HOW DOES THE REPUBLICAN SMEAR MACHINE WORK?
DownWithTyranny! —
Watch how Fox coordinates its vicious and racist attacks against Michelle Obama, spreading Republican Party poison on behalf on John McCain: You'd almost think Karl Rove is still coordinating the McCain campaign-- or has someone else in place who is. Some think vicious racism just comes sort of second nature to the GOP and it isn't even just Rove and McCain and the Fox imbeciles. Just look at what the New Jersey Republicans have been caught doing today.

This is how the heroes die. All the pathetic pusillanimous losers in the Senate who caved on FISA, take note please.
From ThinkProgress:
Today, the Senate chamber erupted into loud cheers when Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) returned to cast his vote on long-stalled Medicare legislation. Senators gave Kennedy, who has been battling a brain tumor, a long standing ovation. As he registered his vote, Kennedy said in a loud voice, “Aye,” and made a thumbs-up gesture. Watch it:
In a statement today, Kennedy explained ...
Fear of the Black Woman
Brilliant at Breakfast —
If there's one thing the media hates more than a strong liberal woman in politics, it's a strong liberal woman who's gorgeous, successful, in what's clearly a loving marriage to a presidential candidate -- and black: They should have lost all credibility with "terrorist fist jab."
Anti-Fox hounds rally ’round Michelle-O
Michelle Malkin —
Gosh, this Alyce woman is one angry lady. But by Alyce’s own argument, Alyce should be mad as heck at Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama chose to go to Princeton and Harvard and Michelle eschewed the many fine Black colleges that she should have attended. And Alyce should be mad as heck that Michelle Obama chose to work for the lilly white blue blood law firm of Sidly & Austin. Sidley & Austin is about the whitest law firm around. Its client rosters are large insurance companies and pharmaceuticals. Most of the lawyers there are in fancy country clubs and enjoy their golf outings at nice private clubs. And the Obamas choose to live in the exclusive Hyde Park neighborhood, ...

Fox trashes Michelle Obama: The lowlight reel
Feministing —
via Michelle Obama Watch , this video from Brave New Films is a stomach-churning reel of all the vile Fox News clips about Michelle Obama. We've blogged about several of these individual incidents , but it's pretty appalling to see them all put together like this: Isn't it depressing that the election is still months away and already there are this many examples? Brave New Films has a rundown of what's in the video, and a petition you can sign to tell Fox to stop the racist, sexist smears.
BIll O'Reilly: "MoveOn Is The New Klan" (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
MoveOn.org is a web-based progressive political organization and the latest target of Bill O'Reilly's Talking Points segment. During the segment the conservative talk show host accused MoveOn of promoting racism, before drawing comparisons between the organization and "the Klan."
Previously, MoveOn had made a similar accusation against FOX (with less severe comparisons) on their FOX: Stop The Smears page.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said, in the course of covering the Obama candidacy, and I’m paraphrasing,
” He (Barack Obama) brings none of the ‘ bad stuff’, you know?”
By ‘Bad Stuff’, he meant the legacy of enslaving ...
O'Reilly Factor: Class Act Feminist Feldt Meets Frothing at the Mouth Ingraham
News Hounds —
Guest blogged by Julie
I thought nothing could make me long for Bill O'Reilly – except that I do, every time Foxette Laura Ingraham guest hosts on The O'Reilly Factor. Bill, please come back. With video.
In Friday night's (5/1) Culture War segment of The O'Reilly Factor, Ingraham blasted off with, “By now everybody in the world knows the story of Miss California.” Yes, we sure do, Laur, because bikini-clad Carrie Prejean was paraded all over Fox News: Courtney Friel covered it on April 20th; Fox News legal analyst Mercedes Colwin picked it up on April 21st; Neil Cavuto (the . . . business guy?) provided a Fair and Balanced ...
The Conservative Media Bias...
At-Largely —
For years and years all I have ever heard from the right-wing is that the mainstream media is "liberal" and has a "liberal bias." Buying into this politically birthed image, the MSM moved farther to the right and farther away from actual journalism, giving us the Iraq war and other horrors of the Bush years. Yet of all the unethical news organizations, tabloids, and propaganda outfits combined, none is more partisan, more unscrupulous, more unethical, more dishonest, than Fox News. The latest faux-victim talking point making the rounds is that the Obama White House has "declared war" on Fox News. The White House has not declared war on Fox News, although Glenn Beck ...
