“good riddens to him! connecticut needs a senator in washington who supports gay marriage and full civil rights for the glbt community. dowd and his cohorts in washington are woefully unpreparerd to do anything beyound enjoy the lifestyle we elected them to! and that goes for obama too! dump obama in 2012--draft a real liberal--hillary!”

“yes what the us must do is follow liberman's advice and premptivelly send lieberman to yemen before bombing it. that way obama can take care of two problems at once--lieberman and whatever the right wingers would have us believe is the reason we must attack, attack, attack!”

“landrieu looked every inch the "political prostitute" that one caller called her. done up in her flaming red dress, she looked like she thought she was bette davis in JEZEBEL wearing red to the olympus ball in New Orleans.

since landrieu and a handful of her colleagues blocked the full will of the democratic majority in the senate and played along with the repulicans to kill real healthcare reform, this flaming red "poltical prostitute" has been out front cheering herself on and shamelessly lying about the good effects of the bill she has forcced on the majority of the senate.

one example in her outrageous performance on cspan was to tell one caller that competion among insurance companies would be created by her bill, because they would now have to compete with other insurance comapnies in the way walmart competes with target and other stores to keep prices lower!

for all the world it seemed like the self-pleased, arrogant, deceitful landrieu had no idea that her efforts purposely left in tact the exemption from federal anti-trust laws, and that unlike walmart and other retailers, and almost all other kinds of businesses in the usa, insuracne companies are free to sit down with each other and legally collude to fix the price of what they sell.

and what they sell will continue to smell like the stench of the senator from new orleans.”

“how ironic that michael j foxx should have his annual event at disneyland, given the disgraceful mocking of mr. fox's illness by disney owned abc radio hate radio personality rush limbaugh
one hopes that one day disney will be singled out for being one arm of a media empire that while playing nice to children with cartoon characters and amusement parks, also includes hate radio shows that bring in the bucks!

isn't it time that this media conglamorate was made to answer for its use of our public airwaves to makes millions off of right wing hate?

the right will tell you its a free speech issue, but free speech includes the right to reject what you don't like and speak out against it, and a corporate use of free speech on the public airwaves to preach hate is a proper target for pulbic outrage and protest.

in case you didn't already know it, your mickey mouse is an aging right winger who pays out hundreds of millions to rush limbaugh and in return makes more millions off of his hate radio broadcast!”

“to the dults ourt here who would defend the obama action against the lesbian couple and point out that doma as the real culprit--one has to answer as loudly and vehemently as one can---and what has obama done to end doma or don't ask don't tell?! nothing!!!!!

he gives a speech to the glbt community and says i won't do it for you-- i won't don't it with you, you have to do it without my help!

and to you dults i say--look in the mirror and see not only the face of dults, but also the face of ingrained bias an bigory masekd as progressives, or proud to be the hate mongers you are!

dump obama, draft hillary 20012! and fire this congress in 2010, this congress donesn't owe the glbt community civil rights, doesn't owe all amercans real universal healthcare and doesnt owe main street real relief from the wall street thieves, while they reward these thieves!

and we don;t owe these bums, a job in washington and the lifestyle and perks, and penisons and healthcare they give themselves. throw the bums out!”

“how dare dean tell the truth, when all the cowardly democrats in the senate, and the cowardly president in the white house mishandled health care reform to such an extent that they let the greatest change election in a generation lead to defeat by obstuctionist repubicans, \ repube party supported self-styled brown shirt thugs with and without guns, and the shameless self-serving of liberman, and neslon and baucus, in support of insuacne companies wreck real health care reform

and to see the democratic senators step forawrd now, after liebermann procalimed whta the bill would and would not include, is pure farce, albeit an amercian tragedy

and where was obama in all of this, benched, never the leader he promised or needed to be!

i am changing my registration this week to independent and i have no plans on voting for any dmeocrats next year.

since 2006 they have told us we had to wait until they had control of all three bracches to bring about change--and now they have showed us what liars and cheats they are, they want our votes for only one reason, so they can go back to washington and enjoy the lifesltyle of being in congress, with its perks, ego trips, pension and health care packages, committee chair perks, and turn their back on the people who voted for them.

and as for 2012 its time now to start a dump obama movement and a draft hillary movement!”

“lets not get into a word war about which country's legal system is better. if the forensic evidence was contaminated or spoiled in this case, it does not serve italy well for bloggers here to tell us that italy's grand judicial system can't be corrupted by press or money or deals the way the american system is cited here as being. according to the press reprots il;ve read the defense was not allowed to present their own dna anyalysis? that sounds like a borken judicial sysztem to me, and one in which italy still suffers from centruries of medieval and renaissance style justice layered over with tinges of the facist years of mussolini. innocent or not, if the defense has no right to present its own dna epxerts, then how is justice served?

and if the court punishes a defendent with longer prison sentences for negative public opinion about a verdict, why does that instill contempt and arrogancne in bloogers here, for amereicans? how twisted, and how desperate in the face of what appear to be all the publiityy surrounding the flaws in the italian justice system”

“shame on cbs

they practice their bigotry in all progamming decisiona.

like them, those of you here who defend their bigotry, exhibit the same beigoted behavior, behavior that fuels gay hate crimes--such as matthew shepard's torture and murder--and government policies like doma and don't ask, don'lt tell

why are female to female kisses allowed among stars? that's a no brainer, ,

two men kssing each other opens the doors to homoerotic feelings that so- called straight men have either acted upon or are scared of, , so blur it on the video, anf offer viewrs don;t show, don;t watch!

women kissing each other, on the other hand, is non threatenign, and pushes erotic buttons that make lesbain subjects thrive in the straght porn market!

and for those at cbs who are female, there are corollaries.

their gender prvents them from being homophobes, but they can hate men who leave them out of the sexual equation and whose coorporate power trip must be, to pleas the prejudices of the power elite at the workplace.”

“like ms. kennedy, needed a vengeful president clinton, to derail her appointment to replace hillary clinton as senator---given that besides being the kennedy she is, she was unable to show she had any polticial or social history, or the temperment--remember the badly arrogant showing she made with reporters from the nyt at an upper east side restaurant---which qualified her to be appointed senator.

one prolbem with maureen dowd is that she llikes to subsitute sharp digs and gossip for serious commentary and this jibe at bil clinton--who apparently still gets to her--is she attracted to him?--who knows?__is typical of the lapses into people magazine rag that she lapses into

let''s all remember that ms, dowd was the one who lectured us all after the gore/cheney vp debate, that cheney was he only "adult" in the race and that while rome was burning ms, dowd informed us all on why gore needed to alpha up gonads, and didn't know who he was because he altered his tie and suit for his presidential campaign, well thank yoiu maureen dowd for being such a clever commmentator in the past, we got the adult candidate, even though this daddy turned out to be the kind of daddy to the nation who abused it and the candidate who was all alpha and no brains, george bush!

i haven;t read, or given maureen dowd any serious attention since 2000 when she showed what a clown she really is.”

“why is this even on huffington post? who gives a good darn what the heck this thinks about anything!
he's an elitist self-promoting, unimportant failed neo-con. he no longer seems able to bounce around from one sunday entertainnews show to another on the weekends, and it is rather silly, but downright annyouing to see huffington post pay him any attention here. he should go quietly into this good night, like the neo-con elders who helped give birth to him, and huffington and nyt might be asked in these difficult times for online and printed media, why they are loading themselves down with this useless dead weight!”

“this threat by the catholic church , is just the latest example of how far it has strayed .


it would rather defeat healtcare reform, than let civil lawmakers achieve it.


how many centuries has it been since the catholic church, acted like, the church of christ, bulit on the rock--petros!

on abortion, gay rights,, even divorce and contraception through the consistent voice of its popes,, the church preeches that its voice cannot bend to the evils intrinisic in the modern world.


but the same chuch that speaks and acts so stridenly against civil rights, which derive from civil liberty graned by god's grace to humans of free will with inallienable civil liberties, has sorted history of being on the worng side of social order for most of its history.

two grave examples are its support of colonialism and its history of antisemtic teachings. it blessed the events that caused the destruciton of millions of native new world lives, and it lead the spanish inquisiiton and made a concordat with the third reich of the holocaust. both lead to the destruciton of millions of jewish lives and thousands of jewish communities. and to this day adolf hitler remains an non=excommunicated roman catholic!

it is not anticatholic to give voice to the real teachings of christ and remind us that he denoucned a priestly body that lived in wealth and power, and taught us all that it is an eror to serve ceaser, for by doing so you cannot serve god!”

“am i missing something? who is this person? is she famous, a celebrity i don't know about? if so, then good for me, for being so out of it--that i still can't track the majority of names that float around for five minutes at a time in popular culture, even on the section reserved here for such people magazine style reportage.

but if not, then why does an unknown person's crime start with lead headlines beginning with her name as if we were reading that madonna, bette davis, joan crawford, queen elizabeth ll, elizabeth taylor, or any other person geneally knon to the publilc was the subject of this story!

is the need for celeb headlines so strained by the escalating media outlets, that we need to treat crime stories by unkowns with headlines as though they too were celebs.

and all this aside, anyone who mistreats an animal, should do serious prison time, and if i believed in the death penalty, which i don't--i would support it for torturing or murdering animals!

and, why it is legal for pet owners to have vets kill their pet if it is not working out, pisses in the wrong place, barks too much, scratches too much, etc.

shouldn't all the pet owners who do this, or abandon or dump pets when they have decided they don;t want them any longer, also be criminallized. and shouldn;t it be against the law for vets, to have to kill healthy animals.”

“and don't just stop there--you don't really think that just because the mormon church officialy condems persons who are gay or lesbian, that the mormons are any different than the rest of the human race, or for that matter, the rest of the self-righteous relgious right who preach ani-gay hate, but luv having sex with other men and othe women. so to ammend your scripts above,

and between a man and a woman
and between a man and a woman and a woman
and beteween a man and a woman and many woman
and between a man and a woman and whatever it takes--annonymous male sex encounters, male prostitutes, boyfreinds--on the side!

give me that old time religion!”

“to ms. barnes we say simply, tell your boss, that in lieu of flowers and sympathy, send leglisation and executive orders, to end don't ask, don't tell and doma.”

“i find seeing the united states secretary of state dressed up for a halloween as a praciticing muslim, a disturbing and unsatisfactory image and one that fails to mirror the constitution of our own united states which separates religion and state.

while it can be argued that such attire, is intended to signal respect for islamic culure, it makes our secretary of state gender identified, in a country that is sexist to the core, as defined by relgious and civil law--often 1 and the same---and fails to uphold ouir own hard won evolving culture, that women should have gender equality in all aspects of public and private life.

to see mrs, clinton defined first as a woman, and only secondly as the secretary of state of the united states, by her submission to islamic dress codes for women, is to suggest that she will not be dealt with, and this country will not be represented as well as by male secretary of state in its deallings with islamic nations.

had secretary of state clinton met with islamic clerics in pakistan, and donned a veil, as she might have to meet the pope, that would signal only a proper respect for the religious figures

to address students publicly and need to adopt attire not in keeping with the normal attire of her high office, makes our own cutlural values look varaiable and ms. clinton look as though she dressed up for a halloween party!”

“its a study in vulgarity. in the depression eleanor roosevelt could't be persuaded to replace the tattered and worn draperies in the white house, because of the economic hardship of oridnary americans. now we have president obama, in another picking the chic bankruptcy annie, who between dealing her near $50 million copyright and real estate deals, has time enough to bring down a presidency to her vulgar level.

all smiles for the obamas here. thank god the Queen knew better and did show annoyance at having the offical regalia of the order of the garter, and one of her offical crowns, used as nothing more than props for the egoistic and obviously, rather uninformed, and provincial miss annie!”

“if it weren't so sad, it would be a farce. is there anyone, except the brainwashed, unwashed, right wing neo-cons and so-called "christiens"--as though we all live in the 2nc century roman empire, with the barbarians at the gates and pagans surrounding them--who might think that fox news is nothing but a murdoch poltical machine designed from the get go, to push his politcal views wrapped up in news reporting. its not even debatable--does anyone remmeber how former cnn and msnbc comentators and so-called reporters, used to make fun of how slezzy fox was, before they themsleves ended up there as the cable game of last resort for them to stay on the air. do the names”

“such conveinient moralists, and yet no trace of the ehticist in any of your hate polanski comments.
until a trial is conducted under usa law and a defendent has been convicted of the crimem he is innocment, until proven guilty!

and if a defendent agrees to plea bargaining and admit guilt , he has not been found guilty by a jury of his peers .in the polanski case, as documented, the district attorny warned polanksi's lawyer they the judge was going to sentence him ot prsion time, despite the plea bargain deal.
that doublecross has left a detrimental guilty plea from polanksi, the harm of which is demonstrated by your pre-conceived notions of his guilt,

whenever i hear from moralists about how a crime is so hideious as to override the consideration of law, i am reminded that moralists are but one step from the mob, and the mob is always but one step away from all our fates,o

only, under the equal and due process application of law---even and especially when dealing with defendents rights and the moralissts who would pre-judge them is each of our rights protected, , witout regard to the outcome of a speficif defendents fate!”

“what dumb broad!”

“willl the republican party now its own night of the long knives soon to stop the tea partier brownshirts that they created to defeat real economoic reform and stimulus and real healhcare reform this summer. like hitler's sa there comes a time when the monster you unleash on the streets to squelch the democracy you despise, becomes as unsafe to its party own party leaders, as it was to the democracy it was set upon to disrupt!.”

“and roas parks, martin luther king, were all part of the back fringe that needed to take off their pajamas and didn;t understand how difficult and complicated it was for roosevelt, truman, eisnehower, kennedy and johnson to govern a deeply divided country. and those presidents knew that they knew they had 90 percent of the voters, ---that is white voters--- in their pockets, especially in the segregated jim crow south, but as well in the deeply racist north

we should find out who the advisor was, and demand, as the right has already done successfully with other white house advisors. and demand that person being fired immediately and sent to work in a third world pajamas factory in china!

lets see if just this once, the obama amdinistration will cave to the demands of the citizens who voited for it, as it caves to its policial foes on the far right!

talk about fringes, the obama white house has totally caved to a right wing fringe called tea partiers who axcted like brownshirts at rigged town hall meetings this summer and let the likes of its fringe democrat base control the legislative agenda to defeat true healh care reform

dream on obama and the whtie house advisors, as you find out the consequences of listening to the right, which iwll never vote for you or deomcrats in 2010 and 2012, while your "fringe" base stays home and has pajjama parties instead of voting for you!”

“geor\ge stephanapoulos turned in a dismal inept pefromance and the headling here is really off the mark. hannity used his usual techniques here, he wasn't interested in debating the facts, he was interested in seeing how many times he could say nambla or north american man boy love association his small, but so-called national audience, in addtion to how many times he could say the queering of american education. his real goal was to use the interview with george to label his target as a member of the gay commuinity, which hannity, fox, murdoch and the right wing radicals, be they the hate cable, or hate radio hosts, or the brown shirt tea partiers from last summer's bund town hall meetings, define as the sodmoites of the so-called gay life style. while george sat there and as sure as he might have taken pie in his face, hannity used him to throw his hate agenda in his face and to his right wing radicaxl audience. score one for hannity, and a big nothiing for stephanopoulos who was used as a hannity prop!”

“its what glbt community says to obama that counts!

1. mo more tea parties thank you very much, we need our civil rights, not tea parites!

2. you have no real record supporting glbt civil rights, and you have gotten away with failing to support our civil rights with real actions.

3. we won't vote for you again unless you end don't ask, don't tell put the full muscle of the presidency to end DOMA--the nuremberg nazi styled ban on gay and lesbian citizens from marrying.

3, we want more than platitudes in your speeh this weekend, or you should expect to be booed.

4. those in your audience with conscience and enough self-repsect should walk out on your speech if you to pander to us again.

5. you have said, your run for the presidency was a martin luther king like visioion of seizing the historical moment, we say to you , it is our moment, iin the new 21st century, in solidarity with our liberated and fully legalized brothers and sisters in the uk, spain, denmark, germany, sweeden, canada, south africa, et al, to say no more nuremberg laws for us in the usa and no more support for you or the the democratic party if you don't deliver our full equality under the law.

6.from now on our message to you and the democratic partiy is, that when it comes to our votes, we will not give away for free, what should be cod!”

“the word is, that cook has resigmed at disney to join former chair michael eisner--both men were seen late friday night getting on the la grehound bus bound for town hall meetings all across the country, where they will scream down any and all as they support their birther, tea pary and brown shirt movment, that they helped launch with their pet boys, their cheif money makers, the radio act rush and sean. dfisney own abc, abc owns rush and sean and abc is the face of hate radio in this country, think of that the next time you buy your tickets for disneyland and disneyworld! remember you are entering the worlds of sean and rush and that mickey mouse and sweetheart minnie, are tea pariers, birthers and racist hate mongers!”

“and when the tea partiers burn the reichstag, i mean capitol, will they blame on obama and the black,s and the jews, and the immigrant workers, and the latinos and the catholics? of course they are all in costume, its to hide their brown shirts! tell disney and fox you wont't stand for their support on abc and fox for the brown shirt racist thugs that ruish and sean are using to undo the election. time to start parading with our own placards of rush and sean and wilson and mickey mouse and murdoch in their brown shirts!”
