We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

For some reason I am unsurprised that someone like Ray Long comes from rural Missouri. As a Missourian, it irritates me to no end to see the state (which could be so much better if it wasn't for shitty republican politicians) represented by a bunch of idiots. I wonder what the worst STATE in the world would be... We might be in the top 3.

@ KJ: MO would have to go a long distance to be the 'Good Ol' Boy' crapholes Alabama, Mississippi and Texas are.

I'm so very happy I've found you, Keth. I've missed you every night since you left MSNBC....Their loss.

Palin is a tease, a tramp, and a wannabe.

Greasy face, too. Let her fly off in that cop chopper with the rotund Chris C. of NJ.

I was very very happy when you lost your TV job and now I am estatic to see that you are now on some no where website reporting on non-issues.

I will never pay for other peoples health care or be forced to redistribute my money ... KEITH YOU ARE A DUMB BUNNY.

maybe you're happy to give all your money to the very wealthy

I have to reluctantly agree with the problem of Keith going over to a "no-where website", but can only hope that with Keith coming on board CurrentTV will make it to the big time.

I have to of course disagree completely about your assessment of Keith - he is an eloquent talker of the truth. You have to have some brains to separate truth from fiction, and clearly you do not have it.

ssoooo, in other words you're a tax evader, iamasi? I'll be glad to forward your IP address to the proper redistribution center in Fresno!

You already pay for other people's healthcare and your money is already being redistributed......upwards. You are a fool blinded by political ideology and cannot see what American politicians and the monied few are doing to this country. Sad. Truly sad.

iamasia: Surprise! Your tax money is already going to others, it is being (re)distributed upward, to the very wealthy. The joke is on you.

Let's hope there are no pandemics. To borrow and modify a phrase from Hightower, 'we are all healthier when we are all healthier.' Drug resistant TB doesn't care if you can afford health insurance and your neighbor cannot. It is an equal opportunity disease striking both insured and uninsured. We form communities to promote the general welfare. Your ever so Hobbsian world with its roughshod individualism endangers all of us. Think before you speak. Aren't you better off living in a healthy world even if it means helping out our fellow citizens?

How would Palin do on that game show Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? Maybe she could double team with Dubya Bush.

Face it, creatures like Christie, Long and Palin are not human beings...most humans are born w/ some sense of empathy for others...abominations like Palin, Christie and Long are sub-human monsters bereft of normal human feelings i.e the perfect candidates for the murderous lying thieves within the GOP.
 
 
+16 # Ken Hall 2011-06-03 16:43
A friend of mine who is interested in psychology tells me that some small percentage of people are born without a conscience. Seems like they naturally gravitate to, and become leaders of, the GOP.

@ Ken Hall: Just to expand on your point: It seems the small percentage of true psychopaths/sociopaths are drawn to politics and business in large numbers, and esp. the GOP.

Here are some traits of the Generic Corporate Psychopath:

-- Often exhibits problems in sexual behavior

-- Consistently demonstrates petty sadism and desire to hurt victims

-- Gains gratification from denying people what they are entitled to

-- Is arrogant despite incompetence

-- "Lying, deceiving, and manipulation are natural talents for psychopaths...When caught in a lie or challenged with the truth, they are seldom perplexed or embarrassed -- they simply change their stories or attempt to rework the facts so that they appear to be consistent with the lie. The results are a series of contradictory statements and a thoroughly confused listener." -- Dr. Robert Hare

Read all of them here:

Also read 'The Mask of Sanity' by Dr. Hervey Cleckley and Hare's 'Without Conscience'.

"A common characteristic is that they engage systematically in deception and manipulation of others for personal gain."
-- Dr. Renato Sabbatino

Good point Ken. Dr. Martha Stout (Harvard Medical School)presents her findings in her book that "as many as 4% (1 out of 25) of the population are conscienceless sociopaths who have no empathy or affectionate feelings for humans or animals". This allows them to viciously claw their way to the top on Wall Street, in government, as corporate CEOs, even principals of "Christian" schools. See her book "The Sociopath Next Door: The Ruthless vs. The Rest of Us"...it helps explain monster scum like Dick Cheney, Saddam Hussein, Hitler.
 
 
+10 # RSJ 2011-06-04 16:26
@ Duke: It also helps to explain the smaller fry like Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, John Kasich, Rick Scott and Rick Snyder. All sociopaths in good standing who have no concern for the damage they are doing to the lives of the residents of the states they govern. They really just don't care. The GOP embraces and promotes such people these days. Karl Rove and Andrew Breitbart would be two prime examples of the sociopath in the media; without shame, Rove concocted and spread lies about ex-Texas Gov. Ann Richards, Valerie Plame, John Kerry's war record, and former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, to name just four. Breitbart regularly releases edited videos that destroy the lives of his victims, such as Shirley Sherrod and employees of ACORN, and then cries about his right to free speech.

I'm sorry, Keith, but decades of Republican fraud, greed, deceit, and hypocrisy have exhausted my sense of outrage and numbed my gag reflex. Conservatives' have perfected the ability to simply ignore their leaders' arrogance, stupidity, ignorance, and cruelty, all to further their extremist agenda. This has created an enabling culture that licenses idiots like Sarah Palin to say and do their worst without a hint of shame or fear of consequences. Palin is just marginally smart enough to know that so long as she toes the party line, her hard-core GOP base will never waiver in its support. God help us all.

Keith, I’m a 60% disabled Vietnam combat veteran; meaning that I have paid and will be paying the price of our right to speak out on public issues until I die. You just keep telling me what these so-called public-servants are saying and doing; and from that I’ll decide who in hell is hustling who.

I listened to FOX until they proved to me that if it came from FOX its validity was at the least suspect. Those that would silence you are friends of FOX and the Limbaugh’s; you know the same ones who sought draft exemptions, when their nation needed them, only to become great warriors after the war had passed.

Let's not forget that last winter, during one of the worst blizzards in New Jersey history, Chris Christie refused to cut his DisneyWorld vacation in Florida short, even though the Lt. Gov. was out of the state. When Caring Chris returned to mountains of criticism as high as the piles of snow, he reacted flippantly by telling the media he wasn't needed because he didn't drive a snow plow.

Although the MSM doesn't report on it much, Christie is loathed by most average New Jerseyans and has managed to lose the support of previously-conservative GOP-voting groups like the firefighters and police unions. It figures the national GOP would love this bumbling, mean-spirited, fake tough guy Tony Soprano; he perfectly reflects their warped psyches.

Keith.. Word is always spread about the number of jobs created. That's actually what trickle down would have brought us over the past several years. During Pelosi's Reign, it is said that over three hundred bills were passed and then blocked by the Repubs in the Senate. How many were job-created oriented and what were they? If such was blocked, then O'Bama couldn't correctly be blamed for something that still is used and doesn't work.
