Time for Obama's Justice Dept to expose these Traitors under Bush's Patriot Act.

The Southern successionists want a civil war, the Christo-fascists want to be raptured and every republican wants his hand in American's pockets.

Time to grow a pair Mr. President and crack some heads.

'why don't you have any lips?' chickens have more lips than this guy. sheesh.

Christian conservative republican = hypocritical sociopathic fascist!

I'm really hoping that Van Jones can focus on exposing idiots like Pence, Beck, Hannity, and all the other right wing haters. I think he'd probably be very good at it, and this is something that is sorely needed. That's one thing repugs and conservatives are good at.....spreading lies and attacking their opponents. We need someone who can focus on doing this and make these jackasses a national issue.

when they are CHANNELING THE MINORITY.

Two heads of the same damn snake. Both are getting fat paid and their pockets are of more concern than the American Taxpayer who elected them.

That's why they can't act like the Majority they are. Now it's time for us to tell Harry and Nancy that they don't have any more excuses for not doing what they promised us. PERIOD.

They can start by showing Rahm "Poster Child for AIPAC" Emmanuel the door as Chief of Staff cause he's setting Obama up to FAIL.

Ok, maybe crackhead isn't the right term for Bush, but if you go back and and look at Bush's speeches keep an eye out for his Hula Jaw - a sure sign that something else is going on.

take a peek:

of the horrible things Van Johnson said, such as going green in the cities should start with going green in the ghetto and calling republicans assholes. And, OMG, he signed a petition and participated in a rally questioning the office 9/11 story. A very dangerous communist for sure.

Can anyone say Joseph McCarthy?

And frankly, Van Johnson was wrong to call the republicans assholes because he was incorrect. He should have called them fascists.

Im sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
Ive had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope

that Erik Prince and his blood money are involved in this. *snark*

How about Dogmatic, Hypocritical and Fascist? And Pence's extreme views have no room in America. I hope that him and his disgusting scumbag pal Prince wind up in the same cell in Leavenworth.

Moveon's slamming of betrayus, it voted to condemn the organization. It was akin to China condeming someone for speaking out against the governnment.

Why can't the Dems learn that it is ok to kick ass, if its good for the country. The repubs would do it if it was good for them alone!

It's horrible that Van Jones thinks that the government would conspire to do something evil, Fox says, and then tries to convince their viewers that the government is conspiring to do something evil.

You can say FU in the Senate Chambers if you're a rethug, you can kill as many people in a war or coming across a border if you're a rethug, you can lie, cheat, steal from anyone including your wife, if you are rethug. But say A((hol# and you get fired.
Democrats, get a spine and stand up before it's too late. The rethugs are winning without even trying.

"On Friday, Pence, who describes himself as “Christian, Conservative, Republican, in that order..."

Meant to say; "Douchebag, Hypocrite, Christian, Conservative, Republican, in that order..."

Redundant me thinks.

NO, Van Jones did nothing evil. Now squelching our Constitutional rights, broadly spying on Americans, authorizing illegal torture -- that's all good patriotic stuff to Fox and Pence, obviously).
Jones was simply being honest. Anyone with a brain can see that the investigation of 9-11 was botched at best, and that there needs to be a new and independent, science-based investigation. Signing a petition to establish simple clean justice is only sane.
And he was also right on this: some Republicans (and Democrats) ARE a$$wholes - if by that he meant something along the lines of sociopathic, deceitful, fascistic scumbags. But if he can use one word to say it all, why waste time on details?

as upset about the Palin family's secesionist group as they about this nonsense? Isn't seceeding from America worse than thinking the Cons had something to do with 9/11?

We, the people, can bitch, moan and complain all we want and it will not make one penny's difference. Look anywhere on the web and you'll find an over abundance of sites that do nothing but reveal right wing lies and treachery. Go to the comments section of those sites, as with right here at Crooks and Liars, and there is no shortage of rage, frustration, expressions of betrayal by the Obama Administration, and rightly so. We share our heartfelt feelings with each other day and night. On and on. If you want to know how progressives and liberals (I still can't figure out the difference between these two) really feel about the current environment just find the comments section on any liberal blog. Recently, you will also find a curious uptick in right wing, conservative, extremist viewpoints mixed in as well.

Those are devilishly worded in such a way as to infuriate, divide and muddle the debate going on at the moment, with disappointing success. Personally I feel simply ignoring those obvious plants rather than replying with a off topic angry rebuttal would be very effective at dwindling their increasing numbers. I took notice on several of the comment sections of liberal blogs and articles about the right wing orchestrated Van Jones non-flap. I found that the infiltration of what I call "Planted Comments" almost equaled comments made by people expressing thoughtful views, pro and con, but none the less attempted to be constructive. Every time a "planted" comment would appear, it was replied to by infuriated liberals so often it took away from any semblance of the intended debate, over and over again. Objective achieved.

But more to the point, all this is occurring amongst ourselves. The true level of liberal outrage goes no further than the comments section and maybe a few hundred emails from the more activist of us to congresspersons, advertisers, etc. It's the classic "Choir singing to the choir" along with the arguably minimal effect of those emails. The truth in the basis of our outrage does not go out to the millions of ordinary people we want to think we are reaching. Hoping then that the simple logic and rationale of our argument will have an impact against the onslaught of the "Twilight Zone" trash being widely spoken, written and broadcast by an unfair, dishonest mainstream media. You know, the media that actually is consumed and believed by the unintellectual, incurious masses. The truth of the matter is the liberal/progressive argument has almost no effect and the obvious reason is no one knows anything about our side of the debate,as least not any true or accurate presentation.

Until we figure out a way to weasel in on the locked and blocked public discourse that is now dominated completely by deranged talkshow hosts, lying corrupt politicians and compliant interviewers, we will get nowhere with a progressive agenda. Nothing will be "changed." And finally we will loose our best opportunity to restore America to sanity, fairness and actual accountability for those that would destroy everything and anything to advance their narrow corporate and political playbook. A playbook that doesn't happen to include anything but gross enrichment and one-sided power grabs. A playbook that makes further erosion of the democratic process necessary to succeed. Civil liberties have also proven to be a petty obstacle to obliterate.

Our voice is missing as part of a fair and equal agreement. As part of the intended equation of factors involved in our democracy. As admirably and hard as Crooks and Liars and so many other web sites try to make meaningful change and broadly effective differences in our crumbling existence, it is not enough to tilt the scales in favor of truth, honesty and a just and fair outcome. We have to do more to crack the stranglehold on truth and justice that the titans of "The Mainstream Media" have stolen from America. And we must finally realize and accept the "Whatever it Takes" cornerstone attitude will work for the good guys as well. It seems to have come to that. So be it!

Scahill is becoming one of our better "investigative" journalists, a redundancy since investigating is what a good journalist does. I quit reading Matt Taibi of Rolling Stone when he became a bit too shrill. He was amusing at first, but his rants now sound sometimes childish. Scahill nailed the Blackwater story and made it his own, and like any good journalist he's following up on the trails, wherever they lead. I just hope the special prosecutor is taking note of the same outrages.
