Ruthella10 starts by saying Zuckerman is biased against Obama. Did you miss the fact that he endorsed Obama, voted for him, and raised millions for him? You're so sure that anyone that says anything against Obama is biased. Newsflash - we're against his economic policies, we're against central control of the economy, we're against bashing business without doing the same for the government policies that enabled business in the first place, and finally we're against turning America into a socialist country.
Nothing more.

Zuckerman has had a thing against Obama from day 1. His biased reporting has not gone unnoticed. what a small and petty little man! Too bad this little jerk has such a powerful position.

What's the big deal...So Zuckerman wrote speeches for the president. As I recall Ben Stein and Pat Buchannan wrote speeches for the Nixon White House.
Is this truly an issue given the fact the status of the National Debt, unemployment, BP, and the Financial Reform Bill that Congress has foisted on us? Please, let's not lose the laser like focus we need to defeat this Democratic administration in the next two elections, by getting distracted by this nonsensical non-issue.

Chris (tingle up my leg) Matthews wrote the speech that Mort supposedly helped write. Really,I mean really.

Damned globalists are nothing but a bunch of evil liars!! Hope you all hang from the tallest tree for what you have done to America and the rest of the world.

From the Daily Kos? You would believe Stalin had independent studies that showed the benefits of communist fascism and ethnic cleansing.

Its obvious the last two posts were posted by the same person.
When Progressives/Liberals/Socialists (There all the same take your pick) can't compete in the "arena of ideas" (or intelligence for that matter) they resort to personal attacks. Unfortunately for them this has gotten old fast and is such a cliche that it doesn't generate anger, its now quite funny... The same predictable diatribes of "racism", "bigot", blah blah blah... of which my reply is.. "prove it".. and of course again.. more ad hominum "racism", "bigot", blah blah blah... and now their diatribes sound like the proverbial whining in the liberal NY "metro-sexual" sense (That they actually have a term for it now as a "sexual orientation" is amazing to me).
Oh and about the DailyKos? Goebbels would be proud at the amount of fanciful propaganda that is passed off as "fact" without a shred of genuflection or civility.
Face it... The Socialization of America is falling apart around your "collective" ears because in all the scheming by the left, it hadn't occurred to them that their propaganda tools will suddenly no longer work or the people don't believe what they are told anymore. Lenin himself had a term for those that supported Socialism... he called them "useful idiots". Now does that sound like a "tolerant" description for one's own supporters? Odd that point of view is still held today by Liberal Democrat "elites" about those in certain "blue state" strongholds.
Amazing how that seems to be a "collective" mental disorder among those who gravitate to large cities with amoral cultures chanting "Free Moomia" or "Viva Che'" without even thinking to understand just what they are supporting... they just believe what they are told.

Really now...
Only because the republicans didn't listen to Rush, their loss.
BTW, independent audit show that >99.5% of what Rush and Glenn say is verified and true. Unfortunately the left really doesn't get what Rush is all about.

Fascists? Tebagger Lies? You need an education. Where are you from, Chicago? Wake up and learn to read and think FREEDOM and not Socialism. I guess all of you on welfare want this obama crap to continue so you never need to provide for yourselves.
