What is it with these right-wing wackos who like Obama? God that has me worried.

It’s unreasonable that a twit like Peggy Noonan has a chance in a widely read column to pontificate about what is “reasonable”. In a reasonable world she would be writing want ads for a local paper with a very small circulation. Or maybe one of those giveaways. Peggy Noonan is to reporting what gum is to sustenance.

Peggy Noonan is high up in the Republican noise machine.
They want Obama as a candidate because they know their candidate will defeat him. Not just because of the enduring existence of racism in America, but also xenophobia–fear of foreigners. A Muslim father and stepfather? They can’t wait to have him as a candidate!
Please people don’t give Peggy what she wants.

The GOP is going to self-destruct at the convention, and the best part of it is that it will be televised.

Ronald Reagan was someone I detested when he was the host for the General Electric show back in the 50’s when I was a kid. He was so phony, and when he clearly showed the signs of Alzheimer’s in his second term as president, noone said anything it seemed. Nancy whispering in his ear. He was a second rate actor forever. That anyone thought he was a hero, was beyond me. Beyond his bad acting, he ordered the national guard to shoot to kill the protestors protesting Vietnam. And this is the guy Noonan idolized? Gag me.

I heard Penn of Penn & Tellar on O’Reilly last fall at my right winger brothers’ house. A total right wing apologist.

What’s sickening is how emotion and pretty words have been used to deaden the judgement of so many Americans. The Republicans have Rove, Luntz, Ailes, and the long gone Lee Atwater (who repented of his evil ways on his deathbed). Who do we have? Jim Wallis, Jeffrey Feldman and there’s another guy I can’t think of his name right now, but we need wordsmiths, word psychologists, and maybe most importantly media control/ownership.

“Nooner’s reasoning on why Edwards is not reasonable”

Noonan is to reasoning, as John Belushi is to moderation.

Oh, please.

The woman has built an entire career on her political association with a man who spent essentially his entire adult life in pancake makeup. Ronald Reagan used as much hairspray on an average day as I have in the past decade.

Exactly. What else have they got on the guy… how about the fact that he’s telling middle America the system’s rigged against them & getting Iowa hog farmers all upset?

It would seem the word is out to the MSM (PBS included, I’m afraid) that the less said about Mr Edwards the better, just ignore him and hope he’ll go away. Heh.

Noonan’s antagonism towards Giuliani is a Brooklyn thing. She’s Irish, he’s Italian. And he treats women badly. That’s enough to put him in the unreasonable category. As a teenager, Noonan ran into so many guys like Rudy at dances at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, she doesn’t need specific reasons to reject them out of hand. As Nana would say, “They’re no damned good, any of them.”
