Liberal Blog Twists Bob Grant Issue Into Partisan Attack
STINK PROGRESS
Lefties Spin Grant Award Spat, Ignore Truth
A major lefty blog has decided to use the Bob Grant lifetime achievement award withdrawal flap for partisan spin purposes, with laughably dishonest results.
 
And in order for Think Progress to make the smear piece work, they actually ignored similar praise for Grant’s legacy coming from their own side of the fence. How’s that for political sleaze?

Wow… just went over and waded through the sewer that the libs are creating over this whole thing… what a mess. No matter WHAT the causation behind this shooting they’re over there at the ‘stinkprogress’ website cookin away like a bunch of demented conspirercy freaks. You would think that BY NOW if us conservatives were REALLY out to get them, that they themselves would have been tracked don, killed and skinned and that’d be that… talk about a bunch of wingnuts

Short ‘n’ Stubby: Booby prize edition
Posted by Sabina Becker on December 16, 2009 5:53 PM
And today’s prize boobies are…
Matthew Yglesias of Think Progress, for getting Honduras and Ecuador mixed up. Just because they both grow bananas for the Yew Ess of Ay, is no reason for a so-called foreign policy expert to flunk geography. Or to misspell “daft”, come to that, because a coup in Honduras IS a big deal to Hondurans and their friends abroad, and to handle it (or mishandle it) as Obama & Co. did, is daft as a Bush. At this rate, Think Progress will be called Stink Progress.
