I commented on it last night just after 9pm PDT, expecting it to be among the first published, following their established first-in, first-out policy. Interestingly, they've now published 292 comments, some of which were, according to the authors, written this morning before leaving for work. So they've deviated from established policy. Of course, any comment after 100 or so won't be seen by many people.I wonder if Brooks has any input on this? My remarks are a bit pointed, but I wouldn't call them abusive. Could they be considered threatening? <br /><br /><i>Nice try at damage control, Mr. Brooks. You are certainly a good foot soldier for your cause. Of course, the unprecedented deluge of corporate-funded political advertising that has everyone talking has nothing to do with direct campaign spending, as you make it out to be, in this column. No, as you and everyone who has been paying attention knows, it is the direct and predicted result of the game-changing Supreme Court "Citizens United v. FEC" decision, passed earlier this year.<br /><br />I always wondered why you, who are so clued in to all things political, have never once commented on the decision. As this column demonstrates, you'd prefer that it work its democracy-crushing magic quietly, behind the curtain. </i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-36313244118005391322010-10-19T09:54:33.714-05:002010-10-19T09:54:33.714-05:00"The main reason the Democrats are in trouble..."The main reason the Democrats are in trouble is not the Tea Party movements. It is because independents have abandoned the Democrats. The polls clearly indicate indies think the party is too liberal and too hostile to business. So why does Obama take every conceivable opportunity to go to war with business?"<br />That's really a gem there huh...?<br />As some blogger pointed out in the past (who could it be?) "independent" for the most part, was just a shiny new badge, self pinned, by the Caligula junior supporters, who after 8 years of nation flogging suddenly discovered they had never really liked the shrub at all. <br />...and who else would that describe? Maybe a group who initially was too dull to realize the name they had picked for themselves, was in fact, a description of nifty sex act.<br />A group which never supported the Kenyan usurper in the first place... <br />So Dave.... the baggers are not Obama's problem, its the "baggers" that are Obama's problem. <br />Thanks DFB..you da man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-48177685255477514602010-10-19T06:51:02.056-05:002010-10-19T06:51:02.056-05:00Brooks has lost his mind.Brooks has lost his mind.mbarnatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299960213529713066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-58413474342129558072010-10-19T03:16:33.829-05:002010-10-19T03:16:33.829-05:00Right.

The warm, damp, yielding confines of Bonobo Brooks' testicsl cozy is the only place we need go to for astute political analysis. The "wisdom" of the non-existent "center".
