People that come off as ignorant idiots are freedom fighters?

I'm not saying that all dissatisfied Hillary voters are ignorant idiots but the ones that were just shown on MSNBC certainly are.

Sorry if I wasn't more clear.

The people who are calling out the PUMAs on their **** = FF

Michelle will not speak until 10:30 EST? Who the hell planned that?

Can someone from the McCain campaign please sue MSNBC for equal time? Seriously. This has gotten absolutely disgusting. FOX isn't even this bad for the GOP.

I agree.

The Democrats need more air time on MSNBC during their own  convention

MSNBC has rolled out Republican nutjob after Republican nutjob with no Democratic opposition over the last few hours. In addition to their hour-long exclusive on the PUMAs, you would think that this is the Republican National Convention.

What a brutal speech by Nancy Pelosi.

I love love love Jimmy Carter. If only he was as effective during his presidency as he has been post-presidency.

What a great Jimmy Carter video and a surprise appearance by him.

Surprise appearance? Wasn't he supposed to speak?

I thought the extent of his appearance was solely going to be in a video.

I would do dirty things to Carolina Kennedy.

I see I am the only one who enjoyed the great "four debates" canvass Leach was trying to paint.

I actually found it quite interesting, although personally I don't think he was the most engaging speaker. I think it's important for all the partisan hacks out there to remember that both parties have brought important ideas to the table over the past several centuries. The price of the Republicans Southern strategy of the late 60's/early '70s and the culture wars of the '80s and '90s was losing the likes of Jim Leach and Mark Hatfield from their congressional delegations...

There was no big loss in losing Jim Leach... he was one of the authors of the repealing of the Glass-Steagal Act.

She's kind of hot.

[ChrisFromNJ]

Oh yeah, this speech is pretty good by the way...

not watching it presently.  but I do hope it's better than Teresa Heinz' speech in 2004.

It already passed that bar, IMO.

[ChrisFromNJ]

LOL.

If that didn't score with Middle America, I don't know what will.
