  • Uh, sure, Arianna, polling is like “looking at chicken entrails,” and we’d all be better off with more tried-and-true methods like the censorship “The Huffy Don’t Post” prefers. When I recently used The Huffington Post’s own figures to create my “Joe Averageguy” analogy, which argues that global temperatures have leveled off at best since 1998, The Huffington Post deleted my forum comments and removed my profile, Xarkonul. You can find more information at my YouTube channel (Xarkonul).

  • This woman grates on my ears- even with the volume muted. Just her lips moving is enough to know she is thinking about how wonderful she thinks she is, even if she is talking about something else, darling.

  • "Young people never answer the phone." LOL Wow! Did you actually even think about that moronic statement even just a little bit before you typed it in? It's amazing how people feel totally comfortable showing their stupidity on the internet!

  • The problem with polling is that if you are honest about it progressive liberal agenda is mostly rejected by the American people. Democracy presents the same problem, which is why progressives don't care for it that much.

  • @MrFreeLibertarian

    The problem with polling is that young people never answer the phone, don't have a landline, or are just too busy to give a response. The only people who are reliably going to answer a phone poll are old people with nothing better to do.

  • classic limousine liberal

  • id like to pole her alright and im 20.

  • How about the problem with Arriana? She talks about ideas about ideas about what was said and who said and why it was said. In other words, TOTAL BS!!  Who cares what she thinks!!!

  • @xmenrus: So she just repeats what other people saying without contributing her own personal ideas...agree..

  • She was married to a republican millionaire but when he lost his bid to be a California congressman, she dumped him while also divorcing him and sold her soul to the democrats. It was a remarkable 'turn on a dime', sort of speak; I suspect it was a lot more profitable than the proverbial dime. Some women of little talent seem to sell what they have that is salable. Some people even sell their souls when they have no intellect.

  • @xmenrus: Agree, sorry about how I wrote my past comment.. I just read it and it seemed a little off in the way it was written.

  • I agree with Arianna. You have to really listen to what she is saying here. She is not saying that polling is bad, she is saying that it is wrong for politicians to base almost everything they do on polling.

    Her example was obviously perfect: If Lincoln had listened to the polls before he decided to free the slaves, it would never have been done.

  • I AM A LEFT OF LEFT LIBERAL AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS PERSON IS A HYPOCRITE

    HUFFPOST CENSORS WHAT EVER THEY LIKE AND THEY DO IT ALL day long

  • Nevermind problems with polling Arianna! How about running a website that allows apposing viewpoints.

    I challenge anyone to go to her site. Pick ANY article you want and simply mention that Obama is no good. All you have to do is mention he's no good or will damage our country, and your post is as good as digital trash. Liberal censorship is hilarious!

  • Mysogonists seem to be ubiquitous on the web, huh?

    An intelligent, articulate and accomplished woman, with insight ... I've long respected her.

  • where is this skank from?Most people from iron curtain countries are very embracing to american freedom.

  • this bitch is a supporter and probably a financier of code pinko.susan "medea" benjamin writes articles in her paper.we know where their sympathies lie. hugo c.of v.

  • ok.

  • Polls are a joke, they only call land lines. No cell phone calls. That cool if all you want is a bunch of people that can't deal with the complexity of technology(republicants). How many people do you think still use a land line as their primary phone?

  • lmfao

  • me too,

  • The problem is, it's rigged.

  • i think she is hot!

  • I now feel sick

  • Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss

  • Arianna is awesome

  • She censors her comments on her blog. Just for disagreeing with her in an op ed article I got my comments deleted.

    How awesome is censorship!!!

  • thats not censorship, thats monitoring.

  • War is peace, ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery and censorship is monitoring... call it what you like, it amounts to the same thing...

    It's double plus ungood when you cannot even disagree with her opinion. Dare you to try it. If she was that smart and that clever she wouldn't need to delete comments just because they disagree. It was not offensive, personal, rude, snide, trolling or anything. It was polite disagreement and that was all it took to get it removed.

  • I had no idea who he was until now. Now it's obvious why Huff post does so well. She's astute.

  • Sometimes. But she doesn't seem to like people disagreeing with her at all.

  • She rocks!

    Obama Biden 08!

  • obama/biden? really? you want more war, more corporate welfare and no represenation. too bad. raise your expectations! every single progressive should be voting for ralph nader! send a message to the democraps, who have sold the left out entirely! every election they run right. every single one. kerry did it. gore did it. obama is doing it. he will not govern progressively. he will disappoint you. and you, who keep voting for crooks, will, unfortunately, DESERVE it. fool me once, shame on you...

  • it has become painfully clear to me that the democraps are just as intellectually bankrupt and idiotically partisan as the repukes. Idiots on the right vote repuke and dont get representation. idiots on the left vote democrap and dont get any representation.We have NO opposition party-we have one big corporate party.I will NEVER understand how any of you can keep voting for these BLATANT crooks.I mean,they dont evenPRETEND to work for the people anymore-keep throwing your vote away on democraps

  • Well look, man, it's always going to be between a doushbag and a turd sandwich-But you have to vote for one of them.

  • why do i HAVE to vote for a corporate crook? I'd rather stay home and not vote at all than continue mindlessly throwing my vote away on democraps and republikkkans. If nader wasn't on the ballot, I would stay home. But he IS on the ballot- thank buddha- and he will get my vote. I am PROUD to vote for nader. Imagine being PROUD to vote for someone instead of having to hold your nose while you vote for a turd sandwich. doesn't that sound NICE???

  • Arianna!!!!! Love her!

  • id bang the *&^% outa her!

  • Dude you need eyeglasses

  • The real Arianna Huffuington married a rich oil millionaire Republican who was a freind of the Bush's. Campaigned for her husband when he ran for a Republican seat in the CA H of R. She campaigned for her husband, courting religious conservatives, arguing for smaller government and a reduction in welfare. She gained the majority of her wealth when she divorced her rich oil millionaire husband.

    Her web site is a farce. If you make any negative comment about a democrat it's deleted.

  • my experience confirms that. i've been trying to post pro-nader comments and they will not publish them. democraps suck as bad as repukes. wake up you phools! vote nader 2008!

  • Hey what I wrote was pro-Obama. It just disagreed with her.

    Awesome... she's like *yawn* a joke to me.

  • can ANYBODY actually defend the democraps? seriously, i challenge anyone voting democrap to justify their vote. I say you are throwing your vote away on a corporate party that has done NOTHING for you. Tell me why I'm wrong. PLEASE! votenader.orgasm :)

  • There are MANY reasons but first and foremost McCain will NOT be in office. Nader may be good but I cannot afford to waste my vote...not this election, its too important.

  • okay. so, instead of mccain increasing the pentagon budget and supporting endless wars, we can have barrack obama increasing the pentagon budget and supporting endless wars. wow. what a difference. what a JOKE. STOP VOTING FOR CORPORATE CRIMINALS- DEMS AND REPUKES ARE USELESS.any progressive person voting democrap is a complete ignoramus.you are WORSE than those idiots on the right who vote repub because of gays, guns or abortion. You're WORSE because you are 'supposed to be' educated.votenader!

  • i asked you to tell me what the democraps have done, and you reply by saying 'well, john mccain won't be in the white house'. Okay, I get it. But WHAT HAVE THE DEMOCRAPS DONE for progressives over the last 30-60 years? Since the new society of johnson 30 years ago- the democraps have COMPLETELY sold out to big business. they dont oppose the repukes on ANYTHING and when they get elected to end wars, they refuse to impeach and continue funding illegal invasions. HELLLLOOOOO???? seriously, hello???

  • If Huffington Post isn't the greatest act of repentance of having sacrificed values ...I don't know what is. They'll have to make her a saint now. But one must also try to remember that the Republican party had never been this ...evil. Bush has become the puppet for neocon agendas, and indeed the lunatic fringe has hijacked the right. Ron Paul would be a true conservative republican. The most de-evolved party is now the one that doesn't support evolution, and whose sitting president is an ape.

  • She's way too intelligent, she's like a genius, she needs to run for Senate.

  • She is?!!By what metric?

    I guess Palin is your kind of chick. "Thaynks..but no thaynks"

    Here's why Arianna is totally attractive ..to most mentally active humans anyway: She's smart, funny, attractive physically ,vocally and verbally...and she's strong. She's hard as nails...that's very attractive as far as I'm concerned. Nothing like an objective woman with principles and a moral compass to get my fires burning :) . Alright...I'll say it..she's perfect, and I fucking love her.

  • what is this womans ex doing now

    why dont we ever hear from  him

  • Does that matter?

  • I agree, Arianna makes a lot of sense.

    I also enjoy The Huffington Post.

    5/5

  • Ariana is 100% right.

    The media is overdoing it with opinion polls which are all randum sample groups, and meaningless people who are not running for office. I whant to know what the politicians stand and they will do for me, so I can make my opinion for or against.

    Politicians no longer stand on principle beleifs, but base their opinions on public opinion polls.

    The main stream media has been guilty of driving public opinion in past by providing skewed facts and opinion polls.

  • cougar!

  • i don't know why but i'm attracted to arianna huffington.

  • Cuz she's intelligent and physically attractive, a very deadly combination. But as we all know there really is no such thing as a smart pretty woman, I smell succubus....

  • RexT42

    For someone who claims to be an Atheist who is a "religious major!!!???" I find it quite outlandish and bazzar that you would refer to her as mythological creature such as a succubus. You lack much judgement in that comment. I hope you would relise that open minded unhindered intelligent women is a necessity for our next step of human evolution. World progress is being held back just because of unwise absent minded macho egomaniacs such as yourself...wake-up!!!

  • Don't get me wrong, I was being sarcastic. I love Arianna Huffington. Looking back at my comment I can see that it was in bad taste and I could have worded it differently. I meant no disrespect to her or women in general.

  • And what's your excuse for Sarah Palin. She is only there because she puts the viagra back into John McCain's campaign. At least Arianna has the balls to tell us what she thinks.

  • The Democratic Ann Coulter. You member, you member,....

    What a dumb shit.

  • Agreed!..lol. ^_^ I'm confused. She says that poll numbers are meaningless, but references a satistic. She was talking about why did hillary won in new hampshire and she says it was becuase there was double digit undecided. They ignored that "fact".. Now where did she get that idea that there were double digit undecided. Who did they ask? who did the POLL? .. Ironic? "that fact..."

  • cant1be1original

    She makes her argument with the Abe Lincoln point. That polititians use polls like a crutch and are afraid to make any meaningful policy movement without looking at polls.

    Media and Polsters have a tendancy to drive public opinion by cleaver questions in polls. Also getting a true representaion of a populations opinion in randum polls is like rolling the dice...it's all chance.

    If politicians are realy concerned about opinion they should do referendums.

  • shampoovta

    I think you and Ann Coulter have more in common on many plains then Arianna could ever possibly have with Coulter by far. Besides Coulter is a clueless idiot ( re: watch?v=LmcZG87Fmxc ).

  • Aegialeus, You say "polititians use polls like a crutch and are afraid to make any meaningful policy movements" and that the polls are meaningless anyway, becuase you say they "drive public opinion by cleaver questions". My very point was that she's using a POLL NUMBER HER SELF. When she says that there was "double digit undecided". Where did she get those numbers from? PEOPLE WHERE POLLED AND SHE took those numbers and used them; even calling them facts. When she says polls are useless. Irony?

  • cant1be1original

    Listen, being an undesided is more of a fact then being polled as a decided. If you were to take a random poll lets say for anything, "the fact that you are undiced" OR DECIDED in a poll is useless on how accurate the poll is until after the vote. GET IT? In otherwords, you are undecided untill you vote regardless of you say in a poll.

    Therefore she is RIGHT in saying polls are useless Irony. Do you get it now?

  • The only real way we can get a consensus of what the general public thinks is to ask them a question. Oh, wait. What do we call it when we ask large # of people a question. Oh, a poll. Thats right, but you know what maybe you are right. Your so right that polls are pointless that hell.. We shouldnt even have elections!

    Really?She defeats her self and your self when you both say pollings bad, but cherry pick the results that are important to you.

  • cant1be1original

    POLLS ARE CHERRY PICKING!!!

    If you whant a consensus on what people think then you must ask everyone. But keep in mind their answers will have an expiry date, some more so some less so, because opinions change more or less. Get it?

    You just made your self into an ass by stating, "We shouldnt even have elections!"

    I strongly believe in direct democracy and referendums more so than this representation bullshit. Your barcking up the wrong tree, so go piss elsewhere.

  • I was being sarcastic that we shouldnt have elections. The point was that elections themselves are a big poll...

    And I agree opinions change and I agree people cherry pick polls, but she's saying there useless.. Period and then she cherry picks a poll she likes uses it and says thats why, becuase of my satistic not there is the reason "x" happend instead of "y".. Didnt mean to be an ass; just thought you were stupid and i was trying to explain it to you why she's a hypocrite.

  • here here, great  oops dont poll this....
