This is really sad. Unfortunately, terrorism seems a daily concern in India. Hindus killing Muslims and Muslims killing Hindus. I guess our country doesn't care until they start trying to kill our people.

That's cute. Colmes thinks they're going to give him his own show. He was just there to make Hannity look smart.
I’m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years.”
Oh please, there was no chance of him doing anything to Hannity. He had to ask Hannity's permission to speak.
Jonathan Singer at MyDD is floating Sam Seder as a potential replacement. TVNewser is also conducting a poll of possibilities.
They'll never allow Seder to be on the show. Seder is actually a liberal commentator, as opposed to a stand-up comedian who happens to be a liberal, and would eat Hannity alive.

Yeah, let me know how that turns out. Israel is going to end up doing whatever they want to do. They don't care about world peace and, as much as we finance their military adventurism, they don't care what we think either.

What does Israel think it's accomplishing by punishing all Palestinians for the actions of a small minority? All they're doing is killing people and creating further animosity in the occupied territories.

Prop 8 was a horrible decision. Not just for gays but for the entire state of California and for the whole country. At some point this has to stop. I just hope that when this country finally comes to its senses, it's not too late.

Oh please, Islam isn't the only religion that forbids usury. Companies providing a service that a large segment of the population may be interested in does not equal stoning people for adultery. I swear there are a lot of people in this country who want to make it impossible for Muslims to live in peace.

I know this was just Palin being Palin and trying to pretend she's still relevant. I know she was just talking completely out of turn about something nobody's ever even approached her about. But even the thought of this makes my skin crawl. She should go back to Alaska and never leave again!

Wishful Thinking...
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/10/sanford.conservatives/index.html
Editor's Note: Mark Sanford, a Republican, is governor of South Carolina.
This is a disclaimer so you're not tempted to believe a word he says.
Some on the left will say our electoral losses are a repudiation of our principles of lower taxes, smaller government and individual liberty. But Tuesday was not in fact a rejection of those principles -- it was a rejection of Republicans' failure to live up to those principles.
Well, that's funny, because the Republicans spent 2 years painting Barack Obama as a tax and spend ultra liberal in the media. They spared no expense to convince people that Obama would raise taxes, increase the size of government and take away peoples' guns. Meanwhile, they ran John McCain as an anti-tax crusader who would freeze all government programs, eliminate Medicare and Social Security and allow toddlers to buy automatic assault rifles previously restricted to law enforcement and the military. Despite all this, the American people voted for Barack. I don't think they were confused on who was the liberal and who was the ultra-conservative candidate.
Republicans have campaigned on the conservative themes of lower taxes, less government and more freedom -- they just haven't governed that way. America didn't turn away from conservatism, they turned away from many who faked it.
That's odd since they elected the candidate who was almost universally labeled by the media as the "most liberal Presidential candidate in history". It seems the American people wanted a liberal.
Mark keeps mentioning "freedom" and "individual liberty". I guess that only matters if you're not gay or a woman and you don't want to smoke pot to alleviate a medical condition.
I really hope the Republicans keep running as unabashed conservatives. Contrary to what Mark says, the American people are quite aware of the conservative identity of the GOP. Whether they like it or not, Americans quite enjoy their Social Security, their social programs and their rights to sleep with whoever they want. The American people saw John McCain running to the right of George W. Bush and they wanted nothing to do with it.

Lieberman...
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2008_11/015575.php
Joe Lieberman really lives in his own little world, doesn't he? Who cares what he wants? He's lucky they haven't already kicked him out of the caucus. There is no way in hell he deserves to retain his chairmanship. He should have lost it the second he left the Party. Now that he's further insulted the Democratic Party by endorsing McCain and other down ticket Republicans he is faced with two choices. He can remain in the majority party and receive another committee assignment or he can join the minority and take whatever they give him. I can guarantee he won't get anything better from them. Bottom line, if he doesn't like the overly generous offer they're giving him he's free to leave. They don't need him. But he knows he can't leave because he needs the Dems more than they need him, and that eats him up inside because he considers himself the most important person in the world.

Stupid Bayh...

I'm shocked. Bayh is just as much of a problem as Lieberman is. Both want to turn the Democratic Party into Republican light. I'm so glad Obama didn't make the mistake of naming him VP. Can you imagine if he were Vice President-elect saying stupid shit like this?

Republican Lies...
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/06/emanuel.reaction/index.html
Where I come from this wouldn't be considered a "mixed reaction". It would be considered sour grapes from Obama's political enemies. Obama could have picked Joshua Bolten and the Republicans would have found a reason to bitch about it. I don't see any Democrats criticizing the choice. There are even some Republicans who say it's a great choice. The Republicans are mad because he's a great choice, not because he's a bad choice. They want a pushover who they can beat into submission. The last thing they want is someone who has huge amounts of experience and a reputation as a brutal enforcer. That's exactly what Obama needs. The fact that they're so vocal about it proves why he's such a good choice, they're literally pissing their pants at the idea of having to deal with him. I think that's a great endorsement indeed.

Betrayal...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081107/ap_on_go_co/lieberman_republicans
This would be the ultimate betrayal. Especially when the Democrats allowed Lieberman to retain his seniority and committee chairmanships despite his leaving the party and endorsing the Republican Party's candidates. I don't know why the Republicans would want him though. It's one thing to have him on your side but allowing him into their caucus would be a mistake. Just like a cheating husband, if he cheated on the Dems he'll do the same thing to the Reps as soon as it behooves him.

Only in Israel would the people make a hero of a guy who murdered a Prime Minister in cold blood. Even Americans who may have disliked Kennedy mourned his death. Even the most pro-Confederate town in the South doesn't have a statue of John Wilkes Booth in the middle of town.

Double Standard...
http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/2008/11/neo-nazis-obama-and-real-domestic.html
If you want a perfect example of the double standard, just look at the Fort Dix plot case. Those guys were no more well prepared, and stood no greater chance of accomplishing their goal, than the skinheads who plotted to kill Obama. The government is ignoring the threats from the skinheads while moving forward full speed with the Fort Dix case using testimony from a bought witness.

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/241682.php
This should be illegal. Using government information on an immigration case to boost your candidate's chances is immoral and certainly below what a President should be doing.
