    We’re way past the point where any of this is funny now. Trump’s not funny, Carson’s not funny, Congress isn’t funny, the governors aren’t funny. This is a genuine, openly racist, homophobic, and xenophobic right wing with enough support that even analysts as reputable as 538 give them a real chance at the White House.

    She was absolutely right to be anguished, and we’re supposed to pretend it’s just partisanship? This isn’t a fucking budget debate, this is hate as a political position, right out in the sun. How far are we from rounding up Muslims in the US?

      Absolutely right! Their reaction is helping the terrorists.

      I kind of see this as being similar situation to the build up to the Iraq War when so many in the media just blindly followed Bush into that fucking disaster.

      Now is not the time to be silent. Now is the time to speak up and call out this bullshit for what it is.

      In a sane society, someone like Trump would never have gotten as far as he has. But the conservatives in this country have truly descended into lunacy. This is an objective fact that can be proven over and over again merely by listing their batshit assertions. We get a new set every fucking week.

      This is no mere battle between liberal and conservative. This is a battle between reason and madness.

    Statue of Liberty bows head in anguish

    While I agree with her sentiment, every time I read her tweet I picture all that awful conservative ‘patriotic’ imagery:

      Except that eagle looks like he’s about to eat someone’s face, which would have been way cooler, I agree. Step up your game Lamebott.

    Good for Labott... “fair and balanced” is bullshit. When something is bad/insane, you need to say so. Cronkite would of agreed with her.

      Walter Cronkite. What a newsman. I met him once at a private club that my employer belonged to, after Mr. Cronkite had retired. Employer and I were having dinner one night when Employer (who was very old) fell asleep, as was his custom at dinner. The waiters would take his dish away and reheat it during his brief nap, and someone from the club would volunteer to come over and chat up Employer’s dinner guest. And on this particular night, it was Walter Cronkite. I scarcely knew what to say since he was a fixture of my childhood. But he was very kind, lovely, polite, gallant, and we had a mutual interest in sailing.

      Dan Rather would agree with her. Walter Cronkite would not.

      I really think certain white people are all aboout perserving white America. I hear it all the time in the comments around the Internet, but you obviously don’t hear it in the public eye, but secretly that’s their agenda. They play dumb and laugh it off, but in the back of their minds that’s what the Conservatives and Fox News are all about. Preseriving old America. Which is white people in charge and keeping this a Christian nation. Make White conservatives richer. The #1 plan for Conservatives.

          While I’m no fan of this bill I’m fine with her being suspended. She works at CNN not a biased left wing site like Gawker or Dailykos, Leave it to those biased bloggers to whine about Congress.

            You may want to have a look at the details of the Gawker “pivot.” You’re not going to have enough hours in the day to shoo away the right around here anymore.

            This tweet she sent 3 days ago was perfectly OK though.

            ‘Liberal media bias’ at work I guess, hashtag wining [sic].
