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.

As usual you’ve cut through the bullshit to the truth. But how much does Obama really know, as opposed to what they tell him? That’s the haunting question.

Hm.  Well Osama was defending people in an on-going war that he did not start.  Osama hit military targets and minimized civilian casualties.  Osama killed less than 3000 people.

Obama has continued multiple wars that have killed many millions of innocent people.  Wars his country started (and in two cases wars Obama started) without any provocation, let alone in self-defence.  Obama brags about how he targets civilians rather than have even the slightest risk apply to America’s thug / baby-killer class.

One is a resistance fighter, the other a psychotic imperialist dictator with a death toll that challenges Hitler.

No difference?

I thought it was “collateral damage,” but this is really quite clever.  Very.
