From Sully’s Cover Story In Newsweek

“This, by any measure, is an astonishing pace of change in one presidential term. In four years Obama went from being JFK on civil rights to being LBJ: from giving uplifting speeches to acting in ways to make the inspiring words a reality. And he did so by co-opting the forces of resistance—like the military leadership. He fooled most of …

Bill Donohue Vs Andrew Sullivan

Catholic League blowhard Bill Donohue is predictably angry about Andrew Sullivan’s Newsweek cover story. The Jesus that Sullivan has created—“calm, loving, accepting,” and, of course, “homeless”—is what happens when “Occupy Wall Street” becomes mistaken for Catholicism. Worse, Sullivan’s “Etch A Sketch” Jesus accounts for his remarkable conclusion that “the cross was not the point” of Jesus’ life. Sullivan’s article reads …

Fox Blurs Out Andrew Sullivan’s Name

Fox News is so pissed about Newsweek’s “Why Are Obama’s Critics So Dumb?” cover, they blurred out Andrew Sullivan’s name under the title. Sully had nothing to do with the title and in fact never makes a “dumb” claim in his article. But Tina Brown’s gotta sell magazines.

Quote Of The Day – Andrew Sullivan

“Under Obama, support for marriage equality and marijuana legalization has crested to record levels. Under Obama, a crucial state, New York, made marriage equality for gays an irreversible fact of American life. Gays now openly serve in the military, and the Defense of Marriage Act is dying in the courts, undefended by the Obama Justice Department. Vast government money has …

Debate Rages On Newsweek’s Bachmann Cover: Did They Do It On Purpose?

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“For a long time, gays and lesbians braver than I was were effectively married and lived together, risking violence and opprobrium and isolation. For decades these bonds existed, and we knew of them even if we never spoke of them. I saw them up close as a young man in the darkest years of the AIDS plague. I saw spouses …

Citizenship Test

Newsweek gave a thousand Americans the same citizenship test given to immigrants and 38% failed. USA! USA! They’re the sort of scores that drive high-school history teachers to drink. When NEWSWEEK recently asked 1,000 U.S. citizens to take America’s official citizenship test, 29 percent couldn’t name the vice president. Seventy-three percent couldn’t correctly say why we fought the Cold War. …
