        • Wonkanobi, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2I wish I could digg this twice. Funniest comment I've heard in a while.
        • rentmitchum, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3lol I wanted to type an example but ran out of edit time before I thought of anything clever. Thanks for doing it for me Mutton. Props on having the name Mutton. Mutton and Mitchum make a good team.
          • Mutton, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1For realz. We should totally star in an 80's buddy cop show.

          • toytoyota, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2It's almost as bad as Coheed and Cambria CD titles.
  • mark076h, on 05/10/2008, -20/+6does anyone want to start a group with me and game digg to get McCain articles to the front page?
  • rodgerse, on 05/10/2008, -21/+9I've said it before and I'll say it again, HUFFPO IS PROBAMA, FAR LEFT-WING LIBERAL CRAP.WHY DOES DIGG KEEP HOSTING IT TO THE FRONT PAGE????.

    Don't get me wrong, fox news is bad, but huffpo is no different and its obvious bias to keep linking to it...

    Why can't we hear the truth withought the bias filter from huffpo?.
    • hmunkey, on 05/10/2008, -3/+12It keeps coming on the FP because diggers want it there. That's how Digg works, did you notice?
      • Caeili, on 05/10/2008, -7/+3It is going to be so much fun to come here & laugh at you obama bots once he loses.
        • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -2/+5What makes you think Senator Obama is going to lose?
        • ArchangelZLT, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3The same thing that makes him think McCain will save America by sending more Americans to die in Iraq.
        • Wartyboskfapped, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Bring it. Put your money where your mouth is.
          Anyone can win against McCain. Anyone.
        • xedd, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2"Anyone can win against McCain. Anyone."

          That's what we thought back in 04, with Bush. Same ***** is going to happen again. The GOP candidate will win, and all the serious questions about our election process and its integrity will be swept under the rug. I hope I'm wrong, and I will vote like things are okay, but damn, I fear for this country,because there is a ton of ***** going on behind the scenes.
    • ArchangelZLT, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Um, I don't get it. So Huffington is biased, and Senator Clinton will somehow miraculously reverse the will of Democrats and win the battle. Is that the neutral one?
      • rodgerse, on 05/10/2008, -1/+0they praised him like an angel well before he was presumtive nominee..seriously, its the only reall probama blog.
    • jgzman, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Digg makes no claim to show 'the truth' or to tell an unbiased story. It shows what people vote for. If that shows a liberal bent, that's probably because most of us are liberal.
      • rodgerse, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1Maybe I'm missing something...who chooses whats on the front page, ppl or digg????.
  • gsxrjason, on 05/10/2008, -2/+9At this point I think the super delegates are just trying to get Clinton to leave on her own so they don't look like they're pushing her out, because that might ***** off some of her voters.
  • taradisiac, on 05/10/2008, -19/+14huffingtonpost = liberal spam.
    • CyberInferno, on 05/10/2008, -5/+2So thus it's not appropriate for it to post about liberal issues?

      If you think that's true (not agreeing with you), then this should be the perfect topic for it to discuss.
    • FLUX, on 05/10/2008, -5/+5no he is saying the huffington post ranks right up there with the daily kos and think progress in telling lies and spinning the truth to reach their liberal objectives
      • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -3/+4Can you give us some examples of these lies?
    • stonewaljacksn, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3I for the most part am a liberal and this site is just Ridiculous. it's the kind of liberal site that makes liberals look bad.
      • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -4/+2Yeah, I was thinking that a guy with an ID of a racist traitor was probably liberal....
      • stonewaljacksn, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Maybe I should've named myself Che Guevara so I could have a hip trendy liberal name and be cool like all the ***** loser wannabe trendy stoner libs on digg. How about that? Would that make you happy? The name is meant to throw off the fakeass liberals that populate this site. IM GONNA NAME MYSELF IN A WAY THAT SHOWS OFF MY TRENDY LIBERAL POLITICAL VIEWS I AM SOOOO COOOOLLL WOOOOOO BRO!!= not for me.
    • ArchangelZLT, on 05/10/2008, -3/+1You sir = neocon idiot.
    • tocsy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2I agree. And I'm a liberal who's supported Obama from the very beginning. I've just gotten sick of all this sensationalism - it's destroying our party from the inside so that the cons don't have to do it. Most of it is due to the Huffington Post and Daily Kos, so much so that I rarely ever click on the link if it's from one of those two sources.
      • stonewaljacksn, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1THANK YOU. It's sad how much so called "liberals" identify so strongly with these propaganda sites that they can't even muster the courage to speak out against them when they are clearly being sensationalist and limiting our view of the reality of the political situation in this country. Dissent is patriotic, whether it be aimed at your country, party, side of the political spectrum, etc.
  • LukasSmith, on 05/10/2008, -8/+5Hey Everyone the pizzaman has declared Pepperoni our presumptive nominee!
    • gsxrjason, on 05/11/2008, -2/+3Wow you're still around? I missed your ignorant opinions and was afraid you had died in a horrible, slow, and painful way.
      • gsxrjason, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1Correction: little typo; replace afraid with wished
      • LukasSmith, on 05/11/2008, -1/+2was wished you had died?
  • rjw617, on 05/10/2008, -9/+5Who the hell spends their day just digging every 'hillary's math sux0rs' submission?
    • monoa, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1rjw617, reality. Reality, rjw617. We'll leave you two to get acquainted for a while.
  • maximize, on 05/10/2008, -1/+8not yet; patience grasshopper.
  • briguymich, on 05/10/2008, -3/+8I've seen a lot of similar stuff from huffington post today. Can anyone find the same stories anywhere else? I don't think the huffington post is biased, I just think they are ahead of other news organizations. For those of you unfamiliar with sarcasm, see the prior sentence.
    • dan222555, on 05/10/2008, -1/+7It's tough to read that as sarcasm when so many people on Digg believe it wholeheartedly.
    • SpencerMc, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1CNN, Slate Magazine, etc. are all reporting that Hillary's chances of winning are minuscule at best, so it is not as if the site is being untruthful. However, Huffington Post is biased site, yes. It is because it is a biased site that it is reporting on democrat issues. I would be ***** off if I saw a major news organization spending all its time reporting every specific going on in the democratic party. That is what sites like the Huffington Post are for.
  • Caeili, on 05/10/2008, -15/+2Digg needs more huffingtonpost.com stories that support the Messiah Monkey.
    75% of front page articles supporting the Messiah Monkey is not enough.
    What am I supposed to do? Go to huffingtonpost.com on my own?
    • a6n28f, on 05/10/2008, -1/+7...and it needs fewer racists referring to black men as "monkeys." Buried, blocked and reported.
  • dan222555, on 05/10/2008, -3/+11Because apparently 30 Huffingtonpost stories about Obama being the nominee just wasn't enough....
    • Caeili, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Obama is the Messiah. He is the greatest person EVAR!!!11!!
      He can cure cancer with a thought & can feed all of Africa.
      huffingtonpost.com & digg.com say so.
      • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -5/+8You are in for a long 8 years, racist.
        • dan222555, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4That kind of unbridled confidence brings back fond memories of 2004...
        • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -3/+1So you are happy with where America has gone with the leaders elected in 2004?
        • dan222555, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Did I say that? Do I think it would be any better with President John Kerry? Absolutely not.
        • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1You the one with fond memories. Obviously you were happy with the outcome. You voted for George Bush and he delivered what the right wing always delivers; tax cuts for the rich, recession and inflation. Party on.
        • dan222555, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2I have fond memories of liberal over confidence being crushed when their slam dunk candidate lost. What George Bsuh delivered has not been ideal, but I'll take it any day of the ***** week over what a liberal President would have delivered.
        • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1I can't tell what's funnier, the claim that you know what would have happened had Senator Kerry won or the claim that Senator Kerry is a liberal...

          One thing is for certain, you are one of the 25% (and shrinking) dead-enders defending the right wing's failed ideology.
        • dan222555, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1Kerry was rated the most liberal senator in 2003. If you don't think he's a liberal you're ***** out of your mind. And the very fact that he's so liberal makes predicting what his presidency would have been like remarkably easy.

          So only 25% of people continue to support to Republican party? I'd love to know where you dug up such a ridiculous statistic.
  • shiftclick, on 05/10/2008, -11/+4OBAMASPAMA! Suckers! Don't believe the HOPE!
  • trixterIreland, on 05/10/2008, -7/+3just remember sometimes primaries require your vote, voting is important even when your choices are between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. You dont want to be banished and have to live with peta do you?
  • PacoLugi, on 05/10/2008, -7/+1Quick! Name 5 Obama accomplishments as a U.S. Senator. Can't do it? Okay, how about 1?
    • petrodollar, on 05/10/2008, -2/+41. Defeated Hillary Rodhman Clinton in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
    • trixterIreland, on 05/10/2008, -5/+1petrodollar that isnt a senate accomplishment, unless the job of the senate is redefined in the constitution without ratification (again). That is a presidential nominee, basically the 3 senators running arent doing much work as senators these days, focusing instead on their campaigns.

      pacolugi: here is one. This year he spoke out against earmarking funds and returned the $91M that was earmarked by him and never spent. In past years he was all for it. This year hillary requested $3.2B to be earmarked for "national security" one of the goals is to retrain national guardsmen for the construction industry. She also wants to use that money to build some restaurant or something - all of that money is to be spent in NY. McCain hasnt asked for earmarked money and has spoken out about it, not just this year but in historical years. Just to be fair I had to include all the candidates on this issue :)
      • petrodollar, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3"petrodollar that isnt a senate accomplishment,"

        Neither is getting shot down by gooks.
  • Caeili, on 05/10/2008, -8/+3Digg.com has become a joke.
    Is all it is anymore is you bots posting huffingtonpost.com ***** & masterbating each other.
    I was not even going to vote but now I'm going to vote against Obama because I don't like you.
    Congrats morons.
    • briguymich, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2Way to have your opinion heard. Nice to know there are still people out there who can argue politics with some intelligent, rational, and reasonable opinions.
    • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4I'm sorry that your life is so miserable.

      Oh wait, no I'm not... racists' lives SHOULD be miserable.
      • EricCiccone, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2No one SHOULD be miserable, I don't care if his views are different than yours, no one should want another human being to be unhappy.
      • Caeili, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3I'm not "miserable."
        I just don't like you.
        And I don't want Obama to "Change" my money into your money.
        Thanks for playing you mindless drone.
        • chicofaraby, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2Yeah, you sound like a real ray of sunshine, Rush.
      • xedd, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2They ARE miserable.

        My understanding is that Racism is self-hatred and self-loathing PROJECTED outwards onto others. It is a perverse, almost psychotic way of 'dealing with' one's denial of deeply-seated self-doubt. It is evidence of a great fear about a lack of one's own talents and abilities, with a response of first de-personalizing such individual qualities by seeing them as "racial" qualities, and then assuming that one's own race is obviously superior and therefore all others are inferior, and this becomes actively expressed as "racism".

        People who feel confident and sure about themselves have no problems respecting the dignity and qualities of all other people, and living and working with them, no matter what race they are.
  • FLUX, on 05/10/2008, -4/+3Obama diggs new Ron Paul
  • Sogui, on 05/10/2008, -2/+3This article is devoid of any meaningful information.
    • abran1984, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1It's a HuffPo article, did you expect anything else?
    • Wartyboskfapped, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1Thank you, Surak.
  • trixterIreland, on 05/10/2008, -8/+2At least obama got the endorsement of hamas. I believe some of his upswing came after that endorsement too.
    • minimaximus, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1WTF? FYI, Rahm Emmanuel is a dual Israeli-American with questionable loyalties, or as the AIPAC used to call him: our man in the White House...
  • Plantagenet, on 05/10/2008, -3/+1Obama is not yo mama
    Obama is yo presumptive nominee!
  • HotSaucePanCake, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2HUFFINGTON POST IS THE BIGGEST POS
