When Will Truth Win Out Over Bullshit?

On the other hand, if the Democrats would just come out and say it - that they are a Party entirely dedicated to federally funded abortion on demand and they daren't retreat from this for fear of angering the abortion industry - this would be at least a bit of refreshing honesty for our Democrats.


Simple minded people at Butts4Bush. Blanket assertions, especially when it comes to those pious issues the right wingnuts so lovingly cling to, like reproductive rights, are how they reduce people and their beliefs to simple talking points.

It's bullshit to even opine that the Democratic party is a party "entirely dedicated to federally funded abortion on demand." Yet, this is where we are in America today. No one gives a shit about the truth. Nada.

If Bill O'Reilly can go on David Letterman's show and spew his typical bullshit, and get away with it, then there is little hope that this country is headed in the right direction, insofar as media is concerned.

I read a lot of the blogs that were all over the Letterman show, and in a good way, mind you. Because Letterman actually said he felt that 60% of what Mr. O'Reilly said was bullshit (and it got a laugh), that just tickled the "left." But, Letterman had to admit (1) that he never watched O'Reilly's show, and (2) that he didn't know the story about "Silent Night" was bogus.

I need another latte.
