I'm not going to make for or against conspiracy; I'm not stating my view on whether JFK was killed by Oswald alone; or Lee Oswald did it with other plotters who got away; or by people who framed Oswald (meaning Oswald did not shoot Kennedy at all.

I simply want to know where we on the progressive side stand on the issue.

It's ok to denounce racial attacks against our president. But it's moronic to exaggerate the problem to the point of saying that "all [Presidents prior to Obama], without exception, were treated with the highest respect deserve to the office of the president of the United States," as a race-baiting diarist wrote yesterday.

Um, Republicans voted to impeach Clinton for lying about a blowjob, while 90-100% of Democrats in congress voted again. An overwhelming part of our population also saw it as moronic to impeach Clinton based on these grounds (uncover your eyes and see the polls).

I speak on behalf of those who have always treated conspiracy theorists with disdain. I remember once dismissing a friend as a kook for saying something like "What if (forgot name) was framed by the Mossad? What if he was innocent?" I laughed out loud and proceeded to ask him to remove his tinfoil hat. I even thought he might be anti-semitic, deep inside.

But today's story in the New York Times, reporting that the Mossad doesn't confirm or deny having killed a person while using the identities of innocent British and Irish civilians, has changed my mind.

Here is video of the suspects caught on tape doing their thing.

As you may know, MIT professor Jonathan Gruber gave interviews to and wrote op-eds in several newspapers without disclosing (except once in December) that he was a paid consultant for the Obama administration.

Yesterday (Friday), mainstream journalist Karen Tumulty of Time Magazine defended Gruber by deflecting blame towards journalists. She stated the following:

(referring to the non-disclosure) "Not having done so, by the way, is a failure of jounalists, not any fault of Gruber, who as best I can tell, never did anything to hide those ties.

Robert Gibbs was asked today about Jimmy Carter's recent remark to the effect that most of the opposition to Barack Obama stems from racism.

The Christian Science Monitor Reports:

Does President Obama agree with Jimmy Carter’s charge that Congressman Joe Wilson’s outburst last week was racially based?

Nope. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was continually asked that question today during his press briefing. And he continually said that the White House doesn’t buy it.

“It adds to our dialogue,” Gibbs said. “I’m just simply saying that I don’t think the president agrees with him.”

CBS (9-14-09): Kroft (from 60 minutes show) asked Mr. Obama if he thought the House should rebuke Wilson.

The president chuckled and said, "But see, this is part of what happens. I mean, it becomes a big circus instead of us focusing on health care."

Today in the Washington Post Colbert King says:

There's something loose in the land, an ugliness and hatred directed toward Barack Obama, the nation's first African American president, that takes the breath away.

But progressive media critic Bob Somerby wonders in his Daily Howler website why Colbert seems surprised, considering that a man once opened fire at the White House in 1994 in an attempt to kill Bill Clinton. The man currently serves a 40 year prison sentence.

There's also the man who crashed his Cessna plane into the White House in a possible assassination attempt against Clnton.

Are there any doubts that had this happened today we'd be crying racism?

Hate mail against Somerby for not playing along can be addressed to bobsomerby@hotmail.com

Pats on King's back may be sent here.

Is Barney Frank nuts? Says Wilson's tirade wasn't a big deal

This is surprising to me.

Barney Frank, who is supposed to be on our side, said last night in the Rachel Maddow show that Joe Wilson's "you lie" remarked aimed at President Obama was "not a big deal."

Yes, Frank said that this shows that Obama's speech was effective and the GOP couldn't handle him; but it's not a big deal?

If it's not a big deal, I'd suggest that Frank come to the Daily Kos and see for himself how REAL progressives feel about this disrespectful, racist rant.

Seriously, race-baiters. Get a clue.

We learn from the LA Times that the "Joker" poster was created by a young Chicago resident of Palestinian descent who was a Dennis Kucinich follower during the 2008 primaries. I recently wrote a piece about this subject, but now that my opinion is bolstered by new facts, I'm revisiting it.

An interest statistic, compiled by University of Illinois Professor Robert McCheseny, via Greenwald a few hours ago(update 3):

Conversely, O'Reilly went from making 27 negative mentions of General Electric in February-May 2009, to just two in June and none in July.

I strongly suggest that defenders of the theory that no deal was made

1-) Attack me
2-) Change the subject, or
3-) Hide

Because there is absolutely nothing that can be argued against a position supported by overwhelming evidence. These skeptics would have to explain how O'reilly ceased to attack his favorite punching bag without a favor being returned by the other side (which is evident by the fact that Olbermann completely stopped his attacks on O'reilly/Fox right after the deal was reportedly reached, under the pretext that O'reilly was getting too mean).

People here will hate this diary, because Keith Olbermann did most of you a favor by worshiping your favorite candidate during the primaries (Barack Obama) while wishing that Hillary Clinton had been led to a room from where only the other person could come out. But it is my responsibility to report this, for the sake of bringing balance to this well-intentioned but blinded-by-bias forum. Here it goes:

The day he stopped criticizing Bill O'reilly (June 1st), Keith Olbermann of MSNBC explained that he did so because he had suddenly realized that not attacking O'reilly was the best line of attack.

But K.O. made no mention of the fact that the real reason (according to Glen Greenwald) for this censorship was a mid-May meeting between the owner of General Electric and by extension MSNBC (Jeffrey Immell) and Rupert Murdoch of Fox.
