The Consequences Of Words

January 14, 2011

I'll have more to say later about the perpetrator of the Tucson massacre. For now…..conservatives have been correct this week in pointing out that there is no evidence that Jared Loughner had any truck with Tea Party groups in Arizona nor that he was directly influenced by Foxian rhetoric or Sarah Palin crosshair maps. Having [...]

Beck: "Lord Sending Wakeup Calls"

September 2, 2010

Go here to see the charlatan's speech from last Saturday. I'll get to Beck in a minute. First…. What accounts for this? More than 60% of Republicans surveyed by CBS last month had an unfavorable view of the faith, compared with 25% of Democrats and 39% of the total sample. And this from a new [...]

Tomorrow's BeckerHead Event

August 27, 2010

The AB Journal loves themselves some Tea Party…..so they decided, once again, to give front page coverage to the mostly affluent, mostly white, mostly middle-aged, mostly male, and entirely sore loser group. Glenn Beck and the Tea Partiers. Together in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary date and location of MLK's "I Have [...]

Glenn Beck Agrees With The Reverend

July 31, 2010

I know. It kind of scared me a bit, too. A week ago, I wrote about Glenn Beck's role in a shooting in Oakland, California. Beck wasn't the trigger man. The shooter was Byron Williams, a Beck program viewer. When arrested, Mr. Williams told police "his intention was to start a revolution by traveling to [...]

More "Refudiating"

July 24, 2010

Earlier in the week I referred to Sister Sarah's humorous Tweet about "refutiating" the building of a mosque within a couple blocks of Ground Zero. The feedback I received, as I understood it, was that building a mosque so close to Ground Zero would be insensitive to New Yorkers, 9-11 victims families, and super-patriots everywhere. [...]

How Glenn Beck Promotes Violence

July 22, 2010

Yesterday it was conservatives inciting the political lynching of Obama administration blacks through the evil, bastardizing of a video tape by the slimy, slug, Andrew Breitbart. Today, it's a new episode of Inciting Violence Against Liberals with moderator Glenn Beck. This is ugly… Anti-government shooting suspect Byron Williams has been charged with allegedly opening fire [...]

Please, Explain This To Me

February 27, 2010

Hypothetical: There's a homeless man, laying against the side of a brick building absorbing the warmth of the early morning sun. Two white collar workers walk by on their way to the office. Seeing the homeless man, each white collar worker, in turn, walks over and kicks him. They laugh about it for a couple [...]

Master De-baters

December 12, 2009

Remember the Oscar quality performances by Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe while trying to entrap ACORN employees into saying something embarassing while being videoed? Giles and O'Keefe, both lackeys for Fox, became overnight winger sensations….the new young wingnut-media patriots. Here's the video if you need to brush up on the story. Immediately following the amateurish [...]

Looking Back: A Review

November 13, 2009

First it was Rev. Wright…then Bill Ayers….with all the accompanying non-biased, and Pulitzer-Prize-caliber reporting. Then came the "Hillary Clinton was cheated," narrative suggesting (wrongly) that she had more primary votes than Barak Obama. All this was followed by "Obama's only a celebrity like Paris." Then came the "how can Obama overcome his problem with white [...]

A Case Study In Disinformation

September 26, 2009

In a capitalistic society like ours where even "news" is consumed according to brandname, FOX, NBC etc, just like Cheerios or Wheaties……disinformation becoming rampant, I guess, is inevitable. Today's capitalistic information providers seem to be pulling off the impossible, i.e., convincing Americans that they can have whatever facts they so desire. A kind of designer-news-and-information [...]
