- swrostmore, on 10/11/2007, -8/+23Thats why I don't get all the rabid republican apologists on digg. We know you are all poor students living out of your parents' pockets, so why do you have such a hard on for the party of the wealthy?
Oh wait, maybe its because your parents would lower your allowance if the Democrats raised taxes... - brainScan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11"Does anyone doubt that if John Edwards or any other Dem did this it would be covered by all the major networks and chewed over endlessly by cable chat-show hosts for days and days and days?"
They'd be trying to figure out why a Democrat was trying to repeal the estate tax? - Chompy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11Wow, I had to go through two layers of blog spam to get to the original article.

- brian4572, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12that rat bastard, the ferrets will have their revenge on you!!!
- ricksite, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7MisterWhite, think that is weird? How do you explain all of the SUVs with Gore stickers on them.
- Zera, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10Guys, for any given political event, dozens of sites are considered. Lots of factors are considered, such as security, large enough yards, parking, etc, etc. Now the comments made to the woman might have been inappropriate, or maybe she was disappointed and is misquoting what was said. Either way, well over 95% of sites that are considered are eventually NOT chosen. Duh. Go ahead and digg me down, but this is a fact.

You mean blog spam number 1, or blog spam number 2? Please tell me you're not calling "The Official Newspaper of Anamosa, located in Jones County, Iowa Anamosa News Since 1855" where the story was originally published, unreliable are you? I'd hate for Anamosa to be smeared as well as snubbed, geesh. - vinaywaffles, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7politicians...
just sick of them. - laserblazer, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Giuliani proves that the poor don't have exclusive franchise on drag.
- craka, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Stop your ruining the "hit piece". Rudy is a fraud blah blah blah.
How dare you try input reason into this. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -10/+14This is low, even by Giuliani's standards
- laserblazer, on 10/11/2007, -7/+11So you want the man who helped cover up 9/11, a dress-wearing gay-hater, to be President? Not gonna happen, chump.
- digginyou, on 10/11/2007, -10/+14One more expose on the utter fraud that is Rudy.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Giuliani: "Freedom means submitting to Authority."
That the guy? - ichbinladen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Doesn't matter. America will never elect a bald, ugly, New Yorker with a lisp.
- MisterWhite, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5There's a guy at work who has a bush sticker and a darwin fish emblem on his car. I'm still scratching my head over that.
- jeanette3654, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8I don't know why everyone is so surprised, the guy's a dick.
- Cumella, on 10/11/2007, -6/+9Yea because that website just screams legitimate...
- laserblazer, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Giuliani: "There's no shame in being poor, only dressing poorly!"
- dwhitbeck, on 10/11/2007, -5/+8The republicans had better come up with someone better than Guiliani if they want to win the election.
- yunus, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6He doesnt have to go there, but dont get someones hopes up and say you want to host a dinner at their farm and then say "oh sorry your not wealthy enough for me to waste my time".
Political affiliation doesnt matter in this situation, its just rude. - laserblazer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Someone Dugg you down. Can you believe someone is -not- sick of politicians?
- addrake, on 10/11/2007, -6/+9Precisely. Rudy was campaigning against the inheritance tax which is known to affect large family farms in a very big way. This farm was not large enough so he needed to move to another one.
Let's say he had done his rally there, how long before democraticunderground would point out that they would not be affected because they were too small. - genacys, on 10/11/2007, -11/+13Poor republicans seem paradoxical to me.
- aukxsona, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yup that guy.
- mojibyrd, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Why would anyone invite that piece of ***** to their house anyhow....he is as despicable as bush and cheney....IMHO.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7
I am from NYC
everyone should see this movie. although its one-sided old video footage of G does not lie

he really, truly is a ***** ***** - Aces, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2@swrostmore As addrake said... digg is a very left leaning site. Do you not realize 90%+ of the userbase (or atleast of those who comment and whose stories make front page) are anti-bush, anti-republican etc?
@MisterWhite
I hate to single you out because comments like this are made all the time... but thats just silly. Don't believe everything you read on digg and moveon. Shockingly, there are millions of intelligent, educated republicans. Believing that everyone who voted for bush is a fundamentalist christian who rejects evolution is as absurd as making generalizations based on something like race. - CatalystDM, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Look, I don't support Giuliani or any Republican for that matter, but calling Giuliani a "gay-hater" is such a load of crap. He's one of the few Republicans in the race that doesn't support a ban on gay marriage.
- cheesehead, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3 How come that f#cker didn't command from his command centre?
Because he knew it was doomed. - EddieOK, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4I get the feeling that when Giuliani was Mayor on New York City, he viewed the homeless "problem" the same way the Nixon viewed the V.C. "problem". At least he didn't secretly bomb Battery park.
- darsie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Giuliani campaign snubs Iowa farmer for being poor"
You can't get much more callow than this.
Ron Paul for President - CatalystDM, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2So you think Giuliani schedules all of the events he attends himself then?
- acdcfanbill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@BinaryDemon (#6642210)
If he only has time for rich farmers, we are going to be a pretty hungry country. - vikramkr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3What's MSM?
- darsie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Zera - 13 hours ago - a valid point - and I doubt whether anyone's going to digg you down -

- ricksite, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Do you not realize 90%+ of the userbase (or atleast[sic] of those who comment and whose stories make front page) are educated?" - DUGG! I recognize a good joke when I see one!
- vikramkr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3That dirty, dirty Italian.
- identifiedlogo, on 10/11/2007, -6/+7Are u out of your freaking mind!!!OK Come back and tell me who his father was, then i will tell you who he is.
Ron Paul is the real deal. A Texan and a true American. probably your dumb ass is still thinking if he is Yankee or not. - TimDigg, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3"Do you not realize 90%+ of the userbase (or atleast of those who comment and whose stories make front page) are anti-bush, anti-republican etc?"

fixed - rmock, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Just for fun, what is the base at which the dreaded "death tax" kicks in? $100,000? $200,000? $300,000?
I'm probably mistaken, but I thought that inheritance taxes began on money, assets,etc ABOVE a certain level, not at a baseline of anything inherited.
My understanding of how most family farms handle the transfer of assets from one generation to another is through the process of the younger generation buying the assets and business from the older generation.
This process (which lawyers and financial advisers have built an entire industry around) allows the old folks to retire and maintain a stream of income from the sale of their farm. It allows the youngsters to buy into a business without investing a lot of cash into physical assets up front.
I don't think that a large number of farms, with considerable assets (and liabilities) are taking a cavalier attitude towards retirement management and asset distribution. Most of these guys are pretty sharp, living on a very thin margin most of their lives. - dawhim, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1main stream media
- xJudahx, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3If you think about why this happened, it seems obvious. His rep said he is campaigning on the death tax. He wants to hold this on a farm that is affected by the issue so that he can include it in his speech. It's normal politics on both sides.
Another reason they both suck. - Aces, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Iowa farmland is worth on average 2900 per acre. Up to 3400 in central iowa and 1800 for the southern. So 80 acres is worth about 230,000.

- dron55, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1@ xJudahx
Yes, we are, now please stop creating them - genetic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+280 acres isnt worth a million dollars?
- xJudahx, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Can you believe that someone is sick of useless, waste of bandwidth comments?
