political hyperbole

Ann Coulter couldn't help but jump on the Beck "assault" bandwagon and use her weekly Human Events column to produce a totally classy screed shilling her new book. If you can handle reading the whole thing, note how many times she uses the phrase "liberal mob"...

So Limbaugh and a congressman from Texas have both characterized the BP $20 billion compensation fund as a "slush fund." Um....what? Seriously where does that idea even come from? It was also characterized as a "shakedown." Right..........BP is the victim in this. :rolleyes:

"Liberal media."

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/12/us/12justice.html?ref=us wow. social justice is a communist idea? human rights is communist? does Beck wanna go back to the days of Segregation, no Women's right to Vote, child labor, no environmental laws, no unions, etc? what a moron.

A small compilation of Glenn Beck and co's obsession with rape: MCY23hWWgRI Is this just a symptom of social conservatives' larger obsession with sex? Or are they trying to systematically convince their audiences that a democrat being in power is the worst thing in the world, and even threatens...

Treason? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/6580190/Barack-Obama-criticised-for-treasonous-bow-to-Japanese-emperor.html I wouldn't call it treason at all, but that's what the extremist conservatives are calling it. On the other hand, it does look a little too...

I was looking for factual information on the pirate thing ... and stumbled across this thread on FreeRepublic. Here are some of the comments made in the three hours or so preceding the news of the total pwnage of the pirates. * "Obama: making the US look like limp-wristed weaklings" * "I hope...

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D94CDDM80&show_article=1 Civilian national security force, gun control, "spread the wealth", the fairness doctrine ect. These things seem to have stirred the wingnuts paranoia. We're even seeing reports of spikes of gun sales. Are we about to see...

Am I the only one who feels that there's gone inflation in the use of the word "terrorist"? Take this example from the New York Times about the current fightining in Iraq: What on earth is that supposed to mean? A terrorist, in my book, is someone who engages in act of violence against the...
