    I have only one question for the author: did you clear the recommendation with AIPAC? If not, your recommendation is just more puff-the-magic-dragon stuff.

    All of the canidates, including the Repubs, are nothing but trolling bait for the ever gullible American electorate. The issue was decided months ago by the Jewish and Christion Zionists.

    Your endorsement is day late, a dollar short, and just what I said before--pure puff.

  • New Orleans, La.

    Christopher Hayes did a decent job of stating the obvious--Obama is a more attractive option than the utterly repellent Senator Clinton, whose Judeo-Nazi hatred of the suffering Palestinians, defense of Wal-Mart sweatshops and dangerous saber-rattling toward Iran qualify her for a prison cell, not an elected seat.

    But Hayes nevertheless engages in leftist wishful thinking when he speaks of an "implosion" of the Bush agenda of racism, militarism, torture-mongering and so forth. Witness the fact that the most likely candidate for President is a seasoned war criminal who continues to publicly refer to the Vietnamese people he once dropped napalm on as "gooks" and who advocates US presence in Iraq for 100 years and immediate attack on Iran--in short, a blood-spattered psychopath of the sort American voters have always found irresistible.

    It's time for the left to speak with honesty on these matters. The German Nazis lost the war. The American Nazis won.

    It's a matter of taste whether one favors a culture with a twelve-year history of racist genocide that nevertheless produced Bach, Beethoven, Nietzsche, Celan, Trakl, Schoenberg, Goethe and on and on and on or a country with a 200-year history of racist genocide (currently in full swing) which has produced Oprah Winfrey, Elliot Abrams, Liberace, Michael Vick and not a whole lot else.
