There's a debate about whether Rove is a pundit or propagandist? Good grief! After what he did to your country, the debate should be whether he's a traitor or a traitor. Pundits ARE propagandists. Or at least cheerleaders and sycophants. It's when they start fabricating facts and twisting the truth that they become propagandists. Like Fox News pundits, right-wing extremist talk radio hosts and the MSM. posted 05/13/2008 at 15:15:32

My parents were athiests. They named me Timothy. It's a book in the bible. I doesn't make me a Christian, just like my other athiest friends Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. What a facile argument! My granparents were Anglican though. Can I still vote?

I heard Obama in an interview say that in Indonesia he actually went to a Catholic school. But we know that McCain and Hagee hate Catholics just as much as they hate Muslims. posted 05/12/2008 at 20:09:28

Wow! The Republicans believe that you deserve 4 more years of failed policies, and a handful of anti-depressants! I knew that the Republicans had nothing but contempt for the average American, but this has to be the biggest insult to your intelligence that I've ever seen. Why don't they just flip you the bird! It amounts to the same thing! If the Republicans honestly think they can sway voters with a message of change, they must think you're all really, really stupid. Not only do they think that you're all idiots, they're banking on it. Maybe John McCain should just get "Pfizer" tattooed across his forehead! Seriously, the man wants to be the leader of the free world, and he's nothing more than a bad salesman, shilling for the pharmaceutical lobby. What a maverick! posted 05/12/2008 at 19:54:14

Wow! What a stretch!!! To suppose that McCain can win in 2008 on a message of change, is to suppose that the American public is so stupid that they can't even tie their own shoes! I mean really!!! While it's true that Republicans have nothing but contempt for the average American, and see them as one big monolith of stupid sheep, selling them another more-of-the-same Republican, after the debacle of the past 7 years is really delusional. The Republican sycophants and lap dogs can try and spin a message of change from a big pile of shit, but if it looks like shit, and smells like shit, and tastes like shit, chances are, it's shit. The only hope the Republicans have is their tried and true trump card; fear. But in this election cycle, hope trumps fear. Or at least you better pray that hope trumps fear. Because if the American people buy into the fear game this time, they're going to get exactly what they deserve. And it won't be pretty. posted 05/12/2008 at 17:17:55

"Playing he race card"; do you mean because he's black? You Hillary sycophants an chant that mantra until the cows come home, but EVERYONE knows that the Clintons played the race card. "Hard working Americans, white Americans" says it all. She was telling those hard-working white Americans to be afraid, that the black man just can't win, "So vote for me! I'm white!" She plays on the underlying racism in America like a true Republican. She and Joe Lieberman should team up and form the Judas Party. They've betrayed their democratic ideals, they've betrayed the Democratic Party, and they've betrayed rank and file Democrats across the country by showing their true Republican colors. So keep on making your ridiculous assertions about the "race card". It just makes you look like a stupid liar. posted 05/13/2008 at 15:27:32

"Moral relativists like Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani fell all over themselves to see who could win the requisite pro-torture voting bloc."

Does it not bother hard working Americans, white Americans, that there's actually a "pro-torture voting bloc" in America? How can you be a god-fearing Christian, and be pro-torture? It's a bit like the pro-lifers all being for the death penalty. America! Can't you just watch some violent porn, or a snuff film or two, to satiate that bloodlust? When do you start throwing the immigrants to the lions? Surely the bloodbath that you call your foreign policy, and the Caligulian excesses of your culture signal of the Fall of the American Empire. posted 05/12/2008 at 11:30:31

And here's something else to mull over. If Hillary had won Iowa and New Hampshire, and been the presumptive nominee early in the process, she wouldn't have given a flying fuck about the remain 48 states. You know it, and I know it. So let's not pretend. The primaries hardly ever, and I mean HARDLY EVER, run the full gamut of 50 states. But all of a sudden, a handful of small states with not enough delegates to affect the race, mean the world to Hillary and her supporters. What a crock!
And more importantly, if you and the other Clintonites vote for John McCain, then you were never true Democrats anyway. You've seen how Bush has nearly destroyed the country, and you know that McCain isn't just more of the same, he's worse. Do you honestly believe in tax cuts for the rich? You want more innocent blood spilled in Iraq? 100 more years. You want to nuke Iran? You want the Supreme Court stacked with more Neanderthals? You believe in torture? Then you really are a Republican! But if you help to elect John McCain, just to spite Barack Obama, not only are you stupid and mean-spirited, you're a disgrace. posted 05/12/2008 at 12:17:09

I'm not trying to defend the DNC, but if you enter a game, knowing the rules, you either play by the rules, or you cheat. Hillary knew the rules. Let's make that clear. If Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, weren't content with the initial decision made about Florida and Michigan, it should have been debated before the primaries began. Not now. The notion that in the dying days of the contest, all of a sudden the rules should be changed so Hillary Clinton can win, is the most absurd thing I've ever heard! How can you possibly justify that? It amounts to the same thing as saying "We've changed the rules now, and the winner will be the one with the nicest haircut." You didn't see John Edwards trying that crap, did you? This whole mess boils down to Florida and Michigan Democrats making a clear decision NOT to play by the rules. The DNC had rules about the primary process, but Florida and Michigan decided to thumb their noses at the process. They're SO special that the rules don't apply to them. And now Hillary thinks that SHE'S so special that rules don't apply to her either. The sense of entitlement here is overwhelming. It's not a coronation. You had you chance to have a monarchy, and you tossed the Brits out. In favor of Democracy. Try to remember that. posted 05/12/2008 at 12:15:54

Every Democrat in the race, including Queen Hillary, agreed with the DNC regarding Florida and Michigan. Let's not pretend here! Every Democrat in the race knew the rules, and agreed that Florida and Michigan would not count. Every Democrat including Hillary. Now Hillary wants to re-write the rules, in the dying seconds of the game. How cheap and tawdry can this woman get! But let's get this straight. Hillary knew the rules going into this race. Saying that Obama denied Michigan and Florida their vote is a bold-faced lie. The DNC, with the agreement of every candidate INCLUDING HILLARY, made this decision. Now Hillary is pretending that she doesn't know what people are talking about. She won Michigan and Florida! A lying, cheating elitist, who thinks she's so powerful, and entitled, that she can just change the rules in the home stretch, in order to steal the nomination. How repugnant!
So you go right ahead and spoil your ballot with your pathetic write-in campaign. You and Hillary both bring a whole new ugliness to the term "sore loser". posted 05/11/2008 at 19:31:25

I thought it was Republicans who prided themselves in accusing their enemies of the EXACT ugly things they're doing themselves. It's a classic ploy! The Clintons are playing the race card, so accuse the black man of being a racist! EXACTLY like the mega-weatlhy Washington elitists Hillary Clinton AND John McCain accusing the black man from a single-parent home of being an elitist. The pot calling the kettle black? How rich! And more importantly, how stupid do you think we are!!! The Clintons played the race card, plain and simple. "Hard-working Americans, white Americans" says it all. Not only are they playing the race card. In the same breath they're playing the fear card, because they want to scare all those "hard-working Americans, white Americans" into believing that the black man can NEVER get elected, so "Vote for me, I'm white!" It's ugly, and trying to defend it is even uglier. posted 05/11/2008 at 19:14:47

Isn't your country already one big Corporation? At least policy is dictated by Corporations. Why don't you just have the board members, i.e. the Corporate elite choose the CEO. Oh right! They tried, but Obama and his message of hope and change have foiled all that! He'd better watch his back. NOBODY messes with the Corporate Elite, especially the Media Corporate Elite. The Reverend Wright red herring will have been a walk in the park for Obama once he's the official nominee. The Republican smear machine, AKA the MSM will crucify Obama in ways that even Satan hasn't thought of yet. Ever since the Republicans deregulated the media industry, Corporate Media is nothing more than a propaganda tool. I mean in the most fair and balanced way of course.
Yes, congratulations to Hillary Clinton! She's shown us that Republicans don't have a monopoly on entitlement, hate, fear, or contempt for the American people. According to Hillary Clinton, white Democrats are a poor, stupid and racist lot, who'd rather toss away their principles and vote for tax cuts for millionaires and infinite war, rather than vote for the black man! And why not! Poor, stupid racist Republicans have been voting against their own economic interests for generations. And according to Hillary Clinton, Democrats are no different than Republicans. Why, if she was Republican, she'd have already won the nomination! And did I mentrion contempt for the American people! Although she thinks you're all too stupid to actually get it. posted 05/11/2008 at 15:45:45

Hillary didn't win Michigan and Florida. There was no contest in Michigan and Florida. This bullshit that you and the other surrogates keep spinning just makes Hillary look like the lying, cheating, scheming, "more of the same" candidate she really is! It illustrates the absolute need for change, both within the Democratic party and in America. Everyone accepted that Michigan and Florida wouldn't count from the onset. Now Hillary's going to change the rules at the end of the game? I don't think so! You're a deluded old fool if you think people are just going to sit still and let Hillary steal this thing, in Florida of all places, where Bush stole it from Gore. She's already proven that she's nothing more than a Republican, and this illustrates it perfectly. If you want to reform the Democrat's primary process, to better reflect popular vote or electoral votes, more power to you. But to suggest that it's OK to rewrite the rules, and move the goal posts at this point in the game, is preposterous! Who do you think you are? You're willing to change the playing field in the final stretch, just to accommodate Hillary stealing this thing? How arrogant, to think you can subvert the democratic process, and just get away with it. Oh right! You're closet Republicans!

Really? The man genuinely seems to care about America, and the plight of the poor. You prefer the swaggering frat boy with the smug sneer and contempt for the poor? Tax cuts for the rich are better than universal health care? If this is the way most Americans think, no wonder your country is in such a mess. Bush has such a huge ego that he was able to rape the treasury and give the booty to his friends in the oil and war industry, and not even bat an eye. It's the entitlement of the rich after all; power and privilege for the elite. But when Obama talks about the common goals of every citizen, and the need to help the poor, he's got a messiah complex. Well why not; it WAS Jesus Christ's life work after all, to question authority and champion the poor and the sick. posted 04/28/2008 at 18:09:15

It's like Nazi Germany sometimes, blindly following the leaders and lapping up the propaganda like it was warm milk, even when the whole world is pointing out that things aren't right. Dare not criticize the great and powerful America, or you're Anti-American; an enemy of the State. That's Fascism, folks! Just like we dare not criticize Hillary, or we're sexist. Or dare not criticize Israel, or you're anti-semetic. And I was responding to a post that suggested if you sympathize with Rev.

The one thing that the Rev. Wright scandal has illustrated most clearly is the institutionalized hypocrisy of America. America, a country that prides it's Freedom of Speech so rabidly that they'll shoot you in the face if you dare question it. Hate speech has no limits in America, and no laws or regulations regarding it. You can spew whatever hate and bile you want. It's encouraged. Look at FOX news pundits. Look at radical clerics like Pat Robertson or the late Jerry Falwell, or a whole host of hateful, intolerant clerics. Look at the right wing blogs. Look around folks! And what do all of these purveyors of hate speech have in common? They're white!!! But if a person of color ever dares to call out whitey, or criticize whitey... crucifixion! Even guilt by association, in the case of Obama. And corporate media, run by rich white guys, play that 30 second Wright clip on a loop, over and over and over and over and over and over. "Look at that angry black man! How dare he criticize this great country! How dare he criticize us!" I guess Freedom of Speech is only for whitey. posted 03/28/2008 at 13:20:54

Do you actually believe that God allowed 911 to happen because of feminists and gays and liberals? Do you think that these white evangelicals can get away with spewing their hate and bile simply because they're white? They endorse John McCain. They have unreasonably huge influence in the Republican party. And yet they spew their hate and intolerence week after week after week in white churches across America.

That was the same day he declared "Mission Accomplished". Remember that? There was NO Al-Qaeda in Iraq until they accepted Bush's challenge. Even now, Saudi insurgents are a bigger threat in Iraq than Al-Qaeda. Saudis; the same people who actually attacked you on 911. Bush's good friends the Saudis. The Bushes and Bin Ladens still conduct business, like the Bushes and the Saudi royals. It doesn't seem to matter that the 911 hijackers were Saudis, or that the majority of insurgents are Saudis.

And f.y.i., we all know about John McCain's "gaffes" too, even if they're given a pass by the MSM. The MSM isn't the only news kid on the block. And thank God!!! Because if they were, we'd all think that news meant sex scandals and fiery preachers and extreme weather, and whatever other tabloid trash they could sell to us as news. It's time that Americans took a good hard look at their media. Cable networks took news and gave it the Entertainment Tonight treatment. Now it's all candy-coated dross. And worse, we're force-fed this crap, under the guise of "news". And worse still, it's all thrown out there as a red herring. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, robbing the treasury and besmirching your good name. No, instead focus on the latest pop star's fall from grace or that politician with his dick out, or look at all that snow! In winter! Go figure!

The answer to the bigger question, of why John McCain continues to get a pass by the MSM, seems obvious, and I'm a bit surprised not to see more written about this. Does anyone really believe that John McCain misspoke? He repeated his assertion many times, not just once. He's a senior senator with decades of government and military experience. Are we really expected to believe that he all of sudden forgot? That he had a Reagan moment? That he's a doddering old man? Because I'm not buying that. I don't support John McCain, but I do believe that he still has his faculties, and I think he knows exactly what he's doing. It's called propaganda. He continues to equate Iran and Al-Qaeda, and by repeating it, in exactly the same way George Bush before him equated Iraq and Al-Qaeda, he's laying the ground work for future war. Repeat it, sew a seed, keep repeating it, and soon there'll be enough support for him to invade Iran, or bomb bomb bomb, bomb Iran at the very least. And the MSM is complicit in this. They allow him to disseminate his propaganda, unchecked. Just like they did with Bush in the lead up to Iraq. Expect an editorial by Judy Miller or Bill Kristol sometime soon, espousing the reasons why America needs to battle Iran. Because history is repeating here, in ways that can't be ignored. The MSM isn't some altruistic entity whose purpose is to get information to the people. It's a corporation that functions as the propaganda arm of the government. The government deregulated their industry, and in return, they do the government "favors". I illustrate my point with the crazy story about the release of the latest Bin Laden tape. Apparently Bin Laden is still railing against that Danish cartoon, 2 years after the fact. How convenient that on the 5th anniversary of the failed Iraq invasion, a tape magically appears from Bin Laden, giving talking heads across America the opportunity to utter "Iraq invasion" and "Bin Laden" in the same breath, over and over and over. Kind of like John McCain and his Iran/Al-Qaeda "gaffe"; over and over and over. posted 03/24/2008 at 14:11:43

Isn't subverting the electoral process called treason? We all know how patriotic drug-addled Rush Limbaugh is! posted 03/21/2008 at 12:12:25

Really, is this what America has come to? Trolls and propagandists defending this breach of privacy? You're all so hepped up on security, you color code you alerts. But when security is REALLY breached, you think that's just fine. Hypocrisy is one thing, but defending this breach is traitorous. Spying on a presidential candidate during an election year is beyond what's acceptable, even in America. posted 03/21/2008 at 13:01:06
