Seems I have lots of company

Here, here, here, here, and here.
Hugh Hewitt has to be going batshit.

MyDD comment of the day: John Edwards edition

Hard to choose between them, so here are two. First:
IMO, Edwards looks to the Netroots to gauge what his position on the issues should be. If this is true, how is he any different thean Dubya, vis-a-vis the Neocon/Evangelical cabal? The man seems to be taking ALL of his cues from our favorite(MYDD, Kos, [...]

It’s not just me: John Kerry pisses everyone off

Scrolling through Geraghty’s Hillary Spot today, I noticed a couple of anecdotes from Bob Shrum’s book.
The first one:
[Early in the day of the 2000 New Hampshire primary, Al Gore's campaign had been hearing bad news - the last wave of exit polls suggested Gore would lose by 5 points to Bill Bradley...]
[...]

Yep

The invaluable Dennis the Peasant:
If, as Pammycakes seems to think, the proper profile of a potential resident Jihadi is someone who…
1. Talks funny,
2. Probably smells funny,
3. Has a rap sheet,
4. Smokes dope,
5. Keeps barnyard animals in the back yard, and
6. Cars on blocks in the front yard, then…
You’re not talking about arresting Albanians in the [...]

The fruit of John Edwards’ efforts

This will no doubt endear Edwards to the netroots even further, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to post it. On May 14th, I wrote about Edwards urging his supporters to protest the war over the Memorial Day weekend. Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive has video of just such a protest:

Nice, eh? [...]

More moderation

Wow. TMV’s new co-blogger is really a stellar moderate:
A Theme Park Dick Cheney Will Love

By Robert Stein
When his new grandchild is old enough, the Vice President can take him to a new British theme park that reflects his world view–Dickens World, where tourists get a buzz from the Victorian squalor that the underprivileged deserve.
This [...]

As a matter of fact

One of Sully’s pen pals:
Every time I read or hear a rant by some anti-Hispanic demagogue I remember the thrill of speaking with these men who were true patriots, and I wonder what sacrifice the critic has made for our country. Have they served in the National Guard, or have they volunteered to put their [...]

Quote of the day

Derb:
I can’t see why the American people should be forced to have anything to do with the Muslim nations, if we collectively decide we’d rather not.
Boy, that’s really the best simplification I’ve seen. Cuts right through the PC, doesn’t it?

Whopper of the day

I was just clicking links over at Hot Air, and ran across this one (bold mine):
ABOUT YEARLYKOS CONVENTION
The YearlyKos Convention is an annual convention gathering people from all walks of life who belong to the netroots community, the US-based (but globally focused and inclusive) non-partisan grassroots community that uses the internet and blogs as primary [...]

Bush goes off the deep end

Oh, my. Someone is pissed:
President Bush attacked opponents of an immigration deal Tuesday, suggesting they “don’t want to do what’s right for America.”
“The fundamental question is, will elected officials have the courage necessary to put a comprehensive immigration plan in place,” Bush said against a backdrop of a huge American flag.
He described his proposal [...]
