From the very beginning there has been use of faulty logic and slights against Obama at Salon. The biggest fallacy is that because he did not carry a state in a Democratic Primary, he will not carry it in the General Election.

Publishing allegations such as Obama is not campaigning in rural America or attempting to win their votes is patently false. Also tying the behavior of a vocal minority of his supporters to the candidate as if it were his position is fallacious.

If the staff of this publication wants a Democratic win in November, rather than smugly claiming "We told you so", there needs to be better editorial control over the dispersions, false conclusions and innuendo. Perhaps a house cleaning would be in order from the top down.

A predominately Republican court makes this ruling just in time for GOP drum beating for the 2008 election. Coincidence? I don't think so.

When President McCain bombs Iran and gas prices at the pump triple, "that's just the way it is". You asked for it, you deserve it.

When the occupation of Iraq turns into the shooting war with Iran, "that's just the way it is". You asked for it, you deserve it.

When Roe v Wade is struck down by a McCain court, "that's just the way it is". You asked for it, you deserve it.

The only problem is the rest of us don't deserve it. Your reaction to the matter is callous, self-righteous and ignorant beyond belief.

The title says it all.

I don't know which is sadder, that the party is practicing self immolation again or that a good percentage cannot recognize that there is no difference between McCain and Clinton based upon their records and associations with Right Wing extremists. It is obvious this segment are strictly cult of personality voters.

As Machiavelli noted in The Discourses, it is easy to to deceive people if you stick to generalities, but difficult if you focus on particulars.

It's become pretty obvious that it is the NeoCon school of thought which the media prefers, not just the Republicans. The Janus-headed figure of McCain-Clinton looms large in their esteem because they are two peas in a pod. Just look at Senator Clinton's statement on Bill O'Reily's show, "Rich people, God Bless us."

If they have a NeoCon Democrat vs NeoCon Republican matchup in the general election they will be as happy as the proverbial pigs in shit. If Clinton runs against McCain, the Right Wing extremists who own the MSM win either way.

"testicular fortitude" - I thought steroid use was illegal.

The price of gas at the pump has nothing to do with the economy. Free market economics has as little influence on the oil industry as does fairy dust. So her first answer was either a lie or she is very ignorant.

It has become glaringly obvious that McCain-Clinton are simply two sides of one extremely rotten coin. Both are "more of the same" GW Bush policy perpetuators. The only difference is one is pretending to be a Democrat. Clinton actually has some poor, gullible souls believing she's a Liberal.

Up next: John Hagee, Ron Parsley, Bill Donahue & Abraham Foxman!

My wife is Jewish. Her family and all their friends make it a point to disassociate themselves from Bill Kristol and his brand of Americanism. I'm sure they would feel the same about his brand of when it suits him Judaism.

If Senator Clinton is so budget minded, why not announce her campaign has paid all its bills? It wouldn't be true, but it might fool enough people to let her squeak by and keep McCain's poll numbers up with her antics.

These people should just go away. We should have washed our hands of both of them after Bill was disbarred in his plea bargain to escape perjury charges after lying to Congress.

No one REALLY expected Bush to have a plan did they? He never had a plan before beyond plundering the treasury for his cronies. He was the first commander in history to go to war without a plan. Did anyone actually believe he had a plan to catch Osama bin Laden? Come on... Nobody is that dumb.

The is the best article which I have read in Salon in months. Well done, Gary!

Bill Kristol is living proof that someone can always be wrong, 100% of the time, and still profit from it, if it fits into the "what to kiss and when" paradigm.

It's hard not to be filled with glee and mirth when you have an opportunity to ridicule the most corrupt politician of your lifetime, AKA Hillary Clinton, NAFTA Queen, union buster for Rose Law, WalMart board member, friend of Rupert Murdoch, enabler of GW Bush and his Iraqi invasion and pin-up girl of lobbyists everywhere.

The scorn is so deserved that it just makes you feel good all over to be able to participate. That doesn't even take into account the bonus prize of bashing that traitor to the working class American she married. Bill is the disgrace of our age which helped to usher in Bush, not only with his philandering and perjury but also by not supporting Al Gore or John Kerry.

The Clintons make the Bush family appear upright and virtuous by comparison. Just how craven do you have to be to merit that judgement?

I'm sorry you had a working class Irish Catholic upbringing, mine wasn't privileged either. However that was half a century ago, please get over it and move on.
