Shouldn't you people be screeching and frothing over at No Quarter or Taylor Marsh instead of turning the Salon letters section into the clusterfuck of the century?

I don't care that you hate Obama. I don't care who you vote for, or why. I don't even care if you want to make sweet, sweet love with John McCain. I just don't want to hear about it anymore. Go gnash your teeth and rend your garments somewhere else.

It's because of people like you that we can't have nice things.

I don't know why anyone is bothering to respond to these PUMA wackos. They don't want a debate, they just want to screech and froth and make an unholy mess of the Salon letters section. Most of them have wandered over here from Taylor Marsh or No Quarter, where they spent the entire primary season making sleazy and scurrilous comments about Senator Obama and anyone who supports him. In fact, I recognize many of these names from Taylor Marsh's sad little blog, where I occasionally lurk for the comedy value. I guarantee most of them will not be coming back here once this article fades away. File that in the "thank God" department.

Now that they've had their fun pooping all over Salon's doorstep, they'll go back to rending their garments and praying with all their might that the Michelle Obama "Whitey" tape finally surfaces, at which time, presumably, Hillary will ride to the rescue and save us all from ourselves. Or McCain. Or something. I honestly can't figure them out. They just radiate crazy like heat off a pot-bellied stove.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are not a Republican troll, but that's all you'll get from me. You and the rest of the PUMAs are truly the flat-earth believers of the Democratic party, and I couldn't be happier to see you leave.

I've read the comments by your scummy ilk on No Quarter and it's like, and whatever you are, you are no Democrats. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say. Why you ever supported Hillary Clinton, other than out of some demented sense of feminist entitlement, I'll never understand. If you people were not so insignificant, I'd be seriously tempted to put on man-drag out of sheer embarrassment.

I've been a paying customer at this site for years, but until this week have never written a letter. I don't pay good money to read drivel I can look at on Taylor Marsh or Hillaryis44 for free. Hillary Clinton is no longer in the race. Can we please stop talking about her now? Is it too much to ask that Salon stop posting these useless troll-baiting articles? What's next? Articles catering to people who believe in lake monsters and the Mothman?

Sorry NO Obama, that second paragraph was not exactly directed at you, but would you mind going back to one the many lame-ass Obama hating echo chambers? There is enough PUMA shit in Salon's backyard already.

Begging your pardon ma'am, but you are an obnoxious busybody. If even one of your countless letters contained an ounce of sense, I might be tempted to engage you, but alas, you radiate crazy like heat off a pot-bellied stove.

I suppose Irish politics must be incredibly dull, based on the fact that you stalk these forums like a hyena, poised at any given moment to cite a historical or literary reference, a propos of nothing. I know you are striving to seem like the smartest person in the room, but the fact that you got a fairly standard education is not particularly impressive to anyone.

I would normally welcome anyone from any part of the world to join in the conversation about American politics, but in your case Maureen, I will make an exception. Mind your own damned business and stay out of our family affairs. I speak only for myself here, of course, but I'd appreciate it if you kept your inane conversations about wigs and hair plugs to yourself, and would cease trying to "educate" Americans about nonsense that is only of interest to you and your imaginary friends.

Just keep rambling on about wigs and hair plugs and the transgressions of long-dead members of the Kennedy family. If you want to get some digs in at Teddy, go right ahead, but unfortunately for you, "time" has already been called on this scandal. It was tragic and unforgivable, but most of us have moved on. I do thank you for your condescending attempts to educate the grubby masses of benighted Americans on the whys and wherefores of the thing, but as usual, you are made of epic FAIL.

I don't expect any response, but if I do get one, can you please make lots and lots of literary reference with absolutely no relation to the subject at hand? Because that's what we all tune in for Maureen, to see what stream-of-consciousness drivel you'll cook up next. Personally, I'm hoping to hear more about wigs! WIGS! FTW!!

Bill Clinton is a hard act to follow, but I think Joe Biden did a fine job. I was a little disappointed though that he didn't call Obama "Barack America." I TOTALLY want to vote for Barack America!

Seriously though, I thought the speech was great and the introduction from his son was terrific.

That would be the appropriate headline here!

I'm speechless. What's next? Are we going to read that the father of the child is a Sasquatch?
