Get over it, Susan. Where were your complaints about BusHitler? I've heard she wasn't too popular with the folks at the Tea Party. She wrapped up early because they were chanting loudly at her while she was on camera. LOL!

The CNN reporter is dim-witted. That goes without saying. But the guy in the vid is pathetic. If you're going to depict Obama as Hitler -and I don't care if the inbred left did it to Bush- please have more at your disposal than "the pirates are in Congress, etc." They've been in Congress since Twain.

The crap that has been thrown at Glenn Beck these past few days is pure demogoguery. He sees the Country slipping at a greater speed than ever into a soft, R-wing tone, despotism that seeks to humiliate and marginalize people attached to the Founding of the Country and the Constitution.

And unfortunately, the guy in the vid is incapable of articulating anything remotely resembling competent sentiment.

It wouldn't take much either, to drive certain points home. The first being that a continuing loss of local government is not something that we're going to be happy with, in the end. We know if we need an aquifer. We won't mind paying the taxes to get one. And once that tax burden has been lifted, we won't mind paying a little more regularly to maintain it. We're adults living in a community with neighbors. We're not morons, for goodness sake!

The difference between those of us who are willing to live lives free from the intrusion of an overweening State, to die as many died before, in our homes and at a younger age than many at present, to preserve life at its beginning not at its end when death comes on its own, is the difference between being the master or subject of our own destiny.

Toqueville, when describing slavery, wrote that it dishonered labor. An overweening State dishonors honor.

This must be what solid Roman citizens felt like as the empire fell apart. Just wanting to retreat from the lack of wisdom and justice on all sides.

The maximalism of socialism, soft or hard, is suffocating.

Make that Tocqueville.

Mary| 4.15.09 @ 9:22PM

And make that demagoguery. Don't you just hate mistakes?

Yeah, I wasn't particularly fond of the Obama/Hitler poster and less fond of his lack of a rational answer.

But she was absolutely hideous in both of these videos--a ridiculous mockery of journalism.

Who you talkin' bout sucka?

I am embarrassed for that woman with CNN. She had her agenda and did a terrible job as a journalist. Her performance was ridiculous. It may be time for CNN to replace her.

The only CNN anchor or reporter I know of that is not biased towards the liberal view is Lou Dobbs. He criticizes the foolishness of both the left wing and right wing. Also, give your congressional rep an A-F grade and send a letter on GradeGov.com
