  • The Blackening of the president

    After a summer of hate, and a barrage of GOP-hyped racial flaps, Obama's approval rating among whites has plunged
  • President Snoop Dogg

    When Obama told folks who lie about his healthcare plan "I will call you out," who knew he was talking gangsta?
  • How can Obama top a great speech?

    By ignoring GOP hooligans and getting his fellow Democrats behind his compelling vision of healthcare reform
  • That's the president I voted for!

    Let's hope the Obama who fired up labor on Monday is the guy who rallies Congress to fix health care on Wednesday
  • The far right's un-American values

    Terry Jeffrey doesn't just want to stop Obama's speech; he wants public schools to teach Christian-right dogma
  • The far right says Obama is bad for our kids

    Blocking the president's back-to-school address shows the extent of the wingnuts' racial and political paranoia
  • If you love Medicare, why don't you marry it?

    Sure there's a lot of media idiocy about healthcare, but Obama has to take some of the blame for the confusion
  • Kennedy's impossible dream? I don't think so

    Nobody knows if he'd have demanded a public health care option, but he wouldn't have surrendered before the fight
  • Should Dems ask the GOP to censure Obama haters?

    When the GOP condemned MoveOn for its Petraeus ad, the MSM trashed the group. Should Dems return the favor?
  • The big lie about Kennedy continues

    Pundits and the GOP insist Teddy would have brokered a healthcare compromise. But the GOP fought Kennedy's own bill
  • Ted Kennedy's last battle

    If the late senator had been well enough for the healthcare fight, he might have pushed Republicans toward sanity
  • A(nother) blog breaks big

    Open Salon's Gwen Cooper hits the bookstores, strikes another blow for bloggers with great stories to tell
  • President Obama, don't risk your base

    The media obsesses over Obama poll numbers, ignoring a surprising fact: His standing is dropping with liberals, too
  • When liberals fight back

    Barney Frank's feisty retort to a town hell extremist may herald a tougher approach to pushing health care reform
  • How Obama can turn it around

    The president and progressives may not share every goal, but they need each other
  • Right-wing cynics and America's third-world healthcare

    While the media covers Astroturfed outrage, thousands of underinsured Americans line up for free healthcare in L.A
  • Throw Grassley from the train!

    The GOP senator falsely claims Obama "death panels" would "pull the plug on Grandma." Why negotiate with a liar?
  • Oops, he did it again

    Yet another Rush Limbaugh rant about having to "bend over and grab the ankles" for Obama
  • Who was that gun-toting anti-Obama protester?

    On the Web, William Kostric backs Birthers, secessionists and shooting cops who bust drug dealers in their homes
  • Obama sharpens his message

    The president parries fear-mongers' healthcare claims, but more "town hells" make fact-based debate seem unlikely
  • Look who's rallying against Obama in Portsmouth

    He'll have rowdy tea-partiers, Glenn Beck acolytes, Birther admirers and an ex-aide to Abramoff-tied Rep. Bob Ney
  • Gingrich backs Palin on "death panels"

    Will any GOP leader denounce the bizarre claim that Obama's plan supports euthanasia?
  • But seriously, folks: Obama death panels?

    Sarah Palin falsely claims Obama health care reform might have killed her son Trig, and so far most big media shrug
  • Our first black president is a Nazi?

    GOP mobs shout down Dems in "town hells," but right-wingers compare Obama to Hitler and call Dems "brownshirts"
  • More GOP crazy: "Town hells!"

    Republicans brag about efforts to mobilize mobs to stop Obama. What are Democrats doing to counter them?
