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.

HASTA LA VISTA, ROVIE!!!!!
One has to wonder what he will be saying to the guys he assured that their millions are certain to insure a Romney win. When he goes back to ask for more money, will nayone take his phone calls?
This will require that he go away on vacation for a long enough time that hot tempers will cool down and he can try to con them into a new,costly scheme for taking over the nation's power structure.
N.
But please take credit for what you have done, Reader Supported News. Along with the hard job you picked for yourselves, and the articles you ran from your many contributors, you helped carry the flag.
Good for you, RSN. You done good.
I hope Fox news is finished, its a lie machine that dupes a lot of brainwashed righties. Propaganda at its worst.
Buh Bye Karl, dont let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!!
It certainly seems to have become irrelevant, which is the same as finished.
Karl Rove funneled hundreds of millions into various super pacs and got nothing; the status quo in the White House and the House of Representatives , and lost ground in the Senate. Way to go, Turdblossom! Perhaps now you will join that Frankenstein monster you created named George W. Bush in persona-non-gra ta-land.
Let us hope though that the long rightward wave started in 1980 has crested, and that we have started a swing of the pendulum back to normalcy. Obama has admirably checked their ability to pass regressive legislation and put right wing justices on the Supreme Court. But it will be up to progressives, those who cater to RSN, who will have to continue the effort to educate the American public and to fight to defend and restore progressive policies.
And another crop of spoon-fed parrots who quote Fox lies and distortions.
Til 2015, I hope you have all enjoyed the rope trick,, you were given enough. Now Congress, you have been given a reprieve but not for long.
third party let us get stronger, viable and take the seats in two years.
Enjoy your Holidays America, even disaster victims Rejoice You are alive have family, friends and Americans rooting for you.
We have a lot to do, but do enjoy the moments. When Congress gives up the Billionaires, we will party some more.
Remember Cuomo is going after them now...
I second the sentiment, but without much hope of seeing it happen. Stunningly, FOX "News" is the most watched "News" Source in America. FOX sells FEAR. People become addicted to a daily dose of FEAR. (Fear and sex are the two basic prime motivators of the human brain.)
As long as there is demand for the "drug", the dealer will not go out of business, no matter how revolting the "drug" to the casual observer !
Frankly I am happy they lost all that money ,its a good lesson on how cheating doesn't pay. Hitting those people in their wallet is the only thing that gets their attention !
Why all those people believe Fox faux News is actually journalism is beyond me .
O'Reilly," the x reporter for the gossip rag The Enquirer," has always had a reputation for stretching the truth and out right lying ! It was his job to lie about people ,he made a fortune doing it so he is right at home at Fox !
Did you mean "Bushes brain fart" as Google would say?
LOL!!!
Please, folks, just turn off this crap. Leave them to talk to themselves. The election results basically show that they have been doing just that all along.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

Not really. It only shows that lying, cheating and stealing are not the ONLY ways to run a county.
They not going away any time soon.
Oh happy day - Obama's here to stay!
I voted for Obama as the lesser of two evils, given our winner-take-all election system. But on many issues he's not even remotely progressive, but clearly, a corporatist.
2. The Body Politic in Missouri had a way of "shutting things down" when they're getting screwed. Bye-bye Todd Aikin.
3. Allan West gets kicked out of Washington, DC, because all those communists in Congress conspired to get rid of him. He's been sentenced to living out his remaining years in Florida, the American version of Siberia.
4. Joe Walsh is unable to convince voters to hate the truth; is kicked out of Congress for his heroic but quixotic efforts on behalf of his campaign to formalize insanity in politics. He goes home humiliated after being beaten by a female veteran who lost her legs in combat in Iraq - and outran him in the voting.
4. Whoever expected that a Hurricane with a woman's name would wash away Romney's hopes, dreams and trail of lies? If Americans want to believe in "signs from God", what better example is there than SuperStormSandy !
5. Richard Mourdock loses his bid for the US Senate in Indiana. Yet another example of the "Will of God" in this year's election.
Upon reflection, maybe there's something to this "God stuff" after all....
Between Prayers and Mother Nature I could not have begun to believe we would have done so well.
Vulture Capitalists just HATE it when they get no return on their investments!
LOL yes and doesn't make you smile to see them get what they deserve ( Nothing )!
But he won't give up. I heard Paul Vigurie saying that now is the change for the hard right wing to finally seize total control of the republicans. Romney was the last mainstream, big government, liberal republican who would ever get the party's nomination. Rove will join the hard right wing (he alreay is there) and bring his enormous fund raising powers into that smaller and smaller group of fascists.
If that is the way the republicans are going -- i.e., becoming totally teaparty -- they will never win a national election. But they can control the House of Reps. From there they can block the government from doing anything. As a party of "no" they can destroy the USG and throw the nation into one crisis after another. Rove and his fellow nihilists will do a lot of damage because that is the only power they have left. I think the next four years will be really ugly. John Boner probably does not have the backbone to make the fascist teapartiers happy. He will be replaced by a true nazi like Eric Cantor. They republicans will be more destructive than any hurricane.
No need to push president, he has really done some marvelous things, i.e. health care..he just needs time to complete his job.
If you are paying attention Bernie Saunder of Vt didn't go to Parties, he has started with VT an assault on GMO Labeling
Time you all get your States on Board. Let us all pick up the ball for California.
their was a loss but the percentage shows that if we persist, we can cost those slugs perhaps a billion this spring.
Boycott foods that do not label, boycott stores that back poison in your food. Let us start this now in honor of those who voted with us
You hate no one, never wished evil on someone... Kill List do you know how long you harping phonies use this... Want a Kill list let us go to Middle East and talk to the People over there and see whose kill list they are on.
Crawl back under with the GOP/TP we are tired of your bad mouth
And a quite good joke it was. Some of the folks here are frighteningly devoid of the *slightest* sense of humor.
And don't even *attempt* satire. Even broad satire, much less subtle satire, fully sails right over the heads of an *astounding* number of the readership !
Well, those things do not have to happen- THE REPUGS COULD CONSIDER PUTTING THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY FIRST FOR A CHANGE AND COMPROMISING... .there has not been a good repub LEADER since IKE.
Rove cheated, lied and had beaucoup $ (interesting that one repub quoted on news said that the Obamma CAMPAIGN outspent the Romney CAMPAIGN- neatly sidesteping the super PAC monies) and the American citizens saw through the smoke and mirrors. Thank God... if BO is smart he can now pull out the stops and if the Repubs balk give the FACTS (reasons and numbers, premise and conclusion) to the citizenry and have them write, email and embarass the slackers.
I agree and I hope he does just that jcdav instead of caving into them by giving them everything they want !
We didn't vote Republican because we don't want what they are selling so why should the man we did vote for compromise with them on issues we never agreed with them on like cutting Social Security, raising the retirement age, cutting Medicare and Medicaid and cutting all those programs that help the elderly, disabled and poor to survive in this country with its high cost of living and low wage and retirement benefits ! Those programs I already mentioned plus food stamps and HEAP aren't give away's, they are for many of us who live on a small fixed income or work for minimum wage trying to raise a family our only means of survival .
Unless you raise the minimum wage and the cost of living index to where it should be for those of us on Social Security and the working poor we will never be able to survive without these programs .
Giving into the Repugs on these issues will cause great hardship for the people who would be effected by it and our President needs to understand this !
Huckabee: "I still think Romney will win". These people have been wrong about EVERYTHING related to Obama. What do they know??
Fox is no more. Their bs has been exposed as fraud. What we knew also along. Fox debunked!!
You can't lose what you've never had.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in that studio on Tuesday evening, especially close to the corner where Curdled Rove was sequestering himself muttering Gawd knows what.
When Bill O'Reilly is the voice of relative reason and truth (note the term "relative"), you really have serious credibility issues.
Reactionaries are such sore losers in't they?!
Everybody I know who works for a living does believe "that the economic system is stacked against them".
We must put to work what we did with Bachman, Palin Overdrive....le t them go extinct like they do our Animals.
Good bye Fox not sad to see you go. Inflated Evil usually blows up in thin air.
Glad you spent all that money everyone it will be a reminder to Us Citizens and the World of Waste of Money that could have employed, fed, cleaned up, bought Gas Rights. Instead you all bet on a loser, were told GOP/TP were losers and you bet. IRS you have a job ahead of you and I will be asking my Senator to look to see you do your job.
Adios, hope you all join Rush somewhere Else.
Well, Hitler stayed blinkered 'till the end and finally blamed the German people for letting him down and not fighting hard enough.
Such people -and many of their deluded followers- never get it and as William Shirer put it at the closing of "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" "In the end, Hitler learned nothing".
So Limp-balls and "Fix" will carry on regardless as long as they have sponsors willing and dim-witted or hate-driven enough to pay for commercials on their channels (remember Clear Channel has 1,300 radio stations nationwide, many carrying the fat, drug-bum-motor- mouth) and enough "Foreheads Villainous Low" ignoramuses amongst citizenry to take it all as their own version of truth, lacking the reasoning powers to do otherwise.
I mean, just look at the reactionaries who occasionally infest RSN for whatever reason, just to post bile or perhaps even hoping to edify we ignorant lefties (but you try getting on a right-wing forum or program ---!).
It's always going to be an uphill fight to daylight.
I have to confess I watched Fox too, just in time to see Karl Rove implode, after they announced Ohio LOL!
Do you remember, you can fool some of the people all of the time? Those people (Sheeple) are called republicans (RepubliCONs)
