...And then comes the main point, people. When are you going to start listening to me and others like me (Glen Beck, for example).
This is a left wing reporter working for a left wing publication. This means that everything said and the motive for same is suspect. In this case, it's the common left wing error of not doing one's homework and just jumping on (or trying to create) an emotional bandwagon that ignores FACTS. This is the same mental error EXACTLY that we are seeing in the debate about Gitmo, where the retarded left wingers are finding out that their kindergarten fantasy about magically closing Gitmo has MAJOR LEAGUE problems, to say the least.<
Most of us graduated from Kindergarten a long time ago. Isn't it time to DISMISS all the left wingers who haven't in disgrace from public life and the news media? Isn't it time to IGNORE them and make it such that they simply can not compel our attention and concern?--Commenter "postman01" at Postandcourier.com on a column by Ken Burger about what could be done with the ships at Patriot's Point.
I'm not sure which thought is funnier: The notion that The P&C is a "left wing publication" or the idea that someone would voluntarily compare himself to Glenn Beck ... in public!
Keep it up, postman01.

You think he got enough versions of "left wing" in there? Good grief. He forgot "socialist," "commie," "fascist," "Democrat (instead of Democratic) Party," "pinko," and all the other meaningless and sometimes contradictory buzzwords.
I'm also not clear on another of his charges. When I was in kindergarten, I had no fantasies of closing Gitmo.
And why did postman01 take the time to write all of that only to end with a plea to ignore left-wingers? Hmmm.

Reading the P&C comment section is like watching a drunk who has pissed himself trying to pick up a girl.
Painfully embarrassing.

I don't think this is uncommon. Unfortunately I think the human race may have actually devolved (oops that would require believing in evolution), with the advent of comments on news sites.
I once picked a selection from the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press sites:
