I think that got covered on Maddow late this week too. In their initial add, NOM (national organization for marriage) talked about a "rainbow coalition".
Ana Marie Cox is beside herself with 2m4m, nom, and teabagging jokes.
Teabagging in the News! First off, those newspeople are so hysterical when they talk, no one can make sense of them. Jane Velez is an example of loud, hysterical frantic screaming about basically nothing bad. Jane needs a break, a tea break. The only person in recent history who tried to initiate an anti-gay movement was the lady who used to promote orange juice in commerials, but ultimately, it doesn't work, because our country is truly great in spite of everything, my lack of money, joblessness, everything, we have a constitution that is unbeatable in the world. Even straight people like me are protected - sort of. Well, we're getting there. One day at a time, one step at a time, taking it one day at a time, one, moment by moment, but I become hysterical. I must pause for some tea. No, people!!! Rally to the battlecry!!! I feel we are all doing basically pretty well considering the weather, and because of the inclement weather I propose a Tea Break! Dare I mention the tea that I like the best? Dare I? Will it dissappear from the marketplace, the moment I declare that TEA is truly a great drink?
In Holland they sell mushroom tea in smart shops - it's just a little mushroom and it's mostly for tourists - but it's not like it does nothing - THAT'S the kind of tea either he's on or his mom was when she had him.
It's actually one of the nicest ways to cope with an A.M. hangover.

"awesome circuits" - that has got to be stupidest G-D thing...
I was referencing her first mention of it the previous day (didn't realize she't hit on it again). Even the stage crew was trying to keep from laughing...
I love the headline:
"Obama chokes on tea bags, tries to get America to swallow his tax lies"
Would you care to put your tea where your mouth is and explain precisely what Obama has said that you believe is a "lie"? Careful -- it might require big words of more than one syllable... calling people empty names doesn't count either...
"Obama said his stimulus program provides a tax cut for "95 percent of working households" and later said that a cut would go to 95 percent of "working families." That calls for some explanation. The key words are "working" and "cut."
He's referring to the "making work pay" refundable tax credit, which is only available to workers. As we pointed out previously on The FactCheck Wire, there would be no credit for retirees or those who are unemployed. A Tax Policy Center analysis found that a more modest 75.5 percent of all households would benefit, whether their members are working or not.
It is also questionable whether all of the tax refunds can properly be called "tax cuts." The credit is refundable and, therefore, is going to many who earn so little that they pay no federal income taxes in the first place. The White House calls them tax cuts, but the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office officially scores the bill’s refundable credits under "direct spending."
Of course, this could be characterized as being mistaken, or obfuscation, rather than "lying". I'd be tempted to say so, had not so many on the left insisted that any untrue statement by Bush was "a lie", whether or not it was intentional, knowing untruth or not...
So to follow the left's own customary policy---yes, Obama lied about this.
