Snoop D. Dogg: Obama Gets KKK Funding [Dan Collins]

This is an outrageous calumny! We give all our campaign donations to Ron Paul! Others commenting: Jules Crittenden, McQ, Joyner. I challenge you, Mr. Dogg–if that is your real name–to a duello (Marquise de Sade Rules)! I demand satisfaction!  I nominate Dr. Ric Caric my second.  Choice of weapons is yours.  I expect your reply, Sir, within these 24 hours.

The "Moderate" Voice calls Phil Gramm a terrorist [Karl]

At the so-called Moderate Voice, Shaun Mullen has an interesting concept of terrorism.  Former Sen. Phil Gramm, now an adviser to John McCain’s presidential campaign, is a “terrorist in pinstripes” for his sponsorship of the Financial Services Modernization Act.  Mullen blames the law for the subprime mortgage meltdown… because Barack Obama says so.  You really cannot get more moderate than that.

Salon's Blog Report Closes Shop [Dan Collins]

Too bad.  One of the only worthwhile parts of Salon shuts down: The Blog Report The Blog Report closes its doors: Three years and 12,000 blog posts later, the Blog Report is no more – Regrettably, Salon.com has decided to close down the Blog Report, which I’ve been editing for more than two years, after inheriting the site from my friend Peter Daou. It’s been a pleasure highlighting content from the

GOP 2008: McCain talking about his life? It's a Rovian plot! [Karl]

Marc Ambinder blows the lid off the story that John McCain’s “biography tour” may have been Karl Rove’s idea.  This blockbuster info was supplied to him by his “G,” “a reliable man of integrity” who took notes when Rove spoke at the University of Pennsylvania on Feb. 20. Mind you, this was not some super-secret event.  Rove’s advice was printed in the school paper at the time.  He gave the same basic advice
