Steve Wilder of Omaha Nebraska woke up suffocating due to complications from throat cancer. The radiation treatments he received years ago resulted in scar tissue, which Wilder says left him with a "shrunken throat." But he decided to take matters into his own hands when he grabbed a steak knife and made a quarter-inch incision that saved his life. Watch the video for more details!

1. Ana : A quarter inch incision is not "slitting one's throat." The gentleman performed a emergency medical procedure on himself. He did not slit his throat. He recognized a problem and he had sufficient medical knowledge to implement a solution.

2. Cenk...you know not what you speak. Please do your research before you comment on subject you know nothing about. "This cancer patient DID NOT SLIT his throat but rather perform a life saving procedure....a small opening. Geez

3. he's training for a future career as a muslim terrorist, but couldnt find you that day and did it to himself instead.

4. He'll probably be brought up on charges of "practicing medicine w /o a lic".

5. Hey there Ana K.
What the heck, did you grab that headline off the Huffinton Post?
Willet at 1:54PM on May 10th 2008
6. Hmmm... The guy took a knife, and he cut a slit in his throat.
So, for all you mouth-breathing retards, if he puts such a slit in his throat, it's safe to say he slit his throat.
Man... You freakin' pathetic idiots are really stretching in your petty little quest to criticize. Perhaps while you're drooling over the dictionary while looking up the words "slit" and "throat," maybe you should swing by the letter "L" and look up the word "life."
Maybe it will help you get one, okay?
Really... You dopes are griping about semantics in a comically feeble attempt to tear someone down so as to boost your own worthless egos.

7. Some people were just born to bitch.
Captain Negative at 4:48PM on May 10th 2008
8. Aye, Captain!
I think Cenk should do something with his shoe untied and send these Gomers into crippling, apoplectic fits of stupidity.
I can see it now: "Oh Cenk! How can you be telling us Bush is a bad president when you are walking around with your shoe untied!?!?"
All they gave are an endless stream of ad hominems, and they are just too god damned stupid to stay on topic for one freakin' second. It's astounding they don't kill themselves getting out of bed in the morning while trying to decide whether to make coffee before taking a leak or vice-versa.
Seriously, though, I applaud Cenk and Ana and others who can tolerate such gleaming stupidity for any length of time. It's got to get pretty damn old, pretty damn quick, constantly having to shovel through the mindless inanity of these witless trolls in order to have even a brief conversation regarding the topic at hand.
That's why I tend to avoid commenting here. The discussions fly off the rails usually within the first five comments, and from then on, it's just meaningless prattle from idiots who would rather attack the messenger than actually debate the message. I honestly don't know how you can put up with it. You must have the patience of a freakin' saint, Captain.

9. We should be so lucky as to have Cenk try this! However, I WILL have to congratulate The Young TURD for FINALLY having a worthwhile story to post.

Dan
The "meaningless prattle" usually come from your "hero," Cenk. I mean, c'mon, "Bears Dancing on The Moon" was a substantive story? You must be smoking some of the same chit as The Young TURDS, Dan!

11. I'm just fascinated by the mutual admiration society between the Captain and Dan. At least this time Cap was short in describing most of the left with his comment.
Dan however, pens two epistles, the first is a rant over semantics while Dan is still debating the meaning of "is". Dan ignores the fact that "slitting one's throat" is usually done to render the slittee lifeless. Even Cenk and Ana referred to it as an "incision." Dan can take an incision and through deft use of semantics turn it into "slitting" rather than the correct term of incising but Dan is good at subtle twists like that.
In his second post, Dan dercies ad hominem attacks by other posters, yet both of his posts are filled with them. Can we say hypocrisy Dan? Personally, both you and Cap write rather well, but your content is usually rather vitriolic towards those other posters who dare to disagree with Cenk. Okane can hold his own against both of you.
As for the actual topic of this post, it should have been filler on the five o'clock news, not a blog on AOL, although that in itself is not surprising. Cenk should give himself more credit, choking to death will overcome fear of a tracheotomy done by ones self, but then again, maybe not.
Lighten up Dan, if Obama gets to be president things will really be fun then. Air Amerika will probably get govt. funding as a propaganda outlet.
BTW, did Randi find a job yet?

--------------------------------
Yes! Here is my favorite example of the Okane style. Calm, reasonable and not an ounce of vitriol!
My favorite is the "turd in a bucket of slime" reference and the advisory about it being okay to attack Nancy McCain. That last one must have come from the days when he was an active OBBAMA VOTER.
---------------------------------------------------
Cenk
Just when I had thought you could not get any lower into the slime bucket, you have disproved me again by going after an 83 yr old woman.
Barbara Bush has nothing to do with nothing with this years election. She was a first lady in the White House some 15 years ago. If you want to mock someone, try McCains wife who is active in support of her husband, or even McCain's kids, but an 83 year old woman.
And this phoney front you put making it seem like your care about US Troops is pathetic. You could care less that 4000 have died, you would have preferred 10,000 US Troop deaths in Iraq.That would give you more numbers to work with. The best you came to honoring military fighting men is when you praised the members of the Turkish Army. They
are brave and fierce fighters, but among the most brutal in the whole world. Your heros. Then you could not pass up showing the cell phone video of 2 people in military uniform throwing a puppy off a cliff. Then that video was made public right away by the makers. HMMMM that was a great chance for you make American Troops look bad with a video
that has yet to be proven if it was a fraud or not.
Michele Obama is the wife of a man running for the position of President of the USA. What she says is relevant to the present Presidential Primary and should be open to criticism. Barbara Bush deserves respect for her age and her prior position as first lady.
Cenk you have again proven you are nothing more than a large turd in a bucket of slime.
