Let’s Play The Bill Ayers Game!
Inspired by a C&L link over at atrios (who gets enough linkage as it is)
One of the favorite tactics right-wing racist republican haters like to play is a game called “Guilt By Association”, or GBA for short. It goes like this:
Barack Obama sat on a board of directors with Bill Ayers, a rehabilitated criminal [...]
Rush Limbaugh is Bitter. We Know He Clings to Oxy-Contins and Smuggled Viagra, No Word of Guns and God
The Fat Blob on Colin Powell’s endorsement:
“Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race,” Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail. “OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I’ll let you know what I come up with.”

Gail Collins is a Hoot!
Is Anybody Happy?
First of all, George W. Bush showed up on TV Friday morning to reassure the nation. What could possibly be worse?

That person is Sandra Shea, who has been running the Daily News op-ed page since July 2006. In that time, Christine Flowers has been nothing but the voice [...]
Shorter Christine Flowers: Obama is Black. Boogedy Boogedy.
Another steaming pile from Philadelphia’s own Wicked Witch of the West:
I’M WHITE, and I’m not voting for Barack Obama.
So what? Who cares who you vote for? And who cares what color you are either?
To some people, that makes me a racist. Doesn’t matter that I would never have voted for Hillary Clinton or John [...]
The New York Times Makes a BIIIIIG Scoop: Joe Biden, Like Everyone Else in Congress, Is Rich. Also, Sun Rises in East.

Writing at Media Matters, Eric Boehlert points out the consequences of a media that concentrates more on making up stories than on actual reporting:
