Ted Rall rightly says its time for Obama to resign

The One’s re-establishment of military commissions is the last straw for Rall, my favorite left-liberal blogger. And, seen as a rhetorical device, Rall’s closing “Obama should resign” is absolutely true.

Of course, when a fairly big conservative blogger shows he knows so little about Rall to claim Rall is a Democrat (he isn’t, of that I’m pretty sure, based on e-mail exchanges going back more than a year), that Rall will have a David Horowitz moment (not to move to the Right, he won’t; he already moved the other direction, leaving the Wall Street investment banking world where he worked before becoming a cartoonist and columnist), and then snidely claims this means Obama has lost un-America shows the problems with both the conservative bloviosphere and the MSLB world that won’t follow Rall.

Of course, “The Other McCain” readers include a person who doesn’t recognize Rall’s call as a rhetorical device, because I know Ted Rall shudders at the idea of President Joe Biden.

Greenwald takes Obama to the woodshed on military commissions

In what’s a long blog even for him, Glenn Greenwald hits President Barack Obama with “everything but the kitchen sink over his lies on military commissions.

Lies? Yes. Contradicting some of his clearest campaign statements to use either civilian courts or traditional military trials, whichever were applicable.

Lies so egregious that Jake Tapper traps Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs into spluttering nonsense when he tries to defend his boss.

But, tell me, Glenn, what will you do three years from now? Will you advocate for the left-hand side of the duopoly, or will you use your platform to tout third-party alternatives?
