Oh - and the HuffPost community is made up of primarily intelligent people. If you're a Palin fan, you're in the wrong place.”

“One serious problem Democrats in Congress have is that they don't react the way rightwingers do, and did, thruout the Bush years... Whenever ANYONE, no matter how remote, made what was deemed an inappropriate remark about Bush, the wingers were out there pouncing on and challenging Democrats to DENOUNCE the speaker of said remark. This doesn't happen with the Dems... they couldn't even be bothered to point to the vitriol spewed by the hate mongers who got a doctor who happened to perform late term abortions assassinated. Why expect them to react to anything of note?”

“True- and it is appalling that the leadership on the right will not denounce these things. It's one thing not to sink to the level of the opposition and another thing to let them get away with this kind of dangerous demagoguery.”

Hello fellow VTer!
Well, probably being talked about by the cast creates a good reason, don't you think? Otherwise, agreed!”

“Yeah - i am feeling more and more like an outsider - an alien!?! I just don't get how anyone can condone the idiocy of fox news. And I am extremely grateful that MSNBC exposes their hypocrisy and lies. You know - BALANCE! I am scared of some of these conservatives - they would stop at absolutely NOTHING to destroy Obama (because he is a good person and smart Pres.) - they are waiting (and it wouldn't be a surprise if they are plotting) for USA to be attacked by "terrorist"”

“Couldn't help myself - I wrote the Office of the President at ASU:

http://president.asu.edu/contact

Had to tell him what a fool he was making of his school.”

CatladyLinda replied on Apr 10, 2009 at 11:05:04

“Thank you for the link. I sent them a message as well. I hope they are bombarded with protests. Their decision to deny him an honorary degree is ludicrous and insulting to the Office of the Presidency, the American people and President Obama himself. If they did not feel he was worthy of their honorary degree, they should not have invited him to speak at their commencement.”

Lambpie replied on Apr 10, 2009 at 11:04:02

“Thanks for the address. I wrote as well. I can't believe this one - especially after reading the list. I told the ASU President that considering he's managed to be the first black man elected president it stands to reason they'll be accused of racism over this one as well. Good grief, that alone makes it history making.”

“Good description - adding to that, Douglas also gets a lot of out-of-state campaign money, including from the private prison industry - CCA - as well, he spends most days attending events and gladhanding everyone he meets.

I think this vote won't be forgotten next time around, and as you noted, we'll need ONE good candidate to rally around.”

The Long Dark Teatime Of Tapper's Twitter

Commented Mar 21, 2009 at 06:59:34 in Politics

“Tapper blocking those who dare to challenge him? That's NOTHING NEW. He was/is notorious for deleting comments, often substantive, on his ABC Notes blog when they dared to challenge his assertions, which were/are often promoted as fact, and were/are mostly innuendo and/or baseless and pointless. I haven't read his blog for some time now. He's a phony and a hypocrit who's way out of his league.

Tapper's ego way outshines his talent. Astounding that ABC actually promoted him.”

Chas Freeman Slams "Israel Lobby"

Commented Mar 11, 2009 at 11:36:18 in Politics

“Read as much as you can about this folks - and remember to separate the facts from the propaganda being spewed in a tidal wave by the AIPAC lobby and the misleading comments of a few of our D/R Jewish Senators, as well as mainstream media spin on the subject.

The effort to oust this man who dared to speak truth to power about Israeli aggression against innocent Palestinians (via the settlers in the West Bank for example - see 60 Minutes from a few weeks ago) began with a far-rightwing Israeli hawk by the name of Steve Rosen, a former AIPAC lobbyist now on trial for leaking classified intel to Israel.

I'm sorey dissappointed that Obama didn't stand up to this public slaying - but what could we expect considering the politics (and religion) of his closest advisors?”

MarinaNY replied on Mar 11, 2009 at 18:26:45

“I never heard about US senators being separated on Jewish - not Jewish. Reading these comments I am starting to realize the level of rabid antisemitism in this country.”

“Are you talking about Chuck Schumer? Chuck's taking credit for this. But Chuck was defending Israel's action in Gaza by saying that the Israelis called people on their cellphones to tell them they were going to blow their houses up. A shiny example of the IDF's humanity and the Israeli lobby's twisted sense of justice.”
