Latest Greg Sargent, Simon Rosenberg deception: pass amnesty to stop kids crossing the border - 06/24/14
Imagine the sleaziest used car salesman you can, someone who'd tell you a rusty hole in the top of a car is a sunroof.
Greg Sargent of the Washington Post and Simon Rosenberg of the New Democratic Network are a lot like that.
Another misleading Public Religion Research Institute immigration poll (Saperstein, Preston, CNN) - 11/25/13
The Public Religion Research Institute describes itself in the highest terms possible [1]:
How the Senate amnesty bill's border commission will be bogus (path to citizenship, Americas Voice) - 01/28/13
The Gang of Eight Senate amnesty plan includes a "commission" that would decide when the border is secure. After they decide it's secure, the former illegal aliens covered by amnesty would be put on the path to citizenship.
And - showing how little trust you can put in any amnesty supporter - key players are working to undermine the commission and make it a rubberstamp.
Citizen challenges President Obama to stay true to progressive principles! - 08/22/09
Welcome to the premiere edition of BYOSAK: "Build Your Own Soviet Allusion Kit". Your words today are velikiy (great, as in Peter) and grozniy (terrible, as in Ivan). Your goal: use those (or, alternatively, allusions to 1984) in relation to "Joe The Nerd: The Man Who Challenged Obama On Health Care" by Arthur Delaney of the Huffington Post (huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/21/joe-the-nerd-the-man-who_n_265523.html) or the similar post from Greg Sargent [1].

Greg Sargent downplays illegal aliens taking stimulus bill jobs - 03/11/09
Greg Sargent - a lightweight online "reporter" previously associated with Josh Marshall - now works for "Who Runs Gov", a Washington Post publication. A recent post follows talking points from others and tries to downplay the fact that - due to actions taken by high-level Democrats - a very large number of illegal aliens will be able to get jobs under the stimulus plan [1]:
Mainstream news outlets such as USA Today and CNN have pushed this line, citing a "study" done by a self-described immigration "think tank" that happens to promote anti-immigration materials. But a quick look at the facts...
"Liberals" support quotas, just not for white men, southerners (Obama cabinet) - 12/22/08
Many "liberals" believe in quotas in everything, whether they admit it or not. However, there are limits to liberalism. Namely, when the quota involves white men, especially white men from the South. Following are four recent examples involving the selections Barack Obama has made for his cabinet and top administration positions. These are reactions to the article "Southerners are the missing group in Obama's Cabinet" (link), which quotes Larry Sabato as saying:
"Obama scored a tremendous advance for Democrats in winning the three large Southern states and ignored them... I'm just stunned. It...
