“Tucker and Neil present a huge opportunity to re-introduce civility to our political discourse. They are mature, sensible men who are very thoughtful and experienced with pleasant senses of humor and do not take themselves too seriously …” Continue reading
Dear Mr. President, The pomp and circumstance of your second inauguration is over, and the American people are ready to follow your lead, well then again maybe only 51% of us. Stay true to yourself, don’t allow the political tomfoolery of Washington DC deter you or hinder your resolve. The majority of America voted for you, not because of what we feared from a Mitt Romney presidency, it was because we believed in you. Mr. President we still believe in hope and change. We believe in the hope and change of an America where all people, no matter their race, creed, or sexual orientation have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We still believe in the … Continue reading
But, of course, that’s just the warmup. After a couple paragraphs establishing just HOW CLOSE Lowery is to President Obama, the Monroe County Reporter lowers the boom, that the Usual Suspects can lower the Reverse Racial Boom … Continue reading
Romney in denial, part 2… “I’m going to win Ohio. I’m going to become the next president, in part because I’m going to have the support of people in Ohio,” Romney told NBC News on Wednesday. A New York Times poll released Wednesday showed President Obama leading his Republican challenger 53-43 percent, but Romney insisted that he didn’t “worry about the polls.” Good luck with that Mitt… Even right wing bloggers see the writing on the wall. And, just take a look at this video to get a feel for what right wing leaning newscasters think about Romney’s campaign. The NY Times reports… Mr. Romney is facing mounting hurdles in these two critical states, which hold nearly as many electoral … Continue reading
Robert Stacey McCain doesn’t particular care for my reporting. McCain, who runs the blog “The Other McCain”, is one of the increasingly decreasing number of outspoken supporters of Ali A. Akbar, president of a group called the National Bloggers Club. I’ve written a handful of articles on the topic, and he took issue with one in particular – Romney Staffer Committing Charitable Fraud. First of all, he credits other people for my work. Then he apparently feels it’s relevant to include 750 words on Brett Kimberlin, the boogiest of boogie-men to the conservative blogosphere – not to mention someone I’ve never knowingly worked with, talked to, seen or even known much about. When he finally gets back to me, he … Continue reading
But the 101st Chairborne can’t be troubled to actually do this. Instead, a campaign of disinformation from the same people who brought you the DNC suppression, the “blog about Clint” day and the “SWATting” phony scandal of Memorial Day, who are at it again. Continue reading
Republicans may not like Democrats and Democrats may not like Republicans… but nobody likes an asshole. Recently I reported on the National Bloggers Club and two of its founders, Ali Akbar and Bill Murphy. The story has been simmering beneath the surface since June, when Akbar’s felonious past was revealed. In the past three months concerns evolved into questions about the integrity of the National Bloggers Club. It leapt into the spotlight three weeks ago, when progressive bloggers revealed that Team Romney hired Murphy as its Social Media Director. My three stories thus far have focused on Akbar and Murphy’s past associations, the dubious nature of NBC’s claims to be a non-profit, and conservative bloggers’ distaste for, and demands for … Continue reading
Bill Murphy, Mitt Romney’s Social Media Director, and his colleague Ali Akbar have ripped off a lot of people. They ripped off the Tea Party with the American Liberty Alliance. They ripped off movement Conservatives with the National Bloggers Club. They even ripped off Andrew Breitbart. But their days of making it rain misbegotten right-wing dollars may be numbered. In 2009 Murphy and Akbar worked together at American Liberty Alliance, an organization which collected “donations” throughout the summer while claiming they were just waiting for their 501(c)3 application to go through. It never did. Then they worked together at National Bloggers Club, a group which solicited “donations” for the past six months while actually calling itself a non-profit (status pending). … Continue reading
