POPSJohn McCain's Secret Love Affair. Take the pledge to tell Media Corporations, they must stop the liaison between themselves and the rightwing. I did below. --- I am tired of the media's constant attempts at manipulating their viewers political mentality. Even though it has tweaked in recent times to be more balanced and fair they are still tilting much too far to the right. After all, most media outlets are run by Media Conglomerates and benefit excessively ($$$) when republicans are in charge. In a free society facts from all political persuasions should be presented fairly. Let's not waste a single opportunity to tell them so. thinkingblue.blogspot.com Take the pledge at the link below. What the media does, really matters. http://mediamattersaction.org/theyloveme/?src=love0729-3

POPSLYING FORWARDS FROM THE RIGHTWING My niece sent me this email and asked me the following... Hey Aunt C, Somebody sent this to me and I know you are fantastic at finding the truth, so is this true or some republican trying to change peoples votes. Thanks, (Niece) LINK HERE: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp Hi, (Niece). it is completely false... Thanks for asking... I wish that others would question this baloney the republican rightwing sends around to the naive, who mindlessly accept these stupid forwards as the truth... A sad America, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, (and the middle class continues to disappear) is the result of such irrationality... The very ones who get hurt by these forwards are the ones who would probably be helped if the wealthy, whether they be individuals or corporations were forced to pay their share of taxes, instead of getting tax breaks that the republican party keep giving them. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSMcCain "Death of Iraqis due to war? In the Hundreds of Thousands" Either McCain has no clue what he's talking about. Which is a very distinct possibility if anyone's been following his gaffes on what's actually taking place in the Mid-East ...... or ...... much of what the lunatic rightwing holds onto, as ridiculously low numbers of Iraqi deaths due to Bush's reckless war based on lies, is propaganda

POPSThe Archbishop and the Beast There's been a sudden increase of blogging about liberation theology since Barack Obama's pastor hit the headlines. It has brought forth some very strange comments and perceptions, such as that those, who like Archbishop Romero were crushed by the power of the state for opposing the abuse of power actually supported what they opposed.

POPSHello! Is Sanity in the House? By some people's reasoning it should be allowable for Jews to riot because Joe's BBQ opens and serves pulled pork platters? Christians should storm the gates because Wal-Mart is not keeping the Sabbath holy? Catholics should go berserk when someone doesn't genuflect before Mary? Why aren't more people standing up and saying these crazy people are crazy? We're all supposed to adhere to Sharia law? How utterly absurd and pointless.

POPSSCOOP: Bush Promises Iraq Invasion Congress should never subjugate themselves to the ambitions of one individual ever again. The Founding Fathers foresaw this and wrote the Constitution with checks and balances giving Congress the responsibility of making declarations of war. Anybody, (1) who knew George Bush, (2) witnessed his pathetic address to the UN that showed it was a cursory walk-through before launching the invasion, knew he was lying all the time. I expect to hear the rightwing lunatic mythology that there was widespread support for this war but in fact the US was for the war only if Bush would secure a UN resolution and obtain a strong coalition mimicking the coalition in Kuwait in 1991. The Founding Fathers didn't want us to be ruled by Kings and Bush and Cheney are no exception. IMPEACH!

POPSRightwing A*Hole: Bill O'Reilly - "M-Fer, I want more iced tea." As Media Matters for America has documented, O'Reilly has made a number of provocative statements about race. In a February 27, 2006, conversation with a caller about the disproportionately few jobs and contracts that have gone to locals in the rebuilding of New Orleans, O'Reilly said: " he homies, you know ... I mean, they're just not going to get the job."

POPSAyaan Hirsi Ali - an Islam Story The interviewer is one of those 'unbiased' media guys. But the woman is great, especially considering her past and sentiments. The interesting thing is that this woman is black, brought up under islamic rule, lived in various countries (none of which I've been to... except for Canada) and yet she has exact same sentiments on America as me, although I'm a white man from former USSR. Very different upbringing, lives, ethnicity etc., similar only in the fact that she's seen something else and is an immigrant to the US, and she has the exact same sentiments.

POPSMoral Majoritists Love Hookers For over three decades, Privette has been one of the best known and most outrageous spokesmen for “family values” and Christian extreme right politics in North Carolina. In the 1970s, he was serving as minister at the North Kannapolis Baptist Church when he joined the tide of evangelicals entering politics that included the Moral Majority and Christian Coalition. He served in the N.C. Legislature from 1984 to 1992, and has been a member of the board of commissioners in Cabarrus County since 1998

POPS"Bush F****d Up the War": said Repub Senator The findings echo similar assessments of the terror threat from British spy chiefs. They inflamed an already febrile atmosphere in Congress, where Mr Bush is haemorrhaging support from Republicans. Mr Voinovich is not the only ally of the President losing faith. Yesterday, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, owned by the hitherto loyal businessman Richard Mellon Scaife, branded the Bush administration's plans to stay the course in Iraq a "prescription for American suicide". Don't know who Richard Mellon Scaife is? He is the billionaire rightwing nutjob who funded the rightwings hitjob on President Clinton. "We're going to get Clinton," Joan Bingham, a New York publisher present at the lunch, remembers him saying. "And you'll be much happier," he said to Bingham and another Democrat at the table Who's happy now?

POPSShock Jock's Unrepentant Derogatory Obama Song Source article gives more well-rounded account of this situation. (Unfortunately, complete stories can't be told in 1000 characters or less.) By the way, I love how Barack is responding with dignity, because it doesn't take "magic" to make Rush and his followers look even more ignorant and childish by comparison.

POPSMedia Follows Drudge Lead Just as in the "inventing the internet" tale, once again the main stream media thought nothing of a story until after rightwing activists "spun" the tale into an issue.
