1. While I often agree with you on most of your points, I would ask that you refrain from the "mental" nonsense.
It's a word no different than "nigger" or "spic" or "gook."
Unless you wnat to be relegated to the bigots who scream "muslim" and try to connect someone to an "evil religion."
That's what you're doing. Your use of mental is no different. People have psychological problems. You are using a word that would lump all in a category. All "mental" people should be disregarded? All "mental" people are dangerous?
You are becoming what you profess to oppose.

2. Like so taken out of context and yesterday's news. You are just spewing like Cenk now Ana.

3. Cenk-this is a better one about Senator Joe Biden who had to drop out of a Presidential race because of his behavion.
Biden will forever be the man who couldn’t even give an original speech, but had to plagiarize chapter and verse from a speech made by England’s Neil Kinnock. Lest anyone think that it was just a one-time deal, Biden had also plagiarized a law review article when he was attending Syracuse Law School. Compounding the sin, once, when asked how he had fared at Syracuse, Biden, not wishing to be seen as a braggart, modestly said that he’d graduated in the top half of his class. He had in fact graduated 76th in a class of 85. As Winston Churchill once said of Clement Attlee, “He’s a very modest man. And with good reason.”
It was this little character flaw that forced Joe Biden to withdraw from the race for Democratic Nomination for President in 1987. Now Joe Biden is well and writing his own speeches and telling the truth.

4. From believing in this witchcraft nonsense to actually bringing up book banning as a Mayor at a city council meeting (on the taxpayer's dime), I have to question whether Palin is operating with both oars in the water.

5. Enough of this discrimination against witches! It was the witches who killed off the dinosaurs 4000 years ago!

Name one book Palin advocated banning. No, that porn you read isn't qualified as a book so SOL.

8. It would be wonderful to rewind Cenk's life frame by frame & let him defend his past actions. We'd all have a lot to account for.
Did Palin understand entirely this preacher was going to revoke spirits from her? She didn't utter a word as the man laid his hands on her. Cenk seems to have the answers to the entire universe, he truly is an enlightening scholar who understands all with his secular mindset. I don't recall him admonishing another reverend cursing the entire country from his pulpit. Wasn't that a form of spiritual damnation? I suppose that was different.
If you ask me, this whole election has turned into a witch hunt....

9. Cappy-still shoveling the long-debunked dinosaur reference? Losing your touch?

10. Birdman, your lack of reading comprehensions would be astonishing if you weren't a brain-dead republitard.

11. IF YOU HAD HALF OF A BRAIN CELL..YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IN THIS GUYS CULTURE..THE WORD WITCHCRAFT IS USED TO SYMBOLIZE EVIL. NOT HEBJEBI VOO-DO. YOU ARE JUST ONE WACKY SICK FUCK. SO CRAZED WITH YOUR LIBERAL BUTT FUCK LOONY TUNE BRIAN FARTS. THAT YOU CANT SEE PAST ALL THE GOO YOU SADLY SUBSTITUTE FOR A BRAIN. POOR PATHETIC MAN...HAVE YOU GIVEN THOSE 4H GIRL THEIR MONEY BACK THAT YOU STOLE FROM THEM YET?

12. Yo, dead-punk-ass-bitch!
What's the matter? You're just attacking me. You aren't defending Sarah and the witch doctors. You're letting your neo-fascist, fellow travelers down.

13. PRESIDENT Palen. ????? The only reason she is where she is, is that she is loved by the bible thumpers.
Almost half the population is getting more and more stupid. No wonder we are becoming the laughing stock of the world

14. Wow, that's a little on the freaky side, not just the witches but praying for financial blessings. Didn't Jesus refuse riches in favor of doing good deeds? Washing beggars feet, counseling prostitutes, throwing the money-changers out of the temple, I guess Sarah believes in a different God. And all you repukes think it's OK to have this woman a step away from the presidency? Racist much? Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to have our Christian Taliban as a counter force to the Afghan Taliban, you know, match nutty against nutty. First dude Todd letting Alaska secede so he can turn it into his own little empire, Have redneck-in law Levi kickin' ass and shootin' sh*t out on the west lawn after he and the first daughter get hitched. Oh yeah, Sarah's going to make a great VP and possible Pres. ...." I can see Russia and Witches from a little island in the Bering sea!" Whoopty-do!

15. Generally I hate to insult needlessly, but I got to say, The Young Turds are so partisan as to render any opinion they may have as irrelavant.
Now please give me a moment to appologize to all the turds out there. I understand it is a severe insult compairing you to these Young Jerks.
Crap, now I gotta appologize to all the jerks out there. SORRY!
