Michael Moore to Glenn Beck: F--k Off

And he's tired of Democrats being 'wusses'

(Newser) – Michael Moore has some choice words for Democrats, whom he calls "wusses" in separate interviews, and Glenn Beck. Highlights from his talks with Raw Story and The Young Turks, the latter recounted at the Huffington Post:

"You know, I tell you, these Democrats are disgusting. Wimps and wusses and weasels. You know, get some spine. This is why I have to admire the Republicans. They at least stand for something."

On Democrats' reluctance to take on insurance companies: "It's embarrassing, it's disgusting and I won't have it anymore. I'm sick of them."
On what he would have said to Glenn Beck if he were ousted Obama adviser Van Jones: "Fuck off! That's what I would have said."
On Jim Bunning: "He was an angry pitcher. He was crazy then, and he's crazy now."
On the economic system: "It's not going to get fixed. There's going to be another crash (over commercial real estate and credit card debt). ... The crash of '08 is going to look like coming attractions."

Your right. Democrats stand for nothing. Not only do they lack a set of balls, there not capable of finding good canidates. Look at the two Bush elections and the senate race in Mass

I heard Michael Moore wants to pass the baton. He should give it to Director Sandra Mohr (Moore...Mohr...That works!). Her movie "Stock Shock" pulled the rug out from under Wall Street manipulators. Educating the average investor in a new and personal way. The DVD is pretty much everywhere. Amazon has a movie trailer.

Limbaugh Tops Newsweek's 'Power List'

Sarah Palin is 'most influential' political female at No. 6, just behind Jon Stewart

(NEWSER) - Who's your daddy? Apparently, for many Americans, it's Rush Limbaugh. The Mouth tops Newsweek's "Power List" of the most influential political personalities in America, which is based on earnings as an indication of clout. Limbaugh pulled in an estimated $58 million last year, more than $22 million ahead of his closest contender, Glenn Beck. He's millions ahead of President Obama, who ranks 19th. Conservatives in general rake in far bigger bucks than the liberals: Jon Stewart, at No. 5, is tagged as the highest ranking leftish figure, having raked in some $15 million last year. More»

Stewart's Schtick Didn't Galvanize Dems

Politico: Rally was a very funny political failure

(NEWSER) - The Democrats may not be laughing come election day. This weekend's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear was a comedic success, but a strategic failure, argue James Hohmann, Marin Cogan, and Byron Tau on Politico . By putting parody above partisan politics, Jon Stewart denied the left a "galvanizing moment" just three days before the polls. Even participants seemed to doubt that the rally would make a difference. More»

Thousands Rally in DC to Counter Tea Party

Labor unions, civil rights groups organize 'One Nation' event

(NEWSER) - Left-leaning supporters staged a rally of their own in Washington today. Tens of thousands of progressives gathered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for the "One Nation Working Together" rally, reports the Washington Post . The goal of the event—organized by groups including the NAACP and the AFL-CIO—is to counter the rallies held by tea partiers of late and to gin up support among Democrats a month before the midterm elections, says the Post.

Liberals Fast Losing Faith in Democrats

Only one-third approve of Dem-controlled Congress

(NEWSER) - Congress is once again playing the role of the nation's whipping boy, with its approval rating hitting a basement-dwelling 18% in a new USA Today/Gallup poll suggests. And while it's no surprise that conservatives disapprove of the Democrat-controlled Capitol, support has plummeted among left-wingers: Only 32% and 35% of those who define themselves as liberal or very liberal, respectively, approve, while just a year ago, about half were giving a thumbs up, the LA Times reports.

Joan Walsh of Salon defends her answer on 'Morning Joe'

(NEWSER) - Righty bloggers are teeing off on Joan Walsh of Salon because of her appearance on Morning Joe yesterday, in which she maintained that liberals have no voices as extreme as Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck. (NewsBusters weighs in with a list here , with Keith Olbermann's name in capital letters.) Walsh defends her response today in Salon : "I didn't name anyone not because I was stumped; it was because in my opinion, the violent rhetoric is coming from the right, not the left." More»
