  • "Chris is at Least Entertaining"

    [Read the article: From bowling to orange juice]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    In my opinion, this is the whole problem. People looking for news as a form of entertainment. And boy, are they gettin' it!

    I know a lot of these shows do not claim to be "news" shows, but let's face it, they know full well this is the only place people get it. Because it is just soooo damn entertaining.

    Puke! We're a nation of idiots. And contrary to what most Republicans think, it WILL catch up to us. And very quickly at that.

  • Talk about elitist

    [Read the article: Obama and the white working class]

    If Obama is an elitist for saying the working class people of Pennsylvania feel bitter, what do you call the people who are telling those Pennsylvanians how they are supposed to feel about his comments?

  • Hillary support the politics of guns, god, and gays

    [Read the article: Clinton, Obama, and the forum on faith]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Hillary knows GOD damn good and well what Obama meant by his statements. He clerly meant to point out how a large portion of Americans have been beaten into economic submission by the Republicans and conned into focusing merely on the "morality" politics of god, guns, and gays.

    Apparently, Hillary is more than willing to utilize that same technique. Ignore the economy, ignore the war....look, over there, the queers are going to take your guns and religion from you.

  • God, guns, and gays

    Support Hillary and you'll get more of the same. Nobody wants to hear about actual things that affect their lives. Let's keep 'em all focused on the simple shit. Know what I mean?

  • Boys are poopy heads

    they're mean to girls...and they stink

  • Sexism is the Reason Hillary is Losing. How Convenient!

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Why is it okay for Clinton supporters to call Obama supporters misogynists, but it's not okay for Obama supporters to call Clinton supporters racists? Both claims are bullshit!

    I spent a lot of time and money supporting Hillary. Go read my posts from a few months ago. I spent my frustration lashing out at people calling them misogynists and sexists on this site and many others. I was wrong!

    I just couldn't take her nonsense any longer. I don't dislike her because she is a woman. I dislike her because her actions make me believe she would make a HORRIBLE president. And believe it or not, most people who don't support her feel the same way.

    If Obama spent as much time whining about being black as Clinton did about being a woman, he would've been out of the race a long time ago.

  • Newsflash: Hillary has Already Lost the Primary

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    For those who are saying that Hillary is the last chance for a female Presidency, I think I know where you are coming from.

    This is certainly not the last chance, but blaming her failure on sexism has definitely set the movement back by about 50 years I estimate....so far. Keep up the good work Rebecca and it will be more.

  • Hey donjoh, you must be mistaken

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]

    You said General Wes Clark endorsed Hillary Clinton, but according to a vast number of women posting letters on this site, there isn't a man on the planet who'd support Hillary.

    Are you saying they are all wrong and you are right? You are obviously a sexist. Smarter than all the women around here, huh?

  • Hey ProudTexasGirl

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here, you don't like black people, do you?

    Did you really say he rode the affirmative action bus to college and if he were white he'd be scrubbin' toilets? Or did I just imagine that?

    Nice post. Can you do a few more of those please?

  • ProudTexasGirl - I'll ask you again:

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Did you REALLY mean it when you said Obama rode the affirmative action bus to college and if he were white he'd be scrubbin' toilets?

    And then did you really mean to answer this question by saying: "Don't go there...I have plenty of black friends for your information..."

    You are pulling our leg, right? You are really an Obama supporter trying to make Clinton supporters look like racists, right?

    You had me going there for a minute. Good one. :-)

  • Hillary's "intolerant-of-being-challenged attitude" is a spot-on description

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    At the risk of using a previous posters credibility to bolster my own arguement, her description of Hillary Clinton's "intolerant-of-being-challenged attitude" is exactly right.

    Her failure to cash in on the resounding support and momentum she had coming into the primaries is the very reason- I believe- we are hearing all these excuses of sexism (by the way, I was once one of her supporters erroneously saying the same thing). The fact that she has lost the nomination couldn't POSSIBLY be the fault of her or her campaign. No, it is the fault of an external force.

  • I am a HUGE Hillary Clinton Supporter

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I think Obama is totally unelectable. Mostly because he is a man, but also because he is black. I would never vote for a man or a black person. I hate both.

  • Clinton Supporters are Racists and Men-Haters

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Did you see that last letter from the Clinton supporter who said Obama was unelectable because he was black and a man?

    All Clinton supporters must be racist men-haters. Am I wrong?

  • And one more thing

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If Clinton SUPPORTERS are racist men-haters, than Clinton herself, by logical extension, must be a racist man-hater too.

    Just like Obama is a horrible candidate because some of his (alleged) supporters called a Hillary Clinton supporter a cunt. This clearly defines all Obama supporters, as well as Obama himself, sexist jerks.

    P.S. - I'm tired of the grade school logic in these comments.

  • Thank You LeCastor

    [Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]

    Thank you for pointing out how your friend AKA Smith was quick to accuse David Sugarman of sexism upon calling you a "cunthead" while failing to express equal outrage or even cite the fact that it was preceded to you calling David a "dickhead".

    I think it is very telling in light of the comments. A male calling Hillary a "bitch" seems to be defined as obvious sexism, while a female calling George Bush a dick, asshole or whatever is not even considered for a second to be man-bashing.

    Interesting.

  • He's McCain. He only needs to SAY he supports the troops

    [Read the article: McCain sides with Bush, opposes new GI Bill]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    John McCain doesn't need to be judged by his actions. How dare you people suggest such a thing! He's John Fucking McCain.

    He only needs to SAY he supports the troops. His base (the mainstream media) will keep it from the American public that his actions suggest the opposite.
