[Read the article: What's missing from the Democratic convention?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Democrats are obviously limited because they are guilty of many of these things...
And unfortunately the Dems believe in many of those things. But the decision not to fight has a further implication. The MSM loves a contest. They want to be officials at the Super Bowl of politics. At the same time the Rethugs are going to hit the public hard with the fear motif. The effect with both the media and segments of the public is going to be if the Dems can't even get it up to take the fight to the Republicans, how they gonna control the Ter'ists? Democratic weakness in the election process plays directly into GOP hands. And the media hates them because they want a fight so they can respect "strength" and "robustness."

[Read more letters about this article: Here]that ad with a woman's legs kicking as the rest of her body is inside a man's mouth might be construed...
I thought it had something to do with our lengthy discussion of asshat. You know, as in I'll eat my hat.

[Read the article: The GOP's cheerful viciousness]
[Read more letters about this article: Here](RMP was that you?), but since the campaign is now in full swing and we've attracted so many lively new trolls, this is for all of you. It proves that Sweet Barack (Al)Obama is actually a Communist Agent, completely unprepared to fight the New Cold War with Russia!

That Freethrow Guy
[Read the article: The government, the media and Afghanistan]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well, the left has blessed war in Afghanistan, even Glenn. Welcome to the real world..
Thanks for the giggle, Shoots. I consider myself a person of the Moderate Left. This group contains neither Glenn (a moral libertarian) nor Obama (a centrist). I believe that if the Dems win in November our foreign policy will change from one which enhances the interests of Bibi Netanyahu - Neocon destruction/occupation of Iraq/Iran, to one which follows the plans of Osama bin Laden - bogging us down in never-ending hatred-generating futile state-building conflict in Afghanistan/Pakistan (not to mention follies with Russia either way). Not much to choose from there.
Fortunately, the lipstick-smeared domestic kulturkampf launched by your party has energized us on the left as well as your pals. But Shooter, come on, do us a favor. Drop the idiotic pretense that you're voting for Obama. It will make it more fun for us to go to the polls.
PS Bamage: thanks. Sorry about the link.

You know it and I know it, but Shooter, see Shooter just plans to experience for himself the ecstasies of the Bradley Effect.

@GG
[Read the article: Time's Karen Tumulty: Unlike reporters, bloggers don't have to use proof]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]you were voicing the very common claim that bloggers don't hold themselves to the same high standards as journalists do
Of course you're right, Glenn. But behind Karen Tumulty's claim (which is incoherent on it's face), may well be resentment not that bloggers don't hold themselves, but rather are not held to the same high standards... In other words, she's pissed that you don't have the editorial and corporate bosses that she does to reign you in and keep you to the corporate line. You are able to develop your ideas wherever you want them to go, but she can't develop hers. And she is not allowed even say that, so instead forwards her ridiculous evidence claims.

Those radical socialist Republicans
[Read the article: What does Sarah Palin have to hide in her Yahoo e-mails?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have always been impressed with the similarity between this modern Republican chestnut:
'That's not the way the world really works anymore.'' ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''
and Karl Marx's most representative statement, the Eleventh Thesis on Feuerbach, which is carved on his headstone at Highgate cemetery in London:
Philosophers have heretofore only interpreted the world in various ways. The point is, however, to change it.

@Whispers
[Read the article: The complete (though ever-changing) elite consensus over the financial collapse]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A lot of people who favor the bail-outs talk, correctly mind you, about the bad things that will happen if the institutions are "allowed to fail".
This debate is eerily similar to the one about the necessity of inditing Bush officials for Constitutional violations:
Accountability = wild-card effects.
No accountability = guarantee that offenses/problems will occur again.
Once you're in deep do-do, things stink!

predictive rather than prescriptive?
[Read the article: David Brooks thinks he sees a "new establishment" to run economic policy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Brooks is an agent of the right. His comments are on a continuum with yesterday's right-wingers. He's scared of Obama's getting the money. But unlike yesterday's folks, that does not make him hesitate about the desirability of our coughing up the money. He wants his pals to get the money. He's trying to set up a "new paradigm" where the Obama administration gets separated from decision making about what to do with the bucks. This is Brooks' prescriptive wishful thinking.
