Lanny Davis: Howard Dean Should Resign If He Helped Kill Debate
Your comments are offensive. Tacoman aren't you Mexican. How would you like it if someone told you to climb back over the wall to Mexico, which people often do in this country? You are shameful. All Americans, no matter what ethnicity have a right to their opinions and deserve to be heard, or don't you believe in freedom of speech? I'm assuming you support Sen. Obama. I don't think the message Sen. Obama is trying to convey has anything to do with censoring Jews does it.? So where did you develop this disrespect? People like you are part of the problem in Obama's' campaign. You are the real bitter person, not the folks in PA. When others read your offensive comments, it gives us more worry about the type of supporters he has and about the real tone of his campaign. posted 04/23/2008 at 01:27:44
Howard Dean is not extremely well liked by democratic voters either. He couldn't become the democratic nominee years ago and he probably has an agenda behing what he's doing.
This translates into being an extremely ineffective party leader. If the Clinton's don't like him or do not support him, it is based on his policies most likely. As you saw in the primary tonight, we seem to have two parties within one democratic party, the ultra liberal vs. moderate -cons. democrats. Even if Sen. Casey, a pro-life democrat and very Catholic man supported Sen. Obama, it never translated to the 69% of Catholics who voted for Sen. Clinton. Even if you don't like her, she did achieve her double digit win necessary to keep her in this race. Even if Dean doesn't like her or her husband, the superdelegates will make up their own minds. Dean should resign. I don't like him for the same reason stated by SCMagnolia. He is looking for donations when we as supporters are still donating to our prospective candidates. The DNP isn't going to do much financially to help either candidate. Therefore, why bother us now? Opportunists and gold diggers they have become looking to divert our attention from the upcoming primaries ahead. This is why Dean should resign. posted 04/23/2008 at 01:16:42

I agree with you. If Obama was trailing in the counts, his campaign would be screaming foul at Dean and the Party and they would have every right to. Let all the people have their vote and their voices be heard. I certainly agree with this extremely fair sense of play. posted 04/23/2008 at 01:02:42

Clinton's Attacks on Obama Patriotism Have Nothing to Do With "What the Republicans Will Say in November" - Everything to Do with Her Own Strategy
Mr. Creamer, you are mistaken. I have randomly contacted people in PA for weeks, some who are republicans and they do say that Hillary Clinton is the candidate they would vote for over McCain, not Obama. Please stop deluding yourself and other readers who entertain in your wild assumptions about Hillary Clinton's intentions. Many republicans do not like his policies, period. I know what I hear from people and it is not what you believe to be true. She is the viable contender here for November. Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but someone had to wake you up. posted 04/21/2008 at 01:02:27
Superdelegates Unswayed By Clinton's Attacks
You all need to watch the debate again. Obama was responsible for his own undoing here. Hillary Clinton has been attacked by moderators almost the entire debate season. Finally, Obama gets a little thrown his way and he displays immaturity and unpreparedness at handling the criticisms. Give us all a break. Talk about silly season, how bout his comment regarding his dig at Bill Clinton in an attempt to deflect the attention off of the issues addressed to him about his affiliations with Ayers. He should stick to himself, not demean Clinton. It was his character being questioned, not Bill Clinton's. Bill is not running for the white house. This showed me and many voters in PA how immature Obama is and how he and his campaign were the real instigaters in attacking Hillary Clinton through the use of her husband and his policies. You haven't attacked her on her record in NY, but merely what was done when her husband was in office. How pathetic and sad for all of you. You can't even do better than this. Stuff like this makes Arianna Huffington fair game as well because of her past and her husband. RIGHT? I hope so. posted 04/18/2008 at 12:18:51

Joe Scarborough Walks Off MSNBC's "Race To The White House" After Exchange With Rachel Maddow
What you learn in school and what you choose to apply to your daily life are two very different things. Many people have attended the best universities and have obtained Doctorates and have amounted to becoming opportunists. Booksmarts vs. commonsense. posted 04/18/2008 at 13:33:36
The last time I watched the show, when they had on Pat Buchanan, she refused to accept the reasoning that Hillary Clinton still had a shot in the remaining primaries and could still be the nominee. She kept downplaying the possibility of Clinton ending up as the nominee. It was brought out that she could make a good case on her behalf. Rachel Maddow kept shooting down everything Pat Buchanan said. I found this very offensive as an objective observor. I refused to watch after this show. Now whether that was wishful thinking on her part, she needs to show more of an unbiased opinion of the process, not what she wants to happen. This was over a month ago. Despite what the media feels, Hillary Clinton still could end up as the nominee at the convention. That is as realistic as saying Obama could be the nominee. Rachel Maddow refuses to acknowledge this. Therefore, she is not fair, nor truth based in her commentary. She has some political agenda and is very transparent in her pursuit of it. posted 04/18/2008 at 12:59:12

First of all, we only sampled a snipit of the exchange between the two individuals mentioned. We do not know what happened before this exchange.

The disease I am referring to has nothing to do with homophobia or homosexuals. I did not know she was gay until you mentioned it. How sad that you can't see that the disease is her blatant disregard for truth and fairness in the media.

Hillary Clinton On Southern Working Class Whites In 1995: "Screw 'Em"
People from all over the country including the south come to our state because of the programs for our nations developmentally disabled. Also, when I taught early childhood, parents were never sent home a questionaire asking them if they had health insurance. Now, in NY every child is sent home a questionaire in Kindergarten and if they need insurance they are offered Child Health Plus and Family Health Plus. She has fought for funding for these programs. Also, according to an acquaintance of mine, if you go to common sense. org. you will notice that the alleged earmarks she allegedly took weren't for her state only. She has many earmarks listed with other politicians from other states as well. She does share with others. But most of you and the media like to ignore these details. posted 04/19/2008 at 22:29:34

Axelrod: Obama Regrets But Won't Apologize For His Remarks
Oh, I gather you did not hear about the private meeting he had this week where he alleged that HE, not Hillary or McCain had foreign policy experience. He also made claims to having traveled to 80 foreign nations and met with their leaders. He said he had more experience than both other candidates. Hmm? Senator for barely three years and made eighty trips during this time? Boy, I bet the economically downtrodden people of the state of Illinois appreciate paying for these trips when they barely have money to pay their home heating costs. posted 04/13/2008 at 03:03:47
Shut up! Their blood is on Bush/Cheney's hands. Stop scapegoating her for their actions.

Again, shut up and open your eyes. posted 04/13/2008 at 02:57:37
My evidence is the ten hours of phone calls I have made so far on her behalf to all parts of Pennsylvania. They are not bitter. Both Obama and you are wrong. Yes, they are suffering bad times, but they know the power they are wielding during these election primaries and they are far from bitter. They are very hopeful and unjaded and quite frankly even the Republicans were quite cordial to callers from HRC volunteers. So that's my evidence, and it was supported by other volunteers along side of me for the last two weekends. Shallow thinkers are those who refuse to see that people can remain idealistic and still look forward to a promising future despite the odds/hard times. Shallow thinkers=Obama and you. Both you and BO should put a little effort into developing some depth of character. posted 04/13/2008 at 02:53:33

and Obama is switching his original stance on immediately withdrawing from Iraq. So how wrong does Obama really think the Iraq war is( obviously not wrong at all). He is just an opportunist who truly believes no one is listening. At least Clinton is calling for an immediate commencement of troop withdrawal and cutting off the financial gravy train the people of Iraq have been enjoying at our expense. Hello, did you all forget we are knee deep in debt to other countries? posted 04/13/2008 at 02:40:26
You are so wrong. Bitterness is the last thing they convey to callers and volunteers. They aren't even cynical, like all of you who post. This is what makes them so special. With every thing that has happened to them, they still have faith that we can pull ourselves up and out of this war and economic crisis we are in. posted 04/13/2008 at 02:35:48

As someone who lives in NYC, I agree with your comment and as much as I dislike to admit it, find there is much truth in it. Since volunteering for HRC, making calls to Pennsylvanians and having many conversations in great length regarding the issues they feel are important, I feel I can solidly state, that these are NOT bitter people. They are decent, hard working citizens concerned about our their state's future. As far as Obama's comments regarding "clinging to their guns" these are hunters, not murderers. They prefer to know where their meat and poultry is actually coming from. People from large cities constantly diminish the intellect of those from smaller towns because they know on many levels that these people are the true survivors and moral backbone in our country. City folks typically can't stand to be reminded that we should demonstrate values and morality in our everyday actions. We need states like Pennsylvania to whip us into shape when our heads get to swollen. The stories I heard from many voters from Philly to Erie, not only humbled me, but at times caused my eyes to well with tears. Since volunteering, I feel the emotions. How could we not expect Senator Clinton to get emotional after doing this for what seems most of her life? Only a candidate with ice in his veins would not be able to convey the deepest respect and empathy for the people of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and other states suffering economically. posted 04/13/2008 at 02:31:00
Here We Go Again
Ms. Smiley,
Instead of writing about what you assume to know about Pennsylvanians and others affected by the economy, you should pick up the phone and call them and truly listen. These are not gay bashing people or gun toting bitter people. Stop wasting the time of the American public with lies and deception because you choose to defend Barack Obama. Clinton is right. When you overgeneralize about a sector of our nation's community that has taken the biggest economic hit, you do come off as elitist and discriminatory. I spoke to many of these people and they were kind, courteous and far from bitter. They are concerned. You don't like hunting, that is your perrogative. But you do not have the right to imply that those who do are bitter Americans because of the bad economy. Hunting has been a sport for many years. It has nothing to do with Bush or Reagan or any politician. So please come off your soapbox and make some calls and hear for yourself. posted 04/14/2008 at 08:03:37

It is a deceptive practice often taught to those who study Rhetoric and Public Address for the purpose of discerning when you hear it and avoiding being sucked in by it. Since I have a degree in Rhetoric/ Public Address I knew immediately this was a sham. Obama has also used "our" in his speeches on primary/caucus days. His use is even more transparent.

However, demeaning four other individuals who have never demeaned you or your fellow black Americans is truly unfair and speaks volumes about the unfair nature of your character. I guess Hollywood sees this as well, which is why you are so bitter and could never garner enough support at oscar time for your movies. Channel your energies into your failing career and cease in attacking those in the political world who have never hurt you directly. posted 04/08/2008 at 09:19:20
An Issue of Legitimacy and Democracy
FYI, delegates by caucus does not constitute the popular vote. Just another inane comment by those who do not comprehend the difference between caucus and primary. Dopes to the core. posted 04/09/2008 at 19:53:04
What I find hysterical is that here is a man who outraised Hillary in campaign contributions by millions and still lost three out of 4 contests on March 4. What the heck did his campaign do with all of this money, because obviously they did not use it wisely? Now that's what I call a scandalous story. What is he the Steinbrenner of Politics? posted 04/07/2008 at 01:31:12
Governor John Corzine is an honorable man. Who do you think you are, Dan Savage? Give me a break. NJ has one of the best school systems in the country. What we need to do is clean house with all of you rude dysfunctional degenerates who post this gibberish and make public examples of you at the Democratic Convention.

Andrew Sullivan: Bush Administration Officials Will Be 'Indicted For War Crimes'
But still he supported him at one time and unfortunately his development of a conscience come too little too late. What's done is done. And he can't fool us anymore. So it is best that he should bow out of criticizing a presidency and administration he supported from its inception. At least democrats in congress can claim they did not support the administration, but cast a vote . Sullivan defended the administration. That is worse. posted 04/08/2008 at 14:32:33
Wait one minute. I'm a moderate, but I side with AProudAZLiberal. Andrew spent much of the time he was on Maher and other programs supporting Bush's presidency. Now in the last year or so, he has backed off. While, I don't condemn him, if you are all going to blame Hillary Clinton for her vote for the Iraq War, you shouldn't exonerate him either as a writer just because of his maleness. I am not saying that you specifically blame her, but many who post on the HuffPo make claims as to her culpability and it really isn't fair. I do not feel Senator Clinton or any other congressmember should be held accountable for this war. This war was going to happen no matter what because those were the plans of our government. Lets be realistic and see the picture for what it really is. For us to blame congress is a waste of our time and quite frankly, they have been shamed and do feel the sting from the deception as well. But I do agree with you about our "pitiful in our collusion." Although, I never voted for Bush either time, there were those Democrats who forsook Al Gore in 2000 and this is the aftermath we had to face. posted 04/08/2008 at 14:27:23
While most of us agree that they should suffer for their greed and crimes, especially Rumsfeld and Cheney, how many do you accuse of being Anti-Christs? I agree that Rumsfeld fits that description, but to many of you who have posted on this and other sites, you also accuse Senator Clinton unfairly of being the very same thing. Let's all be really sure we are on the same page. Anti-christ=Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc..Caught in the middle and decieved: Senator Clinton and every other congress member that gave their vote for the invasion of Iraq. posted 04/08/2008 at 14:13:46

Joe Biden: The Surge Is A Failure
I understand your point. However, Delaware was in shambles long before the current war in Iraq and as far back as the late 70's. If as you say they have nothing to with improving living conditions and helping to provide jobs in that state, then why did Tim Russert attack Hillary Clinton on this very issue with respect to not having created the jobs upstate which she had hoped to accomplish during the MSNBC debate which he and Brian Williams moderated this winter? While she made it clear that her plan had been contingent upon her strong belief that Al Gore would be president, Russert was not satisfied. Is there one standard for her and another for Biden because he is a man? I know my concern may sound ridiculous to you, but could you try to understand my point? It seems as though consistency is lacking as to what these politicians are really supposed to accomplish while in office. It also seems as though male politicians get a free ride while female politicians are practically branded witches at Salem for not being able to make good on honest intentions. posted 04/06/2008 at 01:14:20
While I am not for the war and do wish our troops were safely home, I am perturbed by Senator Biden trying to get press attention with his comments rather than fixing the mess in his own backyard in Delaware. His state is in shambles and in all of these years he and Carper have done very little to improve conditions there. Why do these stubborn Delawareans keep electing do nothings into office? It pathetic. I left the state in 1985 and its worse than ever, poverty, drug related crimes, lack of jobs, slum ridden areas all over Wilmington. Either these people enjoy oppression or they just do not acknowledge its existence. posted 04/05/2008 at 14:16:35

Gay Paper: Obama Refuses To Talk With Gay Media
Blackpressradio.com posted 04/07/2008 at 00:53:44
What does color have to do with anything. Why do you all keep injecting the race card. The black publishers asked to meet with her. She graciously accepted. Period. That's where it should end. There is no need for conspiracy theorists or lies. I am a volunteer from NYC where she is our senator. I know from reading many of our local papers particularly the smaller ones which really have no agendas. She has been a great advocate in our state on healthcare and on education. Why is it so hard for many to believe that she has the capacity to do good for the nation? I do not follow much of the logic posted by many of you. Much of the time I find it quite offensive. However, those are your beliefs and this is a free country. So have a field day. posted 04/07/2008 at 00:49:10
Since when is Jennifer Beals gay? She just plays one on tv. That does not make her an expert on gay media nor does it make her an expert on Obama's beliefs. The only thing she may know about as Obama does is being biracial. She should stick to that topic. There, I will listen. posted 04/06/2008 at 02:57:22
So the writer gave a contribution. Big deal. The real question is" When did they give the contribution?"
They may have contributed after Obama dissed them and Hillary graciously granted the interview. They may have been waiting to endorse a candidate and his apathy toward them made up their mind. Did you ever consider this? No. You just pounce on her for anything. posted 04/06/2008 at 02:52:14

No, I said you were brainwashed because you rip into anyone that differs with him and expresses this difference of opinion, not because you support him. posted 04/06/2008 at 01:33:03
I have no idea what you are referring to. I have never hidden my support of Clinton. What is your problem? I've never hidden my concerns about Obama. What are your issues? Again, there goes the negative comment about Clinton. YOU can't seem to engage intelligently about this issue without denegrating Clinton. Where did I denegrate Obama? You are sad. posted 04/06/2008 at 01:29:30
I believe you are unfair to Clinton. I am sure she truly did expect him there and was shocked that he never arrived. Clinton is a decent lady. You should not denegrate her thoughts like you did. That is the problem. If I make a point, you have to attack Clinton. Higher education allows me the ability to question what I feel is questionable. Your education enables you to conjure up negative images of the other candidate. There is a difference you know. I'm with Dr. West. posted 04/06/2008 at 01:23:38
Dear Mr. West,
Thank you for reminding me that we still live in a democracy where we all have the right to question who ever we want and also have a right to speak our minds, despite the wrath of the selectively blind and deaf in this country. God bless you and Tavis Smiley who know how the politics of the day is carried out and how people still do sell out and ignore social obligations in exchange for power and glory. I agree with you. There was no reason he could not have made a brief appearance, we still have airplanes. He does make appearances on television and radio. I would think MLK would have been an important enough figure for him to want to pay homage to. But I will give many of these people who post the benefit of the doubt and say that they weren't around in the 50's or 60's to know and feel the difference back then to today's world of far more privilege. If they had been, they might have a different perspective and pay you a bit more respect. But I do know Obama was around as he is older than I am and while I am latina I hold great respect for MLK because I attended schools which were predominantly black and know how hard these kids had to work to earn the respect of their teachers to be chosen to test into some of the finest schools in NYC. Peace. posted 04/05/2008 at 15:31:19

Bush was his own man to and did not answer to the people either. What a strange thing for you to write. You have just set up your candidate for us to draw parallels of his character to that of George W. Bush. Obama has to answer to the people- all people, even Dr. West. He doesn't have to answer to his own conscience. We had eight God damn years of that bull crap. He needs to show that he answers to the people! Get a grip or your candidate will surely lose with opinions like that. posted 04/05/2008 at 14:58:39
With all due respect, Tavis Smiley is a good decent man. He is fairminded, intellectual and curious about the world-all of it black, white etc.. To attempt to condemn men like him because he questions Obama or his supporters or the media supporting Obama is outright ridiculous. Higher education teaches us to question, not accept what we are told. Dr. West is an esteemed scholar, do not put yourself on his level, until you have walked a mile in his shoes or Smiley's for that matter. Such disrespect for such good decent men. What is wrong with you? Has Obama really got you that brainwashed that you decided to rip into anyone who differs with him? That is a bad sign. posted 04/05/2008 at 14:53:59
