“THANK you!!!

**fanned** and **faved**”

“I was thinking the same thing...”

“Wow, what a novel plan. "Project 73" and clusterFox will be the truth tellers.

....and let me tell you how ominous "project 73" sound....o­minous and douch3y”

“Sadly, there are Rethug PR consultants who offer spamming as part of their services. Most of the time, trolls (plural) are really one dude getting paid to post the same crap on every "liber@l" site. You can tell when the posts get repetitive and the users are new (registered to post that day)”

“She also asked for people to stop making things up for the sake of our troops.... and a minute later she twattered about death panels.

She wouldn't agree to this if she were pocketing the $$ and the audience was a communist nation. Oh, wait...”

“I was thinking the same thing about the firefighters and I am so bothered by Terry Moran

*fanned*”

“"Ocular Injury"! It's so true!!!”

“No, people with a working brain can't stand when facts are ignored”

“"Putting a lab coat on a preacher does not make him a scientist, and putting Beck on the cover of TIME does not make it journalism­."

*fanned* and *faved*”

“you are absolutely right! and what kills me is these same a$$holes that call people "unamerican" are the one's who are antiamerican. What it says on the statue of liberty and what their beloved ronnie spoke of (beacon of light) -- it's embarrassing”

“Thank you for this post.

I want to add, that those very people who call us "un-American" and scream they "want their country back" are so incredibly anti-America -- this country was founded on the principle that America is a place of hope....th­e Statue of Liberty, their beloved Ronnie and the beacon of light speech. It's the willfull ignorance in this country that embarrasses me”

“What a shocker! a corporation with an agenda "accidentally" allowed this potentially career ending email get in the hands of Sirota and you take it at face value?? Really?

Who's claiming to be better than the "ditto heads"? At least wait for a little corroboration before crucifying her...”

“"any attempt to conduct a sane conversation with a Republican would be as much a time waster as trying to get John Boehner to apply sun screen" -- best line of the week”

“Thank you for this piece on Brooks - he has been really irritating me lately to the point where I was wondering if he's trying to fill the void Kristol left. And his writing is appalling .”

“is that true?”

“I don't think you sounded patronizing; I absolutely agree that the lunatic fringe exists on both ends of the spectrum and both are damaging to their respective parties.

Thanks for the link. It's going to be interesting to watch this play out.”

“MSNBC is to the left of center and they have no problem admitting it.

But I'm not sure what tqmek was trying to say....”

“What's driving me up the wall is that the majority of this fringe element has absolutely no clue what they're talking about. Literally they are repeating talking points that have been created and perfected by people just like you: GOP strategists. And I know part of it is identifying a base and which strategies have the longest lasting impression and how beneficial they will be to your product. Right now a very ignorant group has been identified and are susceptible to the talking points because they're so willfully ignorant.

So at some point, somewhere, somehow you-personally-know that there is a segment of the conservative Republican party who is educated and has empathy for the human condition. You address this post directly to them so they are out there. You have given me hope. Thank you for that.

I also wanted to commend you on the candid, thoughtful, and hysterical way you put it all. My favorites: "Unfortunately following Tom Delay, Dick Cheney, Duke Cunningham, Mark Sanford, Bob Ney, Mark Foley, and Larry Craig, our bench is a little thin on the morals and ethics front." and "Note to White House: if you send Jim Greer a copy of the speech, use crayons and lots of simple pictures." Fantastic!

(for the record - I have liberal political views, worked on and voted for Democratic candidates. I also live in FL so I meant it when I said I really appreciate the Greer observation)”

“I was simply pointing out that when you get defensive and question people's credibility, you should be prepared to have your own credibility questioned. I am very familiar with that site, but if you want to be taken seriously don't be so hostile. Chill out”

“the fact that many voted for him means that many of those voters are also very liberal.”

“i'm here. I feel your pain”

“because a blog counts as being more credible?”

“But, gee. That might ruin those poor corporate insurers and we wouldn't want to see the little guy get the shizz end of deal......­.

*faved*”

“my point went right over your head.”

“I was basing it off the poor use of footnote "[4] !" Very palin-esque”
