POPSMichele Bachmann:Is Swine Flu A Coincidence? ( A Democrat Is President) http://www.thestar.com/living/article/625225 "Human outbreaks of swine flu – an illness caused by types of viruses that are typically endemic to pigs (hence the name) – can occur, but are typically rare. The last time there was major public concern over swine flu in the United States was in 1976, when a soldier at Fort Dix died and millions of Americans were immunized as a precaution." http://www.philly.com/philly/news/homepage/20090428_U_S___concerned__as_swine_flu_rages.html Check the source for some more Bachmann claims that are proved false...again.

POPSHate-Mongering Conservative Commentators Use Swine Flu To Promote Racism!
"What happens if there's a rash of deaths in Mexico... and if you're a family in Mexico and people are dying and Americans are not, why wouldn't you flood this border?" announces Glenn Beck. These loud mouths are also trying to convince their audiences that Islamic terrorists have somehow been able to do what has eluded scientists elsewhere in the world — concoct a deadly new flu virus — and then introduce it into the Mexican population. "What better way to sneak a virus into this country than to give it to Mexicans....then spread a rumor there there are construction jobs here, and there they come," blathers Boortz. the first American cases of swine flu have turned up in New York City students who recently returned from a trip to Cancun, Mexico — they brought it with them. They're the human mules! American tourists returning from Mexico are at this point virtually all the other culprits spreading the new flu! The fact that this new flu is just an excuse to spread racism becom

POPSPirate Hostage Slams Rush Limbaugh "You gotta get with us or against us here, Rush," Murphy said. "The president did the right thing...It's a war.... It's about good versus evil. And what you said is evil. It's hate speech. I won't tolerate it."

POPSOlbermann Offers Hannity $1000/Second To Be Waterboarded Sean "waterboarding isn't torture" Hannity can now prove his claims. He can prove it to all of us. He's been saying loud and clear that waterboarding is not torture. I can hear a little fear in his voice on this clip when he's asked if he'll do it.

POPSSarah Palin: Another Ethics Complaint Filed b) The recent partisan trip to Indiana by the Governor was purely to benefit personal interests, had no benefit for the State of Alaska and was in direct conflict with her official duties. c) The Governor left the State to participate in these events during the most critical end-of-session Legislative activities, at a time where the legislators themselves are not permitted to leave. Let’s see…(counting and running out of fingers)…that makes an even dozen ethics complaints. What should we call this one? Where’s Sarah Gate?

POPSRush Limbaugh Lies: McCain Says He Provided Intell While Being Torture (Not True)
Elsewhere in his memoir, McCain recalled providing false information to his captors on multiple occasions in order to “suspend the abuse.” Further, McCain explained in a 2005 Newsweek column that he believed torture would yield little actionable intelligence. “In my experience, abuse of prisoners often produces bad intelligence because under torture a person will say anything he thinks his captors want to hear — whether it is true or false — if he believes it will relieve his suffering,” McCain wrote. McCain was right. As the Washington Post reported last month, the torture of Abu Zubaida — who was once thought to be a high-level AQI operative — did not foil “a single significant plot” and provided the CIA with a number of “false leads.” “We spent millions of dollars chasing false alarms,” one former intelligence official told the Post. Further, “most of the useful information from Abu Zubaida — chiefly names of al-Qaeda members and associates — was obtained before waterboarding was

POPSJoe Scarborough Mocks Torture He is so condescending in manner yet truly knows nothing. He just doesn't have a clear view of what's going on. With all the researchers he has at hand, he comes up with this dribble? He and Glenn Beck need to have a good cry together.

POPSJoe Scarborough Claims Obama Is Targeting Veterans
What if Dick Cheney decided that he was going to target liberals? … Can you imagine what certain newspapers and cable news shows would do if George Bush and Dick Cheney decided to target democratic loyalists, and say that they may be a terror threat? Of course, DHS already wrote a report on “left-wing extremists,” completed earlier this year. “This is the job of DHS, to assess what is happening in this country, with regard to homegrown terrorism, and determine whether it’s an actual threat or not, and that’s what these assessments do. This is nothing unusual,” a DHS official told Fox News. More importantly, the report did not target “conservatives” or “Republican loyalists.” Indeed, it’s odd that conservatives like Scarborough would willingly group themselves and Republicans in with “rightwing extremist activity, specifically the white supremacist and militia movements” — the actual focus of the DHS report. Scarborough is not alone in this lumping, however; yesterday, Michell

POPSMichael Steele's Attack On President Obama The RNC letter noted that Mr. Obama while in Europe had said the United States has displayed "arrogance" at times in its foreign policy. But Mr. Steele said it was that it was the former senator from Illinois who was "arrogant". Michael Steele defines, "arrogance".

POPSFOX And Senator DeMint Worried ACORN Will Protest Their Tea Parties (LOL) MEGYN KELLY: Here you go, I’m just reading exactly what they say. ACORN calling this thing, that they’re going to have rallies of their own and saying that they’re going to promote Barack Obama’s economic policies and saying everyday the conservative movement concocts a new fantasy about ACORN, but that they support President Obama, including I guess his taxation policies. It's protesting for them, and "disrupting" if anyone protests them.

POPSMichael Steele, Head Of RNC Laughs Off The Recession FTA: The DNC released a statement today, to express dismay at Steele's glibness over the state of the economy. "This callous statement just proves how out of touch the Republican party is. Michael Steele may be worried about his ability to get a reservation at the latest DC restaurant, but there are too many Americans worried about just putting food on their kitchen tables. While the Republican party may think the pain being experienced by families - pain caused by the economic policies they championed - is a laughing matter, what isn't a joke is that they still continue to offer nothing other than those same failed policies," said DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan. But here's the thing that tells me that Steele is operating a few bricks short of a full load. How does it help Steele's party to try to insinuate that the economy is doing better?

POPSSarah Palin Vs Levi Johnston "Bristol's focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence," the statement continues. "It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child." The statement ends, saying, "Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions." It's pretty sickening to use a child for political gain when their baby was used on the national stage and it appears Levi got the old shotgun treatment to attend the RNC Convention."

POPSRush Limbaugh: If Obama Fails, America Is Saved He's not worried about us, he's worried because he falls into the category that will have to pay more taxes. Rush, just reach in your tight pockets and pay up. I've got little sympathy for someone that's trying to save himself while the rest of the country starves. That defines the word, "pig" pretty well. Thing is, the folks that listen to this dolt, don't realize he's using them to line his pockets even further, while wanting us to keep on paying what we can't afford to pay any longer. I've been on both sides of this issue like a lot of people. I've paid an excessive amount of taxes, and I've been defined as middle class during another time in my life. I can't say that it ever occurred to me to be upset at the thought of paying a little more than most. After all, if you make more, it doesn't really affect you at all. Of course, if you're greedy like Limbaugh, that's different. Everything is relative.

POPSSteele Claims He's Done With President Obama!
Con't: And the latest poll is telling us that Murphy (D) now has a 4-point lead in that race. With Steele's job possibly hinging on the outcome, I believe the GOP would like Steele's attention off of the President at least until after the special election. Democrat Scott Murphy has taken a 4 percentage point lead over Republican Jim Tedisco in the race for the 20th Congressional District, according to the latest Siena Research Institute poll. That's outside the 3.2 percent margin of error. However, by a 10-point margin, more voters think Tedisco, an Assemblyman, will end up beating Murphy in the special election, the poll said. Murphy, a venture capitalist, erased a 4 percentage point deficit in just two weeks. Tedisco’s campaign is seen as being more negative than Murphy’s by a 44-25 percent margin, according to the Siena Research Institute survey. The NRCC is so frightened by the prospect of losing in a Republican district that they've pulled out the 9/11 --
