• GOP appears poised to take on entitlements

  Sun Mar 27, 2011

  • I'm going to put my mind back to his denunciation of the prosecutor as a partisan making groundless allegations, to his complete avowals of innocence, and all of his supporters being certain the charges wouldn't stick. Why did it take five years?'

• First Thoughts: How we got here

  Tue Nov 2, 2010
  • If the Health Care Bill is unconstitutional, then so is Social Security. So is every power that belonged to the Federal government since the Civil War. Your "facts" are simply wingnut talking points. I'm sorry that people have lied to you.

  Thu Sep 16, 2010

• The Plum Line - Media Matters to run ad on Fox News touting News Corp's $1 million donation to GOP

  Mon Aug 23, 2010
  • I think we see here a perfect example of the influence that Fox has on our discourse. JohnT abunchofnumbers makes a few bizarre comments based on "facts" that are "facts" because one of the Fox newspuppets said so, and that's his contribution.
