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.

McVeigh was a patsy.  OK fed an Inside Job.  Don’t hate the Tea Party.  That’s what
“they” want.  Stupid cartoon.

Why do people on this site doubt my identity? I am the
son of Oscar Ortiz and Amparo Lopez and I live in
Mexico. I am a Honduran. I was educated in Honduras and
the US.

I am merely repeating what Gallup found…they are
scientific in their methods. It is their research, not
my opinion.

A sample size of 1033? Pretty hard to generalize across 300,000,000 people with that type of sample size. Not to mention Gallup’s historical Republican bias.

Don’t let Gallup fool you… this is a white movement.

Much ado about very little.

Aaron,


Sorry, no they are not - I can say, by just scanning the crow that there are no HISPANICS nor AFRICAN AMERICANS on the crowd.
For the most part, they are old ‘Anglo Saxons’ who are petrified of the world to come.  Get over it, and I am positive that Ortiz is not your real name - maybe your gardener?

It is interesting and perhaps relevant that the most recent Gallup poll found that
Tea Party members are from a very representative group of US citizens. In other
words, them may skew to the right of the political spectrum, but not the racial or
socio-economic spectrum.

I think the media is playing the race card against a group they distrust.
