A Warrior on a Mission in Rush Limbaugh's Home District
Commented Nov 11, 2009 at 08:34:23 in Politics
“One person cannot reform this congress or this system. Democrats are indistinguishable from Republicans. The country is ruled by corporations. The people have no say in their government. If they did, there would be no debate on a public option. Sixty percent of the American people want a public option, but we won't get it because Democrats are in bed with insurance companies just as much as their Republican adversaries.”

Gaffney Tells Reagan "Your Father Would Be Ashamed Of You" (VIDEO)

“Interesting that Gaffney and his ilk who are all about pressing the war in Afghanistan, never fought in one or ever wore a uniform. A bit disingenuous don't you think.”

“Agree. The State Department website lists all kinds of jobs over there. To all the wa r mongers I say, GO!”

“Gaffney never met a war he didn't like, a foreign regime he didn't want to topple, or a region he didn't want to destabilize. He dreams of American Empire, and he'll carry water for anyone powerful enough to make it happen.”

“LOL! This baloney from the guy who brought us Lee Atwater and Willie Horton! Olberman and Maddow are dignified and prophetic. They are just about the only voice of the people on networks loaded with right wing ideologues. Maybe the apple didn't fall as far from the tree as I thought.”

CNN Refuses To Run Health Care Ad Critical Of Insurance Companies
Commented Aug 05, 2009 at 23:20:47 in Media
“CNN and the other cable outlets are all corporate shills. Are you surprised? The free press is in the blogosphere. The new 4th estate is virtual and has been for sometime. I expect that eventually most people will come to realize that cable news and network news are not really the liberal media at all. The liberal media exist only on the web.”
monicaangela replied on Aug 05, 2009 at 23:28:42
“Astute observation, the cable news outlets are nothing more than tabloid video, anyone who can't see that the media is not libereral or owned by liberals, is someone who has bought into the conservative idea of spin and switcheroo in order to confuse the mentally challenged. There is no way Rupert Murdoch would own and allow any media service to function as a liberal outlet.”

“Are these the same western intelligence sources who got it wrong about Iraq? Well, I sure believe them now. When do we attack? Maybe the Ayatollah is on the CIA payroll and we're paying him to issue the order so we can attack. Most Americans will fall for this nonsense unfortunately.”

“DADT is a miserable failure. Being gay or not does not determine a man or woman's effectiveness in the armed forces. I served with a number of gay sailors and they all treated me and their shipmates with grace and dignity. Being gay in the military does not preclude good order and discipline.”

“It's really not Obama's fault. It's a systemic fault that's been going more and more haywire over the past thirty plus years. When the history of the United States is written a hundred or two hundred years from now the fact that it became corporately controlled will be noted as its downfall. Today's Republican and Democratic parties do not represent the American people. With the exception of Dennis Kucinich and Bernie Sanders we have no popular representation.
Remember it was these same slugs who voted for the Iraq War and now want to blame Bush and the Intelligence Community. They knew then that Saddam had no weapons but it was a boondoggle to make corporations billions of dollars. They know now what is the correct solution, but they are doing the bidding of their corporate masters. We have no liberals left and Obama can do nothing.”

“I agree with most of what you say. However, I feel President Obama has been a part of the problem instead of the solution. A real leader "for the people" would have actively stepped in to HELP people by taking a stand on issues. He TALKS about issues in public, then doesn't fight hard for it. President Obama didn't fight for better legislation in the Credit Card Reform bill or the Bankruptcy bill. Now, in his need to be bipartisan (which is beginning to feel like an excuse not to get true reform of anything), we will once again see corporations win at the expense of the people in this country. I think the final Energy bill will also have the fingerprints of the Coal and Gas Industries along with Goldman Sachs and others instead of representing "we the people".”

Frank Rich: Most Trusted Man In News Can't Be "Outsourced To Comedy Central And Jon Stewart"
Commented Jul 26, 2009 at 11:36:28 in Media
“John Stewart might not be Frank Rich's choice to replace Walter Cronkite, but until anyone in the MSM steps forward Stewart is ascendant. None of the current media darlings have an ounce of credibility nor do their organizations. They have become instead talking heads with talking points from the Republican-Democrat-Corporate cabal that runs the country.”

Major Civil Rights Group Demands CNN Remove Lou Dobbs From The Air
Commented Jul 24, 2009 at 23:06:39 in Media
“The answer to this is simple. Boycott CNN. Who really needs to listen to television or read newspapers to get news in this day and age. More news is available from the internet and generally it's more up to date and has less of a spin than traditional media outlets. i spend almost no time at all watching any of the media outlets. Why would I trust the folks who beat the drums for war that was a complete fabrication. Do yourself a favor and boycott the news. You'll be in better health too.”

Maria Belen Chapur: New Photos Of Sanford's Mistress
Commented Jul 16, 2009 at 10:21:39 in Politics
“How about leaving this woman out of it? Why demonize her or even him? Adultery has been going on since the beginning of time. The real issue here is hypocrisy and the on-going effort by mostly Republican politicians to divide/divert Americans from the real issues facing our country. The Sanford, Ensign, Spitzer, Clinton, Craig scandals only prove that we are all human. We need to accept that humanness and move on. Christ is reported to have said, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone." Who can make that claim?”

“I think what many people are "demonizing" him for is the way he did it, shirking his responsibilities as governor and not letting anybody know where he was. That and the fact that he lied about it to the public. And I don't have to accept his "humanness" when he feels he can attack other people for what he did - he cast the first stone, in other words.”

“So have lying, stealing, cheating, murder. Do we condone those? No, we demand personal ethics; having an affair is an abandonment of those ethics just as much as stealing from your employer. It's a part of one's character. Get a divorce if you want to play around.”

GOP Rep.: Public Health Care Option "Is Gonna Kill People"

“Public option will kill insurance companies, but not people. It will actually save taxpayers billions of dollars, but don't worry we'll never get a public option in the USA.

“The USA is not Judeo-Christian, that is a rewrite of history by the right wing. Where in the Talmud or the New Testament does it say that it's okay to enslave and murder Africans? Where does it say that it's okay to disenfranchise and murder native Americans? Where was Bill when his hero George W. Bush was starting an illegal war and killing innocents. When did Iraqi lives become worthless? He and Fox News in general are a sham and a shame.”
