeat, the Cons looking for the TRUTH!!! Seannie is so inept that he couldn't find Wilt Chamberlain at a midgets picnic. (No offense intended to small people).

      I had a feeling this was going to be posted. And what they describing as "Alinskyesque" can be called pragmatic or playing politics.

        It could be called that if it were accurate. But it's not. Obama's supposed allies have criticized and satirized him. Also, the Cramer/Stewart business arose because of a dispute between the two of them, not Obama.

        He's dealing with an economic depression, two wars, choosing a cabinet and a supreme court nominee, Israel, North Korea, Venezuela, illegal immigration, war crimes of a past administration, environmental concerns... and still finds the resources to put together a "ridicule campaign" against his political critics?

        You have to admire someone as capable as that, and think that he must be the right person for the presidency.

        But ridiculing people at the white house correspondents dinner? My God! What kind of fiend would do such a thing?

      here, here, and here

      These are but three small examples of the complete and total hypocrisy of the right-wing mindset!

      There are of course many thousand more examples...

      To the meat of this post -----> I wonder if Sean "The dumbest bastard on TV and radio" Hannity and this bug Geraghty realize that Colbert and Stewart..... ARE COMEDIANS!!!

      Also, please... anyone... find even one example or piece of proof that President Obama attacked a conservative the way the two knuckleheads are accusing him of... anyone... Bueller?

      This is all courtesy of the same folks who mocked Hillary Clinton's "vast right-wing conspiracy".

      I guess irrational conspiracy theories don't have party or ideologic affiliation, but this is especially apt coming from someone who has made a career out of being irrational.

      I never even heard of Alinsky until the conservative idiots like Hannity and O'Reilly started talking about him. Geez, he's been dead for 37 years. What these fools like Hannity $ O'Reilly do is go out and ready comments from anonymous internet bloggers on the Daily Kos and the Huff. Post and say the liverals are all mad at Obama and are full of hate. Far as I know it could be Hannity and O'Reilly writing some of those comments. What they do not do is read the articles by the folks who work at thos sites. It is also becoming very obvious that these guys all conspire to talk the same subject over a few weeks trying to hammer bs into people. As for anyone thinking Obama is a flaming ultra left wing liberal? Only persons I have ever heard say that are the right wing nuts like Fox and talk radio. The way I look at it, you can't please all the people all the time. GWB left me unpleased for 8 years. I guess Sean misses his bj's from GWB and Cheney.

        terrapin, if we may comment and correct you on the above post. Your last line is not really truthful. We all know that SeannieTheSissyBoy is one of the first to describe himself as a teabagger so you have given out misinformation. Please describe his little secrets in a reasonable fashion.

        Thank You
        GWB and Dick

      How many times has Sean referred to President Clinton as "Slick Willy" or inserted a hiccup between "Ted" and "Kennedy"? This guy has no credibility. Didn't Coulter call Edwards a nasty name for gay? Fox is acting like an adolescent boy who discovers Catcher in the Rye and thinks it was written about him.

      OT but I wish MMFA would start covering Dr. Monica Crowley, who was on one FNC program I flipped through last night. She has a radio show broadcast during the 3PM-6PM time slot EDT wherein she constantly refers to President Obama as "The Bama." I play a game where I tune in and wait for it to happen. Doesn't take long.

      Once again the conservatives are projecting. The repubs truly DO outsource their plots through the likes of Fox News and all kinds of conservative groups.

      It seems like literally every criticism they level at dems is projection. It's really quite amazing.

      Except that Colbert, Stewart, and the others named make fun of Obama. A lot. And guess what? They're funny.

      Campaign outsourcing to The Daily Show/The Colbert Report? Both of these "fake news TV shows" have "real news reports" and C-Span to back up their funny finger pointing and proofing of falsehoods in the news. Obviously, Geraghty recognizes the highly intelligent Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert with their comedy spin on reality. No one could outsource to Jon or Stephen a political arm twist. Geraghty is afraid of how powerful the independent "fake news TV shows" are when they backup their comedy with actual PROOF.

        Poor Sean can't tell the difference between having your own words held up for scrutiny and being demonized. Stewart went after Cramer for claiming everything was rosy and buy, buy, buy right up to the crash. Had absolutely nothing to do with Obama. Cramer has proven his worthlessness by, after sheepishly claiming on The Daily Show he probably should tone it down a bit and do his own research instead of lip-synching the corporate memos he gets fed, has gone right back to the cheap cheerleading tricks.

        But the way they throw in the idea that Stewart was defending Obama against Cramer as a way to support thier claims is typical of the circular reasoning they often use.

          I suspect he is very lazy and it would be too much work to do research.

          He probably has to spend all his free time explaining to his children why on a daily bases people are pointing out what a liar he is and how stupid he is. Quote "The provable and relentless stupidity of Sean Hannity." unquote.

          Does anyone demonize anyone more than Sean tries to demonize Obama?
