    Jane,
    The great song and dance swindle of Corpbama makes for an intriguing narrative. I’m curious — ever touch bases with someone like FRONTLINE? This kind of thing seems right up their alley.

    And what is the corporate game she is playing, simples? She has exposed the Koch Bros., Dick Armey, Rick Scott, most of the John Ensign scandal, etc., etc., etc.

    What is this insidious corporate game she is playing, praytell?

    Gee, I missed a letter. I’m ashamed all over. Thank you for your diligence, Amy. I’ll sleep much better now.

    So, the best we have is not good enough, so let’s trash her. That the game plan?

    I understand. It kind of fits your whole approach: Read ~~~Edited by Moderator~~~

    Well, gosh, I guess I did show you. Because if you really did think independently, you’d know that I was talking about the method of execution for achieving an objective, rather that partisanship. I guess allowances must be made for the ~~~Edited by Moderator. Do not insult other commenters.~~~ ~~~Mod Note: Everybody dial back the heat~~~ [...]

    I know this might be asking too much (or is it ~redacted~ in your world?), but could you please tell me who on televsion provides more substance and “chunks” than Rachel Maddow?

    I would be forever grateful.

    Okay, genius. Since you obviously have nothing of import to contribute, I’ll elaborate. Here’s the premise, as has been interminably repeated in the comments of this post: the Democratic party and Rachel Maddow are corrupt, therefore both should be abandoned. That cover it? This is a completely fucking ludicrous position for several reasons: 1) it [...]

    Any half-witted asshole can stand off at a distance and tear somebody down. Let’s see some better examples before we go tarnishing our betters.

    One problem with most of your examples: THEY’RE DEAD. The rest are debatable at best and shows that you’re grasping at straws. Olbermann spawned Maddow, on TV anyway, and I think even he might disagree with you. Kucinich has nowhere near the sway she does. And who, besides you and a few faithful, even know [...]

    And people wonder why the left can’t stay organized. I read all this puffed-up self-righteousness about Rachel Maddow — are you people out of your fucking gourds? Who has done more than Rachel to advance the banners of the left? And you gutless whiners who want to slime her for abandoning Olbermann — why don’t [...]

    All wars are quests for peace. This irony results in another: those credited with the attainment of peace are often the very ones responsible for the greatest bloodletting in its pursuit. Civilization cannot mature until it rejects the fallacy behind both these premises.

    Kudos to an excellent article, David.

    The Manning cause could very well be transformed into a nexus. Does it not represent the essence of the conflict: power suppressing truth and freedom of speech to hide its corruption? It’s as good an opportunity as is likely to come along, is it not?

    USCorps sees Tunisia as a small lump on a large breast. Since USC doesn’t engage in long term thinking, the best thing to do is powder it over and hope it’s benign.

    All of you who haven’t read ‘The Mendacity of Hope’ by Roger Hodge, I urge you to make a beeline to the bookstore. Or library.
