Joan Walsh
[Read the article: Elizabeth Edwards: "Obama was charming"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Joan Walsh is not getting any points from me on this retraction and here is way.
First, she lifts passages out of a NY Times article to push her case against Obama. Not good journalism or reporting here. Transferring information from source to personal blog.
Then she reads the post by Phoenix Woman, another secondary source for her information, and offers a retraction with a refrain - "Here's hoping other Democratic surrogates follow Edwards' lead and direct their formidable political firepower at McCain instead of at the two remaining Democrats fighting for the nomination."
Joan needs to follow her own advice. She has unquestionably directed her political firepower against Obama time and again over the silliest of pretenses. Would she have even questioned the dirty tactics of the Clinton campaign as well as her monumental lies, Joan would have found a place in the galaxy of "fair and balanced" journalism. Instead, she will forever be damned for sourcing her critiques from FOX, that paragon of fair and balanced news.

Bill says Hillary tried to join the army

She probably tried to join the marines and the air force too. Will this get into any one of Joan Walsh's columns? I think not.

Mike Madden
[Read the article: Hillary's bridge back to the 20th century]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]All the people Mike Madden interviewed for this article are going to vote for Hillary. Hmmmmmmm. Such a pro Hillary piece of work. Just does not seem plausible as by many polls Hillary's lead has shrunk to 9 points in some and 5 in the Rasmussen. Surely Madden could have found one Obama supporter in the crowd, that is if he looked for one at all.

AKA Smith
[Read the article: FactCheck.org: Obama statement "a little too slick"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You have only sent me your "I thinks" and I can send you mine, why I think that she will lose in November and why Obama is a much better candidate than Hillary. But we have done this back and forth before.
Hillary has lost the nomination and there is no turning around. Any Democrat who so praises McCain and ridicules Obama, a member in her own party, is by definition out, to not only destroy Obama, but the party as well.
For a lot of my friends who were pro-Hillary, that was a turning point along with Hillary's last ditch effort to deploy dirty attack ads. They will all be voting for Obama in the primaries. This is of curse anecdotal, but her polls have been slipping for her, slowly but steadily, along with superdelegates dripping out one by one every day.

Factcheck.org has as much credibility as Fox News

Viveca Novak
Ring a bell? Tingalingaling
Didn't she cover the outing of Valeri Plame? Karl Rove. remember?
She is factual about Obama and oil money?
I send Obama money every week and have to identify my employer, a major 500 corporation. Does that mean that my corporation supports Obama? This is the kind of bullheaded reporting that has given journalism a bad name.

Clintons will be gone from politics for a long time to come
[Read the article: Hillary's bridge back to the 20th century]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am starting to think she's playing for 2012
NOT. After these elections, the Clintons will be evaluated as a power hungry couple who stopped short of destroying the party to further their own ends. By taking back the Democratic Party from the right of center DLC that the Clintons helped to create, they will hopefully be relegated to the back pages of the media as well as the Democratic Party.
Good riddance to bad rubbish

-- AKA Smith
[Read the article: FactCheck.org: Obama statement "a little too slick"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Please read my entire post and tell me, where oh where did I shut you up and called you a racist. Your hyper reaction to any post from any Obama supporter is quite uncalled for.
As MaddieP suggested: It is best not to engage Clinton trolls. From now on, I will follow that advice. And you can do the same for Obama supporters.

Just in a coupla days she has dropped from 12% to 9%. Maybe she read Slate and pulled out all the straws to clutch at.

Where did you learn how to read
[Read the article: FactCheck.org: Obama statement "a little too slick"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not at all. You did not publically praise McCain, not that I know who you are, if you had indeed gone on TV to tout the experience of a man from the other party. I did not imply that YOU were out to destroy the party. Ridiculing Obama people as childish or sometimes worse, is your bete noir.
Last post on this. Go ahead. Have the last word, which you must, to satisfy that thin skin of yours that erupts with everything Obama.

Clinton Adviser Meets To Discuss Free-Trade Pact That Hillary Opposes
[Read the article: Hillary's bridge back to the 20th century]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary Clinton's chief campaign strategist met with Colombia's ambassador to the U.S. on Monday to discuss a bilateral free-trade agreement, a pact the presidential candidate opposes.
Attendance by the adviser, Mark Penn, was confirmed by two Colombian officials. He wasn't there in his campaign role, but in his separate job as chief executive of Burson-Marsteller Worldwide, an international communications and lobbying firm.
