Alternate ID commented on the diary post Obama is almost for marriage equality. Almost, but not really. by Bill Perdue.
Ditto on all the comments. The consummate liar/betrayer did nothing more than mumble a platitude. Has he put the weight of the executive branch behind any policy changes? Has he signed anything? Changed any rules? Will he say it on the campaign trail? It is baffling how so many people seem so eager to be [...]

Alternate ID commented on the diary post If Romney is Elected, it’ll be Your Fault by crookedealbuster.
And there are some of us who still remember the present and how Wall Street pays for Obama’s ads through its massive campaign contributions. Keep in mind that Nader had absolutely no control over the Republican PAC that paid for those ads. The PAC paid for them not because they agreed with Nader, but as [...]

IMO, ignoring the effect of the economy on the working and middle classes will turn out to be Obama’s biggest strategic blunder. If the economy was doing OK for the working and middle classes, the Obama campaign’s calculated risk would likely be a sure thing. Pissed progressives who are willing to say no to Obama [...]

Alternate ID commented on the diary post If Romney is Elected, it’ll be Your Fault by crookedealbuster.
I agree 100% Obama has taken the country right-ward at a faster pace than any president before. As Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report said, Obama is the more effective evil. I’ve been an independent voter all my life, mostly voting third party but sometimes supporting Democratic candidates. No more Democrats for me, period. As [...]

Alternate ID commented on the diary post If Romney is Elected, it’ll be Your Fault by crookedealbuster.
The SCOTUS argument is bogus. If you look at Obama’s pattern of behavior, there is no logical reason to think he will move left if reelected. On the contrary, there is every reason to think that he will continue to move toward the right. Despite election year pandering, there is no evidence that Romney is [...]

I can’t stand listening to the serial prevaricator, so I’m glad you were able and willing to translate his shameless pandering doublespeak into English.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Just wait until Obama gets reelected and moves further to the right.

More great work, Kevin. You are one of my heroes.
The comments are right on the money, and Tanbark, snark aside, you spoke the truth. :)

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Highlights from Frontline’s Money, Power and Wall Street by wendydavis.
Another great diary, Wendy.
IMO, propaganda like this is the worst because it seems so reasonable on the surface that most people are likely to accept it at face value.
The corporatist and government point of view gets shaped and reinforced in a most civilized and accessible format, you might say.

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Krugman: 1% Have “Warped Our Political System” and What It Means by DSWright.
The time for the Democratic Party to reform itself was before they decided to support Obama for re-election. His actions prove he is the best friend the Republicans ever had. By standing by him, the Democrats have proved they are past salvaging. Any resources you put into the Dem party will be used to support [...]

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Has Occupy Been Designated a Terrorist Group? Welcome Back Cointelpro! by firebagger.
Hi backatcha, firebagger. I agree with all you said. Stoke the terrorist hysteria with another contrived plot masterminded by the FBI, create an impression with the public that Occupy is a hot-bed of terrorism, and make people fearful about participating in Occupy. Talk about killing three birds with one stone. Make that four birds because [...]

Alternate ID commented on the diary post The Unemployment Rate Drops From 8.2% To 8.1%, Helping To Obscure The Jobless Recovery by TheCallUp.
The description “unemployment rate”, as used, is bogus propaganda designed to deceive. We should all refuse to use it. It’s really “the unemployed people the government feels like counting”. I know that description is too long and unwieldy, but a more honest description is definitely in order. Is there even an attempt to measure the [...]

Alternate ID commented on the blog post Obama Celebrates Press Freedom But Refuses to Let Yemen Free Journalist (VIDEO)
As others have said, thank you for your great work, Kevin.
It seems the hypocrisy of Obama knows no bounds. Not really surprising, though, when you think about it. At the very least, the guy is a cold-blooded sociopath.

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Has Occupy Been Designated a Terrorist Group? Welcome Back Cointelpro! by firebagger.
Another “terrorist plot” masterminded and nursed along by the government. I can understand the FBI being afraid to go after people who shoot back, that’s a benchmark behavior of authoritarian bullies. Perish the thought the government would make any effort go after the financial criminals who are basking in the fruits of “Crime Does Pay [...]

Alternate ID commented on the blog post Obama Administration Sides With Big Oil on Fracking Disclosure
I’d have to say Democrats are worse.
Of course, you have to separate the Blue Team partisans who know who he is and don’t care.
Once you do that and look at the true believers, it’s kinda scary how big the disconnect is between their view of Obama and who he really is.

Alternate ID commented on the blog post Obama Administration Sides With Big Oil on Fracking Disclosure
SandieM83 just registered and dumped some talking points.
And lookie here, he/she was kind enough to re-hash an old knee-slapper:
Sometimes I sense a certain dislike for this President, so I must ask in that instant and if what I sense is correct, am I to assume that you agree with the Republicans on their issues?
According to Sandie, if I criticize Obama, I must be a Republican. Put another way, Sandie seems to think that only Republicans can criticize Obama.
I prefer to look at it another way. Criticizing Obama means that I am sentient and aware and don’t like being lied to, betrayed, and viewed as a gullible sheep who will let myself be used and abused because some idiot calls me a Republican if I complain
