Bullshawn, Again
[Read the article: Who wants to be a Democrat?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Tell us again about the fact that billary won 77 percent of the rethugs crossing over in Mississippi. How does that support your theory, mr "real democrat". Who died and left you the arbiter of who is and is not a real democrat? What you're leaving on the thread is what the sea gull leaves on the rock. We're not that gullible. Save us the self righteous act. It's not convincing. Or are you channelling Gerry "those lucky coons" Ferraro? hard to tell the difference sometimes. love heywood

amen, shooter
[Read the article: Geraldine Ferraro still needs to apologize]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yep. I coached soccer for eleven years when our kids- two girls, two boys- grew up. coached both genders, sometimes mixed, usually one or the other. we used to hug the girls when they came off the field, whether they'd done great or had a bad half or whatever. Now, I'd get arrested for molestation. These were 11 year old girls, my oldest daughter's friends (and assassins on the field, lemme tellya), and affection and team spirit were part of the deal. we won the sacramento first division girls championship (the blasters, after the old school rock band). Yes, we need to be mindful of our language, but it's gotten waaaaaaay out of hand. This has nothing to do with what Ferraro said, which was mindfully hateful and politically motivated. She's a big girl, and can live with the consequences. she's one I'd never call honey, believe me. piss and vinegar, maybe.

Amen, McGee
[Read the article: Geraldine Ferraro still needs to apologize]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Gee, we have us a revival meeting. A distinction, however: Obama came out clearly and unequivocally to separate himself with the inflammatory language of a follower/supporter. Hillary merely "disagreed". Wow. that's powerful. It was only the very public and utterly preposterous nature of Ferraro's comments that set off this last rash of back and forth. The postulate that a black candidate has an advantage because of his race is off the charts stupid. Yeah, those colored gots all de luck: dey kin jump, gots natch'l rhythm, big "packages" to lure away de white wimmen..... it's just breathtakingly dumb and disconnected. How about they talk about the economy starting have that "1928 redux" feel about it; or the fact that 12 more soldiers died for nothing in Iraq this week? Issues, please, and not back issues of Klan Illustrated.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]About six one and average. I don't insult women as a group. As individuals, absolutely. I'm a egalitarian. An idiot is an idiot without regard to gender, race, creed, national origin, or fiber intake. I hold with the theory that for every male pig there is a female shrew. It evens out. I could give a shit what you think or how you vote. Must be the fiber. Love dealing with one dimensional thinkers. So literal, so retentive, so dull. air kisses and symbolic huggies, heywood.

walker's cunning stunt
[Read the article: Geraldine Ferraro still needs to apologize]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wow. Bold type, capital letters, wide spacing..... that is just sooooo impressive. And dick jokes, too. You've got it all. and a personal vibrator as your friday night companion. I really haven't the faintest what your gender is. You have the attributes of a hermaprodite, and the vocabulary of a seventh grader- and not a bright one at that. So, prattle on with your diatribes and see how that helps poor, put upon Hillary, crucified like a female Christ by the male dominated media, and bested by an uppity black man too impolite to wait his turn. Does that make Obama stubby also? For tomorrow's breakfast, try the rolling doughnut. Rumor has it they're yummy if you can hit the center. Bring your electronic "friend" to better your chances. The cool think is, with all this cartoonish posturing we do on line, that it has absolutely no effect on attitudes of douche bags of either gender (Big Bill has been the biggest douche bag in this whole election, with Ferraro a distant second, so don't give me the feminist line that any reference to a feminine body part or product is sexist.) May your dreams be damp and frequent, and may the wind be ever in your contorted, rage torqued visage. If I may be frank, in closing (according to you a cocktail frank) I actually hope that you pull out of it. Type plainly. Say what you mean. Realize that these web threads are as substantial as spider webs. Be well. Really. I mean no harm. I'm just a stubby old man with a keyboard, while you're an intellectual giant and a sexually flexible goddess of unimaginable beauty before whom the seas of humanity part in abject reverence. It's an honor to be berated by a person having your rank. your humble servant, tommy

the laborious D I K
[Read the article: Who wants to be a Democrat?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm sure your talking points for tomorrow will be less tedious than today's. They could hardly be more retentive, repetitive, condescending, or dull. Hillary is going to win Penn. by 25 points now? Is that your prediction, oh omniscient one? The five's about right. My prediction: after all the primaries, Obama will be up by about 130 to 140 delegates and close to a million overall votes (no, Wet Excrement Sack, that doesn't mean voters in Can Bust Ems). Let's get together in June, shall we say, and compare predictions. How do you like your (Jim) Crow cooked? With a white sauce, I presume? May your Depends hold out until then, affectionately, the tomster

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I assume that Walker was a slavery apologist. Had to be. The only walker I've consorted with, and that was many years ago when my liver could take it, was Johnny Walker. Black, of course.
