Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

Gateway Pundit, how I love thee (platonically).

The guy’s prolific,  and catches wonderful jems like the above AP article, where they attribute tax breaks for homeowners (scheduled to kick in next year) to one Sen. Isakson (D-GA).

Which is all well and good, except for the tiny, tiny error that Sen. Isakson (D-GA) is actually Sen. Isakson (R-GA).

The AP has now corrected the article, but were it only so simple a matter to erase its effects.  It could well have been mere carelessness (particularly given that there seem to be no editors in existence any longer), or it could have been deliberate mischief.

After all, remember how the media has the tendency to not write the word “Democrat” when Democrats are caught doing something that they shouldn’t be doing?  Well, this is just the logical next step – not mentioning the association of the guilty party was only reactive, so perhaps the AP has decided to embark upon a more proactive strategy whereby anything good is automatically allocated to Democrats and anything bad to the Republicans.

Crawl into a corner and die, AP.

I know it.  You know it.  And they themselves know it.

But the MSM and the Democrats have a grand old time propagating the myth of their existence, regardless.  Why would they do this?

Apart from their duty to misinform, it’s wonderfully helpful in making the Democratic Party seem less monolithic and extreme left than it really is.  It’s a great tool for swaying the not-entirely-convinced voter, by making making them think that they’re voting for a member of the Democratic Party who is infinitesimally more responsible than the rest.

Which, of course, is a lie.

The supposedly robust and principled Blue Dog opponents to cap ‘n’ tax were bought off by a whopping $2,000 each.

And their similarly lauded opposition to state-run health care has now gone the way of the dodo, too, as AP reports.

You’ll notice how, in the first paragraph and throughout the article, the hack (David Espo) refers to the Blue Dogs as the “party’s rebellious rank-and-file conservatives.”

Note to AP: just because the Blue Dogs allegedly want slightly lower (but still astronomically high) government spending, that in no way makes them conservative.  It only makes them microscopically less uber-liberal .

Still, any opportunity to denigrate the word “conservative” is a good opportunity, right David?

It never lets up.

Hot on the heels of Newsweek’s Evan Thomas proclaiming Obama to be “sort of God”, comes an Associated Press report from Paris that, rather than containing the slightest amount of factual information, is just an account of what a nice guy the president is.

And, predictably, they’ve got quotes aplenty from sycophantic supporters, who aren’t sought after because they mirror the sentiments of the journalists themselves.  Perish the thought.

The best is from Jacques Boudon, owner of a restaurant where Obama ate, who stated, without a hint of hyperbole, that:

“I saw God before me because I saw this smile that a million people have seen around the world.”

For disdainful atheists, the Left sure doesn’t have much problem with declaring The One to be The One.

There’s a really great article over at AP, nominally on the perceptions that (white) Americans have of President Obama.

It goes something like this:

Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!  Racist!

Incisive stuff.
