Margo,  Excellent post.   I remember the glow of election night, we  elected our  first black president .   I thought the Birthers and Fox News would stop the personal attacks.   

Fox News not only reports but supports the right wing agenda.    Glen Beck has declared war on the President of the United States.   Tea Baggers have declared war on the government.

Whether it is racial or political they are making it almost impossible for anyone to lead the country.   Eric Holder said we are cowards when it comes to talking about race.   Has anyone changed their position since we have had this discussion ?

Once again I said a larger percentage of southerners believe that President Obama is not a citizen.  You continue to ignore any who states over and over again that all southerners are not racists.

I found plenty of info about polls on the web .  Here is one that shows the break down of "birther" views"

I don’t know if you are on a watch list but you should be.  It sounds like you are in a lot of pain and in need of help.

Did the military and your wife do you wrong?  There are many veterans including ones who are disabled who don’t feel the same way.  Many vets support the government and President Obama. 

MQC,   I am guilty of the same bias-   Heritage Foundation, Lewin Group( funding by health insurance companies), Cato Institute all funded by right wing organizations-  I don’t believe a word they say. 

The Wall Street Journal used to be respected but now it is right wing propaganda rag ran by Rupert Murdock - So between Fox News and WSJ the right wing  controls the media.  Lou Dobbs is on CNN along all the other right leaning newscasters.  The liberal media now mostly consists of Rachel Maddow, Keith Olberman and Ed Schultz.   There are some media people that try to maintain centrists position. 

The media thus far has given a platform to right wing extremists who  get away with distortions unchallenged.   Joe Scarborough finally pushed back the other day.  I was shocked.

It is obvious that you know nothing about the missle system that was in place or the one that is being improved.  I say we trust the people who are involved and have all the information like of Secretary of Defense. 

You have made statements that are your opinion based on something and not necessarily any facts that you have given.  I view programs and see data and remember the data but not the source.  I notice that when others have provided sources and data it has been disregarded because of the source.  I disregard data from most right leaning conservative sources or left leaning..  I tend to prefer non-partisan data.

You know that some parts of the country are more conservative as identified and referred to by red and blue states.  Do have be provide proof if I say California is a blue state or Alabama is a Red State?

#1 Police have verified that the womans husband is alive-  which would indicate she was playing  them.

#4  I saw the break down of a poll on a tv show.  But I am using a tactic of the right wing when they cans say things and not back them up such as death panels, illegal immigrants and Abortion funding being in the Health Care Reform Package.  If you do the research come up with why my statement is not true.

This particular woman in California acorn office knew they were fakes and it is on tape - she told them outlandish stories about her shooting her husband and being in the prostitution business.   The other woman were actually providing information and they were fired.   These trappers as you call them went to many Acorn offices around the country and were tossed out and a police report filed in one of the offices. 

Acorn has been harassed by conservatives for years and I am sure you know why.  Maybe they will get their act togather and be more selective of their employees.  

I hope they survive.  I imagine some offices are better than others.   But your mind is made up.  Haliburtion and Black-water are far worst abusers of taxpayer money.

I can and do blame  Republicans for being obstructionists for spreading false information and not working toward a solution in good faith.   Such statements such as death panels and socialized medicine and other ludicrous and false claims about health care reform are not necessary to discuss policy differences.

I resent you consistently stating that people who are liberal leaning are not real Americans.   I think the tea baggers and Ayers have much in common.  Ayers believed the country was going in the wrong direction.   So he wanted to get their attention.  The only difference between Ayers and the tea baggers is that his protest went awry. Some one was killed much like someone could be killed by those bringing guns to the rallies.

I said people are being used to rally against their own best interest.   The followers of Dr. King all knew why they were marching.   These people at the tea party’s want their country back.  That is not a policy are reason that anyone can understand.

To rail against Health Care Reform is not logical .  The Obama administration underestimated the damage the Republicans with scare tactics especially against seniors.  They played to resentment of illegal immigrants.
