  1. I'd rather Dent talk about that Little Ole Liar from San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi, Speakerette of the Corrupt Democrat lead U.S. House of Representatives.

  2. I'm sure you can call in and talk about Pelosi, if you get through.

  3. Maybe he can explain why he doesn't want people to have affordable healthcare.

  4. Maybe he can explain why he supports unrestricted abortion, grisly experimentation on the remains; the death penalty - even for the retarded, and two wider wars - including the expansion of drone bombings on innocent civilians in Pakistan.

    Charlie, why are you so obsessed with promoting and protecting so much death?

    Love that million dollar smile, though.

  5. "Maybe he can explain why he doesn't want people to have affordable healthcare."

    Maybe you can call in and learn that he does, which will be more than you'll learn if you call Callahan.

  6. Anon 8:18, You have the right to use that inflammatory language. You even have the right to post pictures of aborted fetuses. But it's my experience that this tactic almost always backfires on your auudience. If you are trying to be persuasive, you should change your tactics.

  7. I wish Charlie would renounce his state/federal healthcare which has all the qualities of the public option which he's trying to kill. Do it, Charlie. Stand by your principles. You're not a real American until you're denied overpriced healthcare risking bankruptcy. God bless us one and all.

  8. How about photos of dead Pakistani children and footage of some US executions? Is that inflammatory? Are the fucking wars over? Good grief. Charlie supports all of this as well as abortion.

    It's the death stupid.

    There was a time when people of conscience cared.

    What the hell is the problem with people who write stuff like this?

    Do they know what they sound like? Do they care?

    John Callahan supports all of these things as well. So does Hillary Clinton. So does Barack Obama.

    What's your point?

  11. Callahan does not support murder, you heathen!

  12. "Callahan does not support murder, you heathen!"

    He certainly does support abortion rights. Or he better if he wants support from the Democratic Party.

  13. Dent did his publicity stunt of hand delivering the Health Care House Bill to the Bethlehem Library. It was repeated across the Nation as a political stunt by desperate pols who don't care about American Healthcare.

    It is sad a nice guy like Dent has become a waterboy for the extreme rightwing of the Republican Party.

  14. This is a quote from today's Morning Call story about Congressman Dent bringing a copy of the Revenge of Pelosi to the Bethlehem Library:

    ''That doesn't mean his point has no validity,'' said Christopher Borick, a political science professor at Muhlenberg College. ''Sometimes political theater is the best way to get attention for your position.''

    What's really sad is not Charlie's right wing extremism. What's sad is the fact that John Callahan won't tell the voters if he supports the dismantling of our health care system.

    John Callahan is showing extreme political cowardice.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
