[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yep, Chris Matthews is certainly for Obama and so is Olberman, Maureen Dowd and a slug of others.
They should be kicked out as soon as we can manage to kick out Joan Walsh and others who shill for Clinton.
Fair? Let's give it a try. But unfortunately, we don't have a media but a bunch of self styled, self inflated gas bags who try to manipulate our politics.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Tom Payne, you are a good man. I love you for caring about what is left of our democracy. These are indeed hard times for those of us who have lived through so much of our rights being eroded. Where have we come?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You can remain mommy's or daddy's little girl and run to them everytime someone hits back at you, after you provoke them.
Or, you can toughen up, you can grow up, and fight your own battles without needing crutches from others after you play the same nasty game. If you aspire to be a feminist, you should be able to take what you dish out.
Hell, I have been accused of calling ya'll all the vile names that I have been stopping people from calling you. I get saddled with it anyway and hey, what the hell. I am under a pseudonym anyway.
What is hysterical is, that it took all you degree waving Clintonons to go to Wikipedia to find out about Little Lord Fauntleroy. Didn't your folks ever take you to the movies to see little Freddie Bartholomew play Little Lord Fauntleroy?
So what do you do? Threatening to get people kicked off Salon is so childish and so second grade. What is preventing anyone to come back under another handle. Don't you know that already? So why the stupid threats that are full of hot air anyway. They make you look like a pathetic little girl who needs to be rescued.
And for god's sake. Tom Payne has apologized to you profusely, twice or three times already. Are you so full of yourself that you cannot accept an honest apology?
One more thing. I don't think for a single minute that you can get yourself to vote for Obama. Nope. I stopped reading your posts after I began to see patterns of white supremacy cloaked in a thin veils of intellectual discourse. Vote your conscience Kate. Knock yourself out. But please stop shilling for Hillary Clinton, because you are not going to change anyone's mind on this forum. If you haven't already figured out, many of us have been around for a while and are pretty well read and well informed.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]there's been a big power grab under the guise of the unitary executive. But that doesn't mean things can't swing back the other way either. And I think a lot of our bad empire building habits are not sustainable anyways. All the work that the neo-cons have struggled to perform to cement American hegemony seem to be only hastening the decline of our Empire.
These are important documentaries to watch. I highly recommend these on the simultaneous rise of radical Islam and the neo-con movements in the 20th century.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Here is the cheat sheet
This film explores the origins in the 1940s and 50s of Islamic Fundamentalism in the Middle East, and Neo-conservatism in America, parallels between these movements, and their effect on the world today. From the introduction to Part 1:
"Both [the Islamists and Neoconservatives] were idealists who were born out of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world. And both had a very similar explanation for what caused that failure. These two groups have changed the world, but not in the way that either intended. Together, they created nightmare vision of a secret, organized evil that threatens the world. A fantasy that politicians then found restored their power and authority in a disillusioned age. And those with the darkest fears became the most powerful."
Do try and google and find more info on this. This is not on the Wahabi aspect of Islam, more on political radicalism, which started in Egypt. That's your homework. Let me know what you think.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You flatter yourself. I don't have to make any deal with you. Your posts just don't interest me. I ignore others too, not because they are from Clinton supporters. But Clintonons are a breed unto themselves, and the troika of Walker, Smith and KateTex are repetitiously boring and reek of white supremacy.
I don't read your posts. I only responded to Tom Payne to quit using that term. That's all. I know what you are made of now, after he aplogized to you 3 times. Feel free to be arrogant and self absorbed.
And please. Stop playing the innocent victim. People see right through you.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The pan-islamacists, If I remember. Didn't nationalism and dudes like Nassar do them in? I thought Saddam was along those lines, if only as a rationale for him becoming the reincarnation of al-Saladin
Yes. Nassar did imprison and I believe execute them which then started a whole secret movement out of that martyrdom.
Just copy and paste the first URL to see the video. Would you believe, the guy was educated in the US and took back with him the seeds of revolutionary Islamic radicalism.
I need to watch it again. It's been a while.
