Think Progress Smears Israel and US Conservatives, Forgets to Mention Ultra-Liberal Pelosi

Konservo on June 4th, 2008

Today the head-propagandist at Think Progress, Faiz, has a post that points Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as a war-monger who, somehow, pulls the strings of US politicians:

The Israeli press is reporting today, during a White House meeting today, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will urge President Bush to prepare an attack on Iran

…

The Washington Post’s Dan Froomkin writes that “there are some signs that [Olmert will] have a receptive audience” in his White House meeting. Speaking at AIPAC yesterday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice delivered an “unusually sharp” verbal assault against Iran. Olmert himself told the audience, “We must stop the Iranian threat by all possible means.”

Think Progress

Faiz then goes on to list several “neo-cons” who agree that the Iranian threat is real and who think it’s possible that there might be an American-Israeli strike on Iran before Bush leaves office.

Clearly, Faiz is trying to smear the “neo-cons” as war-mongers and puppets of Zionists in Israel. What Faiz forgets to mention, however, is none other than ultra-liberal Nancy Pelosi has also stated that no option should be written off, this is a clear indication that even Pelosi recognizes the possibility of the need to use force.

But Think Progress would never want to lump Leftists and Liberals like Pelosi in with the evil neoconservatives.

Think Progress Celebrates $4.00 Per Gallon Gas

Eric Odom on May 21st, 2008

Now that gas prices are rising at record rates, the liberal hotbed at Think Progress is going wild with anti-free market rants against oil companies and others who simply aren’t to blame.

Average national gas prices have hit another record high on May 16, climbing to $3.7929 a gallon for regular gasoline. At the same time, average gas prices rose above $4 a gallon in Chicago and New York’s Long Island for the first time. Trilby Lundberg, the editor of the nationwide Lundberg survey of about 7,000 gas stations, says that gas prices “could rise to $4 a gallon on a national average basis.”

Do you notice how Think Progress does nothing other that state “gas prices are high and it will suck for you”? I mean, shouldn’t they mention the reason gas prices are high? Shouldn’t they maybe dive in to some numbers with regards to, say, taxes?

When you consider the fact that gas station owners only end up with about 15 cents per gallon of gas sold and that Exxon was only making 28 cents on a $3.00 gallon of gas?

Or how about the fact that ExxonMobil paid 83 percent of the $8.4 billion it earned in a quarter, $7 billion, $2 billion more than a year earlier, in just federal income tax — and a lot more in other taxes?

Either Think Progress is just celebrating high gas prices for kicks, or they’re doing a heck of a job pushing their “progressive agenda”.
