‘Creepy small cultists’: ThinkProgress guarantees Obamas ‘are our parents now’

http://twitter.com/#!/mamaswati/status/445586275383652352

What’s incorrect with ThinkProgress? Merely merely just exactly how much time are you experiencing?

If you missed it, ThinkProgress isn’t great at thinking:

http://twitter.com/#!/thinkprogress/status/445585257203777536

In the woman own piece, “The Nationwide federal government features really turned the parental whenever you consider the government,” TP’s Tara Culp-Ressler addresses the everywhere government’s penchant for making making use of “the language of parenting as a guitar to argue for program.” She acknowledges that there’s review with this paternalistic strategy, but that’s regarding she’s prepared get. She doesn’t may actually have challenging along side it. Undoubtedly, she seems the Obamas performed a pretty great work:

The method of acting mum or dad or mom isn’t a fantastic method, particularly about women’s dilemmas. But both Obama together with his friend being capable mainly knowledge as real, and that’s for their capacity to undermine presumptions about these along with his or her challenge. For political leaders hence is continually apt to be “twice as good” — and, in certain practices, have actually actually actually embraced this framing the black-colored area — it’s perhaps not a shock that they’ve plumped for to boost upon this portion of household values.

Ugh. Maybe not a shock, maybe. Nevertheless it’s extremely sickening however.

ThinkProgress: Criticism of lying liar Wendy Davis is totally sexist, you guys

http://twitter.com/#!/katearthsis/status/425677832166322176

As Twitchy reported, media lapdogs like those at MSNBC and CBS were quick to label criticism of lying liar Wendy Davis as part of some conservative conspiracy to ruin the gubernatorial hopeful’s credibility. Now, ThinkProgress is taking it a step further, accusing Davis’ critics of — what else? — sexism:

http://twitter.com/#!/thinkprogress/status/425672654830714880

ThinkProgress trivializes genuine examples of sexism with garbage like this.

So, being a woman means never having to tell the truth. As long as you’re a liberal woman, anyway.

Welcome to feminism.

http://twitter.com/#!/hboulware/status/459014302641299457

Well, ThinkProgress has finally admitted what we’ve known all along: The IRS unfairly targeted certain political groups. It’s about time!

Oh, wait:

http://twitter.com/#!/JuddLegum/status/459013838537785344

Oy.

http://twitter.com/#!/JuddLegum/status/459014652757045248

“Worth the wait.” Guess we’ll have to wait longer for libs to admit the IRS singled out a whole lot more conservative groups for extra scrutiny.

http://twitter.com/#!/JammieWF/status/459018186651095040 http://twitter.com/#!/BecketAdams/status/459014221779726336

Yep:

http://twitter.com/#!/RBPundit/status/459014855471955968

Indeed, the IRS inspector general would beg to differ with ThinkProgress’ findings:

http://twitter.com/#!/coolhandschlute/status/459017815123431425 http://twitter.com/#!/GenNerd/status/459025118367588352

As HotAir’s Allahpundit explained last year:

According to [IRS IG Russell] George, six of the 20 progressive groups that applied for tax-exemption between 2010 and 2012 received close scrutiny. Of the 292 tea-party groups that applied, …all 292 did. In fact, didn’t the IRS claim that it started flagging tea-party applications systematically in 2010 because the movement was exploding and groups’ applications for exemption were piling up? (That was a lie too, but that was their story.) That’s the supposed “nonpolitical” explanation for all this — the tea-party movement was unique in how quickly it rose and how widely it spread and therefore the agency had to look closely to make sure groups weren’t violating 501(c)(4) all over the country by meddling in campaigns. If that’s the left’s preferred narrative for what happened, then why would they think progressive groups were targeted equally or at all? There was, and is, no lefty equivalent of the movement. You can believe that institutional bias against conservatives was at work here or you can believe that tea partiers, due to the movement’s size and its interest in primaries, deserved extra scrutiny under the rules against campaigning by “social welfare” groups. The “progressives were targeted too” theory doesn’t fit with either. Especially when you remember that the president’s own political shop, Organizing for Action, somehow remains a 501(c)(4) in good standing.

In other words, ThinkProgress doesn’t seem to be telling the whole story. Color us shocked.

— igorvolsky (@igorvolsky) October 1, 2014

Let’s provide him a chance to clarify, hmmm?

And think of Obamacare, laws Republicans wanted to defund? Also is playing strive to avoid an epidemic. Research suggests that individuals simply who can be lacking health care insurance hold-off or miss healthcare solutions or substitute home cures or more the countertop medications for medical practitioner visits that may determine steering clear of the scatter of communicable disease. Those that have making use of system required interest are less oftimes be prone to problem, causing improvements face-to-face and community energy.

Recommendations also establishes an avoidance and Public wellness Fund proclaiming available you issue and community regulating figures with extra resources which will help “prevent, detect, and solution problem outbreaks” and contains programs which might be “leveraged to include readiness into everyday healthcare expenses and also to assist produce stronger system and crisis medical care expenses circulation methods that’ll surge to answer catastrophes.”

Basically, Us americans appears safeguarded that Ebola will be within the us because we’ve establish a durable federal government funded medical care costs system that, in collaboration because of the special organization, shields everybody from a domestic location health tragedy. Any wellness crisis functions as a reminder exactly why healthcare is a public great instead of a unique product become obsessed with relation to the no-cost marketplace.

Obamacare was indeed built to fight ebola. In addition, We benefit ThinkProgress and eat-all the glue. https://t.co/y9HuCUWzhc
