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.

“People like Pat [Tea Baggers] aren’t aware of it,
but they’re the best friends Obama has. They hate
him, sure, but they don’t hate him for any reasons
that make sense. When it comes down to it, most of
them hate the president for all the usual reasons
they hate “liberals” — because he uses big words,
doesn’t believe in hell and doesn’t flip out at the
sight of gay people holding hands. Additionally, of
course, he’s black, and wasn’t born in America, and
is married to a woman who secretly hates our country.

These are the kinds of voters whom Obama’s gang of
Wall Street advisers is counting on: idiots. People
whose votes depend not on whether the party in power
delivers them jobs or protects them from economic
villains, but on what cultural markers the candidate
flashes on TV. Finance reform has become to Obama
what Iraq War coffins were to Bush: something to be
tucked safely out of sight.”
