		<description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;if you&#039;re dumbass enough to go on goddamned Sean Hannity&#039;s show and let him feed you questions, you&#039;re probably not smart enough to recognize it when you&#039;re being gang-buggered by the RNC dirty tricks committee.&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
Good one, Dr. S. It&#039;s as if Stehanopolous weren&#039;t aware that the right has all these websites where they while away their time making mountains out of molehills.

Question: How many journalists can dance on the head of a flag pin?</description>

		<description>That wasn&#039;t a debate. It was a 3 on 1 gang bashing on Obama with Hillary acting in proxy for McCain. The Charlie and George team should be ashamed. They represented the MSM in its slimiest hour.
Also, if the guilt-by-association (GBA) card is going to be used against Obama, it can be used against Clinton and would make her a philandering impeachable liar since she lived with one for many years. If you really want a stretch on the GBA card, McCain could be a labeled a torturer because he spent 6 years with them. The GBA card is ludicrous and for the ignorant fools who also think Obama is a Muslim. How easily the  biased-can&#039;t-think-for-themselves-sheeple are swayed. A dumbed down populus is a contollable populus. Those who control the information, control the people. What has become of the 4th Estate?</description>

		<description>I was waiting for you to take a run at this Sam.  Last night as i was watching I was thinking to my self &quot;shit i should switch channels to American Idol, at least it has some integrity.&quot; 

I was also thinking that the internet would crash with all the people posting about the &quot;debate&quot;.

I was a little saddened that Barack didn&#039;t call them out.  I under stand he&#039;s taking the high road and he doesn&#039;t want to be the &quot;black guy who is victimized&quot;, but last night really pissed me off.  When they asked him if Rev Wright loved America all he had to do is say &quot;I&#039;m sure he does, but why don&#039;t you ask him&quot;  

I can&#039;t imaging that out of all the questions submitted by the people of PA the one that HAD to be asked was about his refusal to wear a freakin American flag pin.  If I was him i wouldn&#039;t have even answered that question.  Actually i think he should have just laughed at the question.  

Walking out would have been sweet, but then they would be labeled as quitters.  I can imagine all the cut-n-run references for the rest of their lives.  

This debate was so bad that ABC did a story today about it&#039;s &quot;mixed&quot; reviews.  This was the first debate I actually turned off this year.  I wanted to write about it, but there was just so much to write I actually didn&#039;t know where to start.</description>

Jeff: If they had, I imagine they&#039;d have earned a few respect points from every voter in America, including Republicans. They probably don&#039;t enjoy having their intelligence insulted, either, I&#039;m guessing.</description>

That debate was horrible, and Clinton and Obama should have walked out.

		<description>To be fair to Obama, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s as easy as you are saying it is for him to &quot;do something&quot; about it. He is a politician and he walks a thin line. He knows that Americans don&#039;t like &quot;crybabies&quot; and while I would personally love if he did the things you talk about here, I&#039;m sure many Americans just wouldn&#039;t understand. Obama has a lead and doesn&#039;t really have any reason to do anything that risky politically.</description>
