"Mendacious" is my new word of the day.
Re: “Massive resistance to Obamacare produces results”
The Republican newbies haven't had a chance to repeal Obamacare. Everyone must at least have one chance to repeal Obamacare.
Re: “The hog manure open line”
I wish the trolls would beat up on Obama and Holder for not going after the banks and those that almost ruined the economy. No, it wasn't the poor people that caused the housing market to tank. Nope, it wasn't black people that profited on derivative trading until they lost big time and needed a government bailout. It wasn't about some banged out years ago policy that arm twists banks into making bad loans.
Predatory lending was very profitable until the rates shoot up. But the originators already took their profit and ran.
It's the same types that are illegally foreclosing on people now. Why isn't the Justice Department going after their phone records. They're not coming down on them, prosecuting them for fraud, or even intimidating them.

But Fox News doesn't drum on about how nobody in the banking industry has been prosecuted for misdeeds. Of course, Republicans love the wealthy and banks and will do whatever to protect them. If Holder and Obama went after the banks, there'd be another storm of hot air on how Obama wants to destroy America's economy by going after the job creators.
Re: “Civil rights in Imboden: A new lesson for Sloan-Hendrix students”
Where does Thomas Pope get his anti-gay rhetoric?
So, how's Belgium and the Netherlands doing? They've had same sex marriage for about 10 years or more. Their society is about to disintegrate, right? Should be any day now?
Their poor children are being attacked and oppressed by accepting those that have a different sexual orientation? Their society is being split because of the acceptance of homosexuality? Ego dysfunction running rampant?
How big is that pile out of Pope Thomas?
Re: “Benghazi, the new Whitewater”
@A P F. I read a lot of news. I had read something along those lines. Yes, it is disturbing. http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/13/us/justice-a…
But you are misreading it. That is not "prosecuting journalists". I don't think it's even "persecuting the media". Using them, it certainly is. An invasion of privacy and spying on the media and who they are talking to, it is. But, you chose to embellish. Exaggerate. According to the CNN article, it may not be breaking the law but may be breaking precedent. They set their focus on only AP and the reporters that reported that one planned terrorist attack. {I skimmed that article; I haven't read all of it}
Still, from the article, they are investigating government employees/contacts that are leaking the information, not the journalists. And, I'm sure they are going after only those that leak information that they don't want leaked.
Cheney/Rove loved leaking information that they could use to their advantage. Remember, how they leaked false information to the NYTimes and then turned around and say, hey, look, the NYT is reporting it. Remember how they outed Valerie Plame for being a CIA agent. No one got prosecuted for those leaks.
I think that story has more leg than Benghazi. Or, the IRS employee indiscretion/screwup.

RE "Prosecuting more journalists"
I thought it was leakers and whistleblowers, not journalists.
