“A child rapist is a child rapist is a child rapist is a child rapist. No spin can change that.”

“I won't hold my breath waiting for FOX news to run this story...”

“I think that this was rehearsed. They are on the same side of the fence, but Bill O wants to give the impression that he is open minded so he "attacked" Ingraham. Faux conflict!”

“What Ingraham said was beyond the pale; just thoroughly disgusting. It is too bad no one who watches FOX will see Stewart give Ingraham her just dues.”

“She's a good debater. She winks, evades, and answers questions that aren't asked. Don't you know, God bless ya.”

“The mother's occupation is not illegal, and I don't think anyone is questioning her love for her daughter. But her choice of occupation puts her in contact with some questionable characters. I know this dilemma first hand. My niece's mother ( no longer with my brother) poses nude or nearly nude for internet sites. Men she does not know began to try to find her. (She was not smart enough to use a fake name.) She had to hire a bodyguard. This was not a good environment for my 11 year old niece, who is entering the years of trying to find out what kind of woman she wants to be, with all of the body-conscious problems a typical adolescent encounters. My brother is in mediation about this issue, and my niece wants to be with my brother more because as she puts it "my mom is kinda crazy right now." So I can understand why the dad is objecting to his ex's choices. While porn is legal, is it really a good choice for the mother of a daughter?”

“I agree that he did not have to die from obesity. Could you park a loved one in a recliner and watch him die over 8 months? There was a complete breakdown among the social ties of family and friends here. Being unemployed, he may have well qualified for medicaid. This story saddens me on so many levels. He may have given up on himself, but it sounds like no one around him took the initiative to help him.”

“Some of the comments are snide and childish. I am not judging this man for his health problems; I do, however, have a problem with his family allowing him to stay in a recliner for 8 months. They could have called the paramedics under the pretense of chest pains; anything to get him out of the recliner and into some kind of care. My brother-in-law has had substance abuse problems for years; he has burned many bridges, but when he became deathly sick last winter with pnemonia, we got him to the hospital. The social worker on the staff got him signed up for medicaid, got his disability moving - in short, it ended up being the best thing that happened to him. We could have let him die on the couch, but we did not.”

“Would anyone you know in your family or circle of friends allow a person to stay in a recliner for 8 months? Since he was unemployed, did the family look into medicaid? The family called paramedics twice, once when he hurt his knee and at the very end. Did anyone not think to call the paramedics in between? Say he is having chest pains, say anything, but do not allow the person you love sit in a chair and die over 8 months. The lack of health care was secondary to the lack of common sense - and yes - common decency that this man's family showed him. There are a million things wrong with our health care system, but we do have to take some initiative for ourselves and the people we love.”

“The title of this article is disingenuous. This man did not die from lack of health insurance; he died from morbid obesity and a lack of common sense care from those around him. Leaving him in a chair for eight months? If this was done to an elderly person, it would be called elder abuse . There are enough health insurance horror stories out there without stretching this one into one of those tales. I am sorry that he passed away, and I am sorry that his loved ones stood by and allowed it to happen.”

“What's your answer GOP? Anyone, anyone?”

“I honestly don't know which is worse: the "let's make a vaccination for everything" mindset or the "let's fear every vaccination developed" mindset. The fact is the vaccinations most of us get as children has come very close to erradicating polio, mumps, measles, etc. We are 50+ years from when these diseases were rampant and deadly, especially for poor neighborhoods. So I tend to be thankful for vaccines in general, although I do understand the concern for too much of a good thing. Incidentally, I had a flu two weeks ago. I stayed home, rested, drank fluids and ate chicken noodle soup. I felt better in about 5-7 days. Go figure.”

“Let's not forget that a year ago next week, a temporary worker at a Walmart store lost his life when he was run over by a stampede of Walmart shoppers trying to get the best deal on Black Friday. I will not step foot in a Walmart because of how they treat both associates and customers alike.”

“I have watched her on Court TV and have seen her as a guest on CNN. She also was a "ask the expert" lifeline on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. She is bright and very personable on TV. I hope she gets to join George Stephanapolous's round table, which is always in need of another female viewpoint.”

“Colbert and Stewart are the saving grace of TV.”

“The only way the Catholic Church is surviving in the United States is by importing priests from third world countries, and by the influx of the hispanic population that is heavily Catholic. Without those two factors, many parishes across the country would be forced to close.”

“He was honest about raping, beating and killing a 10 year old? Sorry, no points for honesty in this case.”

“The only endorsement any Republican cares about is the head of the chamber of commerce. Reminds me of a Bob Dylan song..”

“Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...”

“How many millions upon millions will he get when he finally walks out the door? All courtesy of his "contract", yet when the average working man and woman tries to get a reasonable contract with their employer, they are called socialists.”

“Obama has been on the job 8 months, and you are ready to write him off as a failure? Rome wasn't built in a day. It takes awhile to undo 8 years of Bush & Co.”

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself, right?”

“I don't need prostate exams, but I would not want them eliminated from an health coverage plan because my dad, husband, brother, nephews, uncles and friends need them! I'm sure the fine senator from Arizona wants ED covered, he is at the viagra stage of life!”

“What? The GOP is not standing by their man? I guess making his staff use the back of post-its while he flies first-class all over the world is not their idea of thrifty government.”

“This is what divorced men have been thinking about women for years when they send a check to them every month. It works both ways; the spouse that earned the bulk of the assets during a marriage is not entitled to keep everything. If Heche were concerned about assets, she should have signed a pre-nup.”
