Unidentified sources of the tax day protests recently stated that organizers advised protesters to organize their days so that they may be able to arrive on time and be involved in the activities of April 15, 2010. Below is a leaked copy of a list that one of the protesters constructed.

Yes, I do read foxnews and drudgereport at times in order to see what they're writing about, which tends to result in me shaking my head in disbelief. However, today's headline really is taking it to a new level I believe. Their live coverage of the Scott Roeder sentencing is entitled:

Sentencing for Activist Who Gunned Down Abortion Doctor

With the passage of health care reform, we now need to focus on not selling it, but rather, educating people. We have heard the dishonesty and misinformation regarding the new law, such as "It's free healthcare" or "giving money to lazy people". I like this site like the next person and love reading all the diaries and information. However, let's do something with it. Let's educate using a way that we can reach hundreds of thousands of people. Please join me in pledging to write 1000+ letters to local and national newspapers for publication. There is actually a great tool to use on Organizing For America. Please read below.

Remember when French President Nicolas Sarkozy was the talk of the rightwing? Remember when they would praise him for mocking President Obama? When they were writing all over their blogs that Sarkozy called Obama "naive". Or when Sarkozy disagreed with Obama when he asked European countries to pass similar stimulus packages in April 2009. He was the talk of the right and their example of foreign leaders not "respecting" our President.

Short diary. Luke Russert just reporting it. It is being reported that a GOP Congressman yelled "Baby Killer" at Stupak. No civility at all. We need to out this congressman.

Is the title far fetched? Maybe. But let's not only look at one aspect of a quote I am going to share. On Faux News, there is an article entitled Miss Beverly Hills Lauren Ashley Opposes Same Sex Marriage and it's very ineteresting what she said. See below.

The moment I heard of the devastating earthqauke in Haiti, my wife and I lit a candle, which is still burning. However, I was appalled (as I always am) at the forum at Fox News which is entitled "How Much Longer Will America Be Able to Ride to the Rescue?"

In it, the author states:

Once again, America will rush in -- with food aid, with temporary shelters, with emergency services. The American military may even will "invade" temporarily -- with rescue and recovery efforts, water purification facilities, infrastructure rebuilding equipment.

America’s rush to come to the aid of the world’s most disadvantaged nations once disaster strikes is so routine it’s taken for granted -- whether it’s a tsunami in Thailand or an earthquake in Ecuador.

What's more appalling are the comments and the politicizing of the tragedy. Have these people no shame or human decency?

Here are some of the comments.

Fox News is getting really good at this. They are becoming experts at inserting nontruths in their articles taht may be difficult to pick up on, but have one goal. To distort the facts and history.

I do go to fauxnews (dot) com to read what they have to say, and yes, it upsets me many times. Why do I put myself through that torture?

One of their frontpage articles has to do with the regulatory overhaul. Here is the very first sentence in the article:

A year after Wall Street failures plunged the U.S. into recession

I am a life long democrat and am very proud if it. I was a township coordinator in Indiana, a state that went blue in 2008 for the first time in 1964 and for that momentous occassion, I am very proud of as well. I must me honest though. I read these blogs and I recognize the frustration and anger with Obama's coming plan to send more troops to Afghanistan. However, I don't understand them.

During the debate yesterday on the House floor, Rep. Steve King stated that "all Americans have healthcare. Every single one". Of course he means that if they need to be seen in the ER of a hospital in case of an emergency, they will be. However, is this having healthcare? Absolutely not! Here's my plan/idea...

At Politico, Ben Smith blogged the Elie Wiesel Foundations response to the holocaust signs at the hate gathering yesterday. Elie Wiesel commented:

This kind of political hatred is indecent and disgusting

Here's a man who survived a concentration camp, had parts of his family exterminated, and witnessed genocide. He is a survivor speaking out against the comparison of the holocaust and health care. Well, the repugs took offense to this truth and attacked Wiesel in their comments/posts. Here are a bunch of them. And they wonder why Obama got 75% of the Jewish vote? Absolutely disgusting.
