Comment on The Cost of Free Trade: Toxic Chinese Drywall by Cynthia

Cynthia — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:57:56 +0000

The first Chinese drywall lawsuit begins this month; here is some good information: http://www.chinese-drywall-answers.com/. People living with Chinese drywall have suffered eye, respiratory, and sinus problems that may be linked to the gases emitted from defective Chinese drywall that also produce a sulfurous odor and causes metals—air conditioning coils, silverware, jewelry—to corrode. Some 500 million pounds of Chinese drywall was imported into this country since the late 1990s, impacting about 100,000 homes.

Comment on GOP sees Ft. Hood as act of terror by Brenda

Brenda — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:38:54 +0000

Just more smoke and mirrors rhetoric in an attempt to deflect attention from their sorry ass leadership that almost ruined our country. They are desparate losers, losing. They have no shame, and no love for the American people.

Comment on Right-wing media claim Obama is criticizing Fox for “tough questions” and “reporting the truth” by Cecil Lee Russell

Cecil Lee Russell — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:07:30 +0000

There are 2 positions here which are true. Fox has a very long history of doctoring the truth AND Obama does indeed hate white people. Obama is in quite a predicament because on the one hand he has a deep seated hatred for racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan and on the other hand Obama has the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan voting for him to be President. Who is the Klansman who voted for Obama? None other than West Virginia Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, a man who has personally been present while blacks were hung and had their homes burned to the ground. Senator Byrd has been a Senator in the United States Congress since 1959 and he has been a Klansman since 1942. Interesting how, when the knowledge about the true origins of the Ku Klux Klan get out, people start name calling and slandering others. Beck has offered anyone who can refute his allegations numerous opportunities to call in and state when he is wrong. No one calls. There is a proverb in America: “You are known by the company you keep” and Obama himself said during the campaign: “Judge me by the people I surround myself with.” Obama has an administration full of Communist traitors. I hope everyone remembers that even the President can be arrested for treason and the penalty for treason is death.

Comment on Barr: Who Cares If Wall Street Talent Leaves? by Cecil Lee Russell

Cecil Lee Russell — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:15:31 +0000

There is no doubt that communism is embedded into American social culture to stay and until these communists, most of who support Obama, force the country into another civil war, they will get a free pass. Who are these communists? A most appropriate description was written by none other than ultra communist George Lucas himself. The storyline became the script of the hugely popular “Star Wars.” The communists in America today are the people supporting the Empire and the Emperor of the movie. The rebel alliance of the movie is the tea party, the birthers, the patriot movement, the tax protesters, conservatives and a handful of Republicans who prefer the contempt and disdain of the Democrats to the selling out of their own soul.
I find it interesting that the wall street execs getting their salary cut are not supporters of the democrat party while those allowed to keep their “ill gotten gains” are supporters of the democrat party. Throughout history, every time the tyrants ascend to positions of power, many of their own supporters ultimately get turned on and destroyed. I for one, have no sympathy for anyone who supports democrats and then loses home or job or retirement benefits because Obama is not cleaning up any mess someone else made. Obama himself voted for and petitioned for every economic ill America faces today. This mess is a democrat creation assisted by idiots in the Republican Party like Olympia Snow, John McCain and George Bush. Democrats created it and democrats voted into office the very people who caused this economic chaos. The solution is really quite simple. Deport Democrats not illegals!!!

Comment on Media conservatives baselessly declare poll finding majority support for public option “fraudulent,” “rigged” by Paul

Paul — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:41:39 +0000

The NFL decides who becomes an owner not the other way around.

All this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has to offer is his money and his opinions, (which in my opinion are on the fringes of racism, one mans opinion). There are many more groups biding for the Rams, not just his group. Lets face it there are more men with money (Marshall Faulk) that will gladly fill the slot and the Rams will win or lose depending on how well they work as a team and not on whether or not Rush is an owner.

As for Vick, well he is a player (he has talent not like you, Rush or I, unless you are a NFL player?) and he served his time and the NFL decided we live in the land of second chances, so why not (I personally don’t like it but, oh well). Life has never been fair (NEWS FLASH!)

Now as to the “Free Speech” argument, I guess many of you like myself heard Rush on Thursday “Almost in tears”, priceless. But the last couple of days he now is in his normal ranting and will continue until someone surpasses him, “Free Speech” continues, so what is being stifled, it simply is not true, of course, you may not have a radio, so you might want to get one.

Comment on Limbaugh Sacked from NFL Bid by Paul

Paul — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 02:48:10 +0000

It seems to me that all the negative vibes this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has been spewing over these many years has come back to blow back on his face (A classic “Blow Back”). He always tries to give off the airs that he can have anything he wants but as we all witness those with more money and influence tossed him aside like sack of potatoes and the ultimate insult was that it was done in public (money don’t buy you everything butterball).

Now of course he blames everyone else (Michael J. Fox, Perez Hilton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, Hillary Clinton, Olympia Snowe, ESPN, NFL, the media, basically people of color, women and gays) when of course all you have to do is listen to his show and plainly hear his daily prejudices filled sermons. So NFL, I salute you decision, job well done. And to the whaling cry baby perched on his self made pedestal, quit your whining it was your own fault. Don’t we all feel better?

Comment on Republican: anti-Obama birthers 'crazy' [Grahamnesty barf alert] by Paul

Paul — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:03:34 +0000

The birthers, the tea baggers, the screamers, and the deathers continued extreme minority presence will become tiresome to mainstream America, if it has not already done so. To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true, if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. I heard Orly Taitz, is selling a tape (I think it’s called “Money, Lies and Video tape”). She is from Orange County, CA, now I know what the mean when they say “behind the Orange Curtain”, when they talk about Orange County, the captial of Conspiracy Theories. You know Obama has a passport, he travel abroad before he was a Senator, but I guess they were in on it. In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”. I heard that she now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC).

Comment on Jamison Foser: Betsy McCaughey, Big Tobacco, and the campaign to destroy health care reform by CTJack

CTJack — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:29:07 +0000

Re Betsy McCaughey’s writings being influenced by Phillip Morris, didn’t The Manhattan Institute refute that claim with the following statement?: “Betsy McCaughey wrote two articles for The Wall Street Journal on the Clinton Health Care plan and an additional article for The New Republic which was solicited by its publisher. At no time were her ideas influenced or controlled by anyone but the author herself.”
That would seem to discredit a portion of your article.

Comment on Media conservatives denounce Glenn Beck’s “hatred” by The Glenn Beck Program

More people, regardless of party, need to stop repeating anything Beck says with a sense of approval. Any time Beck should be brought up is to point out a falsehood he is trying to perpetuate.

Comment on Cheney says cooperation with CIA probe “will depend” by Tom Degan

Tom Degan — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:55:26 +0000

Thank you, Dick Cheney, for saving the United States of America. But seriously, folks….

It sure is fun watching poor old Dick Cheney stumbling all over the right wing airwaves, desperately trying to poison the jury pool and dodge a VERY long stretch in a federal prison. I only saw clips of his “interview” with Chris Wallace on FOX Noise on Sunday. Someone described it as a starry-eyed teenage girl interviewing one of the Jonas brothers.

It sure is funny observing the meltdown of Dick and Liz (Cheney – not Burton and Taylor). The trillion dollar hammer is about to hit the fan. They’re like cornered rats. Oh, man! I’m lovin’ this!

Don’t take your eye off the Cheneys. For your best entertainment bargain, these two are the show that should not be missed. We’re talking essential viewing here!

Comment on Cheney says cooperation with CIA probe “will depend” by Paul

Paul — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:14:40 +0000

I think the responsibility lies at the top of the administration that asked for torture to begin by renaming it as “enhanced interrogation techniques”, (even Ronald Reagan, called the practice of torture “abhorrent”), is anyone surprised that Cheney is now crying about the investigations.

Comment on Dobbs blasts “psychotic punk” Olbermann and “coward” Griffin by Tnautry

Tnautry — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:36:19 +0000

Dobbs should go on over to Fox news with the rest of the nuts. I watched Dodds’s show in disbelief Friday at the way he treated one of his guest. Dobbs would not allow his guest to present the facts supporting his point of view on Health Care Reform. Dobbs then proceeded to call his guest rude. It was pathetic to watch. Mr Dobbs should go back and look at the tape of that show. He will see who the “psychotic punk” is.

Comment on Other sports leagues support NFL in doping case vs. Minnesota Vikings linemen #sports by nfljerseys

nfljerseys — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 06:44:41 +0000

1 They know what they are doing but they simply ignored the law. They should have someone examined the unknown substance. It’s no use saying why they didn’t do that. Allright, let that be a warning to all of the NFL players. If they wanna go on their games, they should be responsible for themselves.

2 Second, the Minnesota Vikings definitely incurred a heavy loss. But we should be fair. Because imitation effect is indeterminate. You never know what other teams would do when such thing is tolerated. As long as Vikings work hard, they will also make great achievement.

3 Third, personally speaking, judge should be made right. Penalties should be imposed on all guilty parties, no matter who they are. The NFL’s policy is clear: Players are responsible for what they put in their bodies, and inadvertently ingesting a banned substance is not an excuse. This is justice, to audience, to all of people who may concern.

Comment on Schumer crafting public option by jacksmith

jacksmith — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:29:18 +0000

AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!

It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.

STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America.

And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.

Progressive democrats the Tri-Caucus and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and request that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).

Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.

In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!

If President Obama has to declare a NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY to rescue the American people from our healthcare crisis, he will need all the sustained support you can give him. STICK WITH HIM! He’s doing a brilliant job.

THIS IS THE BIG ONE!

THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!

Join the fight.

Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!

God Bless You

Comment on Energizing Senate cap-and-trade bill by Foxwood

Foxwood — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:59:45 +0000

Don’t believe this is not a tax on those making under $250,000 and 95% of Americans will not get taxed. Everything this bill touches will go down the FOOD chain. Gas, electricity, food, products and services. Everything will go up, but it’s not a tax on you. Not to mention man made climate change is a myth.
