Glenn Greenwald notes the radical right is going all “treason” on the Pres.
Hit the link. They are calling the Pres a loser and more.

Greenwald: Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer both said this weekend on Fox that Hezbollah won and Iran has been strengthened. Attacks on the Commander-in-Chief and proclamations of American defeat are ubiquitous - among the same group that insisted for the last five years that such attacks are dangerous and wrong and that talk of American defeat helps the terrorists.Aren't terrorists going to be so happy to see that Americans are divided in this way? Doesn't it make us less safe for all of these people to be branding the U.S. as weak losers and to be glorifying the strength and power of our enemies? Don't these people realize that we're in a war and that weakening the Commander-in-Chief with such criticisms and declaring American defeat endangers all of us?

When will the sheeple realize that the radical right has little at its core? It’s only core is truly evil. It involves killing and maiming as the only solution to our problems. These people are wildly narrow thinkers. So narrow that they think the last 50 years of American leadership and respect was a failure. So narrow that they think no one but them has any ideas on how to handle this excepting “cut and run”. So narrow that they think anyone advocating a sane answer to our problems is scared. Precisely when they are crapping their pants over the imminent destruction of America.

Crooks and Liars- I am sure I will disagree with this guy someday but I have yet to find anything to dislike about him. Statesmanlike, common sense, intelligent and a man who cares deeply about the rule of law and the average American.
Yes, this is a lengthy download but worth the time. Just do something else while it loads.

Barbara at Maha points out the non sequitur nature of the right wing dialogue.- I’ve come to believe that righties think entirely in non sequiturs.
Me too Barbara…read it for yourself.

Arianna Huffington points out the inconsistencies of the debate on media “truth” and wonders how all this happens. Cuz they are suck ups Arianna and are scared of being called the “liberal media”. Hell, even Rushbo gave up on that one.-

Accountability -- it's all the rage. At least you'd think so if you've been following the story of the Reuters photographer Adnan Hajj, who doctored photos from the war in Lebanon. Once a fraudulent image of Beirut was first exposed by Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs, Reuters canned the photographer…..And I want to take this a step further and say that we should hold all journalists accountable, whether they are photojournalists or not, for deceptive statements, whether they're images or words.
I mean, you had your own headline anchorman, Chuck Roberts, describe Lamont as the al Qaeda candidate. This is an equally deceitful, fraudulent, fabricated statement. There should be zero tolerance for all those deceits, whether in images or words.
KURTZ: Well, what Chuck Roberts said, according to the transcript, was that some are calling Ned Lamont the al Qaeda candidate. But it's certainly not a formulation I would have used.
HUFFINGTON: You cannot find a single person who called Lamont the al Qaeda candidate, except Chuck Roberts. And what have been the consequences when it comes to Chuck Roberts? Has he been demoted to be covering Paris Hilton or entertainment news? ... It's about time that there is that same kind of accountability that Charles is demanding from photojournalists from journalists, as well.
Indeed, an exhaustive Lexis Nexis search confirms that no one has called Lamont "the Al Qaeda candidate." Except for Chuck Roberts. In fact, you know what you find if you Google "Al Qaeda candidate"? A lot of references to John Kerry being smeared by the RNC and its cronies during the 2004 election. Clearly, Lamont as "tha Al Qaeda candidate" is the latest rendition of an old G.O.P. tune. The question is: why do the media play along?……A subtler example is the headline on the August 11th New York Times story by Adam Nagourney:
"Arrests Bolster G.O.P. Bid To Claim Security as Issue"Really? Do they? How do we know they do?

But people just eat this stuff up without a thought..lame.
