Republican Senator Jim DeMint from South Carolina (where else?) seems to be emerging as the leading spokesman for the Angry White Mob assembled in Washington, D.C. yesterday. DeMint said on Good Morning America about the rally, "it's not about Obama, it's not about the Democrats," it's just a group of people who are "here to take back their country."Not about the Democrats? Take a look at the roster of past and present elected officials who...

I want to thank Artemus for including this blog during the discussion on Joe Wilson.

At the time he made this statement, President Kennedy was under great pressure to advance civil rights without threatening his own chances...

Remember Wiley Drake? To refresh your memory, he is the pastor of a church in Buena Park, California who told Alan Colmes on June 2 that he was praying for the death of President Obama. Well, Wiley's not alone. Steven Anderson, pastor of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona said, as part of his August 16 sermon entitled "Why I Hate Barack Obama," that he was going to pray for President Obama to...
