Richard,

Shameless is too gentle a word to describe your character. You lie without breaking a sweat. I also believe you to be a coward. How about posting a link to your alleged employer's web site reflecting the 200 jobs it has open. I will share it with the many unemployed professionals with great skills and work ethic that I know. Does it give you a sense of pride knowing that most people who know you, think you to be a stupid asshole?

NYC Grrrl,

Richard is probably a 20 year old college student from a wingnut college being paid a stipend by some right wing psuedo-Christian/neoconservative foundation to troll on sites like Salon. I bet the fucker has not worked a day in his life and that his parents raised him to believe their delusions of white supremacy. People like Richard would never consider doing any activity aimed at helping other people. They enjoy the suffering of the unemployed, the poor, the sick, the disenfranchised because it reinforces their deluded world view. Richard is basically a parasite wannabe.

Cheers!

Shelley

@Old Poor Richard

There are approximately 16 million Americans out of work. Your company is hiring about 200 folks, right? Woo wee. You're going to put America back to work.

The majority of people out of work aren't enjoying the bankruptcy and fear that they're facing. Unemployment doesn't give you much each week -- only a fraction of what you were earning before you were laid off

If you think it's so easy to find a job, I have a challenge for you. Quit your job, then start applying to all of the companies hiring in this Depression. See if you can land another job.

I hope you're not ovr 45 because you're unemployable if you're "old" in this country.

To the people who thik 16 million Americans are all scamming the system, wake up. They aren't. Go volunteer at a food bank and you'll see the victims of this economy. They're just like you. The only thing that separates you from them is luck. Don't think you're so special because you haven't been laid off yet.

BTW, why don't you post a link to your company's website so people can apply for these hot jobs at your company? I dare you.

The news industry is dead. In its place is a bunch of amateurs. Our 24/7 global economy has no place for a disciplined news media. Technology is being used as an excuse for sloppy, unethical and unprofessional practices. Perhaps one day, 50 years from now, assuming humanity has not destroyed itself, there will be a hunger for basic quality again. For now, the public seems satisfied with shit.

Hey Deb,

Its got to be hard being you. Filled with hate, ignorance and stupidity. I bet you are really ugly also - well at least your soul is ugly. I bet you enjoy looking at those pictures plastered on the poster referenced in Alex's article. I bet you want to bring that scene to America. We know your type. You are a sociopath.

Wiesel is a liberal Obama supporter with no credibility

Yes he is a holocaust survivor and for that he has made an excellent living and been given great respect.

But as a liberal Obama supporter of COURSE he is going to say this.

Plus, he lost all of his money to swindler Bernard Madoff, so his judgment lately is a bit off.

I am deeply ashamed and embarrassed. The decision is what I would expect from a fascist judicial system. I hope his lawyers appeal to the Supreme Court though I expect they will either refuse to take the case or affirm. We should all let the Obama administration know how disgusted we are that the they defended Bush's fascist tactics. Let us remember . . . it could have been you or me, my brother or yours, etc. We must demand better of our elected representative in the White House. There simply is no excuse.

As much as we all hope that NeoCon Repigulians are fading into the sunset while they take their last desperate gasps of air - keep in mind the wisdom of George Lakoff, in his book - "Don't Think of an Elephant." We underestimate them at out own peril. They are morally bankrupt, clever, disciplined, and finally extremely well funded. Their movement kicked our ass for a damn long time and we did not respond in equal measure. It is a war and we need to win it.

In this case, Silenced is not golden . . . its feigned concern for the plight of the Afghan woman & children so transparently counterfeit that its almost laughable and insulting at the same time.

Hey flim flam silenced MF, take your BS somewhere else more tolerant of liars & scoundrels.
