Finally! My God I am really enjoying this!

The democratic party has the republic party on the defensive. I have been peeking in at Limbaugh and Hannity and they have had to interrupt their daily Obama bashing to defend Romney's crap.

They are howling hysterically. Don't get me wrong. They are trying to interpose Obama bashing in their wailing defense of Romney, but the fact that they feel the need to spend so much time and effort responding to democratic attacks is a huge difference from the recent past.

I think the attack on Romney is working. I can't wait for the next piece of crap that falls out of the Romney closet. You just know there's more.

But Beck's logic is flawless.

State = National. Capitalism = Socialism. Thus State Capitalism = National Socialism. Ergo Progressives are Nazis.

It works with anything. Try it yourself with...say...Furry Kittens.

Furry = National. Kittens = Socialism. Thus Furry Kittens = National Socialism.

There you have it. Unassailable evidence that furry kittens are Nazis.

Struggling Clear Channel Doubles Beck's Pay With $100 Million Contract

June 13, 2012 11:01 AM EDT ››› ERIC BOEHLERT

One year after landmark New York City talk station WOR yanked Beck's show due to poor ratings, and one year after Beck has failed to find a replacement affiliate in the market that plays home to Madison Avenue, Beck just signed a five-year contract renewal with Clear Channel's syndication company, Premiere Radio. The company not only gave Beck a raise, but doubled the talker's contract to a reported $100 million...

And yet Clear Channel, the conservative-friendly media behemoth with a soft spot for right-wing radio, just doubled Beck's deal to a reported $100 million, while the struggling company remains buried under an eleven-figure mountain of debt...

Question: Why is Clear Channel, now owned by Bain Capital, so anxious to compensate two of its right-wing talk show hosts nearly $60 million each year. In terms of context regarding the entertainment industry economy, that $60 million is nearly identical to what late-night hosts Jay Leno and David Letterman make each year, and they bring in nearly half-a-billion dollars in advertising revenue annually for their TV bosses...

What a crock of shit, none of those assholes deserve airtime. They pimp the GOP and then say 'fair and balanced' which is a perversion of the truth.

Glad they are on the defensive.

If the Obama campaign had not come right out with the word "felony" I think the media would already be retiring this story.

Keeping ourselves on the offense will eventually force disclosure and bones will be falling out of the closet the whole time. Like maybe some bone about Mitt Romney paying no federal taxes at all for years.

Yep. This is fun.

a veritable Bataan Death March of a campaign. I suspect that another nasty revelation will be coming after the conventions and the coup de grace around October 5 - 10. I am convinced that the POTUS' campaign already has the information they need, it's merely a question of how and when to best use it.

Say goodnight, Gracie, err, Mittens.

never not be pushed because the whole campaign is centered around the idea of taxing the rich, protecting the poor and middle class, job loss though outsourcing, etc.

Romney's very existence, how he makes his money and what he does with it, is the essential issue in this campaign.
