Idiots
[Read the article: Ask the pilot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Patrick, you give all those idiots too much credit. Just because someone knows how to post on Salon, doesn't mean they know anything about anything. The first rule of the free market is, you get what you pay for. It is inviolate. A bunch of us idiots voted for Reagan (not me), and we got all the ATCs fired. We wanted deregulation, we got it. So all these sniveling whiners need to shut up and be happy with what they voted for, or agitiate with their representatives to get re-regulated (with the knowledge that prices will rise substantially, in all likelihood). As to the rest of us, well, it was ever thus under the tyranny of the majority.

[Read the article: Ann Coulter on John Edwards: "Faggot"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Pay no attention to this poster, as he (or she) is paid to troll this site. I doubt she (or he) really believes any of the tripe he (or she) posts. My guess is the source of the money is Scaife, at some level, if you drill deep enough...

[Read the article: Romney and Coulter, BFF?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Once again, defending the indefensible. Ann Coulter isn't fit to pick Al Sharpton's nose. I bet you can't name one thing he said that is as offensive as almost anything that comes out of her mouth. You want to compare him to her, then prove it. Give us the quotes and the venues and the audience and the context, and give us a link to an independent source, since we obviously cannot just take your word for it.

Kerry's joke
[Read the article: Romney and Coulter, BFF?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you analyze what he was saying, it's really depressing. The gist of it was if you don't study hard you could end up as a really stupid president, but president nonetheless.
So yes, Coulter's "joke" has a comedic "theme" I guess, if you think the word faggot is funny.
I find the idea of a really stupid president funnier, myself...if only so many people didn't have to die because of it though...

HRC
[Read the article: Romney and Coulter, BFF?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]By the way quorel, herer is the full text of the relevant portion of HRC's speech:
"My friends, we have a march to finish. I will be reintroducing the Count Every Vote Act, to ensure that every voter is given the opportunity to vote, that every vote is counted, and each voter is given the chance to verify his or her vote before it is cast and made permanent.
We have to stay awake. We have a march to finish. On this floor today, let us say with one voice the words of James Cleveland's great freedom hymn, "I don't feel no ways tired/I come too far from where I started from/Nobody told me that the road would be easy/I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me."
And we know -- we know -- we know, if we finish this march, what awaits us? St. Paul told us, in the letter to the Galatians, "Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due seasons we shall reap, if we do not lose heart."
She was quoting James Cleveland you jackass. So your little putdown is not only dishonest, it's pathetic.

[Read the article: Libby attorney vows appeal]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Entirely incidental? One again, you make a statement without any proof. Just because you say it was entirely incidental, doesn't make it so. Everything I've read about the jury indicates that they took their job seriously, deliberated for 10 days, and returned a verdict they decided was just. If you can find anything to the contrary, please cite it. I doubt you will, though, because facts and evidence are not relevant to your opinions.
By the way, you still have not identified your employer...

[Read the article: Libby and the White House book club]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What is your real name? Who is paying you to post here? I wonder if it's perhaps Salon, just so they have at least one anonymous conservative douchebag on their message boards...

abandoning Iraq
[Read the article: House Democrats' plan(s) for Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You can't actually abandon Iraq if you've never been there, joe. What is your real name anyway? I guess if I was one of these guys that beats the war drum from the safety of my sofa like you I would use a fake name too...

HRC and women
[Read the article: Hillary Clinton woos women]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think, when all is said and done, once women get into the booth, they are going to vote for Hillary, no matter what they tell any dumb poll.

right and wrong
[Read the article: We're with Dick]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]About some things, there can be opinions. About other things, not. The situation in Iraq is now very bad (as I and others predicted, way back in those halcyon days of yore), and is getting worse every day. Bush's actions have led directly to the deaths of over a hundred thousand people, probably far more, that otherwise would have lived. If you disagree with that, you are wrong. There's really no other way to say it.

The first step
[Read the article: Finally: Senate votes to debate Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well imagine where we'd be if the Repubs were still in charge...it may be almost meaningless but that's a shade better than meaningless...
