This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

I look forward to a dozen or so cut and pasted articles lambasting anything as long as it's about democrats.
"I look forward" are your operative words 1:04. What sort of person writes something like that as if it is clever? You are jealous! You call others miserable? Other people are whiners? What part of the open news thread do you not understand? It is the place to bring attention to the news stories of interest to the majority here. The fact that you read this blog, and comment, should be a compliment to us. However, your comments are so childish, and predictable, always the same old thing. I would think you would have moved on by now, but perhaps being the fool on a conservative blog gives you a tingle up your leg.
Actually, to prove 1:04's point, the other morning (Sunday I believe it was), our usual plagarising idiot was in full swing. They had already posted a dozen pieces of crap that no one cared about.
How do I know this? Because I went to some random website and just posted whatever articles I found (that had really nothing to do with anything). I believe there were 5 or so.
Not one person noticed...thus proving the point that everyone ignores the long posts (as 1:04) was really trying to say.
The ‘Joker’ poster has gone wild on the internet. The REAL news outlets have to report how racist the Obama ‘Joker’ poster is. Well, right, Obama has a white face, and he is only half-white, how racist can you get? He hates to be reminded of that. The lame media says anyone wearing this ‘Joker’ on a tee shirt is a racist, but those wearing CHE GUEVARA on their chest are hip! How can one understand this sort of reasoning? Good article this:
‘jOker’: When the Left’s Scared They Scream ‘Racist’ Big Hollywood, by ohn Nolte Naturally those who enjoyed (and created) all the “art” and pop culture used to demonize and dehumanize George W. Bush (whoops!) are now crying “racism” with the turning of the tables. They’re worried, and this hollow cry is all they got because who knows better(snip)this kind of imagery than those who have been using it for decades to further their goals of enslaving entire populations under the cruel yoke of Big Government.
1:42 PM your posting on other blogs means nothing. You have no idea how many people read your pasted articles? Speak for yourself. I have a limited amount of time to read the news of the day, and McC W has a good overview for me, and I do follow up on many of the links. Just because you are interested in only liberal news, don’t think that others don’t appreciate the news items published here. Besides, the blog host indicated he is conservative, and you act as if the conservatives are not entitled to a blog where the news interests them. I will try a case in point for you. I read your post and concluded that you are the idiot you called others. I am going to post this comment on five or so blogs, and if no one writes anything, then I am correct, you are an idiot, right?
...Besides, the blog host indicated he is conservative, and you act as if the conservatives are not entitled to a blog where the news interests them...
Perhaps the host could clear up whether or not liberals are welcome to post opinions and links to news and columns that interest them. When they do, they are routinely ridiculed and insulted (Marxist bitch, for example just today), and often told to go elsewhere because this is a blog only for conservatives. The host has never, to my knowledge, reprimanded or commented. How about it, host? Are liberals welcome to comment and post, and how should conservatives react to these comments and posts?
.... and often told to go elsewhere because this is a blog only for conservatives.
As far as you're being a Marxist Bitch, I wouldn't know, but I read it as a comment toward the Miami Herald reporter. I don't believe anyone told you to go elsewhere. I read that post and they just suggested that you might go somewhere where you might be appreciated a little bit better, and offered you some suggestions where people like you can go.
It was almost a public service.
Lets face it. You're greatly out of place here. Your every post is confrontational and you are routinely poked with a stick. People make fun of you and make you lose your temper, and then hold you up as an example of the stereotypical leftist.
If you find recreation in that, so be it, if not find sanctuary. This ain't it.
It's amusing to us to hear Rush cheer on the Teabagger Disruption Squads for a number of reasons. First of all, when ACORN was involved in protests against AIG executives in Connecticut this past March, Rush pronounced it an outrage, calling it "mob rule" and "demonization," and he (falsely) alleged that Obama coordinated all of this with the multi-billion dollar grant ACORN (didn't) receive as part of the stimulus. Now that conservatives are loudly crashing town halls, acting in a very mobbish fashion and intimidating members of Congress, Rush says it's little more than the educated citizenry standing up to its mendacious representatives. The second point is that Rush actually allows for the widely recognized fact that these "organic" town hall protests are organized exercises in political activism, but he says that would be a good thing. Why? Because the left has allegedly been doing the same thing with "rent-a-mobs" for years, and it's about time conservatives started fighting back. So forget about principles and decency and all the high-minded hosannas about conservatives winning in the marketplace of ideas -- this is about payback and the ends justifying the means. It reminds us of when Rush famously announced that he'd support having a "racist" like Sonia Sotomayor on the Supreme Court if she turned out to be pro-life. It's reprehensible, but this sort of candor from a political figure is strangely refreshing. MediaMatters.org
I think it has been said many times that liberals who post meaningful commentary should be welcome. Unfortunately, all too many of the left who come here contribute nothing of value and are not deserving of respect.
The first post is a great example of the caliber of leftists that posts here. There is no value to that post, he calls the posters here miserable whiners, when he is the real whiner. Why would a person like that be welcome on any blog? A blog host can delete any post from trolls that disrupts the discussion, and many do. Jim Hopkins decided to allow troll remarks, and they ruined his blog. McC W is watchful for profanity, so that keeps our blog clear of the filth written on some blogs. I for one am very thankful for that. The trolls here are a source of amusement, who doesn’t enjoy watching them squirm as their fraud-leader goes down the toilet?
The problem is their single persistent troll and it's part time assistant leave the rest with a bullseye and primed for assault the minute they open their yap.
Either that or they are legion and really do have the same list tired rants that they can recite.
Reading a McClatchy paper seems to give this theory at least some credence.
4:54 PM cites MediaMatters.org funded by George Soros as something we should consider? They have cohorts in Moveon.org, and ACORN. Every time Soros attacks Rush Limbaugh you know the truth is getting out, and he doesn’t like that. George certainly doesn’t want to search for another puppet, and go through what he did to elect Obama. In 2012, the corrupt media might not be around to do his bidding. We can only ‘Hope’ for that ‘Change’. I still have to laugh at the corrupt media trying to drumbeat/echo Rush saying he hoped Obama failed in his Socialism plans. Of course they left off the Socialism Plan part, and raged at someone saying they hoped Obama failed. The bloggers took care of that little lie, and the media suffered another loss to their credibility. For the record, I hope Obama fails too. Rush was just out ahead of the curve, and more people realize that everyday.
No one believes MediaMatters.org. Rush Limbaugh more than likely said the opposite of what they printed. I do find it amusing that these Soros operatives listen to every word Rush says, looking for something to rant and rave about. Why don’t they just make their own case FOR Obama, and not try to destroy someone for a loose word or thought? Perhaps they can’t make a case for Obama? That must be it, Obama makes a gaffe a day, and somehow they have to find a counterbalance. So a talk show host worries them? Things must be worse than I thought.
3:22, I don't know which posts you are blaming/crediting me for, but 2:51 was my first post in more than a week.
Then why would you profess to be such an expert on what is "routine" and exactly what the blog master has and has not done?
Your claim rings hollow because were it true you would never have assumed what you do. Unless of course, like one person said, You are one of minions with a very short list of approved thoughts.
It really doesn't matter. You're not going to change the conversation to suit your desired outcome. If trying is your bag, I say have at it. As twisted as being a glutton for punishment may seem, it reminds me of a song:

Listen buster, you leave Media Matters alone. Those people are responsible for the firing of more bad editors who copy and paste their press releases verbatim than all the McClatchy layoffs combined.
One of my favorite memories was watching an ideologue packing up his desk after pulling such a stunt.
GO MEDIA MATTERS! MAKING A JOKE OF LEFTISTS EVERY DAY!
What's so funny is that liberals always deny they are liberals. Notice how Sotomayor spent most of her time trying to convince everyone she was really a conservative. Amazing.
They will not even use the word liberal. They try to cover up by calling themselves "progressives". Yeah... like that fools anyone.
Moveon mentality at work making America more like North Korea everyday.
Mediamatters.org is a completely leftist organization. Even worse than leftist. You must be confusing it with another group if you think any editor got fired because of them, or the editor was a conservative. --- Media Matters for America From SourceWatch
Media Matters for America (MMFA), "a new Web-based, not-for-profit progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and *[correcting conservative misinformation] in the U.S. media,"[1] was founded by David Brock in mid-April 2004. Along with former *[MoveOn consultant] Tom Matzzie and John Podesta's Center for American Progress, it is behind Progressive Media, a liberal messaging campaign launched in 2008 and expanded in 2009 to become a 'war room' for promoting the foreign and domestic policies of Barack Obama.

==============
No, it was Media Matters. They were first formed as a propaganda agency taking advantage of the then "new" online press release forms.
They flooded newsrooms across the country with a barrage of down right falsified accusations, innuendo, slander and fairy tales.
Editors of low character and looking to fill space found it very easy to just cut and paste their articles on a mass scale.
The editor I was referring too was at the Houston Chronicle and ended up paying the price after a flood of legal threats from numerous people. No one actually knew what was going on or what he was doing for quite some time.
It's kind of like the Herald publishing Communist propaganda. Someone knew it was going on, but they let it go until people caught on.
Now, even when they're copying and pasting Media Matters content, they no longer mention the name and rearrange the punctuation.
Trust me, those people got a lot of complacent folks fired.

1:04 feels sad because the topic is "what is on your mind" and he feels excluded.
Meanie right wingers. Lets be inclusive and ask what are you feeling so we can include the non thinking emotive feel good liberals.

I look forward to your temper tantrums and then calling people names and accusing them of whining while you're in the process of doing exactly that.
