My dear Ms. Walsh,

How long are you going to run that obscene "United Against Nuclear Iran" banner ad?

How much does selling a war on Iran pay you?

What is your price to not sell war?

Not that I could muster such a magnificent sum, but perhaps collectively all of those Salon readers who are not in favor of sending Iran back to a pre-industrial state sans water and electricity, might be able to buy Salon off for the benefit of our Iranian friends.

Then again. perhaps more of Salon's fine liberals are already set to launch preemptive strike.

But I am curious as to the sum and I am not questioning your morality or ethics in the matter, merely your price.

How much does a "liberal" go for these days?

Why does anyone care what Buchanan says anyway and why do they call it "hardball" since it is neither hard nor has a ball?

BUT TO THE MORE IMPORTANT MATTER,

HOW MUCH MONEY TO STOP RUNNING PRO WAR BANNER ADS JOAN?

What IS your price.

My dear Ms. Walsh,

I watched the video.

What kind of people watch programming like that?

What was the point of the "discussion"?

Did this give the voters any useful or worthwhile information?

Why do we or should we care what Colin Powell thinks?

Does race have anything to do with it?

So who is General Petraeus endorsing?

Does race have anything to do with why you were not discussing his opinions?

What is the point of discussing others celebrities opinions?

Whatever happened to issues, policies and facts?

What is the point of associating with people like Pat Buchanan and Chris Matthews?

I thought you liked Hillary Clinton. If I liked Hillary Clinton I certain would give Chris Matthews the bum's rush. If you think Buchanan is a racist why associate yourself with him?

I think that these TV types are generally a really bad lot. I fear that you have fallen in with a bad crowd and I am concerned that you may end up hosting Meet the Press or something even worse.

Like running banner ads for war with Iran.

Why that makes Buchanan look all lovely and angelic in comparison.

Does Mr. Buchanan favor war with Iran? Perhaps next time you will find something with which you may all agree upon.

Whatever you are berlet98,

"Barack Obama is a horse of a different color, with no pun intended by that metaphor"

I am quite certain that no human being could have written such a text. You must either be a CYLON, a functionary of SKYNET, or an automated checkout terminal at a grocery store.

But berlet98, you are NO human being, not on this planet.

Here is where you slipped up, racists do not refer to puns. Puns tick them off.

The Banner Ad for WAR WITH IRAN!

I went to my email account and THERE IT WAS, just as big as life and twice as ugly!

It is contagious, no doubt cookies and arcane webwitchery at work.

I cleared my browsers cache and reset everything and the ad went away.

Now I am happy to see that Joan is selling me a 2008 Dodge RAM instead.

If the warmongering ad follows you, reset your browser and cross your fingers.

This joke has passed its expiration date.

Morons will feast upon stale crumbs, so your effort is not lost.

Clinton was the governor of a hillbilly state.

Bush was the governor of a big hat cowboy state.

Reagan was the governor of the flakiest state in the union.

Carter was governor of Georgia.

So Palin is qualified to be president.

Next Sarah Palin joke, please?

This one has mold growing on it.

The absence of the AD for WAR WITH IRAN!

I have not seen it lately.

I see a gray expanse in its place.

That is a most welcome shade of gray.

Joan Walsh, if this is your doing you have my praise and thanks.

Kudos.

Much appreciation to you.

It is very nice to see something change for the positive. I had almost given up.

Blessings to you and yours.
