- FemaCampBoy, on 04/17/2008, -11/+53it appears they gave Obama the ron paul treatment tonight. ABC is a bunch of garbage pretending to be a news station.
- romistrub, on 04/17/2008, -1/+9That actually gave me a pretty funny mental image...
- rpayne656, on 04/17/2008, -1/+0Y...yes...'scuse me...ma'am. I've...I've never done this before. Uh...h...how much for a Ron Paul?

- jarogers, on 04/17/2008, -6/+33This debate, no wait. This attack, referred to as a debate got my blood boiling. I have had it with the negative crap the Mass Media and HRC are spinning! It’s time to get on the subjects that have a real impact and get off the unnecessary crap that will not and does not make a difference in our real lives.
- ruyen, on 04/17/2008, -8/+35here here
This wasn't a debate, it was a smear campaign against the democratic party as a whole.- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -10/+5How was it a smear campaign against the whole democratic party? The moderator was Bill Clinton's former press secretary. Just because someone doesn't throw out softball questions doesn't make it a "Smear Campaign" its called being unbiased which I guess most people on digg are not used to.
- SaperKain, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1Why are so bitter the unbiased one?
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1because instead of asking questions like "so what wonderful things are you going to do in the whitehouse?" questions like "why do you associate with known terrorists?" come up. It blows my mind that people are all for a guy who accepts money and is good friends with a known terrorist that has bombed and killed people in the US.
- SaperKain, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Do you really believe this republican ***** spin?
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1because instead of asking questions like "so what wonderful things are you going to do in the whitehouse?" questions like "why do you associate with known terrorists?" come up.

- azpat, on 04/17/2008, -3/+4got through in three tries.
- ncurses, on 04/17/2008, -43/+18itt obama supporters are almost as bad as ron paul supporters
- azpat, on 04/17/2008, -5/+18This isn't about Obama.
- MrSir, on 04/17/2008, -3/+5it is about obama, and yes, they are. If they did that to clinton or mccain, there would be a story in its place saying how great ADC is.
- SEGA4life, on 04/17/2008, -48/+11wa,wa,wa, like a baby just because they said something bad about Obama....
Wait until we get closer and closer to the election then we'll move up to changing diapers.
don't forget diggnater.com....oops... diggobama.com- SEGA4life, on 04/17/2008, -17/+5diggnader.com* LMFAO
- pdxuser, on 04/17/2008, -4/+16No, I'm disappointed in the democratic process when it takes 63 minutes to get to the first policy question in a 90-minute debate. Flagpin-gate, Weather-Underground-gate, Bosnia-gate, Pastor-gate, Bitter-gate, question after question was scandal-of-the-day rehash and not anything that the voters ever say matters to them.
- Troy64, on 04/17/2008, -12/+7Questions of character are important and who you associate with says a lot about you. More and more we keep finding Obama has some very disturbing associations. He can't seem to cough without another one of these skeletons falling out.
- dinot, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1So we decide Presidents based on who candidates associate themselves with, as opposed to the merits of their work? Ok... let's play that game and pull out all the shady characters McCain and Clinton associate themselves with. That should be fun.
- Troy64, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1I would be happy to do this.
Obama's Skeleton's are the least of his problems. What he said about taxes and the economy scared me a lot more. Not to mention neither Hillary or Obama seam to understand that criminals don't buy their guns legally. That will help them in the general election. - Vician, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Nope, Criminals don't buy guns legally... they tend to buy guns illegally that are obtained from people that stole them from people who did obtain them legally. If you go read some of the last FBI reports on the issue, you'll see that most of the guns used in crime in this country were stolen from citizens with legal guns. Fact of the matter is, the US has a gun problem and we obviously need to do something about it. I don't care what, I don't particularly care who they piss off doing it, just so long as something is done.

- buhbyebot, on 04/17/2008, -2/+10You seem to be the only person on Digg that is amused by your posts. SEGA sucks by the way.
- romistrub, on 04/17/2008, -0/+4SEGA doesn't suck but I'm more than willing to change my opinion just to piss that ***** off. Yeah, I'm a child, what of it?
- thecrazyd, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Hey now, I expect some additional qualifications with that statement. MODERN Sega sucks. The Dreamcast era and previous were awesome.
- shawnanigans, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1If they say even ONE bad thing about Obama then it's *****. The media is supposed to be neutral and one baised statement makes everything they say less credible. Or at least it should.
- brad3378, on 04/17/2008, -19/+7Since that was a waste of time, here's an article about REAL issues.
http://digg.com/political_opinion/Obama_s_Blueprin ...- fletcherrr, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1You've spammed that article on about 15,000 other stories. I wish I could bury you a little deeper.
- brad3378, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1I just wanted to prove the point that Obama supporters don't care about the real issues.
I think I proved my point.
By the way, I don't support his platform (which is virtually identical to Hillary Clinton's)

- ssn697, on 04/17/2008, -10/+26I saw this debate as Obama saying the stupid questions aren't what America wants to talk about. He did that very successfully. Hillary looked like the one who wanted to play in the muck, again. Then I come to Digg, and it is Ron Paulians all over. They were mean to Obama?
Sigh...- pdxuser, on 04/17/2008, -5/+19No, they were mean to intelligence. You already admit they asked stupid question after stupid question. The first 63 minutes were policy-free. Not one question about health care, about the mortgage crisis or the state of the economy (though there was plenty of concern about capital gains taxes and taxes for people making $200,000).
- ssn697, on 04/17/2008, -4/+18Oh, the questions were definitely the ***** of all-time. I was hoping Obama was going to say "are you ***** kidding me? This is what you are asking me?" When they asked him if he believes in the American flag, my son and I both laughed out loud simultaneously.
Howard Stern could have done a better job...- Neoanarchist, on 04/17/2008, -1/+4Haha, I love Howard Stern. Well put comment. I can't even watch TV anymore, its bad for my blood pressure.
- ssn697, on 04/17/2008, -4/+18Oh, the questions were definitely the ***** of all-time. I was hoping Obama was going to say "are you ***** kidding me? This is what you are asking me?" When they asked him if he believes in the American flag, my son and I both laughed out loud simultaneously.

- buhbyebot, on 04/17/2008, -3/+11You're upset, I can see that in your posts. You are angry because a Black man is going to win the Democratic Nomination and quite easily win the White House from an Old Geezer with a bad temper. As a republican, this must make you beside yourself with anger. Want a huggy Wuggy?
- romistrub, on 04/17/2008, -0/+8"You are angry because a Black man is going to win the Democratic Nomination and quite easily win the White House from an Old Geezer with a bad temper."
You're part of the ***** problem. TVfilm is just a massive douche, don't pretend he has any sort of appreciable depth to his ramblings. - plhearn, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1He won't be winning anything after that horrible performance at the debate...
- romistrub, on 04/17/2008, -0/+8"You are angry because a Black man is going to win the Democratic Nomination and quite easily win the White House from an Old Geezer with a bad temper."

- Krisgi, on 04/17/2008, -5/+6I just got through, but 30 seconds is not enough time to voice ALL of my opinion. I will start writing emails and making phone calls right away. This BS should not be put up with.
Also complained about the Popular Vote Tally on the ABC News website. Has Obama ahead by only 100,000 votes! - ginestony, on 04/17/2008, -2/+7This is Madness!!

- bherring, on 04/17/2008, -3/+3If we could get folks to ban all products advertised on any ABC affiliate, that would get them to realize where their bread is buttered.
- timbofirstblood, on 04/17/2008, -0/+3Who exactly is going to "ban" those products. Do you mean boycott?
- DucoNihilum, on 04/17/2008, -1/+4This same thing happened with Ron Paul's 'censorship' on the MSM. You can tell the efforts surely paid off, as RP is now the expected republican nominee.
- Puisapres, on 04/17/2008, -21/+15How dare they ask Obama tough questions!!! How dare they!!!!! Oh noes!!!!
- romistrub, on 04/17/2008, -3/+13Those *weren't* tough questions! Those were non-sequiturs. This is ***** that some dumbass college student (like myself) could come up with given 9 minutes research and 15 minutes of pants *****. It's just pathetic.
- ArcherNX01, on 04/17/2008, -1/+3Ahh, those good ol' pants ***** days of college.
- Chebsi, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1Actually I just ***** my pants accidentally a few hours ago. You know when you think you're gonna fart, but then.. oh no.. here it comes.. no! *squirt*
- shadoweva09, on 04/17/2008, -2/+9There were no questions, just beating dead horses over and over again.
- zeusthemoose, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2Tough questions? Like why he doesn't wear his flag lapel pin??? Unbelievable.
- dinot, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2Tough? More like digging up dirt. This is a debate to choose the future leader of the free world and all you care about is IS HIS PASTOR MORE PATRIOTIC THAN HIM? WHY HE DOESN'T WEAR A FLAG PIN? THAT SHE EMBELLISHED WHILE TELLING AN ANECDOTE?
Put you people in a situation where you get to ask God, or George Washington, or Da Vinci only one question, and you'll ask them if they like chocolate.
- romistrub, on 04/17/2008, -3/+13Those *weren't* tough questions! Those were non-sequiturs. This is ***** that some dumbass college student (like myself) could come up with given 9 minutes research and 15 minutes of pants *****. It's just pathetic.
- thewump, on 04/17/2008, -9/+16If we Ron Paul guys can teach you anything it's that steps like this prove to be absolutely meaningless.
- z28com, on 04/17/2008, -2/+2Word to your mother, G!
If they didn't do this ass-pounding to RP, he would still be in the running. He was scammed by the media. I donated $$ to his compaign. Obama was my 2nd choice.- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -0/+3I do not understand how you could go from one of the most conservative candidates to THE most proven liberal candidate to ever run for office., it seriously makes me think you do not know anything about either candidate and that you have done zero research.
- rpayne656, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Amen!
Polar opposites.
//Ron Paul - rottencod, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1He can do it because the "liberal vs. conservative" schtick is old bollocks. At this point, I don't CARE whether the candidate is "liberal" or "conservative," I will vote for whichever candidate is more likely to break the back of partisan gridlock and "safe politics." I'm tired of every move in Washington being calculated by back-room deals and lobbyists. I'm tired of being expected to hate people with good ideas just because they're in another political party.
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Are you serious? You think the MOST liberal voting democrat is going to be the candidate most likely to break the partisan gridlock? John McCain has a LOT better chance of doing this then Obama John McCain is considered a VERY moderate conservative and has already done a lot in terms of working with both sides to come up with a solutions to the "partisan gridlock" Like I said NO research.
FYI your not expected to hate people with good ideas it just makes no sense for someone to support polar opposite candidates. I.E. one person for gun control and banning hand guns etc and one person very against that same idea. Do you understand what polar opposites are? That means that Ron Paul would vote Yes on an issue while Obama would vote No.
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Are you serious? You think the MOST liberal voting democrat is going to be the candidate most likely to break the partisan gridlock? John McCain has a LOT better chance of doing this then Obama John McCain is considered a VERY moderate conservative and has already done a lot in terms of working with both sides to come up with a solutions to the "partisan gridlock" Like I said NO research.
- jhbarr, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1They are also the two candidates most likely to end the war in Iraq. The biggest issue to a lot of people.
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1NEITHER candidate would be able to end the war in Iraq. I am willing to bet there are going to be troops on the ground in Iraq for at least the next 5-10 years. No matter who gets elected. We still have army bases in korea, japan, and germany. 50+ years later, you really think were just going to be able to pull out and leave if Obama gets elected? If you do you need a reality check and stop listing to what Obama says he will do and think about what he actually can do.
- rpayne656, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Amen!
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -0/+3I do not understand how you could go from one of the most conservative candidates to THE most proven liberal candidate to ever run for office., it seriously makes me think you do not know anything about either candidate and that you have done zero research.
- z28com, on 04/17/2008, -2/+2Word to your mother, G!
- SaulBey, on 04/17/2008, -1/+4good summary of the debate if you missed it
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/THE_Debate_Bulls ... - shugdoo, on 04/17/2008, -0/+6What a waste of resources. Using valuable airtime to rehash tabloid-worthy issues instead of delving into matters of substance is shameful. This was another shining example of the mainstream media's sprint towards irrelevance.
- Hetman, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1That's because they do not want to talk about issues. If they talked about issues neither Obama or Hillary would win the upcoming election.
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Yeah asking Obama why he had a terrorist (who bombed multiple places and said that he wish he would of bombed more after 9/11) host a campaign party for him is totally not an issue and tabloid *****. I am sure if Bin Ladin was hosting campaign fund raisers for mccain it would just be a "tabloid worthy issue" to you and total ***** if it came up in a debate right?
- shugdoo, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Dear AM-radio-loving individual,
Firstly, it's Bin Laden, and secondly, please read this article from the AP slowly (if you hit any big words just try to decode them using context) and decide whether you wish to continue your trollery: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j7cAG1TxjwCG7Xv ...- shugdoo, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Link too long, can be reached here: http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink ...

- shugdoo, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Dear AM-radio-loving individual,
- sgtpppr, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Issues don't sell advertising time. Drama does. They had to cancel or postpone a prime time 'drama' to air the debate, so they turned the debate into something that they believe the general public is interested in. I'm not sure what the lesson here is...either Americans are so stupid overall that this is what they want to see or if the MSM is so disconnected from the American public that this they believe we are all blind, deaf, and dumb sheep who need to be spoonfed soundbytes and drama.
- DucoNihilum, on 04/17/2008, -15/+8Obama isn't god? PROTEST!
- Dorke, on 04/17/2008, -3/+7lick my testiballs.
- z28com, on 04/17/2008, -5/+1No, he's Allah. Boooyaa!!
- Chebsi, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1Allah = God in Arabic
- lowspeedchase, on 04/17/2008, -1/+3Dude the issue is that the debate wasn't fair, there weren't any intelligent questions asked and ABC was generally being antagonistic: hoping for a fight and ratings.
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Yeah... asking someone that will be leading our country tough questions (like why do you associate with known terrorists and let them fund raise for you) is totally unfair. If anything this should of been a way for either candidate to shine and show how well they do under pressure. Instead it is a "oh poor" me story.
- yngtimmy, on 04/17/2008, -10/+13Doesn't taste good does it? Welcome to how a true conservative feels the other 364 days a year.
- fletcherrr, on 04/17/2008, -2/+5You should be fine; Fox broadcasts 24/7, I think.
- thallium205, on 04/17/2008, -1/+3Last time I checked FOX completely censored the only TRUE conservative in a debate....
- sgtpppr, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Fox news is not conservative. They simply use that term to sell their wares to a certain demographic. They are even more pro-big gov't than the democrats are. The only true conservatives left are libertarians and some independents. Fox news is a joke and bombing foreign countries, burning money faster than you can print it, and adding layer upon layer to an already bloated gov't are not conservative principles. Neither is questioning people's patriotism or loyalty to their country.
- inhaler, on 04/17/2008, -1/+3Explain. I always assumed "true" conservatives were more proponents of classical liberalism; guys cut from the same cloth as Barry Goldwater. Not neocons, "social" conservatives, etc - people who DON'T spend your money on frivolous overseas blunders (*cough* fiscal conservatives), think the American people are dumb enough to socialize the debt of poor business (risk) decisions, and espouse family values as a smoke screen for actual civil progress... I could go on..
So basically the other 364 days of the year you're upset with your party. The term RINO should be widespread for your kin - Republicans in name only. I'm not sure what they are now. That's not saying the democratic party is any better, but it sure as hell couldn't be any worse than the GOP.- jackmaninov, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1You guys really need to move beyond a two party system.

- Raiderkid6, on 04/17/2008, -13/+8The debate was good, Digg is just filled with a bunch of suckers and bandwagoners not being able to comprehend that it was Obamas worst debate.
- nathanbutnet, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2Hmmm... didn't see the debate, but judging by the comments I don't think this is about Obama having a bad debate but rather slanted questions? Perhaps I am mistaken.
- washins, on 04/17/2008, -1/+0The debate was NOT good. It's a flip flop of how MSNBC and CNN treated Clinton, now ABC gets to show which side they support. TV Journalism is dead as far as real journalism goes, it's all about the ratings and knee jerk reactions. Oh and don't forget spin.
- SaperKain, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1Where do you get your news? Saturday night life? MSNBC is the only network with some objectivity.

- nathanbutnet, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1Sadly I don't think they will care either. Probably will just get some advertisements in your ear while you wait on hold. The big corps don't seem to be listening or caring too much these days.
- JointVenture, on 04/17/2008, -11/+6So let me get this straight, its OK for Olbermann or Chris Matthews to mediate a debate but not Steph? Those guys are in the tank for Obama.
I wonder if ANYONE would have brought up Steph working for Clinton if it had been a Rep debate.
I wonder why people are pointing out he used to work for Clinton when Obama has several people on his campaign who used to work for Clinton.
Look at yourselves for a moment, look at the things you say and ASK about the republican candidates before you start crying for Obama.
Whats funny is he ***** up and you are all boo hooo hooooing like it was unfair, well guess what, you ain't seen nothing yet. If he cant handle that there is no hope for him.
You do realize you sound like a bunch of , well you know. Its a real turn off for people not emotionally invested in any of the candidates.
You come across as blind, almost cult like. Its spooky.
have a nice day- postalblowfish7, on 04/17/2008, -0/+3lolwut?
- Enuratique, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1"I wonder if ANYONE would have brought up Steph working for Clinton if it had been a Rep debate."
It would be irrelevant if it had been a Republican debate, a point you've missed entirely. The reason this is an issue is because of the CONFLICT OF INTEREST between one of the mediators and one of the participants of the debate. It would be like if you were on trial for murder, and your mom was on the jury. Look up jury nullification if you're so inclined.- JointVenture, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Nice try, but Obama has a few former CLINTON employees on his campaign.
Are they secret agents.
Its not relevant, Olbermann and Matthews are in the tank for Obama and they mediate debates and I don't see you saying jack *****.
Oh yeah, why didn't anybody raise HELL before the debate?
***** sore losers.
- JointVenture, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Nice try, but Obama has a few former CLINTON employees on his campaign.
- minorthreat, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2he ***** up? Who says so? FOX, ABC? Congratulations, you just believed an ear full of *****.. If Olbermann or Matthews asked the same retarded questions at Steph, then Im sure it would get the same amount of attention. Use your brain man... people are trying to help you, but they can't force absract and logical thikning skills.. If you force yourself to remain ignorant, you will always be...
- JointVenture, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1You wouldnt be upset if he had done well.
nuff said
- JointVenture, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1You wouldnt be upset if he had done well.
- Pstall, on 04/17/2008, -2/+2No kidding... if Obama cant handle the pressure of a simple debate and come out looking like gold then how is he going to handle the presidency when foreign countries are asking the tough questions instead of former democratic press secretary's?
- tjmb9, on 04/17/2008, -1/+5Just me but I think calling the OTHER MSM networks is a better idea. Then they will report on it. ABC will just want to cover up their mistakes.
- meese, on 04/17/2008, -3/+10When you call, **don't just complain about how they were anti-Obama**. Instead make the very valid argument that we, the voters, entrust in them to raise important issues, and they failed to bring up almost anything of real importance to us, and instead wasted the debate with Washington insider gotcha crap.
- jimfin25, on 04/17/2008, -7/+6Will whites riot in the streets if obama isnt elected?
- fleischner, on 04/17/2008, -7/+3I guess the shoe is on the other fool now. I mean... foot.
It's a good thing Obama will not be President. I'd hate to see him have to face a *real* crisis. - Uberpog, on 04/17/2008, -0/+9Despite the stupid questions, I think this debate proved once again how classy Obama is, and how Hillary Clinton is only in it for herself, and no one else. Obama could have railed her for the Bosnia comments but was too classy and gave her the benefit of the doubt on national television. I'm not crazy for Obama's policies but how can anyone think that Hillary Clinton is in this for America?
Actually, yes I'm going to ask that right now. What in gods name is the motivation for anyone to vote for that completely untrustworthy whackjob?- Uberpog, on 04/18/2008, -0/+2No, I don't want HIllary Clinton anywhere near the White House. She's as big of a NeoCon as the rest of them. I'm still of Draft Eligible age and I don't want her or McCain in any position to send me to Iran. Seriously, there will be no sucking of Hillary Clinton's dick on my part.
- thallium205, on 04/17/2008, -2/+3Wow are there enough ABC/Obama articles already? Give me a break you guys are worse than the Paulites! At least they didn't completely crop out a question or two like what they did with Paul!
- RJLaframboise, on 04/17/2008, -2/+5OK, honestly, what the hell? I understand the debate was garbage, but do we honestly need a dozen articles about ABC? This is getting ridiculous... Go ahead and voice your displeasure with ABC, but for the love of God, please stop flooding Digg with this crap!!!

Totally framed to slant for Hillary. - MrSir, on 04/17/2008, -2/+3It's a free country (well, until him or Clinton get elected), they can do as they please. but so can you. personally, i don't like Obama, or what he believes in and stands for. The more he talks, the more I dislike what he says. But thats automatic digg-down here. However, I agree the questions were kinda crappy, but if they asked it to anyone else, people on this website wouldn't care.
- ralph12c41, on 04/17/2008, -4/+2Asking tough questions = hatchet job (only if it's the Messiah Obama LOL)
- sugegcsu, on 04/17/2008, -0/+0I will be surprise if Oparh doesn't say/do anything about last night. Shame on you ABC.
- bjf182, on 04/17/2008, -2/+0Boy, MSM for _once_ treats Democrats the same way it treats Republicans and all heck breaks loose.
- sgtpppr, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1I hate to tell everyone, but ABC and the other MSM outlets are doing more damage to America than Scientology is and no one seems to really care. Democracy cannot work if you do not have an informed and educated voter base. The debate the other night just goes to show how far they're willing to push it to disenfranchise, sculpt votes, and use important elections as a tabloid push for ratings. I've seen more important issues addressed on Jerry Springer than this debate. The whole world is watching and this is what we look like to them. Embarrassing.
- SenorCardgage74, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2Listen to Stephanopolous get fed a ***** question from Sean Hannity.
A question he puts to Obama almost word for word....

- tommq, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1"ABC News has disgraced its credibility to the American people by concentrating its debate in trivial media gossip. The debate moderators have insulted the competency of the American people through its narrow and frivolous focus. The questions asked last night have no relevance to the critical issues of the 2008 election. Instead, they make a mockery of the role of the media which is supposed to serve the public by rigorous investigating and comparing the legitimacy of political platforms. ABC News last night epitomized the corporate approach to coverage: the regurgitation and evocation of despite public disinterest in the decadent endeavor. The American public is displeased with this. We reject the attempt by ABC News to value ratings over journalism. We expect more from the watchdog entity. In response, we will boycott the ABC Network and its affiliates until the integrity of journalism is reestablished in the company."

- Vician, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1So for all of you that hate Obama, or Hillary, or Democrats as a whole, you honestly think the thing last night as unbiased and debate-worthy? Do you honestly give a ***** if Obama wars a flag pin or not? Do you honestly care that his pastor went on a small rampage and happened to say god damn America, which I don't see anything wrong with. (Why can't we say goddamn America? We certainly say God Bless America and that's just as ***** stupid.) Do any of us care that Hillary lied about Bosnia anymore? Do we really care that he happens to know a guy that was a "terrorist"? Hell, I'd rather him TALK to the ***** guy so he doesn't blow ***** up anymore. Making friends of your enemies is a lot better than the alternatives, no? Maybe we wouldn't kill so many people if we practiced that one a bit more...
The fact of the matter is, last night's debate was a continuation of the tabloid-ism of the Journalism in the United States. It's not enough we're hated in the world that now we have to look utterly stupid and without any ethics what-so-ever. I don't give a damn what your party affiliation is, you can't honestly say the debate last night was anything but *****. - djericho, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2Oh geez guys... Boo F***ing hoo....
Get a back bone, its true what Obama said. You think the Republicans won't do a smear campaign against whomever the Democratic nominee is. Are you guys that short memoried what they did to Gore and Kerry? all the Ron Paul and now Obama facists are making it hard for me to like the guy and trust me I WANT TO... I hate what the Right did to this country. They down right sold it out. I lost tech jobs to overseas and am in constant competition because my company wants to bring over workers from overseas because our educational system down right sucks!!!
yet you guys constantly attach hillary, how about attacking the republicans? I think EVERY little thing doesn't have to be rehashed... look what you guys are doing to Hillary with the constant Digg posts, just spamming the site that the front page looks like Obama's campaign headquarters... yet the min he's attacked you guys cry like a schoolyard bully who got stood up to. I'll support whoever the democratic nominee is because they are the lesser of the two evils and this country is on the wrong track, and the Obama spammers aren't helping.
