Obama Arizona Memorial Speech: We Must Communicate 'In A Way That Heals,' Not 'Wounds'


The Republican Propaganda Machine uses hate, fear, and intimidati­on to silence The Profession­al Left; they promote violence, they motivate the insane to committee horrific crimes, they use terrorism acts to silence us. These people have become savages of the Wild West. As a result, there's no compassion­, there's no respect, and there's no love for our fellow American's­.

Jared Loughner Appears In Court, Giffords 'Still Fighting' (LIVE UPDATES)


I blame the Conservati­ves because they promote violence, and they talk about killing people who don't agree with them. I don't hear anyone on the Right condemning this shooting of innocent people, killing 6, and there's no companion for their families this is heartless. There must be some guilt here, their trying to say that he was a Liberal which is a flat lie, why are they trying to avoid this tragedy, like it had never existed. This is disgracefu­l, we need to better than this, we are all Americans.

ThinkProgress » Conservatives Freak Out Over Mild Net Neutrality Laws: ‘It’s Total Government Control Of The Internet’

the Internet. There’s a lot of people rightly concerned. … The Obama administration, which has already nationalized health care, the auto industry, insurance companies, banks, and student loans, will move forward with what could be the first step in controlling how Americans use the Internet by establishing federal regulations on its use….The Internet is an invaluable resource. It should be left alone. As Americans become more aware of what’s happening here, I suspect many will be alarmed, as I am, at the government’s intrusion. They’ll wonder, as many already do, if this is a Trojan horse for further meddling by the government.– LIMBAUGH: Today the FCC approved a proposal by chairman Julius Genachowski to give the FCC power to prevent broadband providers from selectively blocking web traffic. And that’s just a ruse. Net Neutrality is not what this is really all about. This is about the feds wanting to control the Internet just as they control the public airwaves. They want to be able to determine who gets to say what, where, how often — they want to be able to determine what search services are providing what answers to your queries. It’s total government control of the Internet, and the regime has just awarded it to itself.It’s another gleaming aspect of free speech, free market, private industry Obama has decided to take over as a Christmas present to himself and the Democrat National Committee and to Mr. Soros. He’s even beaten Hugo Chavez to the punch. Chavez is just talking about taking over the Internet in Venezuela; Obama has got it done.

White House Is Hoping Jon Stewart Can Help Them Out With The 9/11 Responders Bill

Robert Gibbs, President Obama's press secretary, told reporters on Tuesday that he hopes ["Daily Show"host Jon Stewart] can persuade enough Republican senators to vote for a 9/11 health bill so it can head to the president's desk."If there's the ability for that to sort of break through in our political environment, there's a good chance that he can help do that," Gibbs said in his briefing. "I think he has put the awareness around this legislation. He's put that awareness into what you guys cover each day, and I think that's good. I hope he can convince two Republicans to support taking care of those that took care of so many on that awful day in our history."
