Rhode Island has just become the 4th state to officially call for a U.S. constitutional amendment:
"to effectively overturn the holding of Citizens United and it’s [sic] progeny and to permit the governments of the United States and the several states to regulate and restrict independent political expenditures by corporations and wealthy individuals."

Who is bluffing? Left or right, or both? The conservatives, Pro Israel Americans, hawks, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and some Christian fundamentalists portray military threats to the United States as the great challenge to the United States. Most recently, Beck has talked about an EMP attack against the United States. He did not invent the idea, nor did the author he is presently promoting.

On MSNBC's Ed Show on Monday night, Ed Schultz attacked Mitt Romney for failing to disagree emphatically with a voter who said Obama should be tried for treason. "For all his faults, at least John McCain [in 2008] had the guts to talk down the crazy. Four years later, the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party doesn't have the character or leadership skills to correct conspiracy theories on the road at an event? Romney didn't address the treason accusation at an event until a reporter grilled him about it."

Now that the two men and their campaigns have fully engaged, the rhetoric has quickly become even more personal. And as they seek to energize their supporters, both sides run the risk of alienating independent voters often say they are turned off by vitriol.

Oh, please.
I get the sense that Curl’s eyes widened when he realized he had an opportunity to criticize the president on something the “cool” kids were talking about…as opposed to, you know, the usual policy stuff that actually matters.

The defeat Tuesday of Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana in the Republican primary -- trounced by a Tea-Partier -- is one more nail in the coffin of the GOP's conservative wing. Conservative? Isn't Lugar a hands-across-the-ideological-divide bipartisan moderate?

Incendiary headlines are one of the many Nazi-inspired techniques the less-than-humble Rush Limbaugh likes to use. Here’s one I found on his website recently: Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Passes Law Allowing Husbands to Have Sex with Dead Wives Up to Six Hours After Death

December 2011 was a busy month for supporters of presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. The former speaker of the House had surged ahead of his Republican rivals in several polls. Suddenly he was being barraged by negative TV ads produced by Restore Our Future, a Super PAC for rival candidate Mitt Romney.

Last night, driving home from the gym, I caught a minute-long segment of Michael Savage with which I actually agreed. It starts about 5:50 in the recording below. (I provide it simply for proof.) Basically, he rants that the best bread and coffee are in liberal havens like Berkeley and the worst are in conservative places like Waco. Thus, he concludes, one must forsake good bread in the places one wants to live.

There are good boycotts and bad boycotts, writes Bradley Smith in the May 2 Wall Street Journal. The good boycotts, primary boycotts, actually target an organization that has done something wrong—National City Lines, for example, which ran the buses in Montgomery in 1956.
