David, the thought that you actually have exposure to young, impressionable people is a scary one. Jealousy, anger and hatred are three qualities I wouldn't want near my children. |

Mocking a person as forthright as Jim about his misfortune doesn't help. Knowing how that could happen to Jim, tells me it could happen to anyone. Mock his views and demonstrate how wildly inaccurate they are all you want. |

If you are at all fiscally conservative you won't like Palin's stewardship as mayor or governer. She acted like a typical republican as mayor, forcing Wasilla into mountainous debt. I don't share her socially conservative views, but I respect them. They are probably the most consistant attribute possessed by any of the group of four. |

First of all, it's not fair - or cool - to celebrate the misfortune of others, and I want to make sure everyone understands I'm putting distance between myself and anyone who might do that in this thread. I'm really sorry that things broke the way they did, particularly with Lehman, and I'm glad to know that anyone on this board who may have worked for that company is talented enough - and secure enough financially - to quickly land on their feet. I'm really sorry that we're all taking a beating financially, and feel that nobody who's talented at what they do deserves to lose their job as a result of someone else's mistakes. |

Dan, I'm not sure what proof you expect me to show you that the New York Times has a vast liberal slant. Perhaps if you read the paper one time -- shudder -- you'd understand better. That they hired Kristol was greeted as sort of a joke in these (and most other) parts. It was done basically to say to the Republicans, "see? we're fair and balanced, too." Of course he is just the only conservative columnist pretty much in a newspaper that has dozens of wildly liberal columnists. With all respect, and I know you mean well, but it is widely accepted that the Times is a liberal newspaper. Remember, they were the ones that published the McCain girlfiend story? Without any attribution to named sources? That's like one of 1000 different examples of their bias. |

Al, where on earth did you get the idea that I am a member of the media? I have to tell you, seeing me described as a member of the media is freaking jarring to say the least. I'm a criminal defense attorney who was asked to do talk radio and I do it on occasion because it's fun to spew my insights to a bunch of people other than baseball card nerds. I do it a few times a month on average. And I would have to say that I'm guessing the reason listeners enjoy listening to me is precisely because I am not a member of the media, make relatively no income from media sources, and am not beholden to any media outlet -- even the ones I do radio for. |

I know I said I wasn't going to post again, but I want to tie some loose ends up here...I believe the NYT's leans left...I do not believe the MSM as a whole leans left. For every example you name of a media outlet leaning left I can counter with one leaning right. It is pretty balanced overall. Where I live there is no such thing as a left leaning media. There is no liberal talk radio..not a single station...there are no liberal newspapers. My local paper endorses Republicans only in elections. However I know liberal outlets exist...I may not if the internet had never come about, but the myth of a liberal media is pervasive, but it is one of those lies that if you say it enough then it has to be true. Has Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity ever done a single show without blaming something on the "Liberal media"? A lot of people in this country will buy anything hook, line and sinker...how do you explain a woman getting up at a townhall meeting and telling McCain she won't vote for Obama because he's an arab???? |

Jim - I would be curious where those statistics have come from regarding the % of voters. Sounds like racist rant to me. And two people here have called you a racist, Jim, and no denial has come forth. Guess you are at least honest about that. |

My point at the risk of being accused of being racist was that the Hispanic population is growing as a percentage of the electorate in key battleground states. Ehough so that just based on these shifts alone that it is tilting what were Republican states into the toss-up category. |

David, everything that comes out of your mouth is anger, hatred, bitterness and jealousy. You are the face of the loony left -- and it ain't pretty. You keep taking up for the poor, disenfranchised working class but you can't seem to conceal your snobbish elitism. You actually come off almost as crazy as a Ward Churchill; I suspect if we endeavored to learn your views on who really was responsible for 9/11 we'd all be in for a laugh. What is sad to me is that some insitution of higher learning would actually make such an angry, hateful little man a tenured professor (assuming this is actually true). |
