		<description>And I suppose the nitwit won&#039;t even thank Syria for protecting our people.  Oh no.  Diplomacy is for sissies attitude is why we are so hated and he won&#039;t say thank you.
As for our gov.  Well, we brought you Daily, daily jr., dead people voting, Ryan, Hassert,  and the list goes on.  But, on the bright side, we brought you Paul Simon, Lincoln, Durbin, Obama, ect.  But, at least we are Democrats for the most part and can&#039;t hack into voting machines.  We just do dead people and crooked pols.</description>

		<description>#23, Blago is hardly a liberal.  He is a slightly (very slightly) left of center conservative Democrat.  In fact he pisses off many democrats in Illinois because he has done so many things that are usually Republican in nature.  He pisses off every republican in the state simply for being Democrat, even though he frequently acts (in policy) like one of them.

With the Reagan movie you insinuate that no research was done.  However the offending line about aids was actually taken from a Reagan biography.  I believe it was Dutch, but I am not positive. The movie was a dramatization whose greatest crime was that it did not paint Reagan as a god like figure.  Even before he left office there was a group formed to enhance his legacy their goal to get something named for him in every county in the US.  This was during Iran contra while he and his administration were essentially being exposed for their crimes.  Also with Path to 911 they distributed this thing to every right winger they could and the writer freely admitted that the point was to attack Clinton.  SO the movie was maid strictly for political purposes and they admit it.
With the last temptation, you obviously never saw it, nor apparently do you understand the premise, so why even bring it up?  Is it impossible for Christ to have been tempted by Satan while dying?  Remember in the movie he resisted the temptation, wait you can&#039;t remember if you did not see it.
Umm, the movie did not show that &quot;we were asleep at the wheel&quot; the movie says 911 is Clintons fault, period.  The movie portrays Bush as decisive, and heroic, and makes shit up continually.  Things like blaming the WAPO for a WATIMES story, why?  The times is conservative so you can&#039;t blame your friends.  It makes up meetings to make Bush look better, meetings that never occurred.  It makes Bush look as if he was concerned about terrorism from day one.  He was not.  He was concerned with missile defense, tax cuts, secret oil meetings, Puerto Rican firing ranges and looking for his political trifecta.  He was dead in the water on September 10th because nothing he was doing was in tune with what the people of this country wanted.   Path is billed as being base don truth when the pivotal scenes are all fiction, but more impotently they are fiction that the right peddles as truth in spite of the facts arrayed against them.  The right keeps bringing up F911 as if it is a proven pack of lies, yet not one fact in the movie has been debunked, and as if it is relevant to the discussion at hand.  Not everything is tit for tat or needs balance.  Truth is truth.
I personally think that if the Dems regain control of congress and even attempt to exercise oversight that 1) people Like Jones R will become publicly violent (i.e. some hated dem congressman will be assassinatedâ€¦I know a lot of unhinged right-wingers, also remember who the targets of the Anthrax letters were)  2) The right will never accept any findings 3) we will be attacked by terrorists once again.  Not because the dems are soft, but because the right, like they did during the Clinton years, will become extreme obstructionists.</description>

		<description>&quot;â€œA black man living in a high-crime American city can expect to live 21 fewer years than a woman of Asian descent in the United States,â€ according to a comprehensive new study&quot;

According to a misstated new study.

You left out the &lt;b&gt;&quot;on average&quot;&lt;/b&gt; after &#039;can.&#039;

Statistical studies do NOT predict the experience of a single member of a group. They predict the experience of an AVERAGE member of the group, which as a moment&#039;s thought will show, DOES NOT EXIST as such.

In a world with Rapepublican medievalism invading all quarters, please TP, be a bastion of science. Don&#039;t misstate studies for effect.</description>

		<description>Joneser - I wish someone would tell the truth about Reagan but I wouldn&#039;t go to some crappy docdrama to get it. The outcry over the film got it pulled I don&#039;t disagree with that at all - the outcry from the same people who foamed over F911 I note - a film with editorial (disputable) on top of facts (not disputable). Path and F911 are two different things altogether. you could avoid F911 easily, same as you can avoid any Mel Gibson historical film. Last Temptation? your comment suggests that you haven&#039;t seen it - you appear to have missed the point of that film. Besides the characters in that, if they existed, are long dead. Same as with the Passion. Besides, unlike Path and like F911 - Last didn&#039;t use public airwaves under the public trust to broadcast. Path clearly contained blatant invention designed to mold public opinion for political ends. It qualifies as propaganda - finito Benito.</description>

The outcry over the film got it pulled I don&#8217;t disagree with that at all &#8211; the outcry from the same people who foamed over F911 I note &#8211; a film with editorial (disputable) on top of facts (not disputable). Path and F911 are two different things altogether. you could avoid F911 easily, same as you can avoid any Mel Gibson historical film. Last Temptation? your comment suggests that you haven&#8217;t seen it &#8211; you appear to have missed the point of that film. Besides the characters in that, if they existed, are long dead. Same as with the Passion. Besides, unlike Path and like F911 &#8211; Last didn&#8217;t use public airwaves under the public trust to broadcast. Path clearly contained blatant invention designed to mold public opinion for political ends. It qualifies as propaganda &#8211; finito Benito.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=807342', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Tell me somethingâ€¦ i am curiousâ€¦ were you guys up in arms when they made a movie about Ronald and Nancy Reagan that did no research or interviews with them. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Nope, because the righties did all of that by themselves. (Bad punctuation)

&lt;blockquote&gt;Nor was he able to answer to them as he lay on his death bedâ€¦ and did they even sue or did the GOP right letters to try to get it off the air? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, the righties did just that. (Bad grammar)

&lt;blockquote&gt;
And were you up in arms when they made the Last Temptation of Christ dipicting Jesus having a fantasy about Mary Magdalen?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Why would we care when the public air waves were not used and people had to pay to go see it.

&lt;blockquote&gt;While we are are itâ€¦ were those evangelicals you so detest burning theatres down and killing people in the streets?
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No theaters burnt down or people killed, but neither was ABC or their board of directors.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Was the Catholic Church calling for law suits for defamation?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Or running on conspiracy?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Catholic Church is a conspiracy.


How old are you to not remember any of this stuff. Are you old enough to vote yet?</description>

		<description>Rod Blogojevich.  Holy crap.  I call him Governor Good-Hair.

This is what we have to choose from in Illinois:  We have a centrist Democrat who is slightly more liberal than his centrist Republican opponent, but is completely incompetent.  On the other side, we have a centrist Republican who is slightly more competent than her nit-wit centrist Democratic opponent.  And they are both up to their eyeballs in old-time Illinois politics.  Though, to be fair, Judy hasn&#039;t been investigated yet ... so far as we know.

It&#039;s slightly left vs. slightly competent here in the Land of Lincoln.  

Sigh.

But you wanna know what&#039;s really depressing?  Four years ago, Gov. (then U.S. Rep.) Good-Hair nearly lost the Democratic primary to Paul Vallas, the guy who singlehandedly saved the Chicago public schools, who was a genuine reformer, was as competent as the day is long, and was undoubtedly more progressive than Blogo any day.

But, hey, at least we Barak Obama over &lt;em&gt;Alan Friggin&#039; Keyes&lt;/em&gt; as our senator.

So, we got that goin&#039; for us.  Which is nice.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&quot;he had to go to the bathroom.â€ &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;em&gt; â€œHe looked like he was going to cryâ€&lt;/em&gt; 

The young people were very perceptive because the fool still looks the same way.   Albeit for a different reason--now he looks like he just went to the bathroom--in his pants-and is crying for his Momma.</description>

&lt;em&gt;    The FBI is investigating allegations that Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL) awarded a woman a job in return for a personal check her husband wrote to one of Blagojevichâ€™s children. Blagojevich claims the $1,500 check was a â€œgift for his daughterâ€™s 7th birthday.â€

String this guy up with the republican criminals.

â€œYouâ€™re fired!â€ &lt;/em&gt;

You liberals are all alike. Every time a Republican does something the slightest bit unethical you go on the attack. But when it&#039;s one of your own, y....
