When more Americans are dying because you failed to press Hillary Clinton on ANY of her statements or actions on Iran EVER I'm going to blame you.

When millions of Americans (including many older women whom you've made it clear are the only people you care for) STILL don't have health insurance because you've helped tar, feather, and spit on BOTH Democratic candidates for dragging us through this slime and muck, and either they can't get an agenda passed or that fossil John McCain manages to beat them I'm going to remember and blame you Joan.

When food prices continue to rise, and you have journalists even here actually trying to cover the growing shortage in food (including seafood) across the nation and you choose to waste your time on petty crap like this I'm going to remember and blame you Joan.

When gas prices reach $5.00 a gallon and middle class families, who can't afford groceries or gas, start realizing the extent of what's happening I'm going to remember and blame you Joan.

So you go ahead and let Barack Obama's words stand for themselves. You're right he did a good job handling this. But it's largely as a result of you and your rich, entitled San Francisco crowd (from you to Mayhill Fowler to Howard Fineman who was citing Willie Brown who also thought this was a problem for Obama on that absurd MSNBC network) that have fostered all of these distractions and nonissues, instead of dealing with the real and substantial issues this country has.

So when it comes to words and actions, I'm going to remember and blame you Joan Walsh, for what you've done. When people ask me how the media managed to destroy a great country, I'm pointing them here first.

Joan,

What do you think of Glenn's column? Do you really not think this time would be better spent covering healthcare the fact our nation has a failing economy, the fact average people can't afford gas or food or, you know, the fact we have a major war that keeps killing thousands of Americans and dragging on endlessly?

And before someone else gives me this crap about judgement, McCain mister anti-lobbyist was part of the biggest lobbying scandals in D.C. history the Keating Five Scandal and Hillary Clinton, by her own admission, was too stubborn and didn't have the judgement to pass healthcare the first time.

When are you going to cover real news Joan? This is not real news. If you don't know the difference I'll gladly explain it to you.

Iraq is real news. Rising gas prices, that's real news. This is a media-drive (please not I said driven not created) so-called firestorm that wastes all of our time, does not tell the American people anything they don't already know, provides no real new information, and does a disservice to journalism.

So when, again if ever Joan Walsh, do you intend to return to being a real editor and journalist?

But I'm still gonna ask them and they should be doing it.

As Glenn pointed out (sarcastically) this would be slightly more tolerable if we didn't have real issues, but we do.

The press simply doesn't realize how fall it has fallen. And I'm not sure the American people do either. There was a time when they wouldn't have even bothered asking questions like this.

And then there was a time when they would but when they would have taken a reasonable answer (see John F. Kennedy and the Catholic problem. When he addressed the group of ministers in Houston, none of them came away agreeing with him. None of them felt he had answered all of their questions. But they all saw he was a reasonable person who would apply logic to the job and had done his best to answer as many of their questions as he humanely could.)

The press nowdays has the attention span of a two year old and the interests of a bunch of gossiping high school freshman. Quite frankly high school freshman would do a better job.

This continues to be a one-sided argument. There's an outcry over the stupid AIDS comment, which Obama told you he disagreed with.

But there is no outcry over the fact the government DID inject black men with syphilis and a series of far more deadly diseases PURPOSEFULLY during the Tuskegee experiments.

There's an outcry over Wright's statements about America. But there's no equal outcry over how a bunch of people who have never bothered to serve their country are completely ignoring the fact he seved as a former UNITED STATES MARINE.

There's an outcry over how angry African-Americans are. But there's no equal outcry over the ignored role they've played throughout this country's history.

There's an outcry over Barack Obama being called black when he is in fact half black and half white. But there's no equal realization that a half-black and half-white man, Crispus Attucks, was the first to die for this country and basically started the Revolutionary War. There's also no comment about how by the end of the Revolution 1/5 of Washington's Army was made up of blacks and people of mixed black and white backgrounds.

The problem is that America, despite trying its best and continual advances, is only telling HALF of its history. And the half that doesn't manage to get told always, magically, happens to be African-American history.

That's what Wright was trying to explain. I hate the way he did it. It was stupid. But it's what you're not examining.

Are you kidding? After the type of campaign she's ran and the comments her surrogates have made. Spare me.

No a speech from her would be a waste of time and a further slap in the face. We'll pass. Thanks anyway.

Pitiful. This poll surprises no one. Reverend Wright is simply not as BIG of an issue as you and your pitiful friends on Hardball, including Chris Matthews keep trying to make him out to be.
