Who's race-baiting? The Teabaggers, that's who.

4. Pulling the sheet off of these jokers, one person at a time.

The Teabaggers aren't fooling anyone with this sudden concern for "Health Care Reform" and governmental spending.

I am glad that there are people who can "see" what they are actually about instead of believing their crap that they are "non-partisan" and "anti-racist". With their lack of understanding about political positions and philosophy, who believes that they actually know about concepts outlining ethnic studies?

You'd have to be a fool (like Bachmann) if you do.

5. Your link is to a right-wing site that you have to sign up on before access to videos.

That's a no-no.

6. Wrong on both counts.

Mediaite is Dan Abrams' site. Not left-leaning but I would not call it conservative. And you do not need to sign up to watch their vids. Did you even try clicking the link before disparaging it?

7. What I read was not at all even handed, let alone progressive. n/t

9. Mediaite have "columnists" from various political perspectives.

Whatever. I'm not here to defend the site. Frankly, I think it kind of sucks (in terms of layout and content). The point of the OP is the Maher video bit. Take it or leave it.

10. Yes, I clicked on the link. Look at the ads at the bottom for Newsmax, etc. And video wouldn'twork

No button to click "play." Just a button to click on "sign up."

No video was accessible to me, since I hadn't signed up to the site. And, did you notice that while that's a Maher video, the article is a conservative article, slamming Maher?

[Honeycombe8]

11. Here's a quote from your site about Maher:

"The host of Real Time with Bill Maher chose to focus on the lowest form of critique: implying that all involved were racist. Hillarious! *** Quick question – exactly who is guilty of race baiting again?"

Although I must say that when I just accessed that site again, the video was accessible without signing up. Maybe it's a thing where they grab your e-mail address and clear it before letting you have access to their videos. But most definitely, the first time I accessed it, there was the video with pic of Maher, but no "play" feature...just a "sign up" feature clearly stated in the toolbar for the video. Strange.

Different items at bottom of screen this time. Still, the featured articles linked at the bottom are Republican. Look at the one where they obliquely make fun of Obama for criticizing Rush and Beck, saying that they are the two most powerful media guys nowadays and that even Obama must watch/listen to them, in order to know what they say. Not a word about WHY O was criticizing them. The hallmark of a Fox news story.

13. My site?

Good grief.

[Phx_Dem]

8. LOL. That was a good show last night.

3 very smart people and no wingnuts!
