NeoCon vs NeoCon
[Read the article: The media, the right and 1988: Endless deja vu]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.

Bush II - Return of the NeoCons
[Read the article: The endless Democratic party]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.

"that's just the way it is"
[Read the article: Will gay marriage doom the Democrats?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.

Is Salon supporting McCain?
[Read the article: A great debate about Obama and Appalachia]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]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.
