Liberal
[Read the article: Obama's the most liberal senator?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I doubt the National Journal can even define liberal, and if they did, it would be something along the lines of, "anything we dislike."
Even on those terms, though, it's highly doubtful Senator Obama is the most "liberal" senator.

To he-who-shall-be-food
[Read the article: Kansas O'Flaherty ... Secret Agent]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm sorry, homes--you've been upstaged in sheer malevolence by the Bush crew. Instead of trying to warp hearts and minds with this thing, why not smiteth those guys for stealing your thunder? It would save the taxpayers and various prosecutors a hella-amount of blues, now. Come on. Do the wrong thing. :)
Foolish mortal, I am malevolence. Do you think it possible for a being to upstage itself with one of its own appendages? It is possible for me, of course, but only possible for humans insofar as you are all merely extensions of myself, and your souls shall be consumed in a time and manner of my choosing.
Your letter shows a typical preoccupation with this notion you have called "time," which is truly an indication of how feeble your minds are. I have already consumed the Bush creature's soul, as I have already consumed yours, and yet, I have not consumed them at the same, "time."
My minion Schlesinger clearly understands these concepts, as proven by the temporal incoherence of her "comic." It has been a good minion, and I shall consume its soul quickly. Yours I shall take more time with.
-- Your faceless dark lord

Funny, I was expecting a different article
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Something along the lines of "Dewey Defeats Truman."

Ignorance
[Read the article: Lieberman and McCain: Kissing cousins in Connecticut]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ann Coulter is right, Clinton is more conservative than McCain.
Clinton is a bit conservative for a Dem, but no way in hell she's more conservative than McCain. She votes more than 80% with the Dem party, and he votes over 80% with the Republican party.
McCain has built his maverick image on just a few votes, for the most part he's just another lockstep Republican. Although, to judge by comments like yours, it seems that image is working for him on some level.

I know I keep bringing this up, but
[Read the article: Four more years]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They keep doing it. 1984 is an operations manual to these guys.
Listen, the stakes in November are high. This is an important election. Prosperity and peace are in the balance. So with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go forward, fight for victory and keep the White House in 2008.
"War is peace" was one of the three mottos of the Oceana party of Big Brother. How can I read Bush's statment to mean anything else?

I must agree with Treerol
[Read the article: Your presidential candidate: Hot or not?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If everyone were honest, ranged voting would be truly the fairest system of all, but in reality, it would reward the least honest by giving greater weight to their ballots. Truly, no one is a 100, and hardly anyone besides Bush is a 1.
And does anyone have a theory about which side of the aisle would tend to vote honestly, and which side would tend to vote all 100s or 1s?
I can't even guess.

Bravo Harold!
[Read the article: Kansas O'Flaherty ... Secret Agent]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Did you write the narrative? It was so perfectly 30s detective nouveau! Great voice work, nice job with the graphics, really, you hit it out of the park. This comic really doesn't deserve your talents.

Lol
[Read the article: Men, guard your genes!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Tracy, you're such a troll.

We've always been at war with Eurasia
[Read the article: Berkeley vs. the Marine Corps ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Veterans, mothers of marines and other troop supporters from around the state, organized by Move America Forward, came to Berkeley today to protest the Council's action.
Yes, the ones who want our boys to stay and die in a pointless war, they're the troop supporters. The ones who want to bring them home (or to give them proper body armor) are against the troops.
Hopefully it was sarcasm, and not a really bad choice of words?

Call out the right wing trolls and shills who seek to divide and villify
[Read the article: McCain targets Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Over the past few weeks, a few loudmouth, vituperative voices have been supposedly supporting their candidate while at the same time tearing down the other. I've seen supposed Obama supporters viciously attacking Clinton, and so-called Clinton supporters viciously attacking Obama, claiming they'll vote McCain if their horse doesn't win the nomination.
The right wing is not above hiring vicious little attack poodles like Cytheria (for example) to try and muddy up the waters, to divide and conquer us. Don't let them. Call them out for what they so obviously are.
Anyone who would vote McCain over either Obama or Clinton is a right winger, plain and simple. McCain, the flip flopper, the paper tiger, the man who never held a conviction he wouldn't deny three times before the cock's crow, if it earned him his 30 pieces of presidential silver. The man who would have us in Iraq for 10,000 years (and presumably 10,000 trillion quadrillion in debt) if "necessary," the man who is recognized even by his own party of ne'er-do-wells as a man without principle.
No sane person would vote for that man, least of all a Clinton supporter. My guess is that Cytheria and her ilk are paid operatives, and the right are bringing their Rovian-style dirty tricks out early this cycle. Why? Because they're scared, that's why!
As for me, I will support the nominee. I'm an Obama fan, myself, but I will happily press the Hillary button if necessary, and I won't even vote for Nader this time around.
We should loudly call out, and denounce as interloper anyone who won't make that pledge! By their fruits ye shall know them, brothers and sisters. Go forth and spread the word.
