CB, how did you ever find time to come down from your ivory tower and pass judgement on us?

I'm just embarrassed for those adults on here that are really out of hand with all the links, bile, and conspiracy theories. I know people like that (in real life) and it's really pitiful to watch them rant. It's a desparate attempt to find enough proof to substantiate the hate of another "side" that is very much like themselves when it's all said and done. It's kind of like racism.

Politics is just grown-ups acting like children in the sandbox. When you can control your emotions and focus on the big picture, this all looks really really silly.

Re: Why so much venom?

I completely agree with that. Everyone is entitled to free speech, but guys like them are bad. There are people on both sides of the net that spew trash out of their mouths daily, preaching it as the gospel. I really wish that none of them were on period, liberal or conservative.

You wouldn't have them if the media was fair and balanced and just reported the news. They fill a void.

I do believe they fill a void as well, a void created by a hunger for hatred. They fill this void and they further increase its depth. The best thing that ever could have happened for Limbaugh-the-pill-popper, was for Clinton to win two terms. That gave him time to develop the Ditto-head nation and the rest is history.

To be honest with you, reading this forum has really opened my eyes to how mentally persecuted far right-wing wackos really are... I already knew how crazy the far-left was but W0Wzers!!!!

Wow, more judgment passed on what may be fictitious posters.

Every one of those people is worthless. I just only remember those names, because they seem to always be talked about.

SB Shock, I agree that the media needs to be fair and balanced. But it isn't, so we have those whack jobs on both sides of the fence spewing hate and filth and trash out of their mouths daily. I have some family in Holland and rather frequently, they ask if we heard about an event that happened here, and of course we didn't. The media is bad about reporting stuff, and when they do, it is chopped to what they want it to be. And with some of the happenings, it wouldn't surprise me at all that the government prevented it from being on TV or in the media. So until things are changed, I guess we're stuck with what we got, so I'll just keep listening to Sports Talk and not pay attention to the idiots.

The pro america comment/arguement is stupid and Palin is stupid for saying it in the first place.

You have dumb asses all across the board and the people in the linked article above are prime examples of that.

However to insist that a place Palin is visiting is pro america is beyond stupid. So what if she does not visit Wichita? does that mean we are anti american?

No it means we don't live in a swing state. :)

Denny, trying to have a rational discussion with totally irrational people is a waste of time but good luck in your effort.

Irony?

Or am I using the wrong word here?

[ABC]

Irony does fit.

First of all, for some reason I feel compelled to answer the very intelligent question posed by Brother Cold, and I am not even drunk - or very drunk.

It is actually when Palin is discussed, where decorum was lost and nashing of teeth occurs, and most of that was lead by our very level-headed political observationist, Ms. Coldblooded.

Yes, I call that irony or idiocy.

I think the discussion on Shockernet about the Presidential race has been fairly even tempered. There are folks with strong opinions, but there haven't any meltdowns and only a few names that have been hurled.

Clearly a majority here are right of center. But I think that intelligent, cogent responses and criticisms of McCain or Republicans are treated with respect.

Thus, why the venom? I haven't witnessed it but by our lady friend, Coldblooded. I think he/she was the one using the word "moron" to describe a Republican candidate for SG County Commission. That is certainly as venomous or more venomous than those on this site that have been critical of Obama.
