I've seen worse on TV. Hey AOL, why are we all being subjected to this rag of a website as the main news? The tripe that is written here is the verbal garbage of the loony left. I want moderate news that resembles journalism. Not opinionated fecal matter being spouted by ignorant Michael Moore types.

Bring back real news and ditch this tabloid please!

Hey No-Name-Plz... were you not aware that AOL was bought out by HUFFPOST??? That is why you see the VERY liberal bent to all it's so called news reporting now... I have watched over the years as AOLnews as gone from a 'relatively' objective news organization to this openly leftist no-holds barred stuff now. Now you know...

Good post Drdonm. It's amazing how much these people love censorship. The original comments column was much, much better...and much more honest and fun.
I remember the knock down drag out fights that used to go on for weeks on end. You could contact posters by e-mail and go into detailed discussions etc. One poster coined a phrase concerning some of the racial stuff that went on...He named it, Cybor Race War. I thought that it was the perfect term, I wish I could remember his tag so I could give him credit. And then there were the different chat rooms for a variety of viewpoints, Gay, Leftist, Young, Black voices etc. Great stuff. Not like this watered down, censored leftist propaganda thing that it is now. Notice how many Palin and other Republican attacks they display and the dearth of negatives about the leftists...That's the plan, appeal to the mindless sociopaths so as to give the impression that they are in the majority...God help this country if it were so.

I guess it's true. I've just noticed a lopsided view with half the facts coming from the front page of my AOL software. There was some article the other day that was strewn with curses and political jabs about some gay issue. Was this a real journalist or some gay hack and why is it linked from my front screen as real news?

This video is no different. (Go to the website in the ad for the full video) They cut out the part where the video shows some gang member stating he was employed by this woman while he raped somebody and she helped him get out of jail (before or after the rape). There are apparently numerous incidents with this woman and gang members commiting crimes while being funded to stop gangs on taxpayer money. Seems to me that this tabloid didn't like how the message was presented and tried to kill the messenger with accusations of racism and editing out the relevant parts of the ad.

Bottomline, L.A. taxpayers have been footing the bill (1.5 million +) for a gang related crime because of this program she is apparently head of... Willie Horton anyone?

This is not new and the right will also realize it will not work any more. They use attack adds because they are literally too out of touch and not smart enough to deal with the real issues. They have no positive solutions so they attack. This is the same party that is slowly chopping down the huge tree that is America. Absolutely no one should be surprised.

Freedom of speech only applies to the Dems. It is Ok for them to throw Gandma off a cliff and it not be offensive. In truth the most ignorant ads just turn people off and are not very wise for anyones campaign.

You are not the brightest coin in the pocket. The dems did that to represent what the right wants to do if they get medicare turned into a voucher program. I always say the facts and the right are like oil and water, they never come together well.
07:37 PM on 06/16/2011
Ahhhh yes..... facts to the Dem's are all relative.... Don't get the facts in their way and they aren't confused ... give them the truth of the facts and more times than not the truth is not relative to them.

Bottom line: Janice Hahn didn't spend a dime on Gang Prevention. She served on the LA City Council which approved money allocated for Gang Prevention. The Mayor office decides on the money is spent. I understand that some of the money went to Anti-Gang Program in Latino community. Many of these programs have help to stop at risk teens from joining the gangs.

Point/Fact: The SCOTUS ruled that CA jails are over packed and have to release many people. I would think that something needs to be put into place to reduce crime and violence. It appears as though just releasing people from jail does not solve the problem Prevention methods should also be put into place.

It seems to me that Republicans are real quick to eliminate Programs to fix problems but don't look further than their nose to see what other problems might be created behind it. Many times their fixes end up costing taxpayer more than the fix already in place. Like repealing health care does no fix the problem and Ryan's plan definitely doesn't fix the problem.

Just wait for democratic ads. When there is something offensive, and there will be, No one will say a thing as they have the right to say what they want. On the other hand, if a republican ad offends a dem, it must be pulled immediately, and an apoligy made. PFFFFF, can you say 1 way street?

I think this is a fairly accurate representation of the attitude of the modern republican party. It reminds me of the swift boat ads they used against Kerry. Why anyone would want to dirty their hands being associated with a party that embraces racism and misogyny is beyond understanding!

The swift boat adds were spot on. As a matter of fact, they could have been harder. John the ketchup man is a first rate phoney and a back stabber. That's what makes that clown so popular with the leftists. Racism and misogeny??? You forgot homophobia and infanticide. Oh, wait, infanticide is the specialty of the Democrats, so sorry.

Support the troops, eh? Unless they bring the truth to the table, as John Kerry did as the leader of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. My husband, a VVAW member, was with Kerry when the VVAW occupied the Capitol Mall. And my aunt, who lost her son in Vietnam, was there in solidarity with the VVAW.

Swift boat clowns had the audacity to smear Kerry, a Senator's son who put his life on the line. Meanwhile, they hailed Bush, another Senator's son, who was nothing but a coward who used his father's influence and a million dollars in Texas taxpayers' money on flight training so he could avoid being sent to Vietnam. Of course, this meant that an unfortunate one like my cousin would die in his stead.

People like you need to crawl back into the hole from whence you came. None of the adjectives I have for you would get past the HuffPo censors, but you deserve them all.

Is it anymore shocking than the LIES and inuendo that are spread by the Huff about the conservatives? I think not, The Huff is a disgusting lieing news site.

Regardless of whether you like her politics or anyone elese, this is just immature, what has this country become? Kids do this sort of thing in school. No wonder other countries laugh at Americans. I wouldn't want any of them i office if this is the type of thing we have to look foreword too. It's no wonder kids have no respect these days, look at these adults, how they act, (great example your setting). Where did the real America go? It seems we have become a shameless Nation.

OK maybe adults can take it in stride but when minors check it out their brains have already photographed it. Not good. I'd say put an ad it its place with a little more class; as if political ads could be considered classy.

No one has to question something that igonrant. Only the right would come up with something so ludicrous and think people buy into it. This is showing me personally they have sunk to even new lows. The lower they go the closer to the heat they get.

Politics is getting uglier every election year. Anybody who takes these ads seriously are fools, and are playing right into the hands of the people who produce them. It was funny though.

I notice that at no time does ms hahn deny what's in the video only that she finds it to be sexist and racist. I see neither. What I see is another kill the messenger tactic used by the socialist democrats.

Big government is not your friend
06:54 AM on 06/16/2011
If your definition of the Tea Party is that they want to destroy the country by making government smaller, cutting entitlements to avoid bankruptcy, and cutting wasteful spending, I'd say you might have missed something. Anyone who works and pays taxes should support them. States have finally woke up to the fact that with the state of the economy, big bloated cradle to grave government is UNSUSTAINABLE. Example-Look at Greece. Socialism is a failure.
