New canned troll comment: “If you don’t vote for Obama, my son will die”
Oh, man. This is a real operation. Today’s troll comment, from (alas! a flaw in the plan!) the same IP block as the last set: I thought I’d chime in with a different perspective. I’m a military mom; my only son is currently on his second tour in Iraq. His first tour was quite an [...]
Comment of the Day
From BDBlue at Corrente: I have long believed the most dangerous thing about this primary was the misogyny, especially aimed at older women, running rampant unchecked by Obama or the Democratic Party. You can’t simply put that back up in its cage now that the nomination is over. That kind of hatred spewed into the [...]

But more than that, I honor her today for the valiant and historic campaign she has run. She shattered barriers on behalf of my daughters and women everywhere, who now [...]
The Hube Redux
There is no limit to the man’s hypocrisy. Butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. This is Obama responding to a reporter’s question about the alleged Michelle tape: “We have seen this before. There is dirt and lies that are circulated in emails and they pump them out long enough until finally you, a mainstream reporter, [...]
