obnoxious, and dumb, but tolerable… thinking back, it could’ve been that it’s
anti-islam hate speech may have gotten serious…
not sure of it’s original incarnation that evidently had been banned…

Boy, trying to read through this troll fest was very interesting. It looks like a lot of posts were deleted because people frequently refer to the post number that is ahead of the actual posters post number. What happened here?

what causes this malady? is it as simple as being mis/un-informed?

Willfully mis-informed. They know they’re getting a selective editing of the news – that’s why they watch Fox. No other network consistently reinforces their stereotypical thinking – and with neato graphics!

…… Zoom! Flash! Boom! Fox News!……

this hidden little speech from 13 years ago, uncited by the Admiral.

This is perhaps the most disturbing factor of the whole controversy.
For McCain and his speech-writer pal to be rehashing concepts so far out of date clearly demonstrates a delusional and archaic mindset.

i see 40ish comments are scrubbed… but not this one:

“If you kill your gardener and I kill my gardener, it doesn’t make your actions any less murderous because I did so as well.”

these people crack me up… have you heard this one? … from C&L:

“I’m sure at some point Jeffrey Dahmer ate peanut butter sandwiches doesn’t make the fact that he ate people any less wrong.” -elizabeth hasselbeck

what causes this malady? is it as simple as being mis/un-informed?

what’s WRONG with these people???

The comments on this site are a stark example of groupthink. Any divergent comment or thought is ridiculed or pushed away in order to reinforce the status quo.

Fried baloney. I took TP to task for it’s error almost immediately, and I’ve been here since TP was founded. I challenge you to post any one of my comments that remotely resembles groupthink.

Just one.

Or apologize, for making such an obviously ridiculous statement.

Of course the articles are not favorable to the right, if people want a pure news feed with any mention of politics they can use Google news or something.

Remember when BillO said there were no homeless people under the bridge in New Orleans?

No, I don’t and nobody does.

Keep up the good work, TP. This is a CREDIBLE site, heck most everything is just from the major newspapers but finding the most eye-popping articles and saving TP readers time. There’s hardly any opinion or editorializing.

YOU are the fact-checker, it’s too bad you didn’t find this hidden little speech from 13 years ago, uncited by the Admiral.

I agree, third party.
This is a common mis-direction ploy.

It was probably intentional that Fox said “thinkprogress.com”; after all, why direct people to your actual page when they can slam you and then try to limit the web hits you get in response?

> Unfortunately, it is belied by the fact that ThinkProgress >has yet to acknowledge its error of March 17 when it >embarrassingly confused Ayman al-Zawahiri with Abu Musab al->Zarqawi

how about that time your heroes “embarasingly” confused saddam with someone who had WMD’s and ties with Al-queeda?
