Van Jones seems to think that the Tea Party has “progressive” ambitions (either that, or he has a really expansive view of what any government is supposed to do): “I dont think you want the tea party running your community, running your family, running your government.”
The Tea Party movement is not looking to run communities or families. That’s what liberals do.
And in so far as running government is concerned, the Tea Party is for government that responds to the will of the People. But Van Jones is probably against that, since he’s a communist.

Heads up, Comcast: “42% of registered, likely voters have never even heard of Keith Olbermann. 55% couldn’t tell the difference between Rachel Maddow and Maureen Flannagan“.

Dude, where’s my utopia? Coulda-shoulda-woulda and other lamentations with Keith Olbermann and Michael Moore.
Listen closely, though. I think they’re complaining about Democrats not lurching Left-ward enough. You are watching the audacity of epistemic closure.
Meanwhile, Shepard Fairey seems to blame the current Dem crisis of confidence on Obama.

UPDATE: Some saw it coming: The Mendacity of Hope: Barack Obama and the Betrayal of American Liberalism hits bookstores October 5. Noam Chomsky and Naomi Wolf like it, so you know it wasn’t written by a Tea Partier!
Just learned of this book by coincidence, catching up on a 3-month old issue of Texas Monthly (the author is former Harper’s editor Roger D. Hodge, a fellow native Texan). I suppose we won’t be hearing a lot about it on TV…
MORE: Ed Driscoll links with related content, including a link to a long list of rubes who know a thing or two about mendacity. Thanks, Ed!

President Obama warns today against “the agenda put out by Republicans in Congress taking us backward”. But he doesn’t seem to realize we don’t want to go further down the path he and Democrats have taken us.
We want to go back. Back to prosperity. Back to a leaner, more efficient federal government; and back to the increase in personal freedom that would come with it.
Perhaps more than anything else, a great majority of Americans want to go back to a time when the term “public servant” meant “someone who serves the public”; but not in the sense that Rod Serling introduced into our popular culture almost 50 years ago. And that goes for both the Charlie Rangels and the Lisa Murkowskis of DC, who seem more interested in feeding off our resources and gorging themselves than anything else.
The GOP still has a lot to prove, but at the very least they have this going for them: their House leaders have pledged to govern in a manner consistent with the will of the People as it has been expressed by the nationwide Tea Party movement, which encompasses Americans of all creeds, races, and party affiliations.
Democrats? Not so much. Democrats have not embraced the Tea Party movement. On the contrary, they have tried to squash it, smear it, and outright dismiss it. Now it’s time to face the music.

Blogprof: “Memeorandum was abuzz yesterday over supposed revelations that O’Donnell said that she ‘dabbled in witchcraft’ in 1999. The MSM seems to have a long term memory problem, because they neglect that Hillary Clinton more than dabbled in witchcraft – she held a seance at the White House and channeled Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi.”
Only the elites can dabble in the supernatural…or anything else they deny to the “masses”, including having “tax problems”…

Of course he does: E.J. Dionne laments “The Strange Death of Moderate Republicanism”.
It’s not strange at all. With Dems controlling Congress and the White House, so-called “moderate” Republicans (RINO’s, to be precise) are being perceived as who they truly are: part of the problem.
Unfortunately, it took the Pelosi-Reid-Obama axis doing its worst to make evident how harmful “moderate” Republicans actually are. But that’s how it goes. Sometimes it takes a full blown illness to draw attention to neglected, chronic conditions…
