The unhinged left becomes unhinged. Film at 11.
Darn those right wingers for daring to oppose the leftward march towards the ineptocracy!
The 4 people who read Mother Jones agree.
does anyone really read this rag?
this non-profit rag with all the employees making 6 figures, such egalitarians
No one else can be that subversive.
I'm reckoning Jesus is going to win in the END!
Oh, those dastardly Repubwicans!
Sad how those supposedly unsophisticated Louisiana men come off as much more appealing than your average MSM wimpoid liberal.
Mother Jones is a crazy old woman.
Their desperation smells like cat pee.
“Take back America”. Unwittingly they admit, it was ours to begging with.
Who knew?
I hope they do a companion piece on how the Commie Left is using sex, drugs and rock and roll to destroy America before we can take it back.
Damned right, and past time, too! Been too long since I cheered the 1996 election night, though that did not result in all that much.
Begin the long march.
That’s nuts. Try the economy the loss of jobs the Middle East Russian relations forex crashes ISIS Ebola and so much more.
Flogging the usual social topics is a loser.
Here inside the beltway of washington dc many churches believe that christians are within about 2 generations of coming under open persecution.
Well, that does about sum up the reality of it.
He forgot Chick Fil A.
Pundits declared the culture wars over, and that the far left won. The far left fringe response? The same as ISIS taking over a town - they started shooting innocents in the head. It's no wonder conservative Christians are rushing back to the front lines.
If America's enemies had held their fire instead of ordering bakers, photographers, ministers, and other ordinary, decent Americans to actively endorse perversion, in violation of their God-given and constitutionally-protected right to the free exercise of religion, it might have been a permanent defeat for decency. If Obamacare thugs had simply consolidated their step toward single-payer instead of trying to force nuns to pay for abortion, the communists would have expanded Big Government and won another battle. If ISIS had held their fire and just consolidated power instead of motivating their opposition, they might have taken all of Iraq. Apparently, evil thugs can't delay gratification, not even briefly.
Note: I know I'm being unfair. The thugs of ISIS, evil as they are, don't deserve to be compared to Obama and his followers.
Some of the more interesting things about Mother Jones:
“For the first five years after its inception in 1976, Mother Jones operated with an editorial board, and members of the board took turns serving as managing editor for one-year terms. People who served on the editorial team during those years included Adam Hochschild, Paul Jacobs, Richard Parker, Deborah Johnson, Jeffrey Bruce Klein, Mark Dowie, Amanda Spake, Zina Klapper, and Deirdre English. According to Hochschild, Parker, “who worked as both editor and publisher, saw to it that Mother Jones took the best of what could be learned from the world of commercial publishing”.
In 1981, Deirdre English was named the magazines first editor-in-chief, a position she held until 1986. A strong feminist, she brought womens voices to the fore in the magazine and oversaw considerable coverage of Central America, the Sandinistas, and the Contras. She also brought in Barbara Ehrenreich as a regular columnist.[citation needed]
Michael Moore, who had owned and published the Flint-based “Michigan Voice” for ten years, followed English and edited Mother Jones for several months. After being fired in the fall of 1986, Moore sued Mother Jones for US$2 million for wrongful termination, but settled with the magazines insurance company for US$58,000 only US$8,000 over the initial offering. Moore felt that he did not have a chance to shape the magazine. Many of the articles that were printed during his time as editor were articles that had already been commissioned by Deirdre English. An article by Paul Berman about Nicaragua, which was slightly critical of the Sandinistas (Mother Jones generally supported the Sandinistas) was one of those articles commissioned by English. Moore did not want to print it, but the magazine had made a commitment to Berman. The Nation columnist Alexander Cockburn believed the disagreement over the Berman article was the sole reason for the firing, but Hochschild and others at the magazine denied this.
For his part, Moore claimed in his 1989 documentary film Roger & Me that he was terminated because he put the face of Ben Hamper on the cover of an issue, an act of defiance after being refused an opportunity to write about the GM plant closings in his hometown of Flint, Michigan.[citation needed]
Douglas Foster, an Emmy-winning TV producer and a writer who had covered labor issues for Mother Jones in the 1970s, followed Moore. Fosters magazine featured regular columns from Molly Ivins, Roger Wilkins, and Ralph Nader. During his tenure, the magazine excerpted Randy Shilts’ groundbreaking book, “And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic”.[citation needed]
In the fall of 1992, Jeffrey Bruce Klein, one of the original editorial team, returned as editor-in-chief, bringing an intense focus on Washington politics, including extensive coverage of Newt Gingrich, campaign finance, and the tobacco industry. He was a frequent guest on radio and television shows, spearheaded many collaborations between the magazine and website, and brought comedian Paula Poundstone on as a regular columnist.
Roger Cohn succeeded Klein as editor-in-chief in 1999. Cohn brought to the forefront environmental and social justice stories from around the country. It was during his tenure that the 25-year-old magazine won a 2001 National Magazine Award for General Excellence.
Russ Rymer was named editor-in-chief in early 2005, and under his tenure the magazine published more essays and extensive packages of articles on domestic violence (July/August 2005),and the role of religion in politics (December 2005).
In August 2006, Monika Bauerlein and Clara Jeffery were promoted from within to become co-editors of the magazine. Bauerlein and Jeffery, who had served as interim editors between Cohn and Rymer, were also chiefly responsible for some of the biggest successes of the magazine in the past several years, including a package on ExxonMobil’s funding of climate change “deniers” (May/June 2005) that was nominated for a National Magazine Award for Public Interest reporting; a package on the rapid decline in the health of the ocean (March/April 2006), and the magazine’s massive Iraq War Timeline interactive database.
The first post-baby boomer editors in the history of Mother Jones, Bauerlein and Jeffery have used a new investigative team of senior and young reporters to increase original reporting, web-based database tools, and blog commentary on MotherJones.com. The cover of their first issue (November 2006) asked: “Evolve or Die: Can humans get past denial and deal with global warming?”
David Corn, a political journalist and former Washington editor for The Nation, is bureau chief of the magazine’s newly established D.C. bureau.[13] Other D.C. staff have included Washington Monthly contributing editor Stephanie Mencimer, former Village Voice correspondent James Ridgeway, and Adam Serwer from The American Prospect.”
Yep, THAT Michael Moore.
