I think I remember those black hatefest jokers.

I sent emails to the writers of the posts and C&P ed
some of the stuff.
You know I will have to look for those
That was epic.
I got responses

Have a great trip ! We will miss you.

Thats a good point, there is a lot of calling out going on.
Even from some surprises.
I thought they put Timmy G in there to battle the crooks like Roosevelt put Kennedy Sr. in that position when it was created.
I think I have that right ??
Well that may be a bad comparison but I thought you need someone who knows that stuff because that stuff is so over the heads of all but a very few.

Thats just it K, new people are going in there thinking this is the Happening progressive site and if they wander down to comments (they used to come up at the very end of the story) It’s Barry this and Acorn that what garbage.
Anyone remember the day that some one let the F word fly everywhere, for hours
whats up with that?
And I can’t tell a neadertroll to shove back to the stone age?

I try to take that energy and make more calls or write more letters and or send around more petitions.
Or just clean house and make a healthy, yummy dinner.

You know It has been bleak before but I will not be afraid.
How did that Lieb turn out to be such a Capital L Loser ?
And to think I cried when he and Gore were ripped off.

Hey Dreamy, great to see you here!

Pepe,

So glad you put this together, I can truly relate.
I did not have Parents, I had Smoke Stacks.
Tarytons, ugh, anyone remember “I’d rather fight then switch”
I am convinced that my parents would be alive today if not for the smoking.
They would be able to see how wonderful their grandchildren are becoming.
Once, out of the blue, my youngest burst into tears saying, “I don’t have any grandmas or grandpas”
You just can’t have any good answer to that because you want to cry yourself.

It is interesting to hear about what brought you and others to blogging.
A little over a year ago, I started on HP with Obama and Prop 8 in California, it was exciting.
I had been reading HP and other sites for sometime and always looked forward to the comments.
The Comments were so FUNNY!
So much raw truth and humor came across with such an economy of words.
I used to wonder if some of the posters were out of work writers.
Also, it was helpful to find so many interesting links.
Then Healthcare started cooking, my big issue.
I think I learned more from the comments them the original posted story.
When dems started getting resistant to healthcare reform.
I wanted to scream
I kept posting links to Natalie Sarkisyan story
and saying-TELL THE STORIES.
I hope it helped.

Well, I have seen the increase of these troll types, but now they spread like bad weeds
and not the kind you can smoke.
I do wonder, tho
Should intelligent, creative, progressive voices just walk away?
Who could blame anyone for never wanting to look back. Who wants that abuse?
There must be progressive type newbies and they mean well, they may
‘think’ they are at a progressive site
and all of this -barry talk- is some new norm.
I hope that anyone drawn to the progressive side of things
can see through a scam and they will put two and two together.
Those trolls have formula which makes me believe that most are coming from one source.
More often, they do seem to travel in packs.

One thing I must admit to is my own little humble campaign to bring-don’t laugh-
Classical Music to that site because of the high traffic.
Having a daughter going into that world I want to help her in any way I can.
People just may not know how good this music is unless they give it a listen.
So I give them an opportunity or two.
I have posted all kinds of music but I am heavy on the Classical.
It is the one area I feel a little confident about.

At the HP it’s much like driving the 405 near the LAX airport during rush hour, not even the car pool lane helps.
Back here, at the Planet, it feels like your are driving on the Pacific Coast Highway, refreshing & free.

Destroying Religion: The Essential Task at Hand?

Jesus Christ Superstar
was about a movement and a feeling
I was there
Not like the so called “movement” of today.
I feel the serious Christans at the time were welcoming and positive.
and today……..

My kids pediatrician, is an old timer kind of Doctor, often, I think he can tell what is wrong with my kids just by looking at them.
At our last visit, he was concerned about the H1N1 vaccine delivery and we began to talk.
I thought I was about to get an earfull of anti-reform rhetoric. Not so!
He stressed that the he wanted the insurance companies out of his business, that some one with no medical experience or education should not supersede his choices for care of his patients. I told him about my sister, a nurse, and how she spends up to 1/3 of her day on insurance red tape he just nodded and said sometimes 40% for him.
I think that poster is a insurance plant maybe?
Astro turf on the net maybe?

Entitlements

My mom supported McCain in 2000 and was very pissed off when that Rove/Bush machine
rode right over him.
She passed away a few years ago so she did not get to see Obama come up, she was a true progressive at heart.

What about the 8 years they just had ? Why was there never even a mention of health care reform then?

I am waiting to see him wander aimlessly in front of the camera.

FM-
Now thats what I’m talking about.
Sometimes they are traveling in packs and there you are,
not a lot of time or patience to battle off topic dim wits.
Who you gonna call?
Can we flash a light in the sky and call in reinforcements?
They have a formula and they keep picking on people with total immunity!
