Ms. Coulter needs her meds adjusted.

That latest screed was priceless, but a bit too much like parody to take very seriously. Yer runnin' off the rails, Coulter.

Out there as she/he may be, I'm impressed. That level of medacity really is difficult to counter. But, then, this is how the Right in this country has worked for 100 years: lie their asses off to confuse just enough people that they win elections.

We're gonna work very hard to put you back under the rocks you crawled out from. Back where you belong. It'll take awhile, but I have hope we can manage it.

Worth noting, Joan, that once the big newspapers became the organs of control for the Ruling Class, they became almost unreadable. This occured over a period of time, so it was rather like crabs boiling in the pot...no-one realized what was going on until it was way too late.

The main reason newspapers are dying, aside from alternate sources of news of various kinds, is that they're BORING! And so obviously tools of the ruling class. This he said/she said journalism is a perfect example of that: this kind of "journalism" protects the corporate interests of those who own and run newspapers, and the personal and professional interests of whatever constituencies newspapers have left.

A print newspaper that starting really telling things like they are would get my attention. All these real journalists who have lost their jobs in the old media should start a new paper, that tells the truth to power, tells the truth about GOP lies and subversion of American democracy. I bet they'd find an audience.

Of course, such a paper would be fighting companies like GE and NewsCorp, which is no small battle, but better to fight such a battle than be a tool of the ruling class..what the hell fun is that?

note well, that intellectual giant spoincy, wrote, in part:

Ooohhhh, I don't know if I could take the witty comebacks. I notice that neither of you fembots bothered to make any comments about the points that I made. But then, as I have pointed out in numerous other letters about liberal cowardice, that's the modus operandi: to ignore the actual points that are being made and go right after the person who made them. Very intellectually honest, very adult.

I've been hanging around progressive blogs for over four years now, and I must say that spoincey just described to a tee the method of right-wing trolls like himself. Project much, spoincey? Elephantboy does this kind of thing all the time. It's his stock-in-trade, you might say. Both the projection, and the complete inability to answer strong points against him. Sadly, you have the very same problem. But, then, I'm guessing you're quite young, and probably quite stupid. You're posts suggest as much.

...parlor psychology is so cheap, but I can't help asking...what exactly do you think is going through Clinton's mind when she says things like this?

Do you think she really doesn't get it? Or is she just doing her proper PR job, and being a profound cynic in saying such things?

I wonder about this a lot. Kyleben asked my question: how does an otherwise intelligent, worldly, informed human being say such things with a straight face?

You'd think, at the VERY least, members of the Obama administration would avoid saying anything of this sort, for all the blindingly obvious reasons.

Color me baffled on this one. Genuinely baffled. It's as if Clinton had a big target painted on her foreheat by spewing such patently cynical gabble. Jeebus.

who sez:

Courtney Love. Wouldn't cha just love to see her punch Simon right in the kisser? Slingin' her tits every which way and katerwallin' at the audience? Courtney Love for Idol.

doubledave...I salute you. That is sheer. genius.

I'd PAY to see that.

Alas, the target audience for Idol--pre-adolescent girls and their mothers--might not take kindly to Courtney..but what a great idea!

as has been clearly stated elsewhere, the modern GOP not only can't STAND, it can't AFFORD any government program that actually works well. The GOP's way of getting and keeping power is to say that "government" (that is, anything they don't like or is ideologically unwelcome) is the problem.

A government program that demonstrates its effectiveness on a truly grass-roots level drives goopers insane because it undercuts their entire ideological foundation, such as it is.

Just say it, Andrew. The GOP hates any government program that works. Most especially including social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and unemployment benefits.

Far as I'm concerned? At this point? The entire GOP, its members, voters, and sundry enablers, are traitors to America and should be completely ignored from here on in. They don't care about America, all they care about it their own financial and political benefit. Period.

...what is really all that different between the standard GOP position on any given issue, and Baucus's position on those same issues?

I have a feeling he'd be more comfortable in the GOP, even as it is.

Sad that the DNC feels the need to support quislings like Baucus. What good is a majority, or even a plurality, if some significant minority of your majority might as well be on the other side?

So, ok, you DO get to organize congress, I get that, and that's a good thing...christ, our system has been pirated by crooks.
