   There goes the lying liberal media again, with their make-believe “moderate” myth.

   Remember how just days ago that far-left looney witch in New York’s 23rd Congressional District was called a “moderate” by the entire liberal media?

   You examined the looney witch’s stances on every political issue possible, and in each case she sided with the Demoncrats. Said looney witch was:

   Pro gay “marriage”

   Pro abortion.

   Pro union, including favoring the removal of the secret ballot.

   Pro gun control, including favoring a ban on all handguns.

   She sided with the Left on EVERYTHING. She harped about “separation of church and state”, opposed the teaching of “intelligent design”, favored hate crimes laws, opposed tax cuts, etc et al.

   And yet she was CONSTANTLY lauded by the liberal media in every newspaper I read, every teevee show I watched (outside of Fox, predictably), every blog I skimmed, as being a MODERATE.

   This is the same bee ess the lying, looney, liberal media has been pulling on all of us since the 1960s. Eveything far left is “moderate”, anything to the right of Ted Kennedy is “far right, conservative, extremist” etc etc

   I am so SICK of this never-ending, constant drumbeat of lies…

   What’s a “moderate” conservative; is that like a “moderate” Lib? Bill ayers, Kevin Jannings, Van Jones, cass Sunstein, John Holdren, Rosa Brooks, Harold Koh, Robert McChesney, Michelle Fluornoy, Jeremiah Wright… (I’ll go get more…)

   Did anyone else noticed BozOTUS marketed himself as “moderate”?
   That was change. Hope, not so much.

   Seems to be an understatement, as illusteated by our resident righty-up-thighties.

   My, my, my, methinks you doth protest too much.
   Obama is a moderate. That’s why some of us actually on the leftward side are irritated with the man.

    Just more name-calling!

    As long as you let Dick Armey, who gets his money and marching orders from the biggest domestic oil producers, do your thinking for you, your future will be the same as Hoffman [N.Y. Dist. 23].

    You don’t even know the difference between the GOP and Conservatives. This is why the Neo-Cons were able to dupe you into an illegal war in Iraq. Halliburton was near death. We had a budget surplus. So the Supremes elect “W” then Diebold [election machines] keeps the worst Pres. ever in office for eight years. The biggest transfer of wealth in our history has created more billionaires and nearly destroyed the middle-class.

    Not one of you–yes, not one–was smart enough to know that you have been swindled, robbed and raped!!!

    Now you want the Insurers to continue to grab more than 20% of your annual income in increasing premiums and decreasing coverage.

    And all you know how to do is name-calling???!!!!!

    I’m an independent. I think the extremes of both sides are causing the most trouble for the nation. Go moderates!

    To Fox News, the Tea Party people, the “Death Panel” people, and the Far Right Rush is a Moderate.

    They hated Mccain, and will never again let someone like him get nominated.

    If your a Republican you may find yourself outside the tent.

    I’ve concluded that the Tea-Party people and the Nine-Twelve’ers (I was there on 9/12 at Freedom Plaza in DC for the big rally) - DO NOT consist of Republicans. This cartoon makes no sense to me. Nick Anderson is showing us his delusions.

    I think Nick hit the nail on the head! The GOP gets farther from the common citizen every day!

    Only liberals are allowed to determine:

    
    
    1. Who is and isn’t a ‘moderate’.
    
    
    2. Who is and isn’t an ‘extremist’.
    
    
    3. If there is a difference between a conservative and a right-wing wacko.
    
    
    4. Who is and isn’t a ‘racist’.
    
    
    5. The true meaning of any word in the English language.
    
    
    6. The true context of the intent behind anything verbalized.
    
    
    7. The true context of the intent behind anything written.
    
    
    8. What is patriotic dissent and what is sedition.
    
    
    9. What ways of making money in a capitalist society are acceptable.
    
    
    10. Why Muslim ‘extremists’ are the way they are.
    
    
    11. what an assailant is thinking when he commits a crime.
    
    

    Wait… I’ll get more…

    Church you proved my point! You think only liberals are the problem. Look in the mirror fellah.

    Y’know,church, I’ll allow that you have a coherent point of view as a libertarian and one that you have thought about, even though I disagree with it (on biological grounds, as a biologist, but we won’t go into that now). I do wish that you would do the same for those of us on the “liberal” side. We also have thought the bases for our POV’s and may have a different set of priorities than you. So who is to say which of us is right with respect to any particular case? Have you considered that just maybe sometimes we might have a better case than you? I think that the best solutions are likely to contains pieces from many different perspectives, since I do not believe in any over-arching belief or ideology.

    There are no moderates in the Republican party like there are no homosexuals in Iran.

    dtroutma, That’s not fair to Tehran. Watch Rick Steeves visit to Iran. He found that the people were well informed about international issues (some better informed about how the U.S. government works, than the man on the street here). Of course, any generalization about any country’s people is just that, a generalization with plenty of exceptions.

    fennec, that is certainly why the founders wanted free speech and the exchange of ideas . They just expected educated and informed people to take part.
