  • Race war? Gender War?

    [Read the article: The race vs. gender war]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Are you folks on happy pills?

    It isn't about Race or Gender.

    It's about war.

    You want WAR?

    Vote for Clinton or Obama.

    You don't want WAR?

    Vote for Kucinich.

    Just how stupid are AMERICANS anyway?

    Yeah, that STUPID.

  • Pay no attention to the Defense Contractors behind the curtain

    Clinton, Obama, MacCain or Romney it really doesn't matter who wins.

    Pay no heed to their words or to the words of the media for they are meaningless.

    Pay attention to what they are selling.

    They are selling war.

    They are selling debt.

    They are selling fascism.

    Kucinich is not a WAR candidate so the media dismisses him.

    Selling war to the American people is job number one for the media. Selling drugs is job number two.

  • Yip Yip! Arf Arf!

    [Read the article: Yes, but what about the barn door?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Chris Matthews is a corporate lapdog and war loving shill.

  • Yip Yip! Arf Arf!

    [Read the article: Early debate news: Clinton and Obama won't take the bait]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Tim Russert is a warmongering corporate lapdog.

    So are Clinton and Obama.

    This is just a distraction to help them sell us more war.

  • @old gringo

    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Jerry Springer is not a warmongering corporate shill.

    Maury Povich? He is a shill for DNA testers not warbuckers.

    There is a difference between sleaze and treason.

    We would be better off with either of them in the White House rather than the choice that the warbuckers offer us.

  • Honesty

    [Read the article: Uh, Mitt? Aren't you forgetting someone?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Well, that would be just too big of a lie to tell.

    Guess why he wasn't inspired by his father?

  • Yes, you are a total sap.

    [Read the article: Early debate news: Clinton and Obama won't take the bait]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It is all part of the show, a confection and entertainment to distract us from the fact that the media, and the candidates that the media doesn't write off, are selling us more war.

    You might as well take professional wrestling seriously.

  • The Media defeat Democracy

    [Read the article: The Democrats defeat the media]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    No anti-war democratic candidate will be permitted to debate.

    WE are at war and democracy has no place here.

    You find this acceptable and tolerable?

  • @ Rosenkavalier

    [Read the article: Ron Paul rolls in Michigan]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Where have you been for the past 8 years?

    Your statement would make sense 8 years ago if you changed the name to Bush instead of Paul.

    The defense contractors own the news and politics. They don't own Paul or Kucinich?

    Go ahead and vote for endless war. Everyone else is. Well they just don't count the other votes.

  • Hype the insignificant nutjob

    [Read the article: Ask al-Qaida]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Hype the insignificant nutjob, we need him and his crew to justify looting the treasury and shredding the constitution.

    Let's keep pretending that his pal Usama is still alive, but people are starting to get suspicious about those tapes because our cgi guys are not quite as good as the ones in hollywood, but don't worry, with a little work and scripting, we can make everybody even more frightened of this guy.

  • KUCINICH NUMBER TWO IN MICHIGAN BEHIND CLINTON!!!

    [Read the article: And 61 percent voted against Romney]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    How come no headlines proclaiming Kucinich's silver medal perfomance in Michigan?

    Do you think that MSNBC can redo the debate and invite the number two contender this time?

  • Simon Cowell should replace Tim Russert

    [Read the article: The Democrats defeat the media]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    He should bring along Randy and Paula.

    They jut mght be able to save democracy.

    Look what they did for pop music.

    Clinton, Obama, McCain and Romney really would benefit from the Simon Cowell Effect.

    People would pay to watch those candidates get shredded by someone who isn't corporate lapdog shill.

  • He made a deal for the defense contractors

    [Read the article: Clinton calls Bush's oil efforts "pathetic"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    and Hillary would would make nice just like Bush with the Saudis because we need the oil for the oil companies to gouge us with and we need to take some of the money we give them for the oil and plow it back into the war industry.

    What's Hillary going to do that isn't pathetic? Invade Saudi Arabia and take our oil?

    That worked out real well for Bush and America with the last two countries we invaded.

    What is the currnet price of oil?

    Just what we need, another Clinton following in the path of a Bush.

  • @Juliebird - let the mud slinging begin.

    Candidate Challenge - "Mud" Slinging:

    Dig a pit big enough to contain the candidates. Fill it with manure. Place the candidates into the pit. Let the "mud" slinging begin.

    Be sure not to invite Kucinich or Paul.

    Wanna bet Mitt Romney wins?

  • @Juliebird - candidate challenge - the economy

    [Read the article: The Democrats defeat the media]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Each candidate gets a wheelbarrow.

    Place one trillion dollars in a pile on one side of a football field.

    On the other side of the football field place 20 defense contractors.

    On the football field place one thousand homeless veterans and one thousand horribly maimed veterans.

    The object of this challenge is to see which candidate can use their wheelbarrows to get as much loot as possible to the defense contractors while trampling over as many veterans as possible. One million dollar bonus for each veteran trampled underfoot.

    Winner take all.

    Do not invite Kucinich or Paul.

  • @Juliebird - Candidate Challenge - War

    [Read the article: The Democrats defeat the media]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Each candidate is given a boxcutter and a brick.

    Prisoners, uh, we mean "terrorists", from the Afghanistan and Iraq war are strapped to gurneys and rolled out into the middle of a football field.

    Tim Russert and Juan Williams MC the contest.

    The rules are simple. Kill as many of the enemy as possible using just a boxcutter and brick.

    (note, there is no penalty for "accidently" taking out another candidate under the rules of "friendly fire").

    Winner gets a free bloodbath. Losers has to appear on Meet the Press with the exception of the one who has killed the least.

    At the end of the event, a fireworks display is presented as Karl Rove is hoisted by Vince MacMahon with a crane to be dropped on the candidate who killed the least number of terrorists.
