The Turkey Goebbels
[Read the article: The poisonous rhetorical legacy of Karl Rove]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In what way is Rover not a fascist. Sure, he's not a Nazi. He would have been, but he missed the country and the mark by 60 years. But a slithering fascist toady, Gollum without the redeeming qualities, is pure Rover, a hellhound on the trail of every American who values the Constitution.

republikan logic
[Read the article: The bicycle thief]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]ketchup is a vegetable and bicycles are not transportation. There's your modern fascist domestic agenda. Idiots.

L. Ron Smith
[Read the article: The Mormons are coming]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The key difference between L. Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith is about 125 years and a buttload of money. Sure, the mormons are cordial; so are the moonies and the scientologists. there is not a speck of credibility to the book of morons. Lost tribe of Israel. Yeah, right. And what became of those golden tablets. Believe Christianity or not, at least its historical outlines are corroborated by archaeology and written history. LDS is woven from the same whole cloth as their magic underwear. What a crock.

Edibility
[Read the article: Alicia Silverstone's naked PETA ad]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And this ad is supposed to make you NOT want to eat mammals? Counterintuitive, I suppose.

Genius v Cynicism
[Read the article: Here's looking at you, "Kid"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We live in an unholy culture that wants to simultaneously exalt and destroy talent. That this talent may reside in a small child is what makes this story fly. But genius does exist. What does a parent do when a very young child demonstrates truly extraordinary talent? Ignore it? Enourage it? Exploit it? God knows the school system won't know what the hell to do with a genius. When you have crap like "Baby Einstein", crack for toddlers, floating around, what do we expect? It's as pointless as "who wrote Shakespeare". Look at the paintings. Allow yourself a little optimism. A gift is just that: something that comes to you unwarranted. Accept it. Real talent frightens the bejesus out of most Americans, and our culture reflects that, in spades.

[Read the article: Here's looking at you, "Kid"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]sports? running and jumping and playing with balls. Wow. that's talent. Of a sort. How 'bout Murkin Idle, Clearchannel, Thomas Kinkade. Popular American art blows goats. The music biz is a bad joke. Ella Fitzgerald couldn't get arrested, and Lincon couldn't get elected. The dumbing down worked. Stupidity reigns supreme, with, of course, notable exceptions. Go to a representative sample of Murkin movies and tell me talent counts. Horse hockey.

Conservatives Aren't Fascists
[Read the article: How Bush wrecked conservatism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What we have running this country over a cliff is an unholy alliance of fascists, oligarchs, and flat earth bible thumpers. Bush is all three, his very own personal trifecta. His day will soon be over, and the sun will set on Newt the Patoot's reichwing revolution. It was revolting while it lasted.The courts, packed with goosesteppers, and corporate octopi will be harder to rid ourselves of, but the perseverence will be worth it.

Edwards is The Right Candidate
[Read the article: Is Hillary running away with the race?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Polls don't say who should win, or who you really hope will win. It's Vegas nonsense about who people think will win. Hillary is a bright lady, but she's a lightening rod for "conservative" hatred, and the surest candidate to bring out the reich wing crazy vote. She is the only candidate, other than Kucinich, who has a very real chance of losing to a Republican that should not get within ten points in this race. The republkans have botched every single thing for seven years. Everything. John Edwards would be them like a rented mule; Obama would make a perfect running mate, and pave the way for sixteen years of relative sanity. It will take longer than that to undo what the connecticut preppy fascist cowpoke and his henchthings have done to this country and our place in the world. Hillary is NOT the answer.

Billary? Smarts?
[Read the article: Is Hillary running away with the race?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama was editor of the Harvard Law Review. Edwards was the most feared personal injury attorney on the east coast, and maybe in America. Hillary is Bill Clinton's very smart wife. BFD.

Test Him
[Read the article: Perino on Mukasey: Confirm now, question later]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Waterboard Mukaskey, leave him naked in a cold room for 24 hours, and then ask him how he feels about it. The fact that this is even under discussion reveals the depths to which this fascist administration has "lead" us. The only realy difference between Rove and Rumsfailed and Goebbels and Goehring is 60 years. Achtung, baby.

Billary, the Republkans' Choice
[Read the article: The era of Hillary begins]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No one can energize the fascist base and get their vote out more certainly than Hillary. She's a vanilla junior senator and would be a nothingburger if she weren't married to Bill Clinton. It will be very hard for the Democratic Party to lose the '08 election, but Billary's the woman to make it all too possible. Edwards/Obama would win by 15 points.

empty head, empty suit, empty faith
[Read the article: "A vote for Romney is a vote for Satan"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Romney is Michael Huffington with better dental work. He's an empty headed vacant suit, and a Mormon is as Christian as a Scientologist. I hope they nominate the creep.

[Read the article: "A vote for Romney is a vote for Satan"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Jim Jones. L Ron Hubbard. Joseph Smith. Con men all, and invoking (sacriligeously, might I add) the Name of Jesus doesn't innoculate you wackos. I dated Mormon girls before I was married. I read the entire preposterous Book of Morons and it's the least credible book purporting to have divine inspiration until Hubbard came along. If Mormons weren't rich and clean cut, they'd be in the same bag as the Waco Wackos and the pod people waiting for the MOther Ship. A lost tribe of Isreal in America. Right. There is no evidence- absolutely none- to back up any of the basic tenets of LSD. Archaeology? Paleontology? Horse hockey. I lived in the intermountain west for many years, and had to deal with these insular hypocrites every day. Many were fine people. So were the folks at Jonestown. I have no respect at all for Moronism, as I do not for the Moonies, the Scientologists, and the Republikans. Go sell your Coke to Moroni. I don't buy crap, which is all it is. Have a nice eternity in your magic underwear.

Holy Shit
[Read the article: How George Bush really found Jesus]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Everything about Widdle Georgie Bushit- every single thing- is an out and out fraud. Spoiled preppie cheerleading cokeheaded beerbloated warmongering phony.
