Two Wrongs and the Right: Overreaction to Conservatives Leads Liberals to Hypocrisy
Celebrity attorney Gloria Allred needs to join the 21st century. Or the 20th. Last week, amid the well-deserved outcry over Rush Limbaugh’s stunningly loutish remarks about Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke — whom Limbaugh called a “slut” and a “prostitute” for supporting mandated contraception coverage — Allred made a …
Sandra Fluke on Her Role in the Contraception Controversy: ‘I Would Do This Again’
Last week Sandra Fluke became famous overnight. But the cascading sequence of events leading to Rush Limbaugh’s tirade against the 30-year-old Georgetown law student began two months ago. At a Republican presidential debate on …
Limbaugh’s Rant Isn’t Just Ignorant; It’s Terrible Politics
Just as the GOP was struggling to recover from Rick Santorum’s self-declared crusade against the “dangers of contraception” in this country, along comes Rush Limbaugh with an offensive and ignorant series of attacks on Sandra Fluke, a young woman who testified recently regarding the financial cost of birth control for female students at …
The Death of the Fairness Doctrine
“I would encourage you,” Rush Limbaugh wrote to President Obama in 2009, “not to allow your office to be misused to advance a political vendetta against certain broadcasters whose opinions are not shared by many in your party.” That, Limbaugh said, was what the President would be doing if he supported FCC rules regarding …
Conservatives Go After Another Obama Pastor
The Obamas ended up attending Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington’s Shaw neighborhood (and three blocks from my house–thanks for the wake-up via low-flying security helicopters, Mr. President) for Easter services on Sunday.

The Worst of Conservative Talk Radio
Aren’t there better and tougher targets for Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck than an 11-year-old boy without a mother?
Marcelas Owens, a young boy who’s been appearing on TV and at press conferences with Democrats who are trying to sell their health care plan, is a new fascination for some right-wing pundits, who have been saying …
Re: Rush Limbaugh

Is it possible that Rush Limbaugh’s objection–after his recent positive experience in Hawaii, the only state with an employer mandate–is that Obama’s health care plan isn’t socialist enough?
Consider this statement from Rushbo:

Boss Rush Bullrushed
There’s nothing more mainstream conservative American, more red state than blue, than professional football and the news that Rush Limbaugh is too controversial, too much of an extremist to be considered as a potential owner of the St. Louis Rams should be carefully digested by Republicans, especially those elected officials who heed his …

The Republican Response
Last week I said that it would probably be best for Van Jones–who used to go around saying that he was a communist and then signed a “truther” petition–to resign his job as one of the President’s environmental advisers.
Now, it seems, the Republicans have designated a former birther–that is, one of those paranoid nitwits who …
