Fareed is an advisor to the POTUS – I’m certain that AC mentioned that while introducing this Obama talking head to spew his garbage?  I’m sure that the “keeping them honest” segment mentioned that his colleague Fareed, who likes to use Team Obama talking points (read hostages and see every other liberal media hack use the same term), is a self-admitted advisor to POTUS.

Oh wait…he didn’t mention that?

bwahahahah

CNN, complete nonsense network; not to be trusted.

Fareed’s rating are so bad, he has to say something to get attention.

Trouble is, he only gets noticed on Mediaite!

Why give them so much credit, when they are still saying that they are not happy. They got nothing, this is what Boehner has always want. 

Zakaria gets it right on both the debt factors and the Tea Party.  The enablers of the mainstream GOP are realizing they’ve allied with the devil.  ‘Hostage takers’ is too kind, however.  The Tea Party is a hostage taker of the type that would hold a baby up as a shield. 

Hostage takers .

Terrorists .

You forgot to say ” Extreme “.

The Tea Party is an incorruptible group of non-politicians out to save America .

The hacks in Washington will never get it .

Oh if you’d prefer to get your ‘news’ from past, present and future GOP presidential candidates and their sick-o-phants you can stick to Fixed News of the World.

Oh if you’d prefer to get your ‘news’ from past, present and future GOP presidential candidates and their sick-o-phants you can stick to Fixed News of the World.

Oh, I agree that the Tea Party lost on all fronts on this issue – but that they are as Zakaria described is also true.

More proof that those on the left can say pretty much whatever they want and get away with it. This guy is nothing but another hatmongering democrat activist posing as a journalist. 

So why are they whining and not vote for something they supposedly proposed?

Fact: Only the devils party wants to steal from others and that party is the demarodents!

Friday’s TV Rating are in

99er: ‘We Are Living in a 3rd World America’
Congress did not include any extension in this debt deal for
unemployment benefits, meaning the 99 week program will expire at the
end of this year. And anyone who loses their job after July 1 of this
year will only get 20 to 26 weeks of unemployment. Rhonda Taylor,
Advocate for the 99ers National discusses.

Actually, that’s not true. Mr. Zakaria is oft-discussed in more learned political circles. His work is not for the lazy and ignorant to be sure. It demands much of the reader/viewer, my way of thought and analysis. Reading and viewing him are always rewarding, however. He advances collective thought and wisdom unlike many of his contemporaries.

Fareed, aren’t there some damn Elephants somewhere close, that needs
someone to feed, water, and keep their enclosures clean?

Bill, I was once where you are with the Tea Party, but I lost my patience with him. I’m not willing to say any longer that they are a wrong-headed lot, but they are doing what they believe best for our nation. They are simply angry, ignorant bullies. In that regard, they share many of the attributes of terrorists.

Fact: Tea Party saves America again. The group has to be the number one Super Hero’s of America survival! God Bless The Tea Party, and God Bless America for having such a group devoted for helping all Americans.

Fact:

 they share many of the attributes of terrorists.

Tea Party doesn’t ever act as the progressive lunatic cult does by making phony claims or use Chicago thug tactics like SEIU beating and punching to silence opposition. You are an ardent liar.

Fact: Disqus is crap double post that!

steal? oh you mean taxes. yes i guess you can call that stealing. even though if we didnt have taxes we wouldn’t have public transportation, or the FAA, or the post office, or public schools, or the military, or traffic lights, or streets, or highways, or the police, or the fire department, or social security, or medicare, or really any type of infrastructure whatsoever. You see let me learn you something. Our tax dollars go to fund these types of programs, which the government runs. these programs are beneficial to the general public, thats why we as citizens feel its reasonable to pay them, because we get a service from the government in return. I know conservatives might not believe this, but there are people in the U.S. that like these programs.

True heroes sacrifice for all, not for a select few.  True patriots love their country and embrace all of its ideals.  The truly brave do not blindly attack those with opposing points of view while hiding behind a screen name.

I swear, you cannot make this ridiculous nonsense up and make it believable.  Fareed in one conversation decries the House for holding things up and saying it is a threat to the democratic process, but then he touts that the President should just bypass Congress entirely and pass things by fiat. It’s like this guy does not even listen to himself in order to blather his agenda.

“But if you control just one of those three branches of government, you can’t hijack the entire system and say I’m going to blow the country up unless you listen to me.”

Fareed, I want to introduce you to a new term (and by “new” I mean centuries old) which is “Checks and Balances”.  That is so one branch does not control the entire government. If this agenda is stopped in its tracks that is not a hijacking, it is a check to the system, by design of the founders.

And of course, this week we have seen proof that all that blather recently about the “New Civility” in political discourse was in fact complete balloon-juice.  “Hijack”, “Hostage-taking”, “Terrorism”, “Blow the country up”. This has been the narrative on the tea-party for days on end. Remember all the shrieking we heard when such violent verbalism was accused of coming from the right?  Now it is an acceptable political argument.

The words “blow up” was used 3 times, “hostage” 4 times, and “hijack” 1 time, all within in a segment of less than 6 minutes.
 
I tend to agree with Bernie Goldberg that the left having realized that the terms “racist” and “racism” have become irrelevant/meaningless when used to attack opposition from the right, they have now ALL resorted to the throwing the terrorist narrative against them. The funniest part of it all is that one person in the left lunches the word, and since then EVERY other politician, pundit, and left-wing media have used it consistently in the past week just like it says in their play book. These were the same people reluctant(some totally refused till now) to call the Muslim Fort Hood shooter a terrorist after killing his fellow service men and yelling alahu akbar during the act.

Royal Dimwit, if you were as intelligent as you try to convince people you are, you’d be a freaking genius! 

Liberals, PLEASE keep this up.  You’ve already lost a huge portion of the Independents.  This should take care of the other 30%, still clinging to “hope and change”.

Zakaria is just adding his portion of the over the top and ridiculous rhetoric in the re-elect Obama and take back the House of Representatives campaign. Just more reprehensible behavior demonstrating what he and they stand for.

Actually the party is tomorrow.  But what do you care about facts.

….and there are people in the US that believe they could be run better, faster, cheaper by the private sector. Stealing money from taxpayers in the name of the common good is wearing thin. Yes, and I mean steal.

If you think that the private sector cares about anything except profits then you’re either naive, a dunce or just willfully ignorant of reality

The tea party is representing their constituents who want to reduce spending.  Fareed has lost a lot of my respect here. The tea party are using their votes to represent their voters. Leadership has consistently said default would not happen.   The democrats simply are incapable of cutting spending, and these discussions prove it.  Anderson Cooper, as usual, was very fair and shows why his show is a beacon of sensibility at CNN. 

Fareed needs to re-read the constitution. You can argue many things, but this is democracy in action.  If he hates the small-government concept, he’s going to REALLY hate the next election.  

Interesting article on the TEA Party.

The Tea Party, the debt ceiling, and white Southern extremism: http://www.salon.com/news/tea_parties/index.html?story=/politics/war_room/2011/08/02/lind_tea_party

Have you got anything besides racist remarks?

Yet in every poll the Democrats continue to always poll higher than Republicans and the POTUS always polls the highest … usually by double digits.

What the hell was racist about that?
Is there anything in this world you LibTurds DON’T consider
Racist when someone makes a comment you may not like.

More GHOP signs & symptoms.  People with a sickness of the heart and soul.  A distinct pathology which can be readily observed.  They are an abomination of rational thought & being.

Fact: Copy/Paste it in all threads hack!

Nowhere in your blather did you dispute a single thing that Zakaria said.

What is that supposed to mean exactly?  Zakaria’s background is more elite than probably that of anyone in this thread, and his family has been so for generations.

I’m not saying that in and of itself makes him any better than any of us, but your inane comment goes down the wrong road… so try again (if you must).

Fareed Zakaria is quickly building a reputation for sharing frank and candid opinions on political factions with whom he holds in particularly low esteem.

 
Rewrite:

Fareed Zakaria is quickly building a reputation as an extremely biased far-left fringe bombthrower who doesn’t see Muslims as terrorists, but instead White, fiscal Conservatives, which is why he is a darling of Obama and the far-left fringe media jagoffs

FZ is quickly turning into one of Obamas favorite con men.

You have to wonder if Fareed will fly on a corporate jet to Chi-Town for the “Barackapalooza – Big 5-0″ extravaganza.

FACT:  Fareed is a political racist of the first order.  He is enjoying a gift of America called free speech.  However, no where any where does it give anyone the right to their own facts!  Their own opinions, yes….BUT not as a journalist…is he a journalist?  Where did he go to school?  Oh…Oh….I forgot he had the lefty chip embedded in his frontal lobes!  I ask you:  if 95=98% of all media, academia, unions, celebrities, producers/directors, every level of lower education and bureaucracies are, by their own admission and their dollars via contributions, uberprogressive leftists of the worst sort, why should any American with a brain possibly believe a word written spoken or film!!!!!  However, if you want to see just what “bias” means, watch Frontline Club of the UK at C-Span to get a hint of how any media type comes out brainwashed….remove the chip Fareed…Harvard won’t mind!!!!!  My best description of these “people” is the Blind, Deaf and Dumb Club member.

Where did this Fareed guy come from? How does he know so much about who IS and who IS NOT a terrorist?

What makes him such an expert on American politics? Pa-leeze. Another prime example of immigration policies being overlooked by this administration. 

She really should have linked to an article that wasn’t so easily dismantled. First of all, Going to Salon for any kind of objectivity and full context is an exercise in futility. Their lack of integrity renders them of no value.

Quinnipiac Poll Pennsylvania 2012: 52% Say Obama Does Not Deserve Reelection, Only 42% Say He Does
———————————————————-
Generic Congressional ballot: Republicans 43%, Democrats 39%
 ————————————————————-
Americans’ political ideology at the midyear point of 2011 looks similar to 2009 and 2010, with 41% self-identifying as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 21% as liberal.

Now that we know what you think of Fareed, what about Obama?

For a kitty you are not very progressive.

Fareed has no idea about any of which you speak. He only knows what the trainers tell him. In short, another liberal moron in a suit on TV.

You assume he got his citizenship during this administration?
Got proof?
Never mind. Just continue to feel victimized.

“The truly brave do not blindly attack those with opposing points of view while hiding behind a screen name.”

Does this mean we all have to like vanilla ice cream too? Have you ever served anyone but yourself? It seems not. Just because some of us served does not mean we have to like or support your talking points. As a matter of fact the opposing viewpoint is what makes our country great among the nations of the Earth.

Hiding behind a screen name? Have you been paying any attention to current events of the last twenty years? There is a perfectly good reason for screen names – security. Personally, if Dennis Chimelis is your real name I think you are not the smartest for being open to the internet with your identity.

Sorry, but attacking people because they choose to take some measure of security is just plain dumb.

The tea-party are the ones who need to re-read the constitution and  adhere to the oath of office they took when they became members of congress.  They have all signed another pact with Grover Norquist which they believe supercedes the oath they took to protect and defend the constitution of the United States. With this signing they have pledged alliegence to just 2% of the American population and told the rest of us to go to hell.
It seems absurd to claim the Democrats are the ones who are incapable of cutting spending as it(attempts to control spending) only seems to happen when a Democrat is in the White House. Every republican president has run the deficit through the roof while in office, then whine and cry Democrats are the spendthrifts.
If Democrats had insisted on even a mere 10% revenues in this deal republicans and their tea-party acolytes would have crashed the economy here and perhaps throughout the world.

I detest hatmongers. (sorry, I know you meant hate-mongers, it was just funny).

You could not be more incorrect. Could you be more idiotic?? That is a question yet to be answered.

It would be more accurate to point out that the TEA party demand for party discipline is akin to the Marxists and Fascists of Europe in the 1940s.

Neither Zakaria nor most of the main stream media have any idea of what the Tea Party is. So as far as his description and your agreement of same, both of you know not of whence you speak.

Apparently you don’t have a clue about the Tea Party either.

And therein lies the problem – “He advances collective thought and wisdom”, the keyword being collective. Are you guys going to let the Soviet style communism sneak in under your noses because fancy guys in suits call it some other name?

He is a freaking genius – emphasis on the freak.

No need to refute the pronouncements of an idiot. He is not worth the time and effort.

While you prefer the democrat party propaganda mills you consider news? Lately, the track record of MSNBC and CNN have been scrutinized and found somewhat lacking in the factual foundation department.

very good comment, but you forgot that you are commenting to JoeJ and his comments show clearly, that he is not very educated and to top it of, he has NO class!

Seriously, your constant charges of racist are getting tired.  Grow up!

Oh my God, Grover Norquist is Hitler.

That is YOUR assumption. I just asked questions.

How you respond is on you. Projection is an offensive accusation.

To this moron anyone who isn’t to the left of Stalin is a far right extremist.  Why does this joke have a platform to spew his hate?

He even kicked off his week of partying with a campaign speech from the rose garden right after the Senate passed the hostaged bill.

 Fareed Zakaria, hmmmm. Name sounds like a terrorist’s name.

You see Mr. Zakaria, that is how you properly smear someone. There’s no need to debate someone on facts, or on the logic of their argument. We just slam them and move one. No logic needed.

 Fareed = communist.

CNN never met a muzlim terrorist, that they didn’t want to hire.

Oh, man you are really stretching it! Personally, I think the statement “he advances collective thought and wisdom” doesn’t really make sense, by that I don’t think it means what the writer meant for it to mean. But for you to pull out the word ‘collective’ start on a Commie jag is just the kind of obfuscation that makes having any kind of meaningful dialogue impossible. Yeah, Fahreed is a Soviet style Communist.

The guys in bed with Joe Biden. Watch out for those teeth Joe..

You’re confused, goat-boy!

Marxist = democRATs

Fascists = liberals like yourself

dude , the only marxist and fascists are the regressives who want to controll the populace with higher taxes and more intrusive gov’t . you should really learn some history .  what tripe !

Anderson cooper is an even bigger jackass, than this muslim no-nothing Fareed

The Elephants would probable stomp him, after one look at that Evil grin of his.

So you think trash is “elite”, that figures since you admit you can’t understand a simple sentence.
It’s not you’re fault, you’re simply the product of a lousy education.

How can CNN keep this zealot on the airwaves?   His “coverage” of the tea party and debt ceiling negotiations is just invective and name-calling.   This is why the mainstream media  in general — and CNN in particular — have been written off by millions of viewers.  The spin and bias is spread on so thick, that you can’t even detect the actual news story hidden beneath all the mud-slinging.  

Keep up the Good Fight JoeJ, you’re way better than these liberal pukes,
see ya round.

Odd, the only coverage on Mediaite of the overheated rhetoric of the left regarding the Tea Party is this favorable column about Zakaria. Nothing about Joe Nocera, Thomas Friedman, even Biden. Considering this is a website ostensibly devoted to media coverage, it’s a rather remarkable blind spot.

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/273444/hell-you-people-jonah-goldberg

Hostages?  There was nothing stopping those legislators from voting to increase the debt ceiling other than their fear of what would happen at the ballot box.  Fareed, you American-hating, dishonest windbag, THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT.  How utterly filthy to refer to these people as ‘terrorists.’

What Zakaria really means to say is “Why do we have to keep messing around with all this democracy stuff? Why can’t we just let Obama make all the decisions? He is the Chosen One, after all.” He has essentially reversed the meanings of the words “democracy” and “dictatorship” to serve his spin and hopes that no one will notice. Whatever he’s talking about, he certainly has no understanding of American democracy.

That’s the state of the modern American left. If you can’t win an argument on the merits, call your opponents “terrorists.” There’s no reason that anyone on the right should ever take seriously the left’s calls to “tone down the rhetoric.” They only use that canard to try to silence their opposition.

Look at all the pundits on the left (or seriously left leaning) that have their own show:

Bill Maher
Chris Matthews
Rachel Maddow
Ed Schultz
Larry O’Donnell
Al Sharpton
Dylan Ratigan
Martin Bashir
Fareed Zakaria
Anderson Cooper
Elliot Spitzer
Christine Amanpour
Bob Scheffer
Matt Lauer/Ann Curry
Joy Behar/Whoopi Goldberg/Barbara Walters
Joy Behar (HLN)
Mika Brzezinski
Jon Stewart
Stephen Colbert
David Letterman
Kieth Olbermann
David Schuster
David Gregory
Diane Sawyer
Brian Williams
George Stephanopoulos
Don Lemon
Andrea Mitchell
Contessa Brewer
 
I’m even leaving out political analysts or contributors, as well as straight news guys like Wolf Blitzer and John King, who play it mostly up the middle but would NEVER be confused as conservative.
 
I’m probably missing someone, but by my count there are 29 left leaning political shows on TV, with 29 different hosts, multiple shows from morning till late night, blanketing the airwaves. 

On Fox there are:

O’Reilly
Hannity
Greta
Baier
Greg Gutfeld
Stossel
Huckabee
Megyn Kelly
Fox & Friends
Cavuto

and MAYBE Sheppard Smith, who if he’s conservative is the least conservative host on FOX.
 
But other than FOX you can’t name ONE conservative who has their own show. What Joe Scarborough? Kathleen Parker for like a day? LOL. Those are some weak-ass conservatives, and they never had their OWN show anyway.
 
And liberals have the nerve, the audacity, to CONSTANTLY & INCESSANTLY gripe and complain about ONE network?
 
If you dont like it, watch the dozens of other shows that cater to your persuasion and shut the hell up. There is so many liberal shows I don’t see why you aren’t happier than a pig in slop anyway. (an apt metaphor if ever there was one)
 
But you are not going to get away with trying to silence one TV network in opposition to you. Like it or not, this is America, and I know its inconvenient for your cause, but we have free speech here.

In fact I suggest you take your whine to Venezuela or Cuba where they can appreciate stifling of dissenting opinion. I’m sure you’d be right at home there.
 
 

Another prime example of immigration policies being overlooked by this administration.

Exactly.  When I saw ‘salon’ I blew it off.

Exactly.  When I saw ‘salon’ I blew it off.

No idea what the Tea Party is?  Everybody is seeing what the “Tea Party” congressmen are doing and they are using the Tea Party desires as their reasoning.

That is what he is reffering to and he is absolutely 100% correct.

There is compromise in the American democratic process.

King, do you ever get tired of patting yourself on the back?

Zakaria is a lefty…I understand why you lefties like him, however, reading and viewing him is certainly not rewarding….  a lefty is a lefty…you all are pretty much alike.  and rather boring.

So what is your point? I wasn’t questioning his citizenship. I merely made a statement that this administration is lax in enforcing immigration laws.

You read what you wanted to into it. Sounds like you’re here to pick a fight. Also, I am not a victim. My self-defense skills were well defined long before you were a thrill down your daddy’s leg.

So who is this prime example of whom you speak?

First, he is an atheist. Second, it is spelled know-nothing. Third, this man is brilliant and one of the most learned men in journalism. I know they try to keep the wikipedia pages at an eight grade reading comprehension level, but you should try working your ay through his wikipedia page. You may learn something.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fareed_Zakaria

There is nothing heroic about posting here. We give opinions, and that is all we do. But, just so you know I’m not hiding anything, my name is George Langley.

There is nothing cowardly about choosing a pseudonym, especially if it is used for humor or to indicate one’s political leanings or simply to be unique, as opposed to being just another John Smith. Would an agreement to use real names tone down the rhetoric? I doubt it. I’m cynical that way.

Final note: I try to keep my pseudonym as honorable as my real name, but I know I will be supported or attacked according to my opinions, not my name.

All the sick-o-phants are on CNN and MSNBC,,, I realy don’t knoe wat you’te talking ’bout fool!!! 

That guy is a total joke and disgrace to CNN,,, They should ship his ass back to Aljazeera. I’m sick of him and redical idealogies being preached to Americans.

Boy, the trolls are out tonight.

Actually, that’s not true. Mr. Zakaria is oft-discussed in more learned political circles.

Sure. Beck talks about him pretty frequently.

In what way?

>> Colby Hall (quote): “While some opinion media types have made hay over rhetoric from the left
that have compared the Tea Party to “terrorists”…

Oh, good. We’re gonna agree that calling people terrorists, for simply having a different opinion, was clearly over the top. And the Left was waaay out of line. Glad we’re getting THAT out of the way.

>> Colby Hall (quote): “…Zakaria’s larger point in likening them to hostage takes is that the threat to potentially have federal government to default on its debts seems to many to be an irrational negotiating technique, like a hostage taker who threatens to kill his captive if he doesn’t get what he needs”

Oh…wait.  Even though Zakaria is spewing utter bullsh*t in his usual village idiot way, I didn’t realize Colby actually wanted to hand him a Monopoly “get out of jail free” card by offering up some truly lame ass, ridiculously rationalized excuse.

Sorry, my bad!
I’ll know better next time!

There is a lot of private sector stealing from the government, too.  Medicare dolls out millions for unnecessary tests.

Zakaria is boring and predictable. He POV reflects the standard NYT-Guardian-Left Wing Globalist opinions and value systems that place ultimate faith with guided decisions made by educated insiders and experts.
God forbid that any kind of democracy exist that would place limits of government by experts.
Zakaria does not believe in American exceptionalism either.
Even worse, he is just plain wrong to claim that this process was held “hostage” by the tea party. First, Obama could have pushed the issue well before the deadline. Second, the Senate had not passed a budget in two years and even rejected the WH budget – but Dems could have cut a deal while ago (with plenty help from the RINO’s). Third, there was no honest discussion of entitlements and other causes of the exploding debt- we got class warfare, scare seniors and threats of this massive default. 
Zakaria is no where near the scholar or political scientist (left alone his medical training) that Charles K. is., this of him as a low rent, Arab version of Tom Friedman. (who is equally predictable and often wrong. 

Your words. Not mine. :-)

I bow to your expertise. What gave him away? His disagreement with you?

>> Progressive Kitty: “Yet in every poll the Democrats continue to always poll higher than
Republicans and the POTUS always polls the highest…usually by double
digits.”

Sorry, Kitty, but you’d better see your eye doctor soon — or at the
very least, take off your glasses and wipe them clean — because clearly
you can’t read numbers. Progressives like you love to selectively quote
poll numbers — I’m talking about the numbers where people will
basically say that they “like” Obama as a person…in other words, they
wouldn’t mind sitting down and having a pizza and beer with him…

…But that’s entirely DIFFERENT from the poll numbers that ask people
if they want him back AS PRESIDENT again. Because those numbers reflect
these cold, hard FACTS:

The national Gallup poll has an “unnamed” Republican beating Obama by
7-8 points. That means Obama sucks SO MUCH that you don’t even have to
specify “who” the opposing candidate is going to be and he STILL loses
to that person.

His support among Independents has evaporated…

He’s at the LOWEST approval rating in his presidency…

EVERY manufacturing number across the board is DOWN…

Consumer confidence numbers are likewise DOWN and hitting RECORD LOWS…

The value of people’s homes and retirement funds are IN THE TOILET…

Wall Street tumbled BIG for the 8th straight day, and is back under 12,000 and still dropping…

And on Friday, we get the latest unemployment numbers.

And how bad will those be? Right now it’s at 9.2%.  As an economist
noted today on one of the talking head shows, for that number to
drop…to help Obama…the economy would have to be creating about 150
thousand jobs per month. Unfortunately, economists are already saying
there’s simply no way we’re gonna hit that number. In fact, it’s not
even gonna be close. AT BEST we’re only creating between 50 to 60
thousand, which means you’re not even creating HALF of what Obama needs
to save his job.

Right now the REAL unemployment number — taking into account those who
are unemployed, work only part time at best, or who have given up
working — is actually at a staggering 20%.  Think about it — that
means 1 out of 5 people in the U.S. are out of work now.

Bottom line: The Friday unemployment numbers are going to be dismal. And
they’re going to be just one more thing that will SLAM the door closed
and throw away the key on any chance of Obama getting reelected.

Look at the comments she is commenting about, and drop the double standard, child.

OK. Tell ya what. YOU go take care of some elephants, and tell Zakaria to clean up after donkeys. That would be childish but not racist.

OK. Tell ya what. YOU go take care of some elephants, and tell Zakaria to clean up after donkeys. That would be childish but not racist.

Devils are waaaay more evil than that. Tell ya what. Give that tax money to me and you will live forever. Or, give it to your tax accountant and he will pass it on to me after taking his cut.

I suggest you go off the grid in a nice safe place like Somalia. They have no government and no one to collect taxes.

WTG Tea Party. You really have the progressives rattled. You know when this
happens you are on the right course.

No you don’t know what the Tea Party is about. Fareed is still an idiot left wing moonbat, and from what I have read of your posts the only reason you are defending him is because you like him. So be it, it is a free country which I and my fellow veterans assured for you. You should go to a Tea Party meeting some time and see what you are so quick to find fault with. Sure there are some odd balls in the Tea Party, but most of the people in the Tea Party are regular folks who only want the oath of office all the politicians swear to be followed, and for The Constitution to be followed as well. What is so awful about that? You guys are the first to scream about your rights, but a lot of your rights are being done away with by politicians who frankly don’t care about whether you have rights or not. The Tea Party is about changing all of that and making the politicians accountable employees of the people. What part of that do you not get?

George, I agree that there are numerous reasons why someone wouldn’t want to use their real name but using a pseudonym allows for a far less civil tone on web sites with a political slant.  Opposing points of view make for far more interesting conversation but a lack of civility makes that extremely difficult.  Cheap shots and sniping is more often than not the norm.

And you may very well be right.  Using a real name may not cut down on the rhetoric from both sides but putting yourself out there when defending your point of view may alter the tone of an exchange on a website such as this one.

That being said, I’d never use my real name on Ain’t It Cool News.  Fanboys are a hostile and resourceful bunch.  I mean, heck, I actually LIKED Green Lantern…
