		<description>I knew  MJ &quot;revoltingpawn&quot; would be unable to back it up with an honest fact.  Just because you say it does not make it true.

Maybe you are also clairevoyant since you &quot;know&quot; waht the rest of us don&#039;t.  The FACT is, the US has better intel than anyone else.  Assuming that anything the French or Italians had to say is true when it contradicts the US is rediculous - they were just staking those claims to counter the US - not because they knew anything.  Luck doesn&#039;t make them right - just lucky.

As far as news bias - it has bees WELL documented that most of the TV and print media leans left - it isn&#039;t even a debatable point anymore.  Only a borderline Communist would think there is a right tilt.</description>

		<description>MJ &quot;revoltingpawn&quot;  said
“All the political coverage form MSNBC, CNN, and FOX has sucked and has been mostly unwatchable. I don’t even like mainstream media. Sorry you can call me any names you like but Fox News is still bias and there is no “liberal” mainstream media. Get over it… The problem once again is don’t seem know what being liberal really means. “

--I knew you couldn’t provide an example and wouldn’t.  Saying it doesn’t make it true.  The media leans left and we all know it – as the article showed.

“I think the Democrats believed in was politically beneficial to believe in WMDs. They should have stood up to Bush right there. Funny I knew their was no meaningful WMD’s in Iraq before we went in. How? The French and Russian intel said there wasn’t… There was intel from us that was public that disagreed with what Bush was saying. John Ritter our U.N. rep. who went to Iraq said there wasn’t.”

--The French always took an opposing view – nothing new there.  It’s amazing how you knew all the answers and Clinton, Kerry, Gore, et al didn’t – you must be clairvoyant.  In any case, I explained what happened with the inspectors and it’s well documented – you were wrong.</description>

		<description>Eric...

Wow! You called me a nasty bigot, intolerant, and dishonest in two comments and you think give a good example of the right? Did you forget to call me a terrorist? LOL These was all based on what? By the way use a spell checker if you are going to insult me.

Are we really going back to the blame Clinton thing seriously?

		<description>I just spotted this by MJ &quot;revoltingpawn&quot; 
&quot;…Sorry can’t blame the Democrats for the Iraq issue. There is a huge difference in wanting inspections during the Clinton administration and the Bush administration declaring the Iraqis have WMDs based on hand picked wrong intel…&quot;

I served 8 deployments to Turkey and Saudi flying patrols over the No Fly Zones.  The inspectors were booted from Iraq after Clinton had us hurl a few bombs on meaningless sites in Iraq in retaliatory strikes.  Bush made an aweful lot of mistakes - but this wasn&#039;t one of them.  Maybe if clinton had done  better job, our intel might have been better.  Besides, EVERY leading democrat agreed that there were WMDs - there was no hand picked intel - it was just wrong.

I would implore MJ &quot;revoltingpawn&quot;  to at least be honest while defending his or her position- it does you no favors to stake out a position based on huffington Post talking points.</description>

		<description>MJ &quot;revoltingpawn&quot; truly embodies what is wrong with the left in this country - they are just flat nasty biggots.  The intollerance of these types would make a klansman flinch.  My appologies to those liberals that don&#039;t spew hate to all those that disagree with them.

As far as the cable news outlets - Fox, which obviously leans right in their commentary - has presented the most balanced political coverage in their election08 series I&#039;ve seen.  If you disagree - show us an example.  MSNBC has become a joke, but CNN has been quite good and worthy of watching as well.</description>

		<description>The Clinton campaign didn&#039;t have a healthcare plan befor it felled and they don&#039;t have one now. Well to be honest, if everyone is a goverment employee, then the Clinton healthcare plan will work for everyone. Unfortunately some are self employed, independent contractors or work for private employors or small business. Under the Clinton healthcare plan these people would be penalized if they don&#039;t pay for their healthcare. This means that most of your family members and friends will have their paychecks garnished. We all know that it doesn&#039;t stop there if it is a goverment enforcement. There will be fines and then misdemeanors which is a criminal offense defined as less serious than a felony. Why did Ms. Clinton decide on this approach? It doesn&#039;t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Big business, big Corporation call it what you will, they want their money back and in order for Ms. Clinton to get their support in her race to presidency she is giving victory to one side (the healthcare providers) by promising to them that she will have the poeople wages garnished if they continue to give healthcare. Thus allowing her to shout the words &quot;UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE&quot;  This is a shady tactic and makes fools out of every american that falls for this trick. The Obama healthcare plan is for the people. Poor people, middle class and rich people can rest assured that there is no tricks or penalties in the Obama healthcare plan. VOTE OBAMA!!</description>

		<description>thefamilyguy..

You just don&#039;t seen to get the idea that the liberal media does not exist and MSNBC or FOX News do not need to present a opposing viewpoint. Enough of beating that dead horse..

Yes Air America does have angry callers but it is expected after seven years of George Bush and the Democrats doing nothing. Seems have heard many a angry caller on the right wing talk shows and if listen to local radio in the south you will also hear a lot of racist and hateful talk to top it off.

Sorry can&#039;t blame the Democrats for the Iraq issue. There is a huge difference in wanting inspections during the Clinton administration and the Bush administration declaring the Iraqis have WMDs based on hand picked wrong intel. Yes the Democrats shouldn&#039;t have signed off on authorization of force but they put to much trust in Bush. This is Bush&#039;s War all the way...

Not surprised you think the Iraq War is swell. Oh wow little democracy for Iraq and all they needed to do was give up was 60,000 to 100,000 of their lives, their sovereignty, and soon their oil rights. We just needed couple thousand lives and a trillion dollars. What a deal!

Not sure what you mean about losing? We do not have a exist strategy and  at the rate we are spending money there in just couple of years we will be in economic ruin if not already. 

Iraq and Vietnam are not similar? Besides both being unneeded, great lose of American life, big cost in dollars, us butting in far away places, causing division in our nation, and neither having a exit strategy they are not alike at all.

Thanks for finishing your comment by proving that you do nothing but repeat the words of the right wing talk radio blow holes. The left supports and loves &quot;the insurgents&quot;? What! Huh? Why don&#039;t you just make shit up? Oh you did... 

I doubt you even know &quot;insurgents&quot; is nothing but catch all label that describes many different groups with different goals and agendas in Iraq. 

Well you can have the last word if you like to continue making ignorant statements but it&#039;s now waste of my time for me.</description>
