This author may try all he likes to turn a sows ear into a silk purse, it simply isn’t going to continue to gain traction in the face of the compromising and ineffective legislation this Democratic majority continue to turn out.

I have not been on this site very long and think I’m going to tip out… last few posts that I’ve read here have been a monumental waste of precious time.

Tata, bye now, please close the door upon exiting the building.

The press corp in Dc has given good old hairy a pass for 20+ years. The very fact that he resided in a 5 star hotel in DC paid for by Nevada Indian tribes would have most politicians thrown out of office. But then good old hairy is a dem and with the press corp that’s all that matters

Defending the indefensible:

Hairy Reed is a corporate boot likker and a traitor to the american people.  He wouldn’t know a constitutional right if it bitch slapped him.

I have not been on this site very long and think I’m going to tip out… last few posts that I’ve read here have been a monumental waste of precious time.

Defending the indefensible.  Harry Reid… puhleeze!!  My opinion of him was formed when he and all the other members of the house and senate (with the exception of maybe six total) voted for Israel’s right to defend itself against unarmed women and babies… incidently -that was a dead giveaway of who is really running the show.  Harry Reid is a sell-out and a corporate boot licker.

Discussions about left/right/democrat/republican are inane mainstream drivel.  Americans get their intelligence insulted all the time.  We don’t need to come to a so-called alternative news site to get more… if you can’t at least bother to be creative, then just f*** off.

We don’t all live in fear and we’re not glued to the televisions and our eyes are wide open.  While there does seem to be a shortage of brave and a whole dearth of freedom (that is not the self-delusional sort), most people are well over the dog and pony show that passes for congress.  And we know how they will vote and the song and dance no longer holds our attention.

Who is really engaging in deluded thinking “Control the information and you control the populace?”  -get over yourselves.

Think critically, prepare and never shut up. 

More worthy topics might be how we might start our own media to replace the mass-murder corporate press… in print and radio and t.v. format.

Imagine the national rage (real as opposed to the jinned up Teabaggers) if this
terrible health care bill goes through as written, and bill collectors start dunning
small businesses and individuals for their government mandated insurance
premiums.

I bet Congress plans to somehow scuttle or soften with the mandated premiums,
etc. in conference… in which case the govt just goes ahead and writes yet another
check, and pays off the insurance companies to manage health care for all. 

What a country!

Webster´s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary defines “gratuitous” as, “given unearned or without recompense,” “costing nothing,” “not involving a return benefit, compensation or consideration.” Those who post comments with Truth Dig pay nothing, and at the expense of Truth Dig.

Since many comments tend to be critical of writers for Truth Dig, one might even conclude that “gratuitous contract” also fits the generosity of Truth Dig. Commenters are benefitted by the option to air their criticisms and general comments, a questionable benefit for Truth Dig.

Sibel Edmonds is quite a lady.  Chalk up another point for the women-folk.

Again, thank you, Truth Dig.

drbhelthi, you must mean Sibel Edmonds, not Edwards. Now she’s an incredible hero. There is NOTHING gratuitous about the comment feature at truthdig. It’s incredibly brave of them to have one and to not censor it (as far as I can tell, and I’ve made some fairly controversial posts). If it were not for the comments sections, we could never get at the real truth since some of the reporters are total idiots. Then again, some of the reporters are fantastic and the comments section bears this out. It the supplementary part of the new reporting process and it’s where journalism is headed. It’s also the only way to guage which of their reporters are idiots, in terms of user-feedback. The comments has had a profound impact on the evolution of this site’s content, me thinks. In article like this one, where every single commenter without exception notes what a irredeemably stupid and poorly executed article it is, the may give the editors some ammo when attempting to slip out from under the economic need to print the odd one like this one. Or it may allow the CIA to tune up their mouthpieces over at the Washington Post so at least we can be entertained a little bit during our disinfo reading sessions.

Comment sections: s’all good! Free speech! For that, TruthDig, WE LOVE YOU!

I find it gratuitous that Truth Dig provides comment forums. Each comment is preceded by the notice from Truth Dig:  “Add Your Comment Your name, ________________, will be displayed with this post. Your Comment:”                                                                                Comments do not require documentation.  They are only comments.

For several years, with qualified exceptions, when I read printed “news” or watch “news” on TV, or comments on “forums,” I immediately recall the saying of William Casey during his first open “general assembly” of the CIA in 1981:  “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false,” as recorded by the fastidious jewish lady investigator-historian, Mae Brussell.

The CIA continues to conduct its “Disinformation Program” with a bottomless budget that not even the US congress can access, a violation of US law.  Just as the CIA has turned over much of its operation to “Blackwater,” funded extensively by CIA Black Monies, violating numerous US Laws, with impunity.  Similarly, Mr. Hussein Obama recently awarded prosecution immunity to Interpol agents operating in the US. 

My guess is that most of us who post “comments” to Truth Dig forums have the freedom to choose to post, or not to post.  Also freedom to read posts or not read posts.  Only paid propagandists, whose employment requires them to respond, supporting some posts while scapegoating others while demanding documentation for comments of others, have no freedom of choice. They are puppets; pimps of their string-pullers. They have sold-out their choice.

After reading the chronicles of Chip Tatum, Ted Gunderson, Sibel Edwards and numerous others, it appears to me that choices of Americans have been sold-out.  Question: who established the CIA, and why was GHWBushSr overseeing its operations at the time of the JFK murder?

Thank you, Truth Dig.

voiceoftruth, God no! Of course he doesn’t believe anything he writes! Don’t be absurd! As for who pays him to write this drivel…well, one clue: it sure as heck is NOT the newspaper-buying public. Wait, there IS hardly any newspaper-buying public!

(OK, ok, I’ll tell you: it’s the gummint! I don’t believe that truthdig has much of a choice when it comes to publishing the odd schlock-job like this one, it probably covers about 90% of their operating costs and they do turn around and use that cash to some great reporting in some other areas…and notice how they are getting better all the time? Another year of this and they may break out of left cover and become utterly non-partisan…let’s hope so. Let’s really support the writers who tell it like it is.)

I really don’t understand why someone pays this guy to write.  This is the 3rd time I have seen him here on TD making a point that is 180 degrees from reality.  He goes so out of his way to spin logic into wanting to make these clowns look good he makes himself look like an idiot.  He can’t really believe what he writes, can he?

hello. Pelosi was exhibited and spat out. Reid will be dishonorably discredited, for all his non-involvement; in the undertakings of the administration: to coalesce partisanship. extreme standouts swirling about the beltway always attract scorn and righteous ridicule, and his is coming. the party is struggling for leadership to fill the void of the anointed one. he is falling by the wayside faster than roadkill from a big truck. this joker is one of the best (sic) choices they have. happy year of recovery to all.

Incest breeds idiots….though some of ‘em can be lovely to look at, of course.  E.J. Dionne’s dues-paying sop to his fella ‘n’ gal claquers here has all the substance of juvenile “SEXting,” without (unfortunately) the same threat of legal penalties….including being labeled for life as a textual (in this case) “deviant.”

It’s just another nightly episode in The Daily Show’s probably inexhaustible “clusterf**k” series.  Too bad the captive audience remains CONvinced they’ve nothing better to pay their precious attention to.

Just because your tormentors let you laugh at the clowns, tame Sisters and Brothers, don’t think you aren’t yourownselfs the butt of the real “joke.”

Hokahey!

Nonetheless, I dearly love Broder, as does everyone who has ever worked with him.

Phew!  I can smell the stink all the way out here in California!

I am so sick of the washington post’s propaganda artists all over this site.

This is a really amateur and misleading article. Sometime people are too close to the trees to see the forest.

“perhaps because journalists are overly sensitive to charges of liberal bias”...which planet is this happening on?

“to her taste in clothes (female politicians always face this)”...on account of journalists such as yourself, oh the irony, please kill me before it does.

“But the beauty of journalism is that reality eventually has to intrude on analysis”...funny, I have rarely observed this. Which obscure hitherto unobserved universal law does this derive from?

“And, yes, Reid criticized my friend David Broder. It’s true that Reid was hitting back, since David is not wild about Harry. Nonetheless, I dearly love Broder, as does everyone who has ever worked with him.”...and this matters how? We might possibly care in what way?

“Her standing has risen to the point that Time magazine had [Polosi] listed as a runner-up for Person of the Year”...Great, she could have joined the ranks of Hitler (twice), Stalin (twice), Mao, G. W Bush (twice), Kenneth Starr, Ronald Reagan (twice), Ayatullah Khemeini, Nixon (twice), and let’s not forget G.I. Joe in 1950. Gee, I sure would like to be on the front cover of a globalist snot rag that tends to promote genocidal maniacs and devious filth…speaking of which I forgot Kissinger.

“With just a few keystrokes, shrewd pragmatism is transformed into terribly sinful activity.” OK, you nailed this one. Modern lame-stream journalism in one sentence.

Please consider giving up what you are doing in favour of a career in journalism some day.

Pelosi turns out to be adept doing whatever needs to be done to produce House majorities for Democratic goals.

Pelosi, like Reid, like EJDionne himself, care only for the health of the Democratic Party, a goal that is far from caring about the health of our nation.

This author may try all he likes to turn a sows ear into a silk purse, it simply isn’t going to continue to gain traction in the face of the compromising and ineffective legislation this Democratic majority continue to turn out.

Another example of specious reasoning -

The Social Security Administration is funding twenty-four million dollars for new electronic, medical records processing for US congressmen and senators. “This money will be coming from the savings to be generated from withholding cost of living increases for 2010 & 2011 in SSA benefits for the elderly, and a $2.00 increase on all medicare RX benefit co-pay.”

Since when is the SSA authorized to decrease benefits to qualified Americans in order to fund unnecessary “specialties” for members of the US congress?

Even if Reid pulled together hundreds of antagonists in order to slide a bill through - . 

What is the value of a bill that delivers much less and costs much more?  Is it a matter of New World Order logic ?

The American People need assistance from their legislators to reform health care.  Washington interprets that as requiring citizens to purchase high priced private health insurance.  Now Dionne tells us that Reid, “He united the entire Democratic caucus, from Joe Lieberman to Bernie Sanders, to support a health care bill that is the most far-reaching piece of social legislation since the 1960s.” 

Only in myopic Washington would a journalist call a Turkey an Eagle.  Reid fathered a turkey.
