Disgraced former Speaker of the House Tom Delay (R-Indicted) literally shakes his booty--alot--just for you. Wonder if he'll get to show off his new moves while doing a little time?

Fakery: Stage Right

Watch as the Fox News producer (the woman in the green shirt) stage-manages the allegedly spontaneous 9/12 protesters in D.C.--coincidentally just in time for a live stand up with Griff Jenkins of Fox.

Gives a whole new meaning to "making" the news.

But you're probably OK with being propagandized, yes? Watch the video by clicking on "propagandized".

He Is Heavy...He's Our Birther

Seems like every time we're in an airport, we can't get away from this guy. Yes, CNN's Lou Dobbs--the man who used to bill himself as "Mr. Independent"--has taken a hard turn to the right. He hangs out with known hate groups, demonizes minorities, and lends credence to whacked-out conspiracy theories.

But now, the pushback:

For years, Lou Dobbs has been one of the most dangerous hosts on cable news. He benefits enormously from the legitimacy of the CNN brand, which provides him with an unparalleled platform from which to mainstream the hate speech and racially charged conspiracy theories normally relegated to Fox News and other conservative news outlets
...

If CNN won't drop Dobbs, it's time that his advertisers did. It's time to do more than simply highlight the damage Dobbs does and the threat he poses. We must demand accountability from the advertisers who, by their purchase of airtime on his shows, actively support his hate speech.

Today, 11 organizations, including America's Voice, National Council of La Raza, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and many others, joined together to launch the Drop Dobbs campaign and DropDobbs.com. The effort aims to let companies know that their continued financial support of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight makes them complicit in the hate speech and wild conspiracy theories that he promotes.

62 companies have already dropped Glenn Beck. Time for round two.

We're Number 37...

...and we wanna keep it that way! Wait until you see who number 1 is...oh noes!!

Incitement

Maybe Curtis/Foothills/High Country Media will add this guy to their all-right wing programming line up. Listen as Mr. Quinn of Clear Channel's "The War Room With Quinn and Rose" offers up this dose of incitement to violence, from mediamatters.org:

Respectful Conservatives In Action: UPDATED

During President Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress tonight regarding health care reform, Republican Congressman Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) yelled out "lie" when the President said his health care bill would not mandate coverage for illegal immigrants.

Maybe this is how they teach their kids to be respectful when they keep them home from school.

You stay klassy, Joe.

Update via rawstory.com. Purely coincidental, no doubt:

Whether because of his outspokenness or in spite of it, Wilson is a major recipient of contributions from the health care industry.

In fact, over his entire congressional career, health professionals represent Wilson’s top industry contributors, donating a total of $244,196 to his campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics OpenSecrets.org database. He received another $86,150 from pharmaceutical companies, $73,050 from insurance companies and $68,000 from hospitals and nursing homes.

Among Wilson’s top contributors are the American Hospital Association, a lobby group that represents the interests of hospitals and health networks, and the American Medical Association, which represents physicians.

Right Wing Radio, You Have A Call

Our favorite part of the speech:

...

But know this: I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than improve it. I will not stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are. If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out. And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.

Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing. Our deficit will grow. More families will go bankrupt. More businesses will close. More Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it most. And more will die as a result. We know these things to be true.
