I'm not looking for an apology from Chris Matthews for his race-baiting slander of American citizens, because he's shallow (a certified liar) enough to issue one just to make this go away. But between him, MSNBC's David Shuster (who suggested Neil Cavuto mistook the Million Man March for the "Dick Army"), and Keith Olbermann who hasn't the balls to read the Urban Dictionary definition of "teabagging" on the air, all the while having guests like Janeane Garofalo say that blacks like myself have Stockholm Syndrome because we dare vote in a way she wouldn't authorize, it's time to bring the...

The profane, but popular lefty site named "Wonkette" decided that it wants conservatives to die. Either that or it wants homosexuals that indulge a certain sexual practice to die, it's a bit hard to tell. In a post outrageously headlined "Teabaggers To Feign Death In Senate Offices, Because Of Whatever," the Wonkette crew snarks that "teabaggers" will appear in the Senate and will "pretend to die, because they're pussies, and won't die for real." Now, there is a bit of confusion here, as you can readily see. None who are going to the Senate to protest the anti-American Obamacare policies...

...Keith Olbermann plays the part of the sniggering seventh-grader. Notice how Mr. Olbermann can barely control his smirk throughout, even as he tries to pretend that he's having a grown-up discussion about the etymology of the word with his guest, Richard Wolff. Giving the lie to that pretense, Mr. Wolff, at the 4:04 minute mark, says, "...just to be serious for a moment..." Also note Olbermann’s pride in having brought the term to the forefront, and his modesty in asserting that it was only “with a little help from us” that the designation became popular, implying that clueless protesters embraced...

With the issue he has positioned to be his crowning achievement as president at a crossroads, Barack Obama once again called on his former rival to help him follow through. Former President Bill Clinton told a room full of Democratic senators Tuesday that passing health care reform — which he failed to do 15 years ago — is not only a moral issue but also “an economic imperative.” Clinton argued that even “the most cold-hearted person” ought to support health care reform simply from an economic standpoint. He reminded Democrats of the political momentum their failure to pass reform in...

"Is Anderson Cooper gay?" That's the big question once again circulating around the Web ... only this time it's not so much is he, but who is he dating and why hasn't he come out yet. Last week, Gawker, Page Six and Perez Hilton started buzzing about supposedly closeted Cooper's rumored new beau, and the glut of attention was accompanied by an almost crushing sense of déjà vu. Why? Because Cooper's sexuality is hardly a fresh topic. As Gawker's Brian Moylan said in an October 29th post on the subject: "Saying Cooper is gay is no longer a scoop. It's...

To read the way Jamie Duffy of NJ.Com gleefully tossed around the crude and childish term "teabaggers" seven times in a local story about a tea party in Morristown, New Jersey, you would think she was some snarky teenage intern who enjoyed using that vulgar pejorative. However, according to her profile, Duffy has been around a long time so she has no such excuse for her juvenile behavior in print: Jamie Duffy is a social correspondent for The Star-Ledger and MorristownGreen.com. She lives in Morris County with her husband and two sons. She spent 10 years abroad, two in England...
