					<description>Watching this guy makes you realize just how much finesse and sophistry Hannity and Limbaugh have. What they do is a kind of artistry.. this fellow is just awful. No talent.

All he did was spit out soundbites, without any coherency.

					<description>&lt;i&gt;Athiest, I don’t care. It’s worth fighting. Voila. &lt;/i&gt;

Sure, I could not agree more. I just wanted to say that if you expect to: &quot;&lt;i&gt;end this ridiculous crap right now.&lt;/i&gt;&quot;, you should stop expecting it. The ridiculous crap has legs, ginmar.</description>

					<description>I need to say this since no one else has pointed it out yet:  It is not, in fact, &quot;fair&quot; to call Obama a &quot;Chicago-style Daley politician.&quot;  Yes, the man lives in Chicago.  But his political success has come in spite of Chicago's machine politics, not because of them.  When he ran for the Senate in 2004, he was not the candidate backed by the Daley administration.  He won the primary (by a huge margin, incidentally) despite the Chicago Democratic establishment's best efforts to elect somebody else.  Anyone who investigated Chicago Machine politics on even a cursory level (and I'm certainly no expert) would find the statement ridiculous.

					<description>I live in the same neigborhood as this scumbag in Cincinnati.  Believe it or not friends, this guy is reveared by many a conservative in this Republican city; if you ever wonder why Cincy is one of the Repub strongholds in the country, it is the reason this guy even has a job.  

This is the man, who along with meanJean Schmidt, spent their own private money to put a banner up in the middle of my small local berg that said, &quot;Marry Christmas&quot;, just so they could perpetuate the war on christmas myth, while at the same time on his radio show, tell a jewish listener to go &quot;cry to someone that gives a damn&quot; about her being chastised for not wishing him a merry christmas instead saying &quot;happy holidays&quot; when they crossed paths at my local Krogers. He actually talked about her by name on air, and when she called in he was a total prick.  Now that is someone to look up to.

I won't even go into the &quot;darky&quot; comments I've heard this idiot talk about.</description>

					<description>  Athiest, I don't &lt;i&gt;care.&lt;/i&gt; It's worth fighting. &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080227/lf_afp/usislamreligionethics&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Voila. &lt;/a&gt; 
 

 &quot; WASHINGTON (AFP) - A huge survey of the world's Muslims released Tuesday challenges Western notions that equate Islam with radicalism and violence.
ADVERTISEMENT

The survey, conducted by the Gallup polling agency over six years and three continents, seeks to dispel the belief held by some in the West that Islam itself is the driving force of radicalism.

It shows that the overwhelming majority of Muslims condemned the attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001 and other subsequent terrorist attacks, the authors of the study said in Washington.

&quot;Samuel Harris said in the Washington Times (in 2004): 'It is time we admitted that we are not at war with terrorism. We are at war with Islam',&quot; Dalia Mogadeh, co-author of the book &quot;Who Speaks for Islam&quot; which grew out of the study, told a news conference here.

&quot;The argument Mr Harris makes is that religion in the primary driver&quot; of radicalism and violence, she said.

&quot;Religion is an important part of life for the overwhelming majority of Muslims, and if it were indeed the driver for radicalisation, this would be a serious issue.&quot;

But the study, which Gallup says surveyed a sample equivalent to 90 percent of the world's Muslims, showed that widespread religiosity &quot;does not translate into widespread support for terrorism,&quot; said Mogadeh, director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies.

About 93 percent of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are moderates and only seven percent are politically radical, according to the poll, based on more than 50,000 interviews.

In majority Muslim countries, overwhelming majorities said religion was a very important part of their lives -- 99 percent in Indonesia, 98 percent in Egypt, 95 percent in Pakistan.

But only seven percent of the billion Muslims surveyed -- the radicals -- condoned the attacks on the United States in 2001, the poll showed.&quot;

  This is injustice, pure and simple. People who stereotype Muslims deserve to pay for it. </description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;Maybe if the rest of us started using it, it wouldn’t just be the asshole pundits using it, and we’d stop intimating that we’re ashamed of it or that it’s some sort of secret that needs to be guarded.&lt;/i&gt;

Also, we should try to  use &quot;John Stanley McCain III&quot; whenever possible. Doesn't sound like a &quot;straight-talker&quot; name to me . . .</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;Yeah, kill two birds with one stone. Frankly, the anti-Muslim prejudice going on now just disgusts me. Fight that and &lt;b&gt;you’ll end this ridiculous crap right now.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

I wouldn't bet on anything we could say &lt;b&gt;right now&lt;/b&gt; having &lt;i&gt;too&lt;/i&gt; much of an effect on people, though. Lots of Americans will probably hate Muslims until they (the Americans, that is) die. It would be better if there were a significant portion of the mass media which would refuse to air people who encourage racism.</description>

					<description>*giggle*.  Out of curiosity, I looked up the meaning of the name &quot;Hussein&quot;.  It means &quot;good looking&quot;, or &quot;handsome small one&quot; or &quot;beautiful boy&quot;. 

So this moron is stressing that he thinks Barack is handsome!  Oooooh.  That will be bad for a presidential candidate, to have the opposition repeating frequently how goodlooking he is!</description>

					<description>&lt;i&gt;I think Satan is getting a little bored with the whole family business, by the way. He was saying he wanted to retire, maybe to Phoenix, Arizona.&lt;/i&gt;

Last I heard, he was living in &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer_(DC_Comics)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Perth, Australia.&lt;/a&gt;</description>
