GG tirelessly documents the complete corruption of your political process, from the President, the Congress, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the DoJ, and on down the line; and people here are prepared to go to the barricades in defense of putting healthcare into the hands of the most venallly corrupt and murderously indifferent government you have ever had, and THAT is going to make everything "OK"?

-- ScuzzaMan

Glenn Greenwald continues to work, "tirelessly" to disrupt and improve upon all of those entities you mentioned. An example would be his involvement with the ACLU. Another example would be his involvement with Accountability Now. Neither of those involvements call for what you are calling Libertarian measures.

No, those of us who are working towards, for an example, the Public Option in the health care industry debate cannot be heard by anyone but the most dishonest persons (that would apparently be you) saying that that "is going to make everything "OK"". We're not saying that. What is it that you think you gain when you lie so baldly?

I don't do favors for the likes of you

You're a boor and a bore. Do me a favour and don't ever address me again, huh?

-- ScuzzaMan

I'll address whom I please. You, of course, may do the same.

a comment

From the wapo article.

one of two sources who described the sessions, speaking on the condition of anonymity because much information about detainee confinement remains classified. "He'd [KSM] even use a chalkboard at times."

Well that just tears it. Damned terrorists. I wonder if that anonymous source had to think twice before revealing that scary information about the chalk board.

there was a clue in the first response: that not everyone who calls themselves libertarians give a fig about liberty, just as not all who call themselves democrats give a fig about democracy.

-- ScuzzaMan

Is that supposed to be your excuse, explanation, whine, your nanny-nanny-nanny-goat reply for not being able to write or say Democratic Party? If so, what a dishrag of a tool you are. You and the ever so handsome Newt Gingrich should get a room.

I was not and am not pitting Clinton against Obama. I was not and am not defending Obama. What I was and am doing/saying is that the evidence shows that it is not likely that Clinton would not be playing any less of a shameful game with this health insurance debate than Obama has.

@The cliche 'The Who' person

Hillary Clinton would have fought for healthcare reform, but too many fools thought Obama would change America through charm. Wake up.

-- won'tgetfooledagain

Did you see the documentary movie Sicko? Voluminous documentation that Hillary Clinton is as bought as any politician is by the health insurance industry.

-- ScuzzaMan

The Democratic Party is one of the oldest political parties in the world.

You call it Democrat Party because of:

A)Stunning ignorance?

B)Indolence?

C)Disrespect?

D)Stupidity?

E)Other?

Again, I am continually amazed at the naivete of liberals who are horrified about greed in a capitalist context but then assume it just disappears in a socialist one, where everyone becomes high-minded and public-spirited.

-- mikebuzz

I see that we have one of those commentors who doesn't need anyone to reply because he is speaking both for himself and for any and all others who might reply. Thanks, Mikebuzz, for speaking for us all. How generous of you.

My shorter version of my comment could have been said with four letters, followed by three more.

Second, do I have to watch Maher? Love you Glen, but I get my Moyers direct, thanks for including the text. Moyers in his program has followed the debate in the most concise and clear fashion.

-- Stella

I understand your distaste for Maher. I've felt the same way. I can't stand watching his panel shows with all the guffawing. But this was commendable what Maher did. Setting aside a half an hour with Moyers, and, notice that Maher said very, very little. He didn't show off or feed his ego. He allowed Moyers to say what he wanted/needed to say. Well done, this time, Mr. Bill Maher. Please know that and do it again.

Thanks. I didn't see your revision until after I posted a minute ago.

@Kitt

Last I checked, 57% is still more than 50%.

While Daily Kos is unabashedly leftist, pollsters on both ends of the ideological spectrum consider Research 2000 to be a reputable pollster. If you disagree with this assessment, fine, but it should be noted that Rasmussen is generally considered a right-leaning poll. I know you probably wont bother to visit fivethirtyeight.com because Nate Silver leans to the left, but his explanation and dissection of polls is truly impressive. As my dear departed mamma would say: that boy's smart as a whip.

You're completely confused about what I posted. Please go back and re-read it. In fact I can see by the quote below that you're completely confused about me, period.
