“Good point. Some people are choosing to ignore what this Man is up against!”

“Earl

I disagree on so many levels. I am not gay and I could care less how she answered a question but I still feel she is WRONG for lying on her contract. The photo's to me are not racy and only a little worse than the bikini's they have the contestants wear. However, we have had other beauty Queens stripped of their crowns for the same thing. Bottom line I disagree that we are ALL on a "Witch Hunt".

Furthermor­e.....I do not agree that Beauty Contest are "stepping stones" to help a women's career. It is a sexist and antiquated practice. Your examples of Halle, Michele, and Sharon are weak......­.oh so let me go put my daughter in a beauty contest, that is a sure way for her to be successful­....GIVE ME a BREAK!

One more thing, now that I realize that these contestants are "fake" or surgically enhanced pisses me off even more. With so many image issues young girls have to deal with it would be better if these contest did not allow women who have been surgically altered. That’s cheating at least have them compete on their “Natural Beauty”.”

“I don't blame illegal immigrants for "depressing wages" here in America...­..it is the fault of the businesses trying to get cheap labor. They are NOT suppose to hire illegal immigrants. I very much want immigration reform....­..but because it is so out of hand, partly because Bush ignored the problem for 8 years, we have to come up with a FAIR solution.

"Securing" our boarders is an important part of the solution and so is enforcing our current immigration laws.”

“OMG this article is great. Can someone please make sure Bill gets a copy? Mr. Slansky you have hit the nail right on the head.”

“ENOUGH! Both of you. Hurricane Katrina was DISATEROUS and there is ENOUGH blame to go around. From the people who chose to stay, to the Mayor and Governor who did not provide a means for EVERYONE to evacuate, to FEMA who was totally UNPREPARED to do their job afterwards.

I was please to see this time around (hurricane Gustav)...­..everythi­ng worked, as it should. People evacuated calmly and orderly, Gov't officials did their part and I'm sure FEMA was prepared. It was an AWFUL learning lesson for America, but something positive did come out of Katrina, and that is EVERYONE will make sure it doesn't happen again!

Now it is the Republicans fault that parts of Louisiana has NOT been re-built. I understand we sent money to Georgia but we can't take care of our own. That is ASHAME.”

“As an African-American and more importantly as a human being.....­..I don't get these people. The definition alone of the term "conservative" is scary. If being a liberal (look that up as well) is wrong.....­then I don't want to be right.”

“Bush and Chaney led us into a misguided war where many of our soliders died for no good reason. We have the highest deficit of all time, with no hope in sight. We are disrespected around the World. Bush/Chaney are riding off into the sunset and leaving all this mess.....a­nd we are suppose to trust McCain to fix it......wh­en he feels they did nothing wrong. How can you look at yourself in the mirror and say Obama shows poor judgement. They had 8 years to put us on the right track and they didn't. Everything that Obama has said to do.....the Bush administration is doing. I'll take his inexperience any day!”

“You sound like my husband. Stop running scare and believe in Obama's decision. If he would of picked Hillary it would of openned up another can of worms.....­and you know it. Believe in Obama, stick with it and know that he is the best choice for America. IMO picking Hillary would of been a sure way to lose this election.”

“Yes I've noticed that as well.”

“This is not my reality but I have to respect theirs. John McCain sees ALL of our differences but he isn't trying to unite us.”

“It is really sad that the Clinton's are not more involved in Obama's campaign. I do remember that Gore and Kerry distance themselves from Bill. But as I recall, I thought it was because of the Monica scandel. However, I think we have moved on and Bill would be a great asset. Something is really strange with the Clinton's and the Democratic party. I don't think many like them (hence the flood of Superdelegates to Obama). Are they difficult to work with? Maybe they don't have good personalities. It is just weird.”

“I have to disagree. Obama said he is a UNITER everyone else THOUGHT he was far left. He knows that he can't be too liberal in his decisions. He has to try to make EVERYONE happy. He doesn't belong to the Black community, he doesn't belong to the folks at move-on.orgg", he doesn't belong to the Liberals or Conservati­ves.....an­d I think that this has ALWAYS been his message. What we are seeing is true leadership­....even if we don't agree with everything decision he makes.

As President of the United States he can't be reckless in bringing our troops home. If he was still saying he could do it in 16 months would be pandering. In light of what we know, I don't think saying a "Responsible, Gradual, withdrawal from Iraq" is a BAD thing. It is much more than what McCain has planned.”

“ANDREA MITCHELL. She reminds me of Tim so much. I love Rachael but she is not a good fit for that show. She makes TOO much sense and will have a hard time engaging guest that she disagrees with and keep a straight face. I really like Andrea, she is knowledgable and to me very un-bias.”

“Mr. Schaeffer you make a lot of sense and I appreciate your honesty.”

“Go a head Hillary supporters and vote for a Republican. This is what you will get. It is disgusting how McCain uses his Barbie Doll wife as a "Prop" in his campaign. She is always right behind him and Never says a word. Go on "women rights supporters" and cut your nose off to spite your face come Nov., you will be sorry.”

“Yep, you are right about that.”

“I take it you don't like Obama? So why does it matter why we do? He can be criticized­....but this was a joke about assasinating him. Big difference from criticizing.”

“apples and oranges.”

“I love this lady, I really do. You (along with the help of people like you) are going to change how news is reported. Keep doing what you do Arianna.”

“Offensive words right out of HIS mouth, and they want to hang Obama over what his pastor said??? This is so sickening.”

“I feel you on this one. It is so scary and sad that we have people like this in positions of power. One thing this primary process has done is "expose" the hate/fear/disdain that people in power have for people of color. It also exposes the ones who are accepting of people who are different. The ones who have common sense. Like Arianna, Micheal Moore and many other Whites out there. But getting back to the article, I want people to really think about the implications that hateful people like this has on our society. I am not blaming them for the problems in the Black communities but they damn sure are not helping.”
