    "I cannot find it in myself to reward the behavior of the Obama campaign,it's supporters,the media and the bully blogger boyz."

    Yes, this is exactly what so many of us are feeling. I'm with you a hundred percent.

    As for your comment re Roe v. Wade - you've nailed it. Let the younger generation of women, many of whom seem to despise Hillary Clinton and all her contempories, find out what it means to lose the ground that older women have fought so hard for. Many of these younger women don't seem to have a clue. To them, older women are superfluous, outmoded, damaged goods.

    As for the men who have been demonizing Hillary for months now, it's more than a little ironic that these bullies warn of a SCOTUS reversal of Roe should McCain become president. Their regard for women apparently doesn't go beyond knowing they'll be off the hook should their girlfriend become pregnant.

    "...the plastic popup in billary's meaty thigh has popped."

    So now she's a side of beef named 'billary'. And you expect me to show respect to your candidate? Don't hold your breath, bucko.

  • Hillary's mistake

    [Read the article: What did Clinton do wrong?]

    Was in not factoring in the MSM's unprecedented, and nauseating, love fest with Obama. Her other mistake was in not factoring in the viciousness showered on her at the same time by the MSM. We now have a completely useless Fourth Estate which has abandoned all pretense of objectivity. It is deciding this primary. It will decide the general election. Does no one else find this more than a little scary?

    You are one nasty piece of work. You and the many thousands out there just like you in the blogosphere have put so many nails in Obama's political coffin, there'll be no opening that sucker ever again. I've said it before and I'll repeat it here: there's something terribly wrong with a candidate who attracts so many vicious supporters. I've never seen anything like this before and hopefully, we'll never see the likes of the Obama campaign again, because it has been - and continues to be - too downright ugly for words.

    "...shilling for Hillary Clinton and smearing Barack Obama with any cow dung you two can dirty your racist hands with..."

    Sooo, what does the 'yeswecan' part stand for, anyway? Let me take a guess here: imprison and torture those who don't agree with Us when The One ascends the throne?

    Do you have any idea how foolish that slogan sounds in light of what has come after? Turns out Orwell was right. He just got the date wrong.

  • Headline is abominable

    [Read the article: Was Hillary channeling George Wallace?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Any weak attempt at fairness toward Hillary Clinton in this piece is completely negated by the headline. Yah, sure. Hillary Clinton is George Wallace alright. Let us hear no more screaming about Fox News, because the left is fast sinking below Fox's dubious level on the right.

    Oh, and juxtaposed on my screen just to the right of the text box? Another Obama photo op (the ten thousandth on this site?), with this one making him resemble a member of the celestial choir. The selfsame ad box (or whatever it is) with Hillary Clinton's photo also appears on salon, but with her face resembling a shriveled prune. Objectivity, thy name is mud.

    "Still, we need to bring the Clintonites in, to get them behind the Democratic candidate. We're also going to need them to help clean up the vast mess left by the Bushites

    Good luck with that, walter. Afraid you'll need to clear the decks of the likes of 08yeswecan, jeffersonian, and untold others, before there will be the slightest, most remote hope of cajoling Clintonites into the fold.

    This whole fuster cluck brings to mind nothing more than a blatantly abusive spouse adjuring the abused spouse, "But we have to stay together for the good of the children." Hah! Divorce is legal in all 50 states. And the children? There's always the option of therapy, however expensive and protracted.

    You know, earlier tonight, I clicked on this thread and actually burst out laughing, the venom was so unbelievable, not to mention utterly juvenile. "Progressives Go Postal" about sums things up.

    A correction: you're dead wrong about my political affiliation. I've been a registered Independent since the late Sixties, but have voted Democratic 99.9% of the time. However, I haven't felt good about the party since Bill Clinton's administration ended. Due to this rather vile primary season, I now hold large parts of it in contempt, especially the parts which have trashed and betrayed the Clintons - the only success story the party has had in dogs' years (Obama will rue the day he arrogantly and foolishly wrote off Bill Clinton's administration - believe it).

    So, like millions of others, I'm a free agent who will follow her conscience come November. At this point, absolutely nothing in my conscience tells me I have any obligation at all to vote for Obama should he become the nominee. I don't believe him much of the time, nor do I believe in him, or even like him. You can call that racism; I call it my right to make a judgment based on the available evidence.

    Ah, so your praise of AKA Smith is supposed to give you cover while you resume trashing me? Pretty transparent, loaded with guile. Those who condemn hatred while practicing it are known as hypocrites, I believe.

    So who said I was voting for McCain? You know something I don't know?

    Also, it's interesting to learn that I've been a 'concern troll' for over 40 years. You'd think I would've found a new hobby in all that time.
