Yesterday, viewers were shocked to not only see an attempt to pie Rupert Murdoch in the face -- but also his wife, Wendi Murdoch, valiantly and violently defend him.
What if Robert Johnson and BET were the ones accused of hacking instead of Rupert Murdoch and Fox News?
Nearly every potential Republican presidential candidate either has or had a contract as a Fox News Contributor: Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee. Ailes' conservative loyalty is evident and so is his tolerance for suspect news practices, with African-Americans often the intended victims.
What if the TeaPublicans loved their country more than they hated President Obama? What if the real republicans took their party back?
I mean for the love of God...these Republicans are that afraid of the Tea Party? Is Boehner that much of an impotent prick? Get control of your idiots! A bunch of people dressed in costumes who don't understand how to govern, that's who you are going to let dictate how to run the government. It's amazing, truly amazing.
What if the media informed instead of misinformed?
What if we had shared sacrifice instead of sacrificing the poor, disabled and the elderly?
Our savage economic inequality in this country is coming to a head. We talk about "spending cuts," as if what we're not really talking about is "making the poor pay more for stuff." We talk as if the services that are cut will be picked up by the aching states and cities. And we talk about nonsense like "shared sacrifice," as if that's the rational position in any of this. When the wealthy actually sacrifice something, we can talk about sharing.
What if this were America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, where all people were created equal and had equal rights?
I'm just saying.
