Re: JDHURF

Hell yes, Taibbi is awesome. His articles on RS are so much fun. This guy is a journalistic hero, and as much as he hates to acknowledge it, the gonzo torch has been passed to him. Tell the truth, be funny and original, and point out the bullshit. His articles and books are great.

@Marksnotebook For starters dumbass a duck doesn't drown ever! I said Matt is a real reporter and not some worthless pundit who reads and thinks what the que card says. Mancrush? No You being a stupid bitch? Yes

[Marksnotebook]

@gamehound83 Tell me something...if all the ducks walked into a deep lake of water and drowned would you follow them in and drown too, you sheeple? God help me as I see so many stupid brainwashed people who put their faith in some dumbass journalist who has his own selflish agenda of getting rich. And far left ta boot. Forget it man. They guy stinks... unless you have a mancrush on him? Do you?

@truthmouthpiece2 NO we can't agree as I believe the entire IRS should be abolished as we are all paying too much in taxes. I would create a Fair tax that would only be 10 to 15 percent for any item purchased (utilities exempt) and that way the people would have control over the spending of our government and NOT the other way around. You then get rid of the Illegals who are on welfare as they deserve nothing since they broke the law. That would be a start and the spending would stop.

[truthmouthpiece2]

@Marksnotebook well we can't agree then.. If you believe in corporate tax loopholes & maintaining income tax rates at an all time low for the rich while squeezing the middle & working class so be it you wont be on our side when we put an end to this bs

[Marksnotebook]

@truthmouthpiece2 Well you sure don't know much about anything other than I would sense you are black or some young guy who is white and a hippy with little common sense. There is not enough money in this nation to tax just rich and pay off our debts and you can thank Obama for doubling the debt in 2 years time from when Bush was President. I won't change my mind either. Cut the spending and cut taxes. We are paying for illegals and too many gov. counterproductive programs.

@Marksnotebook since when you need a good education to make money? YOU my friend spent too much time in school not in the real world lol. Talking about the "revolving door" was talking about gvt sorry you didn't know that. As far as gvt & IRS I know how they really work thats why ppl should throw em out & rebuild the foundations but until then, I definitely prefer to tax the higher incomes more rather than cut necessary gvt programs or suspend rights. Thats me & I wont change my opinion

This site sure isn't going anywhere. But with a far left loon like this guy who actually gets people to listen and follow him shows how much work we must do as a nation to deprogram stupid people. Sheep who follow an ass like this guy--pathetic. What is it with some of you beta males? Do you have a man crush on him or what? Get your news from many sources and not a rolling stone guy. For god's sake how damn dumb can people be?
