...and these CNN commenters make me wince when I read what they write. I have a hard time believing that this level of ignorance could actually exist:

"Hippie Generation renamed Sexual Revolution renamed Environmentalist. Slavery renamed Reparations renamed Global Warming. Suffrage renamed Suppression renamed Equality renamed ObamaNation's Nation. Even Hitler, Stalin or Lenin could not have done any better to cause the continuance of such Suffrage on a Mass Scale." -by mojojojo65, on a discussion of Obama's trip to Copenhagen

Apparently mojo has not learned the definition of the word "suffrage" or how to write coherent sentences. We wouldn't want any suffrage on a mass scale, eh? Next example:

"Yeah Planned Partenthood! Welcome to planned parent hood! The Way of the DNC Kill the innocent, save the killers & murders, let then go he or she was broke and poor so they killed some one in there way! That's ok you'd didn't mean to kill that guy all there to old they don't need to live! Laws, Constitution, WE Won America the Change is here. What in the heck Next is Logans Run or Soilent Green! The New Amerika"- robereb's response to an abortion bill opinion piece

I think Mfairbanks' response says it best- "Reality called.  It misses you.  Come back."

"Maybe I'm a wee bit thick, but why the hell would two men want to marry each other???? I mean it's not as if they can do anything."- StanBouchos's response to the same-sex marriage bill in DC

Yeah, you are a wee bit thick. Maybe you should take a sex ed class and find out what gay men "can do"- I think you'd be surprised.

"what good does that information do us hear on earth to know this,who in the heck is goin to built a pipe line from saturns moon to pipe water to the earth to replace all the water we contaminated here on earth.Right beam my up scotty."- daffy22 in response to NASA taking the first photo of liquid on another planet

Good thing he didn't read the article, or he would have realized that the scientists found methane and not water!

"Didn't his mother leave her entire fortune to charity, leaving him ZIP? And, he was still required to care for her and be guardian of that fortune (which by the way, she didn't earn, his father earned) for a salary?

IF that is the case, then I would have done the same thing to the mother. Trying to break off a piece for him and his family is not out of line. The bulk would STILL have gone to charity. Charity= Low life's like welfare mothers, crack addicts and other hangers on. My parents died and left me squat, so I know how it feels."- by Guest, responding to Brooke Astor's
conviction of fraud and grand larceny

Sorry fella, but with an attitude like that it's no wonder they left you nothing.

I could go on, but I think the gist of them is clear. Before you criticize Congress, be glad you don't have these nutjobs in office instead!
