  • This Instapunk guy

    [Read the article: One of Instapundit's favorite blogs speaks on race]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    He sticks his foot in the door for attention by starting out like he's some kind of smart assed Lenny Bruce, and then layer by gradual layer, he lays out the aganda of the other, that he would wish you out in the blogoshere, to share in his enthusiasm of otherizing. And what's this? Islam is the new nigger? What's next years nigger, and do I wanna know?

    The deeper you go, the deeper the shit you dig yourself into. Bury your B.S. in the backyard and be done with it. You split so many hairs you should be bald by now.

    Maybe if we get the Clintons again we can bomb another Sudaneese pharmaceticals factory, when we really should have been looking for bin-Laden's hiding hole. The truth gets deeper...

    That a giant storm comprised of shit would fall on all of those assholes on the photo at the front of this article. Those folks aren't the kind of wildlife I'd like to watch on T.V., those are the kind of people I would enjoy watching fall into the jaws of death.

    There's always more punditry than just straight reporting. The word pundit is an Indian word derived from Sanskrit, which is meant to mean a learned person. I don't know how learned most of our pundits are, most of them seem to be more prejudiced and selfinvolved than actually learned and objective about anything much. They seem to be selfish swamis who have their very own crystal ball ambitions, to fulfill and foresee whatever interests and agendas are attractive to them personally.

    The wright controversy as rewritten by the carnival barkers of the republican three ring circus, is like a sleazed sideshow of pin the tail on the nigga preacher.

    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    9/11 didn't happen because some American politicians were just doing some serious jaywalking in the middle east, and if it makes some people uncomfortable to hear that pointed out, then I pity the "patriotic" fools, and they sould be uncomfortable at just how ignorant they really are.

    Lots of Americans think that King was just always a docile and domesticated "house negro." He wasn't, he spoke some plain truth that plenty of people didn't want to hear.

  • Poor Rev. Wright

    [Read the article: Moving beyond Obama and race]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If only he'd stayed a silently satisfied house negro, and not talked about the dirty dealings of chickenhawks coming back home to roost, raining hell down on all of us. I hear ya Rev. Wright, but most of America seems to have heard all of some three seconds of your sermon, and have signed, sealed, and sent in their verdict, without seeing the broader scope of anything you said.

    The put-on patriots are. And they're havin' a harder time than ever before for putting on their case.

    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    ...a laxative to the people, rather than an opiate, because it is clear that many of the people are still more full of fuckin' shit than I'd figured they'd be after five years of war in Iraq.

    [Read the article: Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Passing puffed up pride in place of true patriotism is what landed many myopic Americans this endless war in Iraq. Pride is what preceeds the fall, and patriotism is a sense of national purpose, that binds us all. An Excess of ugly pride ain't no substitute true love of one's country.

    ...is some of the hollowest hubris ever. Her patroitic mission to risk life and limb in the Balkans has been proven to be a baldfaced lie. Put-on patriots can't put-on the people forever. She has shit all over her face for this fabrication of the true facts.
