The President and Mr. Gibbs are doing their job, trying to keep divisiveness out of the equation, even if they both know it's to be true. This is the tight rope of race in America for people of color - damned if you do and damned if you don't. I believe Obama and his staff clearly know this is a no-win situation.

Despite this, former President Carter is right. I mean come on, he's a Southern talking about something the South knows very well - race and racism.

Both are correct in how they have to play this thing. Separate truths from the same reality.

The positive is that the cat is out of the bag. The media is aware of it and scumbags like Addison Graves Wilson (aka Joe), Limbaugh and Beck have been exposed hate-monger RACISTS and so have their followers. Racism will get no traction, only rile up the base, a shrinking and increasing fucked up GOP base.

Ultimately America will get this right and deny these modern day KKK types their hate.

And she's absolutely no fun at all.

Narrow sense of humor/expression, so-so smart, very pretty and sexy yet boring and bland.

Soderbergh made an indie film and O'Hehir gave an indie review. In both cases it's up to you to decide how it works. To me it sounds like an entertaining odd comedy with some pacing.

The Dems and anyone one left of the GOP and right wingers should encourage the GOP to keep talking because ultimately then end up eating their own shit and dying. Michelle Bachman, Addison Graves Wilson (aka Joe) and now Blount..they will bury the Party of No (aka the Party of Hate).

It's true and Darren Hutchinson nails it.

The Party of No = The Party of Fear = The Party of Hate

White conservatives playing the race card riles up their base (like wearing white hoods and burning a cross) and makes the moderate and liberals react.

Might not work this time. People have not forgotten 8 years of George W. Bush.

Those are average sizes.

The preference for size zero models is pretty simple to understand -- it's easier to use super skinny women to make your designs look good. Think of the super skinny model as a walking mannequins.

Designing clothes for real people takes real skill and talent. Super skinny models are there because of laziness and designers inability to deal with natural and organic lines.

Sure the extreme wingnuts hijacked the neo-con agenda but you can't ignore the fact that neo-cons not only opened the door but set the table and invited the so-called hard right (is there a difference?) into the big tent, for reasons of power, numbers and positioning.

Now that the country is fucked up from free market baloney (i.e., deregulation, looting, greed) and neo-con instigated aggression and war that has killed 100s of thousands...NOW you assholes have the gall to say it's not you, just the fuckheads you assisted?

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

For god sake -- man up and take personal responsibility (a conservative mainstay) for the shit you've created. Rationalizing after the fact is for pussies and the morally bankrupt.

Of course nothing like personal responsibility will occur, just excuses and rationalizations like this article. I hope you conservatives (neo, hard, whatever) burn in a Jesus approved hell for the pain and suffer you have put on the earth.

That's what it sounds like to me. He's gone back to the Dems, let them make changes so they're on board, and then he crams the bill down the GOP's throat with 60 locked-in votes.

If that's what Max is doing, I'll forgive him...if there's a public option in there.

Gotta love Garrison Keillor. Funny, direct with a twist of old school genteel ass kicking!

Race is just another signifier and target.

The GOP HATED Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry just as much and with the same level of passion. The thing is, Barack Obama as an African American, just brings out an old hate that gets the Southern GOP'er going in a special way.

IF there's any good to this is the majority of the country isn't behind this and it's going to bury the GOP...and shorten their lives. That kind of rage is clearly unhealthy which might explain the GOP hate for modern day, industrialized society standards of health care...they're going to die early any way.

The GOP - the Party of No - the Party of Hate

Jesus H. Puritanical Bullshit, so people (women and men) like a drink or two before hitting the sheets. LIKE DUH. It's been like that since the beginning of time.

I mean hell, people like a snort while watching TV, while gardening, while playing with their train set. Why should a snort of booze before sex be any different? Because it's sex? Stop it.

That's right, these ass hats deserve the public's contempt and disrespect. I mean WTF are they idiots doing? Bunch of ball-less, good for nothing cowards.

ESAD

No, make that poo-covered elephant ball sucking GOPs that Max jacks off with vigor and lust.

God damn, isn't it time to bring the U.S. into the 20th century in terms of health care? (I would have said the 21st century but clearly that's asking too much of these ass hats.)

I mean really, isn't this what things are about -- the health care industry (insurance, pharma, etc.) are making ungodly BUTTLOADS OF MONEY off the backwards U.S. system? This is why these blood-suckers are so opposed to reform, because it will cost them.

Profiteering off health, life and death is a pretty sleazy way to make a buck but then sleazy is the operative word for these assholes.

Kick the profit motive and the jackals who run the U.S. healthcare "industry" to the curb and stomp on them.
