		<description>I would really like to believe that we are.

If not, that what the hell can we claim to be?

We stand at a dangerous precipice, with too many voices raised in incoherent shrieks.  When one is pushed, the natural inclination is to push back, until one is left as the champion of ideals that would seem ludicrous in clearer moments of thought.  That is where we seem to be at present, and it is terrifying.  &quot;An eye for an eye&quot; may seem cliche, but it is true none the less.  I question whether, given our present state, we can ever revert to a state of consideration and reasoned discourse.  Though we may never have achieved purity on this end, but there was a point where at least the illusion existed over the exultation of willful ignorance and bitter derision that we now claim as our cultural masthead.

I am personally at a loss as to the solution to the problem, a route to our collective salvation.  I, like everyone else that has ever lived, have a personal agenda-beliefs, thoughts and feelings that inform my existence and motivate my actions-but above all else I hold nuance in the highest regard.  There is always another side, one that feels as strongly and believes as fervently in the righteousness of their cause as I.  The only way that I can justify my opinion is to assert it as just that-my opinion-and allow the other side the opportunity to do the same.  

I suggest that we argue not on conjecture, which is subjective, but on fact, which is not.  Wherever we end up then, we must be willing to agree to disagree.  You will never sway someone with fact who steadfastly refuses that fact&#039;s veracity, and you are cheapened if you allow yourself to be enveloped in an unnecessary battle of triviality.

But, that&#039;s just my opinion.</description>

		<description>Okay, now that this has been blown apart as a complete fabrication, I really think that the way we collectively address the issue needs to be tempered.  Be clear that I am in no way, shape or form condoning what has happened with this girl, nor am I advocating for anything less than full punishment as the law allows.  But, as someone who has spent my life fighting mental illness in and out of psych wards, I would urge caution to everyone who is going after Ashley Todd on a personal basis.  

None can argue that what she did was anything less than a reprehensible, toxic act designed to vilify Obama supporters as a whole, through the specter of the &quot;large, scary black man.&quot;  However, there needs to be a distinction between the vile manifestation of Todd&#039;s personal issues and the uproar that those issues generated, and a moment lent to consider the context in which this has played out.

Regardless of her reasoning, Todd&#039;s story was breathlessly spoon fed to various media outlets by McCain staffers who repeated the unfounded allegations (which were regarded with skepticism by the authorities from the start), where they quickly found their way to the front pages and chyrons of top right wing media outlets.  The story was used to fan the fires of animosity already smoldering and justify the noxious vitriol flowing from the gullets of the Republican machine.

The focus on Ashley Todd, in the sense of the overall narrative, is misplaced.  The 24 hour networks, the Republican network, the McCain/Palin campaign all stood to gain from this story were it true-and even if it really wasn&#039;t.  

We do ourselves a disservice when we &quot;shoot the messenger,&quot; as Todd did little more than attempt to make real the hatred that has, for the most part, existed only in frantic shouts at rallies and hushed-tone insinuations from soulless operatives.

We are better than that.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.&lt;/i&gt;

Only now they realise the McCain crowd has engaged in race-baiting? 

What about all the times they spread the smear that Obama is Arab, not American, and or Muslim? Or the times they called Obama &quot;uppity&quot;? 

As far as I am concerned, the McCain campaign were &lt;i&gt;already&lt;/i&gt; linked to race-baiting.</description>

		<description>Here is a real race crime, reported in this week&#039;s Amsterdam News, NY, NY:  &lt;strong&gt;Heinous dragging death in Texas&lt;/strong&gt;.

A 24 year old man was run down and run over to the point his body was dismembered and pieces were still be retrieved when the police were rushing to coverup the story.  www.amsterdamnews.com - this week&#039;s edition.

As for that woman - &quot;a black man did it&quot; - she should have the book thrown at her.</description>

Todd told police that while she did not remember how the backward &quot;B&quot; got on her face, she may have done it herself since she was the only one in the car.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

No one can look as stupid as this woman.  Remember how long it took Tania Harding to live it down?  And she didn&#039;t even involve race or politics.

This is Tania Harding Politics.  This is the John Mccain Campaign 2008 in a nutshell.</description>

		<description>What does it say about Fox News&#039; VP that he would think that (now confirmed phony) attack would actually change the election? McCain&#039;s campaign has been over for weeks now. This incident, even if it was real, was not going to change the way people vote.

These guys really do think we&#039;re a bunch of idiots. Yeah, I&#039;ve followed the news, watched all the debates, etc., and made my decision to vote Obama.....wait, what? Some chick got a black eye and a backwards B scratched on her face? By a BLACK man no less???? That&#039;s it, I&#039;m 100% in support of McCain now!!! (end sarcasm) Yeah, that was going to happen. In the Fox News fantasy-distraction-land maybe.</description>

Well I, for one, would not find it at all inappropriate if hundreds of thousands of voters went to the polls wearing a backwards B on their faces…

I think it’s a symbol that sums up this whole vicious, ugly campaign.

 If they do, they will look as stupid as she does. I hope they do. I also hope some wear black face. Now that&#039;s support!</description>

Good job, fool, you brownshirt, jackboot, scum sucking, neanderturd, moron, go suck an egg

Absolutely classless remark that’s unfortunately par for the course from the vitriolic inconsequential fringe reich-wing

Those are not my words, Dr. H.M. Those are your friend Bucky Boy’s words directed at me. I would never insinuate that anyone here were a Nazi, not even a moo-cow lemming conformist like you.

 Dr Dufus has class? He wishes the death of posters spouses.

  This incident is not going to change this election. The November Obama suprise that&#039;s coming, will however. Prepare!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Nettles,
I tend to chime in when I find some of the comments lacking in either fact or accountability, which I believe have picked up as we&#039;ve inched closer to Nov 4.&lt;/em&gt;


You are fake and are only concerned with facts when it comes the the dem party. You&#039;re a walking contradiction.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;McWars Says:

&lt;strong&gt;I find it bizarre that McCain and Palin actually called the young woman before her story could hold.&lt;/strong&gt; I don&#039;t know the motive of the calls, but since this campaign has been licking crumbs off the counter I have to suspect they were looking for another Obama attack point. How could I rule it out? This campaign has been in the gutter for weeks.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Damn that is very strange. And very coincidental.

&lt;i&gt;Yeah, the Left should just resort to craving “M”s in our faces and make-up induced black-eyes.&lt;/i&gt;

Yeah.  At least that way, we won&#039;t get tripped up using the mirror image....  ;-)

Cheers,</description>
