What’s most disturbing is how Obama is above reproach. It’s become almost blasphemy to criticize him in anyway. Kudos to John Stewart for pointing this out in his comedy routine, but he’ll probably catch flack for that, just like the rest of us. It’s as if Obama has been packaged and sold to us as some kind of diety, when he’s nothing more than a junior senator, with a thin resume, who voted present a hundred times at his job.

The idea that news sites have no responsibility for comments on their site is a thing of the past. With community moderation and/or manual approval of comments, they should be able to avoid having comments like that displayed so prominently on a “news” site.

Would you let someone put a hateful sign in your front yard, or would you take it down?

How is that comment indicative of an egregious “news” site? I see comments like that all the time on all kinds of MSM websites. Big deal.

For my political news, I now stand at the back door of my local bar. The drunks need no moderation.

Nice work, Josh.

The inherent trust people seem to have for Google is pretty alarming. I like a lot of what they’ve done but they’ve got way to much power to be let off the hook so easily.

You can’t expect too much from Google. Remember, they’re complicit with China in suppression of dissent.

Re that quote. . .

OBAMA HAS LONG LIST OF PEOPLE THET ARE LESS THAN REFINED. JOHNSON IS JUST THE MOST RECENT CHARACTER OF HIS LONG LIST REV WRIGHT, FATHER FFLEGER,TONY REZKO, LOUIS fARRAKHAN,BLACK PANTHER,AHMAD YOUSUS HAMAS,WILLIAM AYER,HIS WIFE AND TO MANY TO COUNT

. . . I think he showed a lot of restraint in not bringing up Larry Sinclair. If you don’t know who he is, you don’t want to. But if you must, the New Republic covered him near the end of Hillary’s campaign. Sinclair makes Larry Johnson look like a piker.

Thanks again, Josh.
