Mr Houston, I watched the interview on King live and found some of the comments made by ventura and hughley disturbing but with some truth.Hughley never called Republicans nazis.It is so easy to miscunscrew what someone says especially when we are already opposed to them anyway.Obama has never said he is a socialist but you oppose him because he threatens the idea in which you believe.Mr Houston, be an American:God 1st,family,then country! For the record I am an Independent voter.I`m also a husband,father,minister of the gospel and a business owner who employ some great Americans and all of them make over 30000 a year with health benefits paid for.

We are indeed a divided nation more so now than we have ever been.To disagree with a certain party`s political view is exceptable.But division is far more dangerous because it weakens the foundation of life,liberty and freedom that is the center core of this great country.Mr Houston, neither party is balanced on anything.Both parties have dispayed hypocricy for years.Conservatism doesnt work alone niether does liberalism.Communism doesnt work period!! We need balance in America.Carrying this idea that everybody who`s rich,probably hate poor people is wrong labeling,or everybody who is poor must want a handout is wrong labeling.Anybody who`s a democrat must be a liberal or anybody who`s a republican must be a conservative is obserb.

BS. Obama’s, However, reinforced that he is a socialist looking for big government to take over our lives and that he thinks everything in this country is bad and only he, the anointed one, can fix it, that we Americans are helpless without him.

Thanks for stopping by, Larry, but you should stick with the Communist Party you are used to.

Larry,
Mr. McCain’s speech tonight only reinforces the republican fear-mongering tactics. Where are the plans for the future? Sounds like POW means to him “Pissed Off Warrior.” Vietnam is a war of the past. He needs to get over it. We DON’T NEED TO START MORE WARS. We need A LEADER with a VISION for America’s future, and WORK TOGETHER, not the constant divide that this administration represents.

but you have to admit that Ventura makes a reasonable arguement.

No, no one can make even a tiny, sensible, logical argument that Ventura makes a reasonable argument.

Only an idiot with no knowledge about history at all would say that ANY US politician or party is just like the Nazis. Only a very stupid, uninformed, moron would think any American Party is like the Nazis.

Actor D.L. Hughley? He’s an actor? Could’ve fooled me. I just thought he was Chris Rock-lite, and Rock in turn is just Eddie Murphy-lite.

“Denounce the pacifist for being unpatriotic and also for putting the country into danger. And yet, Thomas Jefferson said dissension is the greatest form of patriotism.”

Ventura, you’re a boob. I always see spotlight-hogging liberals cry foul about someone questioning their patriotism, even if someone just simply said, “I disagree with you.”

Additionally, I also see those same spotlight-hogging liberals not exactly receptive to opposing viewpoints. Michael Moore, the Dixie Chicks, far left protesters and others have all copped this attitude at one time or another. The WGN story is an excellent example. I also remember the story of an anti-war protest down in Washington, DC. A pro-war guy that actually served over in Iraq (I forget his name, but someone else might because this story did make the news) tried having a pro-war rally to counter them. And what did the anti-war protesters who so value freedom of speech and the right to dissenting viewpoints do in response to him? They spit on him! Something tells me that Thomas Jefferson wouldn’t approve.

I’m not saying every liberal behaves this way or that every conservative is an angel. Far from it, but to ignore the faults of your side and badger the other side as being entirely bad is shameless. Calling them “Nazis” is not only over the line, but shows a complete lack of historical knowledge. If the Republicans were Nazis, do you think they’d give you the chance to complain about them? This is what always bothers me about saying with Bush, “we’re living under a dictatorship and have no freedom of speech.” Oh please. In real dictatorships, when people protest those in power, they wind up beaten up, jailed and/or dead.

Oh, and Bush lied about the Iraq War and every sane person knows that? Then, how do you explain Democrats investigating that topic repeatedly — at the expense of doing actual work in Congress — and not finding a single piece of evidence to confirm that?

I am with on Hugely, but you have to admit that Ventura makes a reasonable arguement. Give me Jefferson every time. Every sane person knows we were all lied to about Iraq. If Bush had a good reason he should have stated. Given he didn’t indicates he did not have a reason that would stand up.
Too bad Mccain had to run with the Republicans. If he didn’t have to he wouldn’t have to pander to the ignorant right.
