@Cathy “Did Maddow report restore the $1 trillion? Did Maddow report bring back the 4000 American soldiers? Did it stop any of it from happening again?”
I’m sorry but are you really that ignorant? OK, once again let me remind you that it just so happens to be the 10th anniversary of America invading Iraq. That’s why the documentary was showed yesterday.
As to whether it will bring back the 4,488 Americans that lost their lives in Iraq…that’s not what documentaries are intended to do. This specific documentary is intended to provide you with an account of what happened behind the scenes. It’s intended to provide the viewers with a better picture on how Americans and people around the world were lied to by our Government and our leaders. It’s intended to expose the those who deceived us. It’s intended to remind people of our past, so that we don’t repeat the same mistakes again.
Matthew, Yep, I’m one of those mean conservatives. I went from being poor to being in the top 2% and I don’t cry from some of the working poor. I wasn’t lucky, I worked hard. I worked 40 hours a week from 16 – 22 plus went to school. In the summers I worked 60 hours a week. I still work 60 hours a week. Everyone, I know that are still poor could have done the same thing. But they chose not too.
By the way, how many jobs did that $1 trillion war create? What types of technology do we create because of the war?
WOW…Bill O got more youth viewers than Madcow….and twice as many total viewers. And most of Madcow’s viewers were old liberal geezers…lol
Oh oh, Spongebob the movie got more viewers than Madcow’s documentary…i bet Spongebob had more truth in it too….

Yeah, you, and Jeff, and half of the other people posting here; if we take everything here at face value, this Cable News Ratings comment page attracts the highest per capita number of Concerned Small Business Owners™ people earning six figures on the entire Internet. Take that, Wall Street Journal Online!
The countries full of hard working people who will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be top 2%, or even top 25%. Sometimes you work hard all your life, and you’re just not good enough, not smart enough, or your skills not desirable enough. This will only get worse; processor intelligence growth is exponential, and the things that a human worker can do better than a machine is only going to shrink.
Please tell me it hasn’t come to this. Please tell me you’re not trying to justify a war as a job creation program.
@StanT “WOW…Bill O got more youth viewers than Madcow….and twice as many total viewers. And most of Madcow’s viewers were old liberal geezers…lol
What on earth are you talking about?
BTW, not outright saying you’re NOT top 2%, just saying that that’s practically the majority demographic here (again, if people’s posts are to be believed); we’ve got posters jetsetting in Europe, posters rubbing elbows with Sean Hannity on the tennis court (and telling him to keep up the good work!), posters going to Romney luncheons, posters bragging about their 3 houses and 5 cars… on and on.
Grammar getting worse by the post. I apologize. Goodbye.
I just read every post. Nothing but hate in here. It made me tied to read all the hate. I am going to bed now.
Mathew
How come all liberls want Darwinism taught just not practiced?
Usa888 & Mat2 just what killed the kurds bird flue?
Evening folks, don’t know if this has been posted on yet, if so, sorry
Coal’s Rebirth? This could DECREASE energy bills by a huge margin. Keep your fingers crossed.
*Researchers have discovered a stunning new process that takes the energy from coal without burning it — and removes virtually all of the pollution.
The clean coal technique was developed by scientists at The Ohio State University, with just $5 million in funding from the federal government, and took 15 years to achieve.
“The process removes 99 percent of the pollution from coal, which some scientists link to global warming. Coal-burning power plants produced about one-third of the nation’s carbon dioxide total in 2010, or about 2.3 billion metric tons, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
‘We found a way to release the heat from coal without burning.’
Also CNN is making it a real threat to take over 2nd place, this race could get fun very soon.
Right wingers- please list all of the right wing GOP accomplishments during the past 4 years, other than supporting a guy who advocated legitimate rape….I am waiting
Right wingers–please tell me how drastically spending will help grow jobs and the economy….I have had NO response yet…do any of you know? Pls advise…..
Coal is DEAD–bury it and move on……
Stan–Billo corners the market on old viewers–half his audience….but it’s not their age I’m concerned about, it’s their IQ…..

I love coal, guns and tobacco. Not really but I say that because it makes lefties come unhinged. 6 dollar a gallon gas this summer. What Obama and the left always wanted!
Obama’s a disaster. 9/11 was a disaster. Islam is a disaster. I didn’t think Clinton was a disaster, but he wasn’t exactly doing a great deal to confirm or deny those weapons we were looking for either. I don’t really blame either former president. Places like Iraq are just sink-holes that pull in anything connected with it. We’re those weapons real? Well, Syria is supposed to have chemical weapons now. Are those real?

Matthew, I don’t believe a lot of what people say about themselves online.
Bsotgnw,
How can that be? Bush and Cheney come up with this lie.
