2. Cenk is good! The best they can do is

talk about some guy holding up a sign saying to get out of Afghanistan. The old "change the subject" strategy. They're running scared. Their excuses are getting more and more ludicrous. THUS, they will redouble their efforts. Watch for it.

Palin, Beck, et. al. ARE culpable.

There is NO equivalence. It's about eliminationalist rhetoric. (But I repeat myself). :evilgrin:

3. Media - Just astoundingly stupid!!! Who are these people?

4. The Turk is very, very good.

These respected, experienced, neutral, logical, and objective commentators are transparently full of shit.

5. The whore media's attempt to spin

a false equivalency narrative via ridicule and denial is so transparent that it can be invisible only to the credulous and willfully blind.

6. Yeah yeah Joe Klein

says everything is so complicated. Like the banking biz. What few rules and regs they have are just so complicated , WE don't understand . Except they are some high falootin' criminals there . Joe Klein included for trying to smooth over the vicious rhetoric.

7. I LOVE it when Cenk gets angry like this...

That way, I don't have to.
