Gary Johnson: Newt Gingrich Supported Death Penalty For Marijuana Even Though He ‘Smokes Marijuana’

Johnson’s statement about Gingrich’s support for the death penalty is somewhat misleading. He conflates Gingrich’s personal use of marijuana with the amount of pot that a smuggler or a dealer might have. Still, under Gingrich’s proposed law, you could be put to death for possession of as little as 200 joints, which is equal in volume to a carton of cigarettes...  Read more:   Mediaite

Occupy DC Protesters Push Back Against Coverage Of Sexual Assaults At Camps

One of the subplots of the Occupy Wall Street movement is the exploitation of reports of sexual violence by opponents of the movement, particularly conservatives stung by the negative press that the Tea Party received. At Occupy DC Monday, I spoke with several of the protesters to see if they were aware of the issue, what they thought of the coverage, and most importantly, what was being done to keep people safe....  Read more:   Mediaite

Today Lewis appeared on Chris Hayes‘ show to explain the circumstances of his arrest...  Read more:   Mediaite

Colmes chided Gallagher, and the media, for focusing on the actions of a small number of protesters, but what really set Gallagher off was Colmes’ comparison of OWS to the Tea Party...  Read more:   Mediaite
