Ground Zero "Mosque"

1. It isn't a mosque.  It is going to be a community center with YMCA-like facilities plus a side of religious bullshit.
2. It isn't at ground zero.  You have to go two blocks away and around a corner.
3. You know who is funding the damn thing?  The Saudi prince al-Waleed, also known as NewsCorp's second largest shareholder, made donations to the organizations trying to build it.  NewsCorp is the parent company for Fox News.

Now, even if it was a mosque being built at ground zero, I would argue that we can't block it legally because it would be unconstitutional.  However, I would argue it is in poor taste to build such a facility in such a scenario, but that scenario isn't happening.  This is a lame attempt to fabricate news and make the president look like even more of an evil Muslim to the idiotic masses.

It is Opposite Day inside the dangerously tiny mind of Michele Bachmann

Michele Bachmann decries the Obama administration's net neutrality plot on Fox News:

They're advocating net neutrality which is essentially censorship of the Internet. This is the Obama administration advocating censorship of the Internet. Why? They want to silence the voices that are opposing them.

For anyone who doesn't know about Net Neutrality, it is the exact opposite of that.  Without it, there is nothing to prevent ISP's from controlling and potentially censoring content instead of just providing connectivity.  There is also a potential for ISP's to market premium packages and artificially add in costs for accessing popular sites that they actually have nothing to do with.  Without it, we will most likely see the market get distorted and turn it into something resembling cable TV in addition to de-democratizing the internet and providing a means to implement corporate-controlled censorship.  She is a mouthpiece for the large ISP interests, and she is actively trying to thwart something that provides free communication.  Boo this woman.

Palin's Stupidity Reaches New Heights

She criticizes a "lamestream media outlet" in a segment on Fox News (who she works for) for distorting the recent AZ legislation.  She forgot that the "lamestream" outlet was her employer.

At least they are willing to put their money where their mouths are even if it was a mistake.

Conservative tea party terrorists get violent

A Republitard rams his SUV into a car with an Obama bumper sticker to punish the father and his ten year old daughter. 

Their cries of violence are nothing new.  Video taken at a tea party last april shows a protester saying "nothing better than a dead liberal!" and other gems from the video include a woman saying the only reason she didn't protest during Bush's term was because Glenn beck hadn't been around to help them organize.

HEALTHCARE NIGHTMARE OMG ZOMBIES!

Judging from what people are saying on-line, the world just ended with the passage of a health care reform bill via the reconciliation process.  Except that these people mostly know nothing about what is actually in the bill.  There is a cool tool that tells you how you will be affected, and it was specially designed to be so easy Republicans can even use it.  This was a historic bill in my opinion.  It wasn't perfect, but it is a step in the right direction. 

Some of the things that people mistakenly believe about the reform are as follows:

• Their income taxes will go up 40%.
• Baby killing will take 5 seconds, be available at gas stations, and get federally funded.
• Whatever insurance you have now will be degraded while costing you more.
• SOCIALISM!!!!

The truth is more like:

• No.
• Obama is going to sign an executive order to prevent abortions from being covered.
• No.
• YOU DAMN RIGHT SON!   I AM GONNA SIT AROUND AND LEECH OFF YOU!

The reality is that health care is so expensive now that when people work at reasonable jobs that don't provide reduced price health insurance, they often cannot afford it because of it's cost to buy outright.  Also, I would wager a guess that entrepreneurship is threatened because nobody wants to try to start a business knowing they won't be covered for those few years when they are getting things off the ground.  Now, the bill won't really help in the latter scenario, but hopefully a future public option might.

Conservative bigots make a "mistake" to demonize homosexual couple

I think the Florida Family Policy Council newsletter staff must peruse 4chan in their spare time after seeing what they "mistakenly" put in their newsletter as a picture of a lesbian adoptive couple.

OMG, please let it pass so Rush can be gone forever.
