Republican hopeful Brian Rooney, a Tea Partier running for the nomination in MI-07, recently received an endorsement from Erick Erickson of RedState.com. Unlike most people who would flee from such an endorsement, Rooney says he is “proud” of it. “I am proud to have Erick’s endorsement,” said Iraq veteran Rooney. “RedState.com has become one of the most influential voices in […]

Heh, heh… “I don’t owe [John McCain] shit,” Wurzelbacher continued. “He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.” Uh, Joe Sam? I think you have that backwards. I ran into Joe the Plumber Sam Wurzelbacher at the Brighton, Michigan Teabagger extravaganza last year. And, as far as who was using who, I’d say Mr. Plumber Wurzelbacher […]

My, my. Who woulda thunk it? FoxNews.com asks “What do you think the Tea Party movement is about? The choices are: Small government and fiscal responsibility Exposing Democrats’ socialist agenda Voicing outrage at out-of-touch politicians Fruitless mix of racism, conspiracy theories Other (add your comment) And the winner is…A Fruitless mix of racism, conspiracy theories!!! As of this morning it […]

Watching the news items bubbling up to the surface from the first-ever National Tea Party Convention in Nashville this past weekend was, for liberals, like driving by a horrible car wreck. Most of us want to turn away but can’t help staring in fascination at what we’re seeing. First we have overt racist statements from Tom Tancredo suggesting that we […]

Aw, Jebus. Dear Lord baby Jebus: (H/T Think Progress) WALLACE: How hard do you think President Obama would be to defeat in 2012? PALIN: It depends on a few things, say he played — I got this from Buchanan — say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran or decide to really come out […]

I hate to give Brian Rooney more attention than he deserves because the only thing that would be worse than Tim Walberg regaining his seat in MI-07 would be if Brian Rooney were to succeed in defeating Mark Schauer. But his latest “press release” screams to be addressed. It is a nauseating example of exploiting one’s children, in this case […]

Meet Brian Rooney. Brian Rooney is running for the Republican nomination in MI-07 this year. He has only lived in Michigan since 2007 and he recently moved into MI-07 in order to run for this seat. His main Republican opponent, Tim Walberg, doesn’t have much nice to say about him: Walberg questioned if Rooney runs whether he can win over […]

Looks like the anti-HCR Teabagger-types have realized that they just can’t seem to get those millions and millions of people to show up at their protests (remember how well their “Die In” went?) Now comes the “Virtual March”. Yes, kids, no need to actually GO to Washington, D.C. Why stand in the cold for your principles when you can do […]

As reported by Devilstower on the front page of the Daily Kos a couple of days ago, the Teabaggers were ready to hit the ground protestin’ at the Detroit Auto Show. Ready to protest bailing out the auto industry. You know, the one that employs 60% of Michigan workers? Well, they were outnumbered by some union folks who showed up […]

It had been awhile since I checked in with National Security expert Super PatriotTM freaking moonbat that is Charlie Daniels (yes, that Charlie Daniels) so I thought I’d hop on over to his website and see what type of drivel he was serving up for the New Year. Mr. Daniels has a blog where he spews his very own special […]

A few days ago, I wrote a diary for the Daily Kos that’s part of a series I call “Forays Into Freeperville” where I got to the Free Republic and cull out some of the most over-the-top, insane comments I can find. It’s not hard to find them, of course, and I suppose a bit of my soul dies each […]
