I don't owe Hillary Clinton, or her supporters shit. She came close to causing huge problems for the party during this election, and she stoked some of the same resentment and fear that McCain and Plain did... She also led her supporters on at the end by making them believe that she still had some chance of winning.
And really, I'm sorry if you can't live with the reality, but Obama won all by himself... he is a big boy after all.
I am horrified at the hate being spewed at Jews in the comments on this site. I guess Jews are the new whipping boy of the extreme left.
This is no different than the baseless hatred of Arabs / Muslims on the right - and it has no place in our civil discourse.
Did you really have to comment on how much you hate Jews in the thread for a movie review? If you are going that far out of your way to denigrate others, maybe you should look in the mirror.
I guess we should not learn from history should we - we should just forget the Holocaust ever happened. That way, when it happens again (to any race or religion) we can act shocked and pretend we never did it before.
Sad.
I am not assuming that they are part of the extreme left, but it has become quite fashionable of late to blame Jews for the worlds ills - and that everything would work itself out if the Jews would just "get over" the Holocaust and "give back" the land they "stole" (but were actually given by the U.N.)
I do not always agree with the actions of Israel and I do not equate Israel with all Jews. But many people seem to believe that there is some global "we" of Jews and that we all defend Israel all the time. Fact is, it's just an updated version of the BS about Jews controlling the media, Jews, running the goverment / world... etc... I can tell you I am a lefty - and I get this crap all the time from people who don't realize I am part Jewish.
And yes - the ISRAELIs do have the right to defend themselves from suicide bombers, people who shoot babies in baby carriages and pregnant women - it does not mean I always agree with the methods they use to defend themselves. But let's face it, the "government" in Palestine or "Hamas" has the stated goal of the Destruction of the state of Israel and all it's people. So I don't think the two sides deserve the same benefit of the doubt.
Everybody get their panties in a twist already....
Give me a break - anybody who is whining about this without really knowing what happened is just asking to be made a fool of...
Can we at least wait until we have some confirmed misdeeds from the new POTUS before we declare him a war criminal? Jeez - we at least gave the last Moron in chief until Iraq... I'd say Obama deserves just a tad more benefit of the doubt than a guy who could not even string together a complete sentence.
I second your Ha!
And see you a hardy BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
...has political capital, and he intends to spend it!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
They can call it Palin / Corpse 2012!
Real Conservatives and Republicans have known what they stand for since the beginning and it has not changed.
They stand for greed, lack of progress, fascism, lack of responsibility towards ones neighbor, worship of business at the expense of all else, religious righteousness to win elections etc... etc...
The young conservatives who think they can change their party better watch out - otherwise Rush Limbaugh and Hannity will be showing up at their doorstep to take their college republican membership cards back...
Why don't you go ask Grover Norquist what conservatism is?
Is largely responsible for continued control of the media by wingers... and the willful ignorance of the populace. They want another "Daddy" figure to tell off the gays, and the lib-ruuls and whatnot. And to protect them from the eeeeevil A-rabs.
What most don't realize is just how responsible Reagan is for the atmosphere of greed that led directly to the economic problems we are having today. And for the totally out of control spending on the military that forces us to "use" it every once in a while so we don't waste all that money.
Reagan's ghost is still helping to destroy this country. Hope the GOP is happy with what they have left when it's over.
All this over tax issues with these folks? Hey, at least they never lied us into war, or totally ruined the economy etc...
Maybe the tax issues don't come up because THEY HAVE NO BEARING ON THE ABILITY TO DO THE JOB!
I'd love to see what Bush's taxes look like. Or Mr. Rove.
Maybe Richard Williamson has a job for you?
Most of my family was murdered in the non-existent gas chambers you smug A**hole.
None of the items you cite disprove the fact that the German state attempted to extinguish the entire population of Jews, Gypsy, Gays, and feeble or disabled as a matter of POLICY, not as actions needed to prevent the world from coming under the control of an evil dictator.
You are an unforgivable maggot... Sorry had to be said.
I guess my relatives... eyewitness to the horrors of the holocaust... are all liars. Including the few that survived the camps themselves.
You should dig a hole... and get in.
... pay this jackass to speak anywhere? Why even pay him any mind at all? He's been wrong about just about everything thus far - he's not going to start talking sense now.
