Who knows anything about Politico?

Are they left wing, right wing, or sitting on a fence?

I just made a comment on an article there about the idiot members of congress who are pissed off at the judge who ruled that the "Day of Prayer" was inconstitutional.

I suspect Politico is right-winged, but I don't know. I didn't stay after I regged and commented.

As I suspected. Someone was hollering about the Constitution and how Obama is ignoring it, and how some people were pissed off.

So, I went in, and wrote:


Well, all I can say is that it was George Bush who called the Constitution "a goddamned piece of paper." Sounds to me that a sitting pResident calling the foundation for his country a "goddamned piece of paper" seems to me to be fairly blasphemous.

OTOH, people attacking the current president is ludicrous--the man has been in office a little over a year, but the entire right wing has been defaming him since Day 1. It's really quite interesting IMO--they say they're attacking him for his policies, but you really can't say that only two days into his administration.

And yet Bush got away with murder--literally. Fabricating evidence to enter into a pre-emptive strike in Iraq has now killed several thousand soldiers, who would be alive still if the president at the time told the unvarnished truth.

But Obama earns the wrath of everything that was done under the previous administration. And who was it that called the Constitution of the United States a "goddamned piece of paper?"


I don't think I would last long there considering what I was reading.

And as stated above, read Greenwald's bit on that:

The Politico attempts to be objective but, IMHO, their pens are poison when it comes to Democratic causes.

while I was there, but it was a short-lived visit on my part!

Yeah, they attempt to be objective on stories based on stuff they made up. :)

;)

As for the editorial slant, I think they just like to be provocative.
