If you would like to join us in defending General Clark against the so-called "swiftboating" charges against him, VoteVets has a very well written petition illustrating WHY Clark was right to question McCain's judgment:

Also included a direct link in my signature. Thanks.
We've all been had. Joan isn't actually gullible enough to believe the crap she's writing. She's trying to drum up site hits by writing the most disingenuous story she could think of. Judging from the 900 replies this turd has generated so far, I'd say she accomplished her goal.
You are becoming an embarrassment to journalism. I recommend you and all your deadender cohorts stop cosigning Hillary's suggestion that she "has" 18 million voters in her pocket long enough to get therapy, and fast. I recommend you read Hillary Rosen's piece, appropriately titled "I Am Not A Bargaining Chip, I Am A Democrat" immediately while there's still time to recover your sanity.
....the last time Ozzie put the team on blast like this the organization closed ranks around him, defended him against Mariotti and they made their amazing World Series run. Three years later, Oz makes a similar rant and Kenny Williams gives him the Frank Thomas treatment. The familiar Reinsdorf-isms are starting to take hold in the same way they did when the Bulls - Reinsdork's other team - went on their championship tear: the people at the top begin to think THEY ALONE are the ones responsible for the team's success. So what if its a Chicago legend like Ozzie Guillen. Or Frank Thomas. Or Michael Jordan. They aren't the ones who led the teams to victory, the front office was. Suddenly, Kenny morphs into Jerry "no neck" Krause. Surprised? I'm not.
All your shameless shilling for the Clintons is starting to pay off. Congratulations.
I really wish I had time to sift through 100's of pages of replies to this embarrassing article. The first few pages of comments, although quite hilarious, don't speak too highly of you. I do want to voice my sadness at how women journalists at Salon have helped set women's causes back at least 40 years with their whining, bickering, finger pointing and blatant selfishness by using their media perches to actively campaign for the female candidate. You have shamelessly attacked Hillary's male opponents for months because they dared stand against her, and now that she is days from finally being counted out you accuse everyone else of sexism and "Clinton bashing." Anyone who attempts to disagree with these myopic efforts is attacked for being a misogynist or an Obama worshipper. Ladies, please. Stop embarrassing yourselves. What's next, banishing us all to sleep on the couch if you don't get your way?
While doing my diary in Daily Kos today I was trying to come up with something to inspire the Edwards and Obama supporters. (I hope it inspires the Clinton supporters, too, but I can't really say I know WHAT inspires them anymore.) I came up with a catchy new song to describe this 2008 primary season:
(sung to the tune of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious")
BitterSweetiePlagiaristicFlagPinAyresWrightGate
Talking heads on TV spewing things they think you might hate
While we fight to stop the men who made us a police state
BitterSweetiePlagiaristicFlagPinAyresWrightGate!!!
I know Glen Greenwald will love it.
was when they finally got to a real issue - the economy - after an hour of smear questions, George Quacklikeaduckalos had the nerve to say that "this is the most important issue to Americans right now."
Huh?
We are definitely ready for people to stop comparing sexism and racism as if there's some kind of pecking order to discrimination. If journalists want to lament the sexism in America, then have at it. But, constantly trying to compare the two as if we should choose one or the other trivializes both issues and makes us look petty.
is that emanating from the charred bodies of the burned and disfigured in Iraq. Let's focus on eradicating those, shall we?
I am starting to believe that Mr. Tapper and Mr. Koppelman are trying to exhaust their unused "April Fools!" jokes.
I have never smoked. I cannot stand cigarette smoke. But, I would rather elect an admitted former smoker than a compulsive liar or some senile old coot.
We need issues, Alex, not self-righteousness. And I actually LIKE your posts most of the time.
There are probably 20-25% of Americans who still think the moon landing was a hoax. Probably even more believe in extraterrestrials that anal probe humans and dissect cows. When did the lunatic fringe become the voice of the electorate?
Hmmmm. I seem to remember another candidate doing that a few weeks ago in his hometown, except instead of trying to smear his opponent he let the reporters ask all the questions they wanted to ask about him.
He did it twice, for over two hours worth of interviewing.
By the way. Reports surfaced late last night about Clinton's campaign manager being director of of the poster child for subprime ending.

Bon appetit!
"he main thing to know is liberals LOVE to lose. They roll in it like pigs in shit. Look at Moveon.Nutz - they've spent 6 years and probably 50 million dollars and the results are every candiate they back loses."
----------------------------------------
Maybe YOU should look at MoveOn. They are there to elect congressional candidates at the state and national level, they only dabble in presidential politics every 4 years. While you're trying to pontificate about how inept they are I suggest you look back to see how many they supported in the 2006 races and how many actually won.
As for the rest of your post? Well, I won't waste time with it other than to say its nice to no that no racist sentiments exist in the Clinton camp. Nope. Not one bit.
