  • Hillary owes Murdoch.

    [Read the article: Quote of the morning]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Hillary took a shitload of money from Murdoch at a fundraiser he held for her so now she has to start paying up.

    I can't believe that this country is so short sighted as to nominate Hillary Clinton. You say you want to be progressive but you vote for the least progressive candidate on the stage. You say you want to bring this country together and get things done but you vote for the most divisive candidate you can find.

    I fucking weep for this country and it's future, I truly do.

    Last night as I watched the returns, I got the same feeling in my stomach that I got 7 years ago watching Gore lose. It's the same feeling I got 3 years ago watching Kerry lose. It's also very close to the feeling I get when I watch our current Dem controlled congress do absolutely nothing to make our country better. Calm down isn't in my available moods anymore.

    I'm finally resolved to the fact that in my 40's I can finally say I don't give a shit anymore and when you reach that point, it makes you mad.

    Now, if I can just get progressive voters to become my neighbors, maybe I won't go postal during the next 4 years of name calling and gridlock and hate.

  • Going without pay?

    [Read the article: Clinton senior staff going without pay]

    Maybe Rupert Murdoch can cover their salary?

  • Anon 7:17

    Go fuck yourself.

    You'll never be half the person he was.

  • Romney...another draft-dodger.

    [Read the article: Romney defeats McCain]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Those patriotic, flag waving, bomb loving Republicans sure love their chickenhawks, now don't they.

    McCain just makes them look bad. A real veteran who doesn't need to make up bullshit excuses for his draft dodging.

    An extra insult, I hear, is Romney spent his draft deferment doing Mormon mission work......in France! Maybe he was getting the recipe for "Freedom Fries". You can't write this shit.

  • Is it legal to vote twice in the same election?

    [Read the article: What's the Obama campaign's position on superdelegates?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Superdelegates can vote as an individual in their state primary and then vote again at a later date?

    Is that legal?

    If it is, I want to be one so I can vote as many times as I like!

  • When congress gets done with baseball...

    [Read the article: Clemens: Did he or didn't he?]

    ...my neighbor has a truck with a really loud exhaust. Can you get to that next? Thanks.

  • Hurray for the Dems!!!!

    [Read the article: House Republicans stage protest walkout]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Only your over a year too late on oversight. Most of the country is sick of you by now so don't waste your energy trying to look like you give a shit about anything. You just look pathetic and rather pussy-like.

  • All this bullshit for a word.

    [Read the article: Jane Fonda drops the C-word, O'Reilly freaks out]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Someone should do a story on the epidemic of "fake shock" that has infected the world.

    Everyone needs to stop pretending that they're so enraged by a simple word.

  • Cuba is not communist.

    [Read the article: Fidel Castro steps down]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Cuba is a dictatorship.

    Fidel Castro is a self appointed dictator and an egomaniac. This has nothing to do with communism.

  • Give us some proof.

    [Read the article: NYT breaks long-rumored story on possible relationship between McCain, lobbyist]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Speak on the record, provide some concrete proof or shut the fuck up.

    There was so much bullshit about President Clinton thrown around that turned out to be false, I'm sick and tired of listening to backroom, off the record accounts of something that may or may not have happened. Tell the truth on the record and prove it or go away.

  • Proof?

    [Read the article: McCain speaks on New York Times story]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Anyone who's willing to speak on the record to McCain's face or has actual proof of some kind? Then shut up and go away.

    "Anonymous Sources" means: here comes a bullshit story.

  • Even if he could shoot em, he wouldn't.

    [Read the article: Limbaugh: Liberals -- can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    He wouldn't, cause he's a coward. It's documented. He's a fucking draft-dodging coward just like Ted Nugent and Bill O'Reilly. He's a morbidly obese, drug addicted, impotent, many times divorced, draft-dodging coward.

    Can I get a "ditto"?

  • I wish there were 10 people running.

    [Read the article: Dems condemn Nader]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Then maybe one of them would be saying the things I want to hear. Come on Ralph and anybody else who wants to run for president.

    2 parties got you to where we are today, stuck in an invasion and occupation with no opposition party to get us out. After the last year of democrats doing nothing in congress I'm ready for almost any alternative.

    Fuck The chickenhawk republican party and the spineless democratic party.

  • Wasn't Abraham Lincoln a trial lawyer?

    [Read the article: Republicans continue to mislead on Protect America Act extension]

    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Right next to the name "Lindsey Graham" on the letters page is a Yahoo advertisement for douche bags. No joke.

  • What's the big deal?

    [Read the article: A vaccine for gentlemen]

    Abstain...get married...have sex only to produce children.

    What about the president's plan don't you understand?

    ...where did he get that fake accent from?

  • It's all crap.

    [Read the article: Obama should be proud to be named Hussein]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Pointing out that his middle name is Hussein is just the 21st century way of calling him a nigger.

    It's OK GOP, we all get it.

  • I truly don't understand this Reagan hero worship.

    [Read the article: Quote of the day]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The biggest memory I have of the Reagan-Bush years is that a friend and I were the only 2 people we knew with jobs. Literally. For years.

    This is proof that if you say the same shit over and over again it becomes fact. Reagan a good president? Bullshit.

  • My state isn't scheduled to vote until May.

    [Read the article: Michigan, Florida governors want delegates seated]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If the nominee is decided before I have the chance to vote(again), can I whine and cry like Florida and Michigan?

    Half the country is usually "disenfranchised" in the primaries by not having the opportunity to vote in them. You don't hear us whining about the candidates the early states pick for us.

  • I'm not concerned about her tax returns.

    [Read the article: What Clinton once said about tax returns]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I am however concerned that she takes money at fundraisers thrown for her by Rupert Murdoch and News Corp.

  • Hillary thinks McCain is a better nominee than Obama?

    [Read the article: Obama advisor calls Clinton a "monster," apologizes]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Monster? Maybe.

    "Asshole" might be a better description.

  • Maybe you should ask Joe Torre what he thinks about this.

    [Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]

    Hahahahahahahahahaha!

    The sore winners of baseball; The New York Yankees.

    Again.

  • Great.

    [Read the article: Hillary Clinton, sniper fire and Sinbad]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Another complete bullshitter. 7+ years of listening to nothing but lies and complete fabrications is enough for me.

    Go away Hillary and take your ridiculous combat fantasies with you.

  • Someone might like to remind the right...

    [Read the article: Quote of the day]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    ...that in the last 7+ years, they haven't been right about anything. Not the economy, the invasion and occupation, taxes, the constitution...nothing, all the while adding 4 TRILLION dollars to the national debt and running a massive budget deficit EVERY YEAR since taking control of my government.

    And no, I'm not a democrat.

  • A war criminal finally speaks the truth on network television.

    [Read the article: "You don't care what the American people think?"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    RADDATZ: Two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting.

    CHENEY: So.

    RADDATZ: So? You don't care what the American people think?

    CHENEY: No.

    And there you have it. I think the families of all the needless dead should go out and make him care.

  • Instead of dinner, how about a more valuable prize...
