New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

Google “the big buy tom delay” in google video and enjoy THE TRUTH!!

That documentary describes the manner in which the money power wrangled the chattel and paved the way for the reconstruction of Amerika into a land of many poor and needy, and few oligarchs.

This shyster liar lied all the way until the lies caught up with him and he had to resign.. the punk.

He’s now someone’s punk in prison.

There are still many CONgress punks waiting to join him… the list is long, but there’s plenty of room for them.

If The US plays its cards right there’s a brand new possibility to get involved in a new war in Lybia, plant a WMD story, invade, get the oil and screw the country up more than it already is just like Iraq an Afghanistan. Go USA!
