Has WAPO come out against the "Abortion Barbie" smear



It's amazing how fast Republicans hit the fainting couch when somebody attacks one of their candidates. Speaking of hypocrisy.

What

took him so long? A lot of us already *knew* it was a bad idea to begin with, not to mention unnecessary. His dissent is welcome but now voter ID is being pushed everywhere around the country. How do we dismantle these laws, particularly since SCOTUS has, I believe, upheld them as well?

I suspect acid

It's the only possible explanation for some of the stuff they say.

Yeah

It's hilarious (and sad) that the MSM doesn't hit the fainting couch with the vapors until a Dem gets rough on a Republican.

I get that people shouldn't be too cavalier about Ebola

But how does sowing cynicism and mistrust about government help things? Most people are probably more afraid than not about Ebola. Running around saying that the CDC is lying to us or acting like they are misguided or ill informed is only going to provoke more unnecessary anxiety and prevent people from seeking help and information. Do we want people listening to the CDC or Fox?

Concerned but not panicked

It sounds like an awful disease but, thankfully, not as easy to spread as some things. I will feel better once it gets under control in West Africa.

I like Cenk like I like Moore

Both of them are blowhards whom occasionally have some good things to say and are able/willing to say things that make TPTB uncomfortable and shake up the status quo but are sometimes also very blind to the political realities that President Obama and Democrats in general have to contend with.
