Comments

The issues raised, as trivial as they are, will leave little meat on the bones for McCain to attack! That is probably the most enlightened point on this whole program.

Program Note:

For the Primary Season
The role of Fox News will be played by ABC

Getting really ugly out there. All the racial hatred is coming out of the woodwork in some of the most improbable houses.....

Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton are finally being seen for what they are........I have always been a Democrat. I know now why people became Independant party voters....I am changing my party affiliation......

The NBC "debates" were good? Dan....pot, kettle, black. Your program, your station, your reporting, is nothing to write home about.

Roy Seykoff was too funny! I love it!

MSNBC is just now showing a replay of Obama in North Carolina in which he scratched his face with his middle finger. They are asking us to believe he was "flipping off" Hillary. Can they get any crazier. Wait an hour and it will probably be posted here with huge headlines. If not here you do know ABC will certainly make it headlines.

Where is all that grace she was babbling about on the Compassion Show?

All I see is a vicious graceless woman. Always wearing that "he done me wrong"

attitude on her sleeve.

Obama is the more "politically correct" candidate. Democrats have an epidemic of political correctness and lack of vision simultaneously.

Clinton is pragmatic and effective. She also is a women.
The US of A is seeing on of the darkest seasons of misogynistic media treatment and American males are certainly taking the opportunity to say what they really feel about powerful women, or women being in power. The average American male is less racist then they are "machistas".

Is that what you call progress?
Very interesting sociological conclusion.

Hmm. To me the only good thing about Clinton is that she is a woman. It's her behavior that is a major problem.

Elton John is that you?

I really enjoyed seing Sekoff on MSNBC last night.They should have him on more often....We need some fresh voices for a change. Get rid of Buchanan,Scarborough and Tucker ...I hate those three assholes.

I have a question for Hillary. You admit that you lied but that it was because you were tired. Fair enough. However, you are running for President, one of the most exhausting jobs on the planet. You're going to be tired alot, especially at 3 AM when you are asking to trust you the most. If you have a tendency to lie, albeit inadvertantly, when you're tired, how are we ever going to trust a word you say as President? How are you going to be able to trust yourself with such an unusual condition?

"Accidentally" lying is not something one would normally blame on exhaustion. I would blame that on being a cronic liar.

[Lisette]

AND, she read it from her notes

And this was the 3rd or 4th time she TOLD this story

[GuyInNC]

why was it that Obama LIED twice during the debate Wed night? And, do you care?

[majseventh]

He did lie twice. The Obamaites don't get it though.

[stepintothelight]

Can you point out what you are referencing or do you fear the norm from HuffPost readers ... That being your getting POUNDED by the truth?

Obama was not complaining about the toughest of the debate but the inane content of the questions.

There were glaring Joe McCarthy type tactics used in the debate-- Guilty by association. Automatically Obama becomes a fellow traveler of Ayers. There is a subliminal race message lodge in the elitism line which he is an "uppity Negro" who does not know his place. The question then is: How do you teach an "uppity Negro" a lesson? How do you put him black in his place? The circumstances are are reminiscent of another "uppity Negro" Paul Robeson who was brought down and put in his place. How was Obama suppose to know how much somebody else loves America? We must remember that black people loved America when America didn"t love them.

[LittleSanityLeft]

Americans are seeing past this type of politics and that horrible debate immensely helped Obama believe it or not. First, he did receive the type of questions the GOP would throw his way. While the pundits say he didn't handle them well or that he was getting visually frustrated he was feeling exactly the same way the rest of America was feeling, asking 'when are we going to get away from these distractions and talk about what's important to the American people'.

The Democratic election has generated so much interest America has gotten wise and well versed in the politics of distraction and it's this 'distraction' narrative that has come to define Clinton, has come to define the MSM and it will define McCain as well if he's stupid enough to try his luck.
