First of all, that is a meme that the anti-war left created in order to equate all of our current actions to the perceived failures of the Vietnam War.  If they were going to tell you about such a dynamic occurring I don't know what they would call it but they sure as hell aren't calling it that.

In between, the editorial posits that their is no evidence that the White House is being dishonest, but does note that the rosy narratives have been badly "shaken", by independent scientists, including the report on the disappeared oil (the prematurely released  four-pager where 'ballpark' was substituted for data and algorithms) . Or, the belated recognition by NOAA  (earlier on the same page as BP) that  underwater oil plumes do, in fact, exist. NOAA's earlier reluctance to acknowledge plumes was said to be based  on an unwillingness to make a premature report. The journal Science reports that there is a plume the size of Manhattan.

The administration also announced flat out that it is safe to eat fish and shrimp caught in the 78 percent of federal waters open to fishing. We can only hope that fish eat and swim close to home. NOAA director, Dr. Lubchenko, explained that fish eat the oil, but degrade the oil and process it so it does not accumulate, so don't worry.   It was not pointed out that fin fish are vertebrates and invertebrates, like oysters and shrimp, have different metabolic processes.

republicans killed it.

Here is a man who presents us with evidence of the fabrications and deceptions and horrible realities of the war.

What is the answer?
To smear him as a rapist.

The charges were withdrawn within hours, but the damage to the victim, Mr. Assange is done.

I know that the charges came from Sweden, but like many other people, this has the scent of the USA behind it. It has been their modus operandi from Daniel Ellsberg to Scott Ritter.

Surely it's obvious that I am describing Obama's second-term masterstroke: Vice President Hillary Rodham Clinton

The Crotch Salute Returns

I'm sorry folks, but is this the person that was elected
President of our country?
You know, the United States of America?
I do believe that saluting the flag goes with that,
and also to honor the servicemen who died,
or is he above that??
Shower us all with flowery words and
dazzle us with Bull(#@*,
But actions speak louder.  

what can one really do but reply all with the snopes debunking?

The irony of this whole controversy, of course, is that Coulter's getting lots of support for speaking at HomoCon not only from younger conservatives  but, in her own words, from Christian friends too. Which is to say, for most people, it ain't all that controversial. Exit question: She calls herself the right-wing Judy Garland but is she actually the conservative Elton John?

hotair has done some responsible reporting on this.  but the post quoted at that link, I believe, misses an important point.

So Farah is essentially elevating to the position of Worst Sin the one sin he has absolutely zero chance of committing, zero chance of even being tempted by.

It strikes me as very convenient, self-serving position to take that the most important sin out there, the most destructive sin, the one, as Farah says, actually destroys whole societies, is the sin that those who are most concerned with it aren't ever tempted to commit in their entire lives.

Or why, for that matter, would a regular poster here make up stories about the Cordoba Center being scheduled to open on the anniversary of 9/11?
