Brown is not really important.

My head is full from the pundits and experts and palm readers on the MSM and the blogosphere selling the American people conflict.  Our MSM is the greatest reality TV show.  People need to go back to thinking about Haiti because this story doesn’t really have legs. Brown does not have to be important and here’s why:

· It is easy for a candidate to pull a Sarah Palin by pretending to be something he is not, say he drives a truck and co-op Obama’s message of change to get elected by a wave of populist anger when the person he is campaigning against forgets to campaign and takes a Caribbean vacation with the fam. He basically ran uncontested. But now he has to show up for work and vote and his record says he is to the left of the other New England Republicans.

· The Democrats didn’t have a supermajority when Obama was elected and frankly it has been used as a curtain for Republicans to hide their obstructionism behind or obstructionist behinds or both. Message to Democrats: Call them on their bullshit. The average American doesn’t even know what a filibuster is and has never seen one. Make Republicans filibuster everything live on CNN; climate change, Wall Street reform, healthcare. Create more shit for them to stand up and filibuster. The key is not to run away but to run ahead faster. Force them to reconcile the misleading untruths of their populist messages with the truth of governing.

· For the record Obama’s agenda polls at a 60% approval rating in Massachusetts. This was a referendum on Coakley, and frankly she earned every bit of the ass-kicking she got last night. Chokeley should stick, it fits.

We all know the Republicans are unfit to lead America but now we are going to find out if Democrats have the balls to.

Reap what you sow.

Tea-Baggers gone wild. 

Update:  It may have been a prank call.  Funny nonetheless.

The truth about Tea-Baggers

Greg Sargent has no real surprise here.  The Tea-Bag movement never wanted to have an honest debate.  We know this.  Their objective is to stop Obama from acomplishing anything positive as long as he is in office.  No matter the cost to the American people.

“The goal is not compromise, and ANY bill coming out this year would be a failure for us,” the moderator said, according to AFL-CIO’s notes.

And

Another organizer on the call, according to AFL-CIO, added: “The purpose of Tea Parties is not to find a solution to the health care crisis — it is to stop what is not the solution: Obamacare.”

Not Surprised

It was only a matter time before the Corporate Right-Wing funded Tea-Bagger movement to thuggishly disrupt Democratic town-hall meetings turned violent.  I fear, this is only the beginning.

Details at TPM.

"As the building filled to capacity, angry protesters stuck outside began to scream, yell, and chant," reports local TV channel 10 in Tampa. "At one point, those trying to get inside began banging on windows as Tampa Police officers quickly spread out guarding all entrances."

This is what happens when you incite the lowest common denominator to riot; they do.  Someone is going to get hurt.  Is there no one on the Right side of the aisle with decency or even some modicum of common sense?  And, where is the MSM's legitimate coverage?  Enough is enough.

Post-Racial?

Yea right. The tea-party movement has got your post racial America right here.
