isn't good for the gander anymore. We live with Alice and Tweedle Dumb now, and all the Cheshire Cats are grinning from the darkness, waiting to devour anyone with an opinion other than their own.

The rants of these supposed "celebrities" are a monopoly on the news now. Distraction-distraction-retraction-distraction.......etc.

Always a pleasure reading you SS

If we look at the parentage of Jesus and the historic legacy of Christianity it makes more sense to consider Christians to be "bastardized" rather than "perfected" Jews.

Where DID these religious maniacs come from?

For complete over-the-top and off the map religio-insanity check out Condi Rice's comments Wednesday Oct 17 as she toured the "holy sites" around Jerusalem... She even stooped to lay a wreath at the Shrine of the Nativity? Hijacking her religion for a photo-op ? Class act!

Sheesh! Now they'll have to hire an exterminator AND an exorcist to cleanse that place.

What part of: "Suffer the little children" did you not understand! Or: "unto the least of these, my breheren"?

She spouted pious christianist rhetoric while the blood of thousands of murdered Iaqi children still dripped from the hems of her reeking skirts.

Evil. Ugly. AND Insane. With 'god' on their side!

The words of the Prophet and Wyatt Earp, come to mind, " ...I am coming and all Hell is following after me..." Before this is all over there will more politicians and Religionists from both parties and every religion, flung into Hell than since the beginning of time.

It's always a hoot when the radical left thinks it can lecture the rest of us about hate. You throw me Ann Coulter, I will throw you Randi "Kill Bush" Rhodes. You throw me Bill O'Reilly, I will throw you Keith "Go f### your mother" Olbermann.

I've missed you, or have I?

Don't kick a girl "Randi" when she's down.  Give her a chance to recover from whatever she suffered.  I listen to Randi and never heard her say anything about "kill" Bush or anyone else, for that matter.

If you don't see the "rightness" of K.O., no one can help you.

Why is it always the "right avarice on elephants" that has to spew obscenities and nonsensical explatives around like the very $#@% they talk about?

Instead of right and left why can't it be about the HUMAN cost and element instead of the "bottom line" which we are all on with no choice of our own!

You have intentional ignorance Scott, following the crowd I see.

First of all, I hope Randi has a quick recovery from her fall (not mugging, but fall). Second, she joked in May 2004 about how President Bush should be assassinated like Fredo in "The Godfather, Part II". The audio recording of that joke is still available on websites like Cynical Nation and Ace of Spades. It is one of the most well-documented talk radio gaffes out there - and it was a "Kill Bush" joke. Period.

 Keith Olbermann never allows his "truths" to be scrutinized. Ever. He does not allow people with opposing viewpoints on his show. And if another talk show host (like Michael Medved) invites Olbermann on the opposing show to defend his potshots, Olbermann will not go on. This is cowardice.

...if you want to hold a three-year-old joke against Randi, go ahead.

You probably won't agree, but joking about Bush being off'ed like Fredo is nothing compared to the vile, tasteless joke  Bush told at an annual dinner about WMDs aren't here, no there not under the chair, there not anywhere, when the blood of dead American soldiers was and is dripping from his hands, as well as the blood of thousands of untold innocent Iraqis who were guilty of nothing, just as the people in the World Trade Center were guilty of nothing except being in the wrong place at the wrong time on 9/11. 

I watch K.O. everyday, and you said that before, that he doesn't invite the opposition on.

Not everyone agrees with his assessments, like Richard Wolfe,  Johnathan Alter and the NBC regular, dark hair, glasses who's name absolutely excapes me at the moment.   All of whom disagree with him at times. 

Maybe it's hard to notice because it's done in such a gentlemanly way.

"What happened to the right to peacefully protest those with whom we disagree?"

You're not serious. The original colonies were established by people who were tired of  being hassled when they tried to practice their religion. No one has the right to go into a church or synagogue or mosque and interfere with people in the middle of a religious service.

I'm not talking about  Olby's cast of regulars periodically disagreeing with him about a point here or a point there. I'm talking about people who disagree fundamentally with his basic assertions, whatever they are at the time. And if he spouts off at conservative talk show hosts during his "worst person" segment, he will never go on any of their shows to debate whatever the point was. It recently happened with Michael Medved, who invited Olby on his show to debate Medved's column about slavery. Olby refused.

Randi's "kill Bush" joke is part and parcel of the whole package: screaming, interrupting, insults, crackpot conspiracy theories, and sexual banter that makes Howard Stern sound like a choirboy.
