if jindal were a democrat and obama and republican, how much do you want to bet jindal would be painted as a treasonous america hater in the media?

hmm?

any takers?

at least this president is transparent about using the press.

great. filibuster it, i can't WAIT for the labor uprising. that will be the best thing to happen to america in 160 years.

I have tried to read this website, Jihad Watch, that you have mentioned. It makes my head throb, and eventually I have to look away.

Jihad Watch is run by morons for moron readers. They might as well call it "Nigger Watch", which is about as subtle and equally as racist as their stated raison d'etra.

And yes, to some extent I'm being a little passive aggressive having suffered through a few years of a strong Euro and strong Asian currency being taken advantage of by European and Asian tourists here in SF in that I hope worldwide market depression will make traveling cheaper.

If you don't ever leave your comfort zone, well, I feel sorry for you. Being comfortable is dangerous, the status quo must be challenged, and re-challenged, and re-evaluated. That is the difference between me and the hardliners -- I often don't want to get off the couch, but I know I have to force myself to, and I almost always am glad I did.

..and I'm also hoping that the price gouging for super Tuscans abates a little.. Eu$280 for 1997 Sassacaia? Gimme a fucking break!

when rethuglicans threaten the nuclear option, or filibuster everything that comes along, that's bipartisan?

If you are against drug legalization, consider yourself to be "conservative" and listen to Rush Limbaugh.

Look around. Who has their hand up? Okay.. for those of you with your hands up do the rest of us a favor and just fucking kill yourself now.

If you need someone to explain to you why you should fucking kill yourself, well.. I guess that's a typical Limbaugh listener.

on 9/11 they said that sarcasm was dead. now we know that irony is dead.. if you are a republican..

Priceless.

who gives a rat's ass what those alaskatucky hill jacks do?

what, is this TMZ?

Abortion in the 180th trimester should be legal..

item 3, cell phone pics.

have you ever met or got to know any cops?

sits back and enjoys..

republicans will be out of power for a long time.

maybe there is a god. a god that wants republicans to lose.

wtf are you talking about?

Interesting. You think the government can tell adults what they can or can't put in their body, but you get all libertarian when someone goes after liar radio's ability to spread hate speech unchecked.

Personally, I'm not for the fairness doctrine, but I am for expanding public radio and community supported radio.

we already have slander and libel laws. why don't we just toss limbaugh, hannity, o'reilly and beck in jail for running their liar mouths?

Please.. we all watched the West Wing.. we know how this works.. Danny Cancannon, your question?

I may have missed it, but did the good doctor say anything about Israel's right to exist? No. Oh well.

I don't know, did he? Maybe he had a lot to say about the aboriginal people who happened to inhabit the region we now call "Israel" before it became the State of Israel by fiat from the colonial powers who had controlled that area and decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

Israel only has a right to exist as long as there is a consensus that it should. Stripped of the blessings of Western powers, Israel is a non-state.

It is my sincere hope that a majority of Americans come to the same conclusion.

And before you label me as anti-Semetic (an ironic term, considering Palestine was full of Semites before the Zionists came), know that I fully acknowledge the crimes of Germany against the Jews during the Holocaust years of WWII, and that I have many close Jewish friends.

..Who are happy to live in America and England and Italy and Australia and have no interest in occupying some so-called promised land in the Middle-East.

When Ahmedinejad says that the regime of Israel should be erased from the pages of history, there is something true there that resonates with me and millions of other Americans who are sick and tired of propping up the racist Zionist regime of Israel's hard-liners.

That's just how I feel. I think Israel's government is unprincipled and oppressive and racist; much like my own.

But I see no reason not to kill two racist birds with one stone.

Are these people all high on Oxycontin?

Maybe. But I'm a nerd, and I love having a president that not only speaks in complete sentences, he speaks in complete paragraphs. And not the normal "ipso lorem" gibberish of politicians, but actual lucid thoughts.
