		<description>&lt;p&gt;Slightly off topic, but I am still fuming over the lies Rep. Kingston (R-GA) made about Obama on Bill Mahr show Friday. I have called his office to complain and got nowhere. Yesterday, I contacted the Georgia Dem. Party to find out if someone is running against him. Received an email this morning with the news that Bill Gillespie is running. If you are as outraged as I am, please go to his website and make a contribution. It is&lt;br /&gt;
billforgeorgia.com&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If everyone takes some action, maybe we can rid of this pondscum. It should be unethical to make the comments he made knowingly lying.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It pays to be careful when the (R)’s do something that seems out of character.  In this case, they’d rather be debating Iraq and bragging about how the surge has “succeeded,” than voting on the next bill in line which is the housing bill that would assist the folks caught in the mortgage scam.  The banks are lobbying ferociously to prevent that bill from passing or to gut the provisions that would prevent foreclosures.  The (R)’s haven’t changed their spots, they are just trying to protect their banking industry contributors by delaying to give them more time to change or defeat that bill.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;He’s the eerie ex CIA guy whose role in life was to track and kill Ben Ladin. He was critical of both Bush and Clinton administrations for their lack of diligence in going after Bin Ladin. His personality reminds me a little of G. Gordon Liddy.&lt;br /&gt;

In response to Crosstimbers @ 60 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yeah, he gets a lot of CNN etc face time, I see him interviewed a lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks.  (Sorry to be slow to respond; had to step away from the computer — imagine that!)  Sounds like his position is that the U.S.’s interests are so important that they override things like international relations:  alliances and diplomacy are so ‘Cold War’.  He might well make “good TV”, but the argument sounds, shall we say, unfirm.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The people slamming the smear for jews campaign, the one we are told on daily kos in comments on the top. rec. diary is coming from The Womens Coalition &lt;strong&gt;a branch of the RNC&lt;/strong&gt; (but w/o any source, so I am passing it on with a ?)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WHAT?  I don’t find the word “Coalition” anywhere in that article or its comments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps I misunderstood your point.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;McConnell’s strategy is transparent, though risky. He thinks that having a debate will result in some Democrat, preferably a presidential candidate to say something that can be twisted into ‘not supporting the troops.’ It’s so transparent it has no chance of working.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m a new commenter here. Forgive me if this point has been made already. Be gentle. kthx.&lt;br /&gt;
Time was when a debate on Iraq would prove risky for the Right. With a truly fair and unbiased media that would still be true. The facts would speak for themselves and expose the lies of the past 7 years. They can now rely on the power of the press to insure that Cletus and Brandine (or any other low-info voter) will never hear the whole story on any national outlet. The “liberal MSM” is nothing but wingnut fiction. Lip service to those who oppose and all glory to BushCo/Hate Inc.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I did. Just got feedback letter too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
But we can still do more. Papers in states like Ohio, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania that are going to be crucial&lt;br /&gt;
during the 2008 election only received a handful of emails. It is especially important that these papers get the&lt;br /&gt;
message that articles like Nedra Pickler’s AP article questioning Obama’s patriotism don’t belong in the pages of&lt;br /&gt;
legitimate newspapers.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m in Pennsylvania.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;a href=&quot;http://firedoglake.com/2008/02/25/action-tell-ap-papers-to-stop-smearing-obamas-patriotism/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sent a letter to the editor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
about Nedra’s AP story sliming Barack Obama? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today I looked in the local newspapers Ltr to Editor section and found nothing.  If you find a letter, post a link.  Who as noticed how quickly right winf sites posted articles about how Nedra was covering for Barack on the same issue. Makes me think we’re looking at a coordinated campaign.  Is Nedra the next Miller, taking stenography to advace her career without ever sniffing out that she’s being played?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
