The BS Cairn: Gandhi would have hated these damn U of M students
I love it when right-wingers quote liberals in an attempt to undermine other liberals. They do this through sheer spin and twisted, self-inflicted ignorance. BS Cairn essentially asserts that the U of M students who took part in a sit-in to fight for worker’s rights (something I’m sure Gandhi would have opposed) are a disgrace to [...]

Though I would have preferred that Barack Obama not appear for an interview on a network that is openly hostile to Democratic candidates, for the most part he seems to have done well dealing with a much more hostile interview than, say, the President of the United States might have faced.

The quiz features fourteen questions and every answer is “Barack Obama.” “Barack Obama’s chief strategist,” etc., excluding two answers - one which was Glenn Beck, the other was Tucker. For example, Who claimed Hillary Clinton has [...]

McCain has come out against this ad, but the North Carolina GOP, despite an already deafening outcry, has opted to ignore him and run the ad. Howard Dean has an excellent strategy on this: Dean is framing McCain’s suggestion that the North Carolina Republicans do not air the ad as a test of his leadership, basically [...]
