Week of February 22, 2009 - February 28, 2009

Accountability Now should help defeat Patrick Leahy in 2010, if...


...he grants immunity to the criminals who tortured detainees during the Bush administration.
Accountability Now is asking for ideas as to what candidates to support and oppose.

This would be done by finding a progressive candidate who does not advocate this kind of whitewash.

Nancy Pelosi recently criticized Leahy's fact-finding commission "on the ground that such a Commission would improperly immunize lawbreakers and thus foreclose prosecutions," as reported.

Right-winger to Arianna: Lawyer up (for posting fake video accussing him of racism)


I've warned you before, progressives of the world: rid your mind of the tendency to see racism in almost everything. After all, not every tall monument is a black man's penis.

Anyways, let's get to my story. The Huffington Post (and others) posted a video the other day purportedly showing Fox commentator John Gibson comparing Attorney General Eric Holder to a monkey. But turns out the video was doctored by someone in Baltimore, forcing Arianna's online gossip/politics website (which apparently lacks an editor or fact-checker) to apologize.

David Kurtz reported the apology here recently.

This reminds me of that fake primary campaign video in which a Hillary Clinton supporter allegedly called Indianans "shit", adding ""How would like to be a worthless white nigger?" in a question to George Stephanopolous. 

Remember that?
