a little late
[Read the article: Ferraro resigns from Clinton campaign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]the fact that this hot topic was not mentioned at all in the last few days by salon prompted me to write a letter to them yesterday.
while the droning debate over prostitution and spitzer is being waged in Glenn Greenwald's column, much of it ignorant to what Glenn clearly stated this story and a major one in my opinion has been AWOL.
Ferraro should have been fired and the fact that Hillary and staff let it off with 'we don't agree with her' while raising a stink about every real and mostly imagined insult from Obama's camp, made me sick.
I've had enough of Clinton, I couldn't stomach her vote for Kyle/Lieberman, her attempt at a flag burning amendment and her vote for this ruinous war.
And if this is what Hillary's "experience" offers or illustrates then she should be forced out of office herself for her contempt and ignorance. To think she is running for the highest office in the land while waging a slash and burn candidacy to the detriment of the democrats, independents and others is shameful.
I have serious issues with Obama but Hillary would rather play the fear and loathing game, we've had 7 years with Bush doing it and I have had enough.
Sorry Alex, you dropped the ball on this one big time.

busy body
[Read the article: Ferraro resigns from Clinton campaign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That is what depresses me by far is the sad state of our economy.
We're not heading, we're full into a recession and in my opinion we're headed for a depression. Jobs on every level are being outsourced to foreign countries, white collar, blue collar, etc.
The housing market bubble finally blew up to reveal the subprime mortgage crisis, the dollar is in a death spiral, we manufacture what in this country now? Plastic twist ties?
Where is the long term planning to provide decent jobs and a better future to Americans? Have we become or are becoming an entitlement state? Nearly every industry is collapsing that provides actual labor for people.
Not everyone is cut out to work in IT and pray tell what companies are actually putting the investment into Ohio to give us this brave new digital future?
My apologies, this is OT but busy body has it right.
I'm afraid we're f**ked.

Ferraro part of Hillary's finance committee repeatedly and a known public figure in the Democratic Party says something patently racist and you don’t think it’s worth going over because
“… I held off on coverage is that I think this whole thing has been overblown”
My stepfather who previously bought into the crap about Obama being a secret Muslim voted for him, he came around. He’s old and sometimes shows it and even he was appalled by Ferraro’s comments and said it was blatantly racist.
If fact the given passions seen over this show it to be far more important and not lightly passed over, some of these passionate people are Hillary supporters. Even some of them are disgusted by Hillary’s wan reply.
From abc news 3/11 http://tinyurl.com/2brzxt
In a relatively mild response, Clinton continued, "And both of us have had supporters and staff members who've gone over the line and we have to reign them in and try to keep this on the issues. There are big differences between us on the issues — let's stay focused on that."
Am I to assume that it is ok and fine for white people such as myself to demand that people of color “denounce and reject” racists in their fold, while us white folks can still make blatantly and patently racist remarks.
Do you know any black people? Have you spoken to them about this? Do you think they think this is NOTHING? And in your mind this is just “Politics is politics” and yet you seem to think it was fine to talk about Obama denouncing and rejecting.
Alex, you are way off base, you gave more wordage to your poorly written defensive rambling reply (clocks in at just under 2000 words)than actually doing your job and addressing such topics as
"...we just don't have time to cover everything. We also missed out, regrettably, on covering a good Wall Street Journal article about the NSA and domestic spying, and were a day later than I would have liked to have been on McClatchy's story about a Pentagon-sponsored report showing no direct operational links between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and al-Qaida."

[Read the article: House Democrats reject telecom amnesty, warrantless surveillance]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I just got home from a busy day and haven't read one comment but from my heart, thank you for keeping the flashlight on this very crucial topic. Your diligence got me off my ass, got me to be more proactive, got me involved instead of feeling 'what the hell, they don't care, it isn't worth it.'
Got me to enlist and put money towards fighting this and other abuses of the White House and Congress. We may not have won the war to support and defend the Constitution but we've, you've helped us, us who are too busy just trying to scrape through, you've done the work to keep us hopeful.
You are, in my eyes and in my humble opinion, a true patriot.
Don't let them get you down.
