some highlights -

Some of the smartest and most sophisticated people I know?canny investors, erudite authors?sincerely and passionately believe that President Barack Obama has gone far beyond conventional American liberalism and is willfully and relentlessly driving the United States down the road to socialism. No counterevidence will dissuade them from this belief: not record-high corporate profits, not almost 500,000 job losses in the public sector, not the lowest tax rates since the Truman administration. It is not easy to fit this belief alongside the equally strongly held belief that the president is a pitiful, bumbling amateur, dazed and overwhelmed by a job too big for him?and yet that is done too.

hey he's talking about you FSD

In the aughts, Republicans held more power for longer than at any time since the twenties, yet the result was the weakest and least broadly shared economic expansion since World War II, followed by an economic crash and prolonged slump.

this backward looking glance won't fix anything.  Right K_S_U???

The business model of the conservative media is built on two elements: provoking the audience into a fever of indignation (to keep them watching) and fomenting mistrust of all other information sources (so that they never change the channel).

:dnr article:

I do appreciate the compliment though, but I can't recall ever posting anything about B.O. being some super radical leftist marxist type.  I'll take credit for calling him a bumbling idiot, cluemaster, dolt.  That's true.  I mostly just point out what a liar he is, and how his rhetoric (which is thinly veiled leftist marxist garbage) almost never reflects his actual action.  Fortunately for him, his puppets live is ideoland and fail to see him for the scumbag dipshit political crony he really is.

re: "counterevidence"
The author appears to be short of intelligence, logic, and reason.
