Sometimes in life you get a second chance for mistakes you make.
When Don Surber, editorial columnist for Charleston's Daily Mail, called Mike Brown an "animal" who deserved to "be put down," and referred to protestors as "packs of racists," he crossed a line where second chances are much harder to come by.

Today Surber was fired by the Daily Mail for his incendiary comments about Mike Brown and protestors and the following statement, titled "Regrets and a Change," was issued:

I have been saying these right wing oil and medical ads are not counted as political in the spending. they are are IMHO. and this is pointed out by stewart. also note that the money these oil companies bring in in one day of income is more than the entire budget of any union in the USA in a year.

Jon Stewart realized that Koch Industries was running ads during his show. So he trolled them.

Virginia News Anchor Has Hissy Fit Over "Defiant Nurse"

That defiant nurse seems to have been right. Why won't the libertarians defend liberty against the clear abuse of two Republican governors acting as demagogues?

The defiant nurse kicks the governor's ass:

he who owns the media makes the profit from political ads. as i have challenged the right wingers to show me the liberals owning the media. well it is virtually so low that one could say it is 90% plus right wing owned.

and right wingers say that money does not matter or influence IE a bunch supreme idiots ruling. in political spending but cite no evidence that is true.

here is the issue i have brought up but do not EVER hear th media talking about it. Dems raise this money for political advertising and give it to the right wing....................

The liberal media (yeah, I know; that's redundant) support most or all of these myths/lies/talking points/total BS despite reams of proof to the contrary:
1. Spending more money improves education.
2. Government spending stimulates the economy.
3. Republican candidates always have a big spending advantage over Democrats.
4. Raising the minimum wage helps the poor.
5. Global warming is causing increasingly violent weather.
6. Genetically modified food is dangerous.
7. Voter ID laws suppress minority turnout.
8. ObamaCare is gaining popularity.
9. The Keystone XL pipeline would increase oil spills.
10. Women are paid 77 cents on the dollar compared with men.

In her WSJ Op-Ed, Kate Bachelder very briefly (lest it be a book rather than an Op-ed) disproves them. At http://tinyurl.com/mly5wzn , Bret Rickert (?) presents her points.

Poor mac will still be typing his desperate rebuttals when the pumpkin pie is served.

isobars, am I convinced that the author's points outlined in your posted link make a convincing argument? Quite frankly, no. I think that it's a bit disingenuous to use selective facts to make a case. There's a reason why brevity had to be used to summarize the arguments against 10 very important topics. To most thoughtful folks, I think that a greater wealth of facts would most certainly reveal a different story than what has been presented in the commentary.

Regarding spending for education, what do you think it costs to upgrade our educational system to integrate computers in the process and keep things current? In 1976, computers weren't in the picture. The world of education has changed considerably, and that should be acknowledged.

Now, even a non-expert like myself can raise valid points to question what you accept as a convincing argument. What does that say? I could go on point by point to address the whole list, but it's not worth my time. You need to open your mind to a greater array of pertinent facts that exist outside the small bubble that you create for yourself.
