Did anyone ever tell you that what comes to mind every single time you post is that disenfranchised Iraqi, Chalabi, upon whose false intelligence the Bush Administration based its entire WMD war premise?

I don't need to be on anyone's list of good guys.

Too bad that name associations cloud your perceptions. Hope not. It actually means Free Spirit.

I also know a Chalabi who is anything but the Bush toad.

I get what you are saying and agree with your philosophy. But please, you are weeping too much into the pages of Salon. Weep away if you must. But people will soon get turned off by this constant barrage of idealism and self congratulations, and much of your good salient points may go unread.

I will take Barbara Ehrenreich's credibility over yours anyday.

I really don't care how many people you know in Washington and what uhmmmm progressive politics you indulged in. But right now, you are sounding more and more like KateTex. Maybe you are one and the same. Who knows

You are making some horribly outrageous claims about Barbara Ehrenreich. Who are the progressive feminists you are talking about? Yours is nothing but an anecdotal - how about personal - intolerance because she has come out on the side of Obama.

Ehrenreich is an accomplished writer and social commentator and wrote Nickle and Dimed on the inequities in America today. What fringe group do you think that Ehrenreich belongs to? Is this a cloaked reference from you about those bad bad lefties whom the Klintons marginalized? That's right. Now I get it. Fringe - marginal. You got the language right, but you sure are exposing your disdain for the those others in our society. Ehrenreich hanging on the fringes - oh puhleaze. You should go join the sisterhood and brotherhood of KateTex, AKA, Shawn, if you have not already.

Here's a google search for Barbara Ehrenreich

You are being unusually nasty with X Hutman. Time to lay off. Hutman has been a selfless and dedicated deconstructor of all innuendos and lies that Hillary and her cohorts (including Joan Walsh) have perpetrated on Salon. Why the acrimony?

We need to find out the snail mail address of Salon.com and send registered letters to the board members. I doubt that they have salon emails.

hillary did not lie. She misspoke. Obama supporters are robotic followers, just blindly applauding his great speech on race. hillary supporters overlook her big lie on Bosnia, NAFTA and other big lies. hillary supporters doth drunk the kool aid and following her into the big white house in the sky.

Didn't hillary also raise the flag on Iwo Jima? Have we caught her on that truth as well?

James Carville

I am along time admirer of James Carville. He is honest and fair. He is a Hillary Clinton supporter and like others, we know Richardson owes his career to President Clinton. I too agree with Carville and I said the same thing he said: Richardson is Judas. He was speaking in metaphors as it happened over Easter. That is why I thought the same. There is a belief that loyalty is an honorable asset to one's character, so when I learned Richardson, after telling other high profile people he would support Senator Clinton and then chose Obama I thought there was "let's make a deal". I have little or no trust in Obama and would put nothing past him. He had called consistently asking Richardson to endorse him and I feel Richardson had little impact on his own run for the presidency so his endorsement is like a John Kerry, a man who lost to BUSH! It comes down to loyalty. It does matter and anyone who is offended by Carville's comments, don't know the man. Carville knows what loyalty is and therefore he expects no less from others. Good for him!

George Bush took an oath of loyalty from all his surrogates, a dangerous subversion of dissent which no country or administration should tolerate. An oath of loyalty was the cornerstone of the third reich. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think that anyone in the Klinton administration, swore to that oath.

Have you ever stopped to wonder why so many from the former Klinton years are now supporting Obama? Because they know who the Klintons are and how easily they will throw anyone of their loyalists under the bus. That's who they are and that's what has informed Richardson's decision to go with Barack.

You say that you don't think that hillary lied about Bosnia. Then you go on to say that she dismissed Sinbad, folks from the media and then not until the video surfaced that hillary got caught.

Still, you don't think that hillary lied. Hmmmmmm.

I hope that these shows will reciprocate the same exposure to Barack Obama as they did with hillary in her run up to Texas and Ohio. Let's see how equal opportunity they are.
