  • Sugarman: Give it up

    [Read the article: Ahmadinejad, big man on campus]

    Grow a shift key and learn what a paragraph is.

    Are you REALLY trying to paint with the "anti-Semite" brush again? Or "anti-Khazar" brush?

    No, sorry, I don't hate Jews. But I recognize that Zionists have a bizarre amount of influence over US foreign policy and that US politicians, spineless organisms that they are, seem to have forgotten that Israel is a foreign country.

    Bollinger's insulting introduction of Ahmadinejad was a disgrace, as was the US contingent's walking out of his address Tuesday at the UN. That's not any way to conduct a dialogue.

    Witness the media hysteria surrounding the visit of Ahmadinejad. Should he even be allowed to speak? No! Of course not! Now THAT'S how to prevail in an argument -- keep it from taking place! Not that Zionists have any undue influence over US media, of course...

  • Kyl-Lieberman passed 76-22. Thanks, Democrats!

    [Read the article: The week so far]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Kyl-Lieberman was a de facto declaration of war on Iran. Half the Democrats in the Senate, OVER half of them, voted for it. Is this a bad acid trip? Am I dreaming that the US has gone insane? No, I seem to be sober and awake.

    I guess I ought to be satisfied that I'm alive while history is being made. Someday historians will marvel at the misdeeds of Bush43 and the useless, spineless Congressional slugs who have given him the green light to drag the world into a global war.

    "Why, yes, I think it could be very easily done!"

  • What, no more Table Talk?

    It's the best part of Salon. IMHO.

    I like Gravel and on the GOP side Ron Paul. Kucinich blew it with his gun control idea earlier this year. The rest of them don't appear on the radar at all. They may as well be cardboard cut outs.

    The underreported story of Israel's raid on Syria and the deaths of the crewmen who were near the nuclear-tipped missiles being transported on a B-52 is an interesting one. But it's being kept on the fringes, left for conspiracy fans to try and piece together. So far it looks like Israel is planning on sucker-punching Syria while the US stages an air war against Iran. I'd like to be wrong about that.

  • It was nice of L. Paul Bremer to grant them immunity from prosecution

    [Read the article: Waxman takes a shot at Blackwater]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Nice and tidy.

  • They have interesting ties to hard-core born-again Christianity

    [Read the article: The dark truth about Blackwater]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    As well as the usual GOP ties. I've read of more than one US Army member stating that "we're just here to protect Blackwater."

    It was nice of L. Paul Bremer to grant Blackwater immunity from prosecution for their crimes in Iraq. Very tidy.

  • GOP tweaking primary voting rules to prevent Democrats from voting for Paul

    [Read the article: Rudy, Mitt, Fred or John]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Rudy, Mitt, Fred or John? No, thank you. I'm interested in seeing Ron Paul elected President.

    For some peculiar reason the MSM hasn't reported on Paul's having won every straw poll since Iowa. Kind of like the recent 161-count IRS case being defeated -- not a word in the mainstream media.

    Giuliani is a psycho, Mitt is a Mormon (Do. Not. Want.), Fred is an actor impersonating a candidate and McCain is a brittle psycho. Whom are we kidding?

    I'll take the gadfly. I'll continue to contribute money to the gadfly. I'm impressed that his positions are based on the Constitution. I feel that Ron Paul is the only candidate that offers so much as a glimmer of hope for the US.

    That said, I fully expect him to be assassinated by a "lone nut" or die in a small plane crash, et cetera, the usual.

    A "gadfly," Mr. Shapiro? Paul's positions seem to be earning him solid support. What, exactly, is so funny about his positions to you?

  • Abe Foxman is in the same basket with

    [Read the article: The ADL purports to respond again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. They have a certain entertainment value. But they are not to be taken seriously.

  • Will they roll over again?

    [Read the article: What FISA capitulations are Democrats planning next?]

    Will the sun rise in the east?

    Feinstein ought to resign in shame immediately.

  • Duncan Hunter: American Hero

    [Read the article: What you missed while watching "Oprah"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Nah, just kidding. What is he doing there? What is Brownback doing there? Banking on the loony-shell-shocked vote?

  • Does anyone recollect

    [Read the article: Has world oil production already peaked?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    How Bush41 gave Carter bad intel regarding the USSR's alleged oil grab back in the late 70s? Was that not also based on "peak oil"? Like "global warming," it seems like a scam to influence political decisions and rationalize unpopular or unwise diplomatic decisions.

    If the US government were to spend half of what we're pissing away on our illegal occupation of Iraq on solar power research and development... oh, wait, solar can NEVER, EVER provide any meaningful amount of energy. Because oil companies can't build a fucking pipeline to the sun.

  • Wake up

    [Read the article: Ask the pilot]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It's not about security, it's about fear and control -- why do you accept it? Refuse to fly. Period. "I can't make it there. I don't fly due to TSA assholery." Bankrupt the airlines.

    This absurd security/martial law indoctrination hinges on the bullshit official story of 9/11/01. Arab terrorists with box cutters? Whom are we kidding?

    Flat-out refuse to fly. Whining about the New Gestapo "security" measures is pointless. Refuse to fly.

  • Pan Am 103

    [Read the article: Ask the pilot]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Featured a brown Samsonite suitcase which got itself on board each Wednesday @ Frankfurt loaded with heroin. That fateful Wednesday it carried a bomb -- Pam Am 103 had a group of CIA agents investigating the suitcase's travels. But this is far from MSM-approved content. It was, uh, Libyan terrorists. Of course.

  • Hill is a Centrist? What are you on?

    [Read the article: How Hillary could tank]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Kudos to the writer who mentioned the activites at the Mena AK airport -- Bill Clinton was tossed the Presidency like you'd toss a dog a bone. Cocaine and arms shipments are the basis of an invisible economy. Hillary is thoroughly tainted. Through and through. That's on top of being completely despicable. NO integrity whatsoever.

    Did she vote to invade Iraq? Has she routinely rolled over whenever Bush43 has issued the command to do so?

    She's a loathsome individual who inspires hatred and her loyalties are, at best, "divided". I'd sooner vote for Cheney than Hillary. He has more integrity.

    Hillary Clinton cannot be trusted and you're insane if you think that she has any chance whatsoever of being elected, even with the help of the magic Diebold e-voting machines.

  • Half a million for "web site development"?

    [Read the article: Ron Paul, sitting prettier than McCain]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    >$585,000 owed to a Web site development company

    Does this include money for trolls to slander Ron Paul on comments sections of news sites?
