tell the lies long enough and loud enough...

emphasis added:
FILE UNDER: IOKIYAR

After eight years in the White House (with Snopes.com around all that time), George W. Bush has been the subject of 47 internet rumors. After less than two years in office, Barack Obama has been the subject of 87, or nearly twice as many.

Even more telling is the relative accuracy of those stories. For Bush, 20 rumors, or 43%, are true. Only 17, or 36%, are false. The remainder are of mixed veracity (4), undetermined (4), or unclassifiable (2).

In contrast, for Obama only 8 of the 87 rumors, or 9%, are true, and a whopping 59, or 68%, are whoppers. There are 17 of mixed veracity and 3 undetermined.

how close did the last regime come to destroying our democracy, part 1 too many plus 1

SRSLY, folks... the director of homeland security wasn't in NATIONAL security council meetings????? "pushed" to raise the security alert to influence an election?????

and people are critical of the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION? sheesh.

via US News and World Report:

Ridge was never invited to sit in on National Security Council meetings; was "blindsided" by the FBI in morning Oval Office meetings because the agency withheld critical information from him; found his urgings to block Michael Brown from being named head of the emergency agency blamed for the Hurricane Katrina disaster ignored; and was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.

...and the RIGHT (and tea baggers and town hall protesters parrot their talking points) have the audacity to call the Obama administration "fascist" and compare our president to Hitler??? somebody get those people a DICTIONARY.

balls vs. no balls...as presented by jon stewart via the selling of war vs. selling health care reform

as awful as the shrub regime was, team obama needs to go to their playbook on "message management 101".

BLOW JOB! SHE SAID BLOW JOB!!!1!!

Clinton lied, nobody died.

the "money shot" comes at about 3:30...PRICELESS!



suck it, beyotches.

cue republiCON fauxrage in 3...2...1...

first our president had the audacity to take his wife to NYC for dinner and a show...

...now our vice-president has gone to iraq to support and encourage the troops reunite with his patriot son, beau biden.

how DARE they use public funds for "personal use" (oh, and shrub was clearing brush in crawford for 497 days and spent 487 days at camp david...BUT, iokiyar, don'cha know.)

get a brain, morans.



yes, the only thing more irritating to me than "fierce advocate's" abdication of his support for the GLBT community is the sense of entitlement and fauxrage by the republiCONs.

on this memorial day...

...let us never forget the brave young men and women who sacrificed their lives in the bush/cheney/rumsfeld/halliburton vanity, pre-emptive, unnecessary war for profit.

my original intent was to copy and paste the list here. the list exceeds blogger's 1MB size requirement, which speaks volumes.

4300 reported coalition deaths. click here for the list. once there, click "DoD Confirmation" to see how startlingly young most of these kids were when they were killed.

a gross underestimate of 45,000 iraqi civilian deaths. those are only the deaths reported by various news agencies, according to icasualties.org.

merely stumbling upon this site for this posting has left me in a puddle of emotions.

peace.
