Backstabbing RINOs in action GERALDO RIVERA (02 May 2013): The immigration policies of the Republican party, as driven by the talk-show, the talk-radio crowd, are forcing the Republicans again into their draconian, anti-immigrant [position]. In the wake of the Boston bombings, I think immigration reform is in peril, and I wonder [about] the fate of the party going forward because it's cutting off…
THOM HARTMANN (02 May 2013): I think, frankly, though, the Republicans' hope is that the [GOP nominee's] name is Gabriel Gomez, like this is the Republicans' idea of being inclusive is [to] get people with ethnic names. They think Ted Cruz might win the presidency 'cause 'Cruz' sounds like it's Hispanic.
STEPHANIE MILLER (01 May 2013): The government is moving the morning after pill over the counter. They’re moving it over the counter but only those fifteen and older can buy it attempt to find middle ground just days before a court imposed deadline to lift all restrictions, which I think they should do. Don’t you, it’s an emergency contraception, that’s what it is; it’s not an abortion pill.…
EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON (The Al Sharpton Show) (22 April 2013): In the instant I mean literally the instant I heard a week ago the Boston Marathon bombing, I cringed, I said oh boy, here we go again. Right away the media started in on it. It was speculation didn’t have one fact didn’t have one piece of information didn’t know anything, but right away, Muslim and of course linking that with…
BILL PRESS (25 April 2013): Let’s just talk about accessibility to the press between the Bush years and the Obama years. DAVID JACKSON (USA Today): Oh boy that’s a hot potato. It was mostly probably more during the Bush years oddly enough. BILL PRESS: Really?
ERIC BOEHLERT (22 April 2013): There was just an absolute burning desire to find a Middle Eastern guy to be the suspect and and and the New York Post and you know other conservative outlets like Glenn Beck they proved they’ll just make it up. You know it was such a burning desire to have the story fit the narrative that they wanted that they were willing and they have the media tools to just…
REV AL SHARPTON (19 April 2013): We don’t know that ah that these two are connected in any way to ah those feelings in Chechnya. We don’t know whether they were Muslim we don’t know whether they were on the Chechnyan side...
RAY IN NEW YORK: Well we...
REV. AL SHARPTON: ...or the other side of the Russian thing. But, let’s say all of that is true. All right, go ahead.
RAY IN NEW YORK: No I’m…
JOHN FUGELSANG (19 April 2013): Liberals have got to be the sane ones here because we know that conservatives are going to be saying crazy things because they are of Muslim decent. So, it’s a good time for progressive to keep their heads on straight. [...]DAVID SHUSTER (19:34): I can give you an update on stupidity from the right we have now Senator Chuck Grassley who has made an official…
REV AL SHARPTON (17 April 2013): One of the things that’s so interesting to me is that with all of these threats and all of these actual attacks, three people dead in Boston, one an eight year old child, we see the prosecutors killed in Texas, they made an arrest on that today, why are we even debating background checks in the Senate? I mean how can we have such upheaval such bedlam and people…
MARK POTOK (Southern Poverty Law Center) (16 APRIL 2013): You know, I've never seen anything like this from the radical right, you know, bombs simply in the middle of random crowds. I mean, look, I mean, I don't have any particular feeling about where this may have come from, but you know, maybe it's worth thinking about the target a little bit. I mean, one thing that the targets were not was the…
