Open thread for documenting the constant variety of cable news hackery. Tonight! Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot and other observations.

PNAC Neocon Ken Adelman…
...obviously endorsed Senator Obama because Adelman is black. Wait. Huh? Adelman's white? Oh.
'All About Race'
If Powell's endorsement was "all about race," as Rush Limabugh and others belched out today, why didn't Powell endorse Al Sharpton or Carol Moseley Braun four years ago? Or what about Jesse Jackson...
Dracoooolah
He's back: Prominent McCain surrogate Rudy Giuliani today urged the media to look into Barack Obama's past drug use -- even though he explicitly said last November that it shouldn't be an issue and...
Pollgasm
The "tightening race" narrative might have some very, very, very thin validity, but not really. Today's Gallup poll widened in favor of Obama. 52-43, as opposed to 51-44 yesterday. R2000 also widened...
Sound Familiar?
54 years later, who turned out to be the hero in this chapter? Murrow or McCarthy? McCain, Palin and especially Michelle Bachmann need to take a cold hard look at history and determine how they'd...
Socialism by Any Other Name
Kleefeld reminds us: Sarah Palin is the governor of a state that practices collective ownership of oil and other natural resources, and equally distributes the state's cut of the revenues to every...
Republican Chuck Hagel…
...is supporting Senator Obama clearly because Hagel is black. What? Hagel is white? So you mean a Republican can support Senator Obama irrespective of race? Somebody tell Limbaugh and Buchanan and...
He Wears It Well
The McCain Plan for Victory: Combine Nixon's race-baiting Southern Strategy with good old fashioned McCarthyism. The result? Campaigning in a traditionally Republican state, the Democratic nominee...
Ten Grand for Obama – Update
We've slowed a little bit in the last few days, but we're still far beyond where I expected us to be at this point. If we can break $5000 by midnight tonight, we'll be two weeks away and 50 percent...
Reminder To Mr. Scarborough
Sarah Palin's favorable number is 38 percent. Her unfavorable number is 58 percent. She's not popular. Sorry.

30 Days, 30 Reasons – Number 16
Number 16 - His Background by Lee Stranahan
White On White Action
Lieberman split from his caucus to endorse John McCain. I wonder if it's because McCain is white. Of course that's not the case, and neither is it the case with Colin Powell.
Open Letter to Cable News
Dear Cable News, You have a responsibility to debunk and watchdog race-baiting. It's not a topic to be discussed as you would an ordinary campaign tactic. The voters, politicians and pundits who deal...
Afternoon Awesome
Step Off, Republicans
The Sunday morning Republicans astonish me. The cable news Republicans, too. Four and eight years ago, the Buchanans and Gingriches wheeled out the same ridiculous lies about the Democratic...
St. Louis
Crowd estimates are now at 175,000.
Colin Powell Endorses Senator Obama
On Meet the Press just now, Powell stongly endorsed Senator Obama. And on FOX News Sunday, McCain countered by ballyhooing the endorsement he received from Alexander Haig! Goddamn. McCain's insane...
Watergate
Wow. Watching FOX News Sunday. McCain's new smear is to connect Senator Obama's fundraising with... Watergate. Watergate! In other words, by refusing public financing -- an option enacted after...
