I'd wager that questions about race have got absolutely nothing to do with anything of substance for a very great majority of us here.
Obviously they mean a lot to you.
How much from Greenwald have you read? How many of his articles? Perhaps you should read more from him before leveling the charge of racism even one more time, because, frankly, you're making yourself look like a fool ... a HUMAN fool.

You betcha! Nothing would simulate the economy like a 64" plasma screen in every home.
I'm the guy in the iridescent outfit with the beard.
You've got some serious moooooves.
That little skip thing you did really got to me.
You wouldn't happen to have some fishnet hose that I could borrow, would you? Pedinska and I are going fishing next week and they'll come in handy.
I could loan the fishnet stockings to you, but then I'd have to spank you. And I don't think Pedinska would appreciate that.
Isn't that wonderful? I ran into Boney-M when I was looking up Miriam Makeba videos after her sad and untimely passing, (what a performer! What an artist! What a singer! She is the greatest!) and Boney-M, of course, does a version of "Malika". Which is a stunning one. The costumes are gorgeous and very tasty. You should take a look at it.
Believe me, I have been practicing that move ever since I found the video. If Euro-disco comes back, I'm ready. And it will, it will!
I have read GG for years and I have not called him a racist so please do not put your script into my words..
I have major reservations about Glenn's posture here and on other issues with regard to Obama and Black folks in general.. I do not need you or any others in here to monitor or advise me on how I should react..I take my own tempature about issues I am interested in..
Have some courage and stop drinking Glenn's water you post like a a Glenn groupie...
but then I'd have to spank you.
You'll understand that, while it wasn't addressed to me, this caught my (ever roving) eye.

Appreciate it? She would only object if she were excluded.
When would you like to start?
what the Great Barometer of Thor said.
Gaalll!
follow that script ..I do find it interesting reading such shallow retorts like yours in a liberal chat room....Your willingness to play the race card reveals alot about you not me in fact..
I never thought a word could be as dismaying as "left".
But "progressive" is giving it a run for its money.
Exactly what, in terms of politics today, does "progressive" mean? That we want things to get better? Okay, I'm for that.
And "left" has simply become ridiculous. Look, I don't need somebody to tell me what is "hip". Hell, I give a correspondence course in "hip" (which many of you, if you don't mind my saying so, could use) But "progressive"? What the hell? Has anybody gone and researched what "progressive" means in American politics? As far as I can tell, it means very little which speaks to our present political problems, and what it does mean, we don't want. There are certainly a lot of things wrong with America, but lack of progress is not one of them. Progress we got, way too much of it for me.
And has "left" come to mean simply "that portion of the electorate which doesn't want poor old people to die in the streets? Cause you can do that and never come within a mile of the "left".
And the Repubs are doing the most "leftist" things of all! They are pouring money into what used to be private enterprise.
This article is potentially leading not to transcendence, but to more brokeness [...] you have to be practical. Pragmatic. People on the left who want everything their way all the time from their politicians need to grow up. It will never always be every way you want - because it's not possible. You have to compromise sometimes. Obama will rule from the center - that is what he has been talking about all along.
He will rule with sophistication, nuance, consulting expertise.[...]

1) I'm not, broadly speaking on the "Left", like many of the other people who post comments to Glenn's blog, and many more who read it.
2) American presidents "lead" they do not "rule"
3) Worship of still-living men went out of fashion before the fall of Rome and the "divine right of kings" was debunked in the 17th century.
I realize this comments section degenerated in to a festival of idiocy during the afternoon, but this post is still distinctively pitiful. Breathless worship of Bush by alleged Christians is part of what provoked me to despise his administration (they were all too happy to accept the accolades). Watching "progressives" or "leftists" fall into the same repulsive patterns is doubly disgusting... although I don't quite know why.
deal with this truth and stop trying to make me the Black Boogie man..that is a tired bit....
The Democratics have shown just as much integrity as the Republicans, but fewer balls. Do they really think vitriol spewing Lieberman, an enthusiastic cheer leader for McCain/Palin is going to "go along" with the Democrats on their agenda? Since when has it become standard policy to reward poor performance, disloyalty. Looks like change is just a word with nothing but hot air behind it.
I take my own tempature about issues I am interested in..
I bet you do. So why don't you get a reading and then get your head out of there.

GBT
G, color-blindness is very common, especially in males (I could use some better color vision myself) so if you can't see it, the light blue type just below your handle says: "Read GBT's other letters"
Just thought I would mention that to you, as a favor.
