"If Edwards’ speech was a home run; Kerry’s was a grand slam."

They were great speeches, weren't they? Bush was in Ohio yesterday, as one little Ohian, I'm going to do everything I can to encourage people to vote for Kerry.

I love your quotes. I'm hoping they are to be an every Sunday thing? "

When did O'Reilly or Hannity make a Nazi reference to the Clinton administration?

Madine, please find balance. Obviously, these critics are not going to accuse Clinton of Nazism, since they saw him as a lefty out to unravel all the cherished values of the laissez-faire right and therefore a communist or socialist which flings as much mud as an extreme leftist calling Bush a Nazi.

I would consider references to Nazis to be more of an epitath than a political criticism. "Communist" is probably equivalent to "Nazi", but I think "socialist" would be a bit of a stretch.

But anyway, when did O'Reilly or Hannity call Clinton a communist or socialist?

Clinton was accused of being a murderer. Not just over Vince Foster, but also over things in Arkansas. Google will tell you that.

"Michael Moore is no more offensive than Rush Limbaugh; each has the same passion, though poles apart."

Moore is much more offensive since he wraps his extreme political views in a "documentary" cloak so that people seeing his movies often believe that he is exposing the truth when in fact he is either out right lying, telling half truths or going out of his way to deceive his viewers. Rush Limbaugh presents his view points as a conservative radio talk show, TV show, or news letter and is quite clear on the fact that he is presenting the conservative view point or the other half of the story that the main stream media is not telling us. True both have the same passion, but one is going out of his way to deceive the American people *cough* Moore *cough* and one is presenting his views in a straight forward manner *cough* Rush *cough*.

Vincible: There are lots of nuts on both sides that say unsubstantiated things.

Has anyone of Al Gore's prominence compared Clinton's administration to one of the most murderous regimes ever?

I don't recall Gore ever comparing Bush to Hitler or whatever you're referring to. The closest I could find is his (one-time?) reference to "digital brownshirts." Which is a poor choice of words to say the least--I don't want to defend it--but it doesn't rise to the level of calling Bush a Nazi. It's more like the various references to Clinton's commissars.

Whether Moore calls it a documentary or not, he is well-known for his left extremism, just as Rush is known for his right extremism and when he says: the truth is, my dear listeners,...half a brain would take it as exaggeration to say the least.

Madine, lighten up.
