Hope the link works…got this from C4P…this should mke a lot of us feel better that hopefully soon well have a strong, capable, and real adult in charge of this country!

It used to be one of the premier political sites on the net. Even Rush would site articles. Now it’s nothing more than a “who can piss the farthest” contest.

I’ll come by from time to time to scan the articles, but until you guys can rid yourself of the maggots that have infested this great site, I’m afraid I’ll have to go over to MM’s site for any actual conservative commentary.

Ahhh, drug jokes, fat jokes, insults flying…welcome to Hot Air…the devolution continues

I totally agree. I glanced at the 1st page and that’s about all I can handle. It seems as though HotAir commenters enjoy engaging juvenile Leftist trolls.

I hoped to read some interesting comments/insight on state taxes, unfair auditing, etc…, but again idiots, and idiots who engage them, overrun the comment section.

HotAir probably thinks they get more comments by allowing this, but they are probably getting LESS comments (and in turn less hits).

Why allow the Left to control and destroy what used to be a great site for conservative discourse?

That is so unkind.

Condolences to your husband. We have two cats and, as I’ve complained before, that is one-and-a-half cats too many.
Luckily, we recently got our shelter dog “Brewski” (I named her – my wife and daughter hate the name). Trying to get her to develop a taste for cat meat. Stay tuned.

Spamming is a bannable offense.

Not if the spam is anti-Palin. There are no rules that apply to trolls on HotAir.

I thought Hotair only opens its comment registration periodically. If not, that’s a winning idea.

chunderroad on April 9, 2009 at 8:52 AM

Allahpundit stated last week they will be opening registration “soon”.

Palintology: As bad as Scientology, just replace Xenu with Palin. All the rest of it follows, including the “attack, but don’t defend” and declaring opponents SP (subversive persons). Rational thought leaves them – while fanaticism for Palin replaces it.

Daddy-O on April 9, 2009 at 11:50 AM

Those aren’t blessings and his praise isn’t coming from above, but below.

Rush does love Palin.

So that’s what he calls those pills now.

I’m a New Yorker living in Westchester County where taxes are pretty stiff. I make a good living, not near the 300,000 mark,… but not all that far away from it either.

My wife and I have played with the idea of leaving NY if things get worse… which they will under the Dems. …And I have to say, it breaks my heart. I was born in NYC, I have always lived in NY, and I do so love this state. My church of the last 15 years- which in my opinion, is the best church on the planet- is in NY, and it crushes me to think of leaving it. I have seen children born, and people die, and it has become closer to me than some in my own family.

But if things get worse, I may be leaving. The one up-tick is that many in my church feel the same way, and there has been some half-joking that a group of us will leave together.

…Which is a half-serious thought as well.

…We’ll see.

The Better Half is in Virginia, struggling with contractors. My goal is to come up with an sign that will get noticed at MM’s site or Instapundit. I am not as concerned about safety as I am about one of these plants doing something totally crazy and have it attributed to conservatives. Like a nasty sign or shouting things that we would never say. Remember how the McCain/Palin events were labeled as “hate” rallies. I think the same thing is going to be tried with these.

Hi Pop. So glad you and Cap are spending all your time on google and pasting to Hotair. You could be out there in the doing something productive, like, say, supporting something instead of pushing your hate onto people you will never convince. You apparently missed class the day that techniques of persuasion were discussed. Even Cloward and Piven understood that you cannot convince the masses by directly disrespecting their staunchly held beliefs.

Limiting or editing the facts will only cause the faithful to dig deeper to discover them. You are actually promoting Palin-love, like a burr under the saddle that promotes an itch. So you can keep up the good work, and we’ll either ignore you or dig for the facts (like the long list of Palin’s successes that you notoriously neglect) and continue to admire Palin as a successful business woman and Governor. Or you can find a different hole to dig. Your choice.

fixed it….

I don’t think that particular poster is really a bad person….Cindy Munford on April 9, 2009 at 11:05 AM

I know. I was surprised at some of the attitude towards the military, (nothing too radical) but surprised none the less. I see you wrote that you’re going to a tea party. Please be careful. (I’d take the hubby if you can) Liberals don’t like the idea that Conservatives are getting more politically motivated and out demonstrating. I read sites where they discuss ways of disrupting and conducting counter-demonstrations. Have fun but be careful.

hawkdriver on April 9, 2009 at 11:00 AM

Nope, I am going to keep them and treasure them always. The sad thing is I don’t think that particular poster is really a bad person, in the conservative aspect, but deranged all the same. Just a waste of space.

Cindy Munford on April 9, 2009 at 9:39 AM

Cindy! True dat about the smokers. I also noticed you took several ROTFLMAOs from my earlier post. I hope you saved some for Captain Cut and Paste.

Attended, Matanuska-Susitna College, 1985

That’s the funniest one of all.

capitulus on April 9, 2009 at 10:00 AM

In what way is this funny? I’ve taken accounting and business classes at small and community colleges over the years, myself. Lefties are all about class and position until its time to pander to the electorate and cry for the “common” man. Palin has obviously managed to out-perform you, regardless where she may have matriculated. As a governor, she is also one of the best. You have held public office in what state, exactly?

ex-Democrat on April 9, 2009 at 10:26 AM

Awww, bumper stickers. How cute and retro. Do you do ribbon magnets too?

You can’t beat a ‘pound cat’. We got our cat eleven years ago and we love her. She is the best and adorable.

HornetSting on April 9, 2009 at 1:58 AM

My pound kitty is 15 years old. His name is Oscar but I call him my baby kitten. My husband calls him Fat Bastard.

That is so unkind.

Snowed In on April 9, 2009 at 10:17 AM

One day I thought about going thru one of the really big Palin bash-fests to figure out what percentage was the idiot trolls spamming the thread, what percentage was people hitting back at the spam and whether there was any actual discussion of the topic. I gave up because I realized it didn’t matter because, bottom line, it was a 1000+ post thread.

You know how those liberal women are.

Very large.

Short hair.

Five o’clock shadow.

Man haters.

Very large.

Amen…. The onslaught of false-fabricated news, backed up with phony polling data, is upon us.

Geez, I hate the MSM and what they have done to my country!
