Original article: Shame

No Collective Guit Please

For years I have worked to "Throw the Bums Out." I spent many hours working on the 2000 presidential election and the 2004 presidential election. I marched against the Iraq terrorist attack by America EVERY chance I got. I have been working against this administration faithfully and constantly. I cry for the Iraqis who were the victims of a terrorist attack by the Bush administration. I'll cry until the day I die. I have a husband, children and grandchildren who are good and decent people and who are appalled by what Bush and company have done in the name of America.

BUT I WON'T APOLOGIZE BECAUSE GEORGE AND BARBARA BUSH WERE ROTTEN PARENTS. I do not believe in collective guilt and I am not responsible for that sociopath election thief and his band of thieves, liars and mass murderers. How could I feel responsible when I did everything I could to see that he was not elected (AND HE WAS NOT ELECTED!) and to prevent this awful war from being waged for power-hungry lunatics like Cheney, Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, ad nauseum and for greedy American corporate interests? As I said, I'll never stop crying about the war and I am certain that those maniacs will NEVER START CRYING about the war. But I won't take the blame. That belongs to Bush and his minions... or should I say Cheney and his minions including Bush!

"Al Gore invented the internet."

The reason we emailers send instant letters is to TRY to keep you in the media honest. For example, Al Gore NEVER said he invented the internet. On the other hand, he was highly involved in making it readily available. SO WHY DO YOU CONTINUE THE VICIOUS, CHILDISH REPUBLICANS' LIE FOR THEM?

GERGEN WAS ALWAYS A FOGGY FOOL!

The muddle-headed fellow has never had a logical thought in his life. Why should now be different? He's the King of Denial!

TO NATTY BUMPO

So it's not a "scandal!" Well, Natty... what would you tell those who lost loved ones because of Bush's terrorist attack on a country that did us no harm? Would you tell them to "get over it?" The party that went crazy over a sexual affair ... although your party seems to have more than it's share of those ... seems to think mass murder of innocent people is to be "gotten over." Would you get over it as easily as you suggest victims should "get over it?" Would you call lies to start an unnecessary, profoundly damaging war a "political difference of opinion?"

George W.'s selective sympathy

W is a hypocrite. He has no real feelings of compassion so he has to rustle up the ones he displays occasionally from his limited acting ability. He learned well at his mommy's knee. Remember how she said the victims of Katrina were lucky!

Scooter will never be free.

Scooter Libby will be in a prison of his own making for the rest of his life. Where is he going to go in public that's safe for him considering that his lies have helped enable the murder and maiming of many thousand people? Furthermore, Bush just did the Democratic party a huge favor. I don't know how many votes this will lose for Republicans but I'd be willing to bet it's a large number.

Schumer is ridiculous

I'm through giving money and support to any senatorial candidate that Schumer recommends. His judgement stinks! We expect Feinstein to be befuddled but Schumer is a traitor.

CNN is Faux is MSNBC ad nauseum....

It's all for the buck! Wolf is the perfect creature to propagandize while pretending to make serious news.... right down to the perfect little beard!

Kate Michelman

I am disgusted with Kate Michelman. She chooses the Wizard of Oz Obama who frequently chose to vote "present" in the IL legislature because he didn't have the courage to take a controversial stand. Paul Krugmann has shown us how useless Obama's health care plan is. Obama is a wonderful orator.... PERIOD! He scares me almost as much as George Bush because they both lack substance.

MSNBC a NO-NO for me

I have stopped watching MSNBC completely. Even Keith Olbermann has lost my confidence since he is so unfairly biased against Senator Hillary Clinton. If I can't trust Keith, whom on MSNBC can I trust? Certainly not Tweety Matthews since he lost all credibility ages ago. Certainly not Shuster, who has proved himself over and over to be a misogynist. Certainly not Joe Scarborough, who is so childishly biased I could never listen to him. Certainly not Tucker Carlson, the village idiot who has the job because of his daddy (sort of like GWB). But now Keith is coming closer to those others than I could ever have believed. One might just as well watch Bull O'Lielly as watch MSNBC now.

Original article: No Hail Mary for Hillary

Grouchy Hillary???

Another good old American white boy has spoken! Mike Madden is just another run-of-the-mill misogynist.

Obama's Anti-American Cronies

Obama's pastor asks God to damn America. Obama's privileged wife says that she is proud of America for the first time ever even though America has made her a successful, wealthy woman. Is this what we want in the White House?

Slick Barack

Obama is too slick in many ways. I'll NEVER vote for him because of his baloney that he could attract Hillary's supporters to vote for him but she won't attract his supporters. Does he support the Democratic party or doesn't he? And then miserable Michelle said she couldn't support Hillary. Well, Michelle, I can't support Barack so this is one Hillary supporter about whom Barack was wrong.

Barack Obama

Barack looks exhausted and he hasn't even gotten through the primaries. Where is the young man going to get the energy for the general election? Old man McCain doesn't look as tired as Obama does.

Obama's exceedingly familiar justifications for escalation

The "new" approach to Afghanistan touted by White House officials seems quite old

The crazy, irrational beliefs of Muslims

Tom Friedman explains the real problem: stupid Muslims think the U.S. is about war and aggression.

The commendably missing element from Obama's speech

There was no pretense that human rights is our goal, or the likely outcome, in escalating the war

The face of rotted Washington

Evan Bayh demands more debt-financed war - fought by others - while boasting that he's a stern "deficit hawk."

Yes, it's Obama's war now

An uninspiring speech sells a dubious policy, but progressives who feel betrayed have only themselves to blame
