Holocaust Deniers, Global Warming Deniers, Chris Wallace: Any Difference?
Commented Dec 23, 2009 at 01:44:17 in Media
“Anyone who has known a woman like Sarah Palin knows what a 24 carat phony she is. When the truth about her emerges, you will act like you never supported her. BTW, how are you feeling about Mike Huckabee these days?”
The Republicans' Death Obsession
Commented Dec 22, 2009 at 22:45:36 in Politics
“Terrific column, Frank. But where are the Democrats talking this directly? No where!
At the beginning of the year, the majority of the nation was for the health care bill. Then Palin, Coburn, ad nauseum starting spreading lies about it, and you could see the momentum beginning to change.
The Dems never came out and called them liars, death obsessed, reminded people in simple, direct terms that these were the same people who said hands off Wall Street, wanted to privatize Social Security, and almost brought this nation down. Last year Wall Street, this year the insurance companies! This simple slogan would have reminded Americans that Repubs are now almost always on the side of big business and against the common good.
But the Dems were silent. Where was Joe Biden, etc putting these bullying cowards on the defensive?
The reason I can't call myself a liberal is that too many believe in the "if I'm fair with "them" (Repubs, Iran, etc), they'll be fair with us" mantra. Uh, no they won't. Americans respect strength and truth--where is Jim Webb when we need him?”

Wall Street Bank Lobby Faces 'Live Ammo' As Lawmakers Ponder Breaking Up Big Banks
Commented Nov 12, 2009 at 11:59:25 in Business
“I agree. Here in New York, "too big to fail" Mayor Bloomberg just bought himself a third term, and the "too big to fail" Yankees bought themselves a World Series. They have corrupted politics and sports, respectively, but there is a major difference between them and the "too big to fail" banks--the former two take their own losses for their risks.
The banks don't. They risk our mortgage money, and when we bail them out from potential bankruptcy, what do they do? Jack up our credit card rates to obscene levels and put us into it!
Not only should the banks be broken up, but all Congresspeople who voted for credit card reform, then gave the banks time to obscenely jack up rates, should be voted out of office.”

Christian Broadcasting Network Warns Against 'Demonic' Halloween Candy

MsD Robinson replied on Oct 29, 2009 at 15:40:56
“Do you know The Celebration of Halloween began several hundred years ago when the Druid priests would visit a home or a farm and demand a virgin or a baby for a human sacrifice. If the family cooperated, the the Druids would hang a jock-o-lantern on their door with a candle in it made from human fat. The reason they used human fat was so the demon spirits would leave that household alone. Or, in other words, it was as an indication to the demon world that this family had cooperated with them. However, if they didn't give a virgin or a little baby for a sacrifice, then the Druids would take blood and put a hex on the door. And that was the original trick or treat!”

Catholic League Angered By Larry David Peeing On Jesus
Commented Oct 28, 2009 at 15:48:04 in Entertainment
“As a fan of the show, I found this episode not funny or realistic, and can see how someone can be offended.
That being said, "The Catholic League" IS Bill Donahue, and always has been. He's a right-wing phony who I never recall expressing anger over the Catholic Church covering up sexual assaults by priests against young boys. Hmm...why the selective outrage?”

“The problem here is that it (yet again) seems hypocritical for religious types to drive public policy because of what is 'written' in the particular book they worship, especially when that policy goes against a practice that they personally have no taste for, but then they get to bend those same 'hard-written' rules when it suits their fancy and they see no harm in it.
Mormon Church doesn't like gay marriage, even though allowing gays to marry would impact essentially no Mormons? "We have to - the book says so!"
