In the wake of the bitter health-care debate and some ugly incidents of violence against Democratic members of Congress, there have been some belated – and halfhearted – appeals from Republican leaders to tamp down the fiery rhetoric on the Right.

In the very arc of his life, Lewis provides a yardstick for measuring American progress. The fact that he rose from that bridge to become a member of Congress says something about this country. But the fact that people demonstrating against healthcare reform chose to chant at him, "Kill the bill, person of color!" well, that says something, too.

Watching the health care debate, it is clear that, while the the Republican Party has legitimate positions, their argument got lost in the lack of civility strategy they employ to influence. Calling people Niggers, Communists, Socialists, Homos, Faggots, and Baby Killers is simplly not a shrewd or smart strategy as evidenced by the results and negative reactions to it in the land of independents and moderates. By not denouncing this strategy across the board and removing those who, some say, roguely employ it, the leadership of GOP has clearly endorsed its' use thinking that it would work. It has not. In fact, its' a major massive turn-off.

Anthony Weiner pulled off the kid gloves and called the GOP a 'Wholly Owned Subsidiary Of The Insurance Industry,' see the video at Crooks and Liars. South Dakota, that center of scientific endeavor and bitter cold, is urged to use astrology to explain global warming to its students by 36 recently evolved members of the state legislature and Jim Hightower provides some guidance on dancing with the devil in today's picks.

That's what has led to the current disaffection by both liberals and conservatives toward government. The American people can sense their rights slipping away, but they have yet to come to terms with what is actually going on. They have yet to realize that congressional gridlock is a convenient way of denying them their rights. They have also yet to recognize that the majority in the senate is allowing the minority to abuse of the filibuster procedure because both parties are in collusion. The Republican filibuster provides cover for the Democratic majority for failing to enact, or greatly watering down, legislation being demanded by the people, but neither party wants to enact.

What if the USA caught up with wiley Osama Bin Laden and captured him. Do you think the Tea Partiers would praise the capture? Yes, of course they would if this was 2007 and their tribal leader George Bush was President. But since it's Obama, hell no! They would react and reject coming up with some weird seemingly logical way to position their opposition. How do we know? Because, they failed the "Test for Validity" exam. What is the Test for Validity exam?

Robert Reich points out that it's Congress that does the legislating around here not Wall Street. SC's Lt Guv finds lots of laughs in the unemployed using food stamps, Jim Hightower can't find the humor. At Tomgram we learn that as we suspected, "The Commercials Are the Super Bowl," and the GOP after preaching the horrors of public insurance wants to ration my Medicare and get its greedy fingers ion my Social Security. All that and more in today's picks

Republican Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer: Poor are Destroying America Breeding Like Rats

In keeping with party advisories, every effort must be used to keep our media assets, not only at Fox and CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and the print media but our hundreds of bloggers “on message.” In keeping with Pat Robertson’s decision to blame the deaths of tens of thousands and the millions homeless on the victims themselves, we will be issuing continual updates on Satan worship, Voodoo while killing any and all stories comparing the Haiti disaster to our failure to quash press stories on our failures during Katrina. Limbaugh himself has suggested that we put him on live TV issuing “Zombie Alerts” and damning the Obama administration for its failure to implement a “Zombification Prevention Program” though the Heritage Foundation had warned of this possibility during their “End of Days, What You Can Do To Be Safe” conference held at George Washington University, Chaired by Dr. Nidal Hasan.
