Under the Collins campaign's own rules, anything written in the comments of a blog is representative of those who run the blog.

So since the Maine Web Report is run by Collins' director of online communications, we can say this comment essentially came out of Susan Collins' mouth:

[More Than A Feeling]

1. Why does the GOP hate America?

[Javaman]

17. Because that's how they make money. nt

[indepat]

28. Because those 'pukes now entrenched in power hate just about everything in the

Preamble to the Constitution, most of the Constitution, and almost all founding principles. That's why they hate America and have made a mockery of democracy, liberty, freedom, equal justice under the law, the separation of church and state, the separation of powers, the three equal major branches of government, the land of the free and home of the brave, fiscal sanity, any entitlement not an entitlement just for corporations or the most affluent among us, ad infinitum.

2. I used to like going down there.........

I have friends there (family has come back to Canada). It's getting less appealing to visit them every year, although at least two of my friends have ditched Texas for Colorado. They say it's a more comfortable environment, and they don't mean the weather.

3. Come on down, Colorado's great.

I loved living in Toronto for four years, though.

4. Arthur Frain would never say that

He was a character in Zardoz.
And, incidentally, they need to remember that as this hypothetical disaster is on Junior's watch, it will be their fault it gets through.
If of course they don't just do it them selves.

5. Wasn't New York filled with dirty libs too?

I imagine Susan moistened her panties when 9/11 happen too. Isn't there some way we can send these troglodytes back to their cave?

[nini]

8. exactly what I was thinking

these people are sooooo stupid it's ridiculous.

[tblue37]

6. Someone should gather up evidence

from all the RW writers, politicians, and on-air personalities and callers who keep saying we need another 9/11 and then make a video to be shown during the 2008 campaign.

I would love for the American voters to see, one after another, all the RW idiots calling for another 9/11. John Gibson and one of his RW callers were also openly wishing for another 9/11 on air. See the threads about it on the "Greatest" page. Here is a link to one:

Here is another, with reference to Stu Bykofsky, a RW columnist for The Philadelphia Daily News, who called for another 9/11 in a column in a PA newspaper::

7. Be sure to read 'The Cult of 9/11' on Common Dreams today.

14. Thanks for the link! I wanna read that! n/t

[guitar man]

9. so she is, in effect admitting

that the sinking GOP that is going down the tubes with their "fearless leader" and is so devoid of any ideas to salvage their image and win elections that the only hope they have left is another terrorist attack on the US. The fact that it would be a city full of "Dirty Libs" would just be icing on the cake to them.

Priceless. ;)

[AntiFascist]

10. Religious extremists all think alike, don't they? n/t

[Enrique]

11. I'm glad Kos added this line

"Yeah, this is a ridiculous game, but if they insist on playing it..."

[lazyriver]

12. I wonder if our Senator and her staff

realize Portland, Maine has its share of dirty libs as does the rest of our state. She has quite obviously caught whatever right wing nut virus her conjoined twin, Joe LIEberman, is carrying.

I will be helping Tom Allen out in any way I can and it will be a pleasure to see Collins loose in 2008.

[Robbien]

15. Yes, it appears Collins is operating under the GOP false meme

that conservatives are the majority of the American people. She has bought into her own party's propaganda.

Taking out one "liberal" city and she believes the rest of the country will fall in line behind her and the other GOPers? She is so delusional.

Good to see there is a good Dem candidate running against her.

[lazyriver]

25. I think Allen can win.

The timing is right and Allen is a solid and respected candidate. If the Collins camp wants to keep saying stupid things like this, I say give 'em a microphone, video camera and some air time.

I heard a tidbit on Maine Things Considered (MPBN)that said Collins has made a formal request of Tom Allen's campaign to stop sending trackers to her events. I guess she is trying to avoid a Macaca moment at her right wing events that will alienate the Maine Dem & Indy voters who mysteriously have kept voting for her. Hopefully this comment about taking out an American city to grow political support for her deranged party, even if she didn't actually say it, grows long legs.

[Robbien]

27. Can she be any more hypocritical

I saw that she had her campaign manager write Allen and ask that he cease and desist. Geeze, she is out in the public making public statements and complains when her opponent is recording public appearances?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys up there. Give her a good fight.

[bbernardini]

16. Portland, ME has never struck me as a conservative town.

Well, the "Old Port" section, anyway. :)

[lazyriver]

26. I'm not sure I've ever seen a conservative in the Old Port.

[bbernardini]

29. Except, perhaps...

...to buy hot sauce at that one store near Gritty's for some kind of weird sexual purpose.

[EFerrari]

13. Bill O'Reilly is posting to her blog? n/t

[spanone]

18. mr. frain sounds like he supports terrorism.....room for one more at gitmo????

[LiberalHeart]

19. Collins has stepped in deep doo-doo with this.

[formerrepuke]

20. "some...city full of dirty libs..." Well, that's just about EVERY big city in the country, no?

[Bluzmann57]

21. Hell, it's just about every small and mid sized city as well

at least in this city of 100,000 it rings true.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. SOmetimes my fellow Mainers surprise me. Does he not realize Portland is pretty danged

liberal?

[formercia]

23. Arthur Frain is a pseudonym

There is no such person.

[Benhurst]

24. And to think, that evil stupid bitch is what passes these days for

a "moderate" Republican.
