    OMG Matt! How do you come up with these things?!?!?
    Spot on! It must’ve been that (lengthy) vacation… clean out the old cobwebs.

    Rightwingers who get all cranky about Matt’s dead on cartoon need to hurt their eyesight with Michael Moore’s “SiCKO.” In the last portion of his rightfully angry documentary, he’s shown taking some 9/11 first responders who have been made ill by their rescue/recovery efforts first to Gitmo (because our detainees get excellent healthcare!), only to be denied. So he winds up going to (gasp!) Havana where these heroes get help ASAP, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

    And while we’re at it, all these morons getting their flags in a bunch about the so-called “Ground Zero mosque” forget a few convenient facts: (1) Innocent Muslims, as well as innocent Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists &c &c died on Sept. 11, 2001 at the WORLD TRADE CENTER. (It was called “World Trade Center” for a reason.) The Muslim group who wish to upgrade their own property some two blocks north of Ground Zero HAD NOTHING TO WITH 9/11, and in no possible way ever supported or condoned this act of pointless, hateful terror. (2) The First Amendment applies to EVERY citizen in this country, not just the religion YOU happen to like. If you don’t like these facts, feel free to relocate to a country where the First Amendment has no meaning and bitch all you like there!

    First Welcome Back…Hope you had good time and all is well….

    Now back to business…
    The last time I checked and Your rag reported Barry And Queen Nancy still have control of the House…

    They Could Have Passed the Bill with 0 ZERO NONE of the Republicans voting….
    But Queen Nancy decided to play Games and RAGS and Yellow Journalist ,like you, fail to mention that little point…

    And with the onset of BARRY SCAM UN HEALTHY CARE all will be paid right???

    YES THE BILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN PASSED. JUST LIKE THE MILITARY AID BILL AND BENEFITS SHOULD BE PASSED, AND THE MILITARY VOTES SHOULD BE COUNTED UNLIKE WHAT RACIST HOLDER AND BARRY ARE ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO DO..

    Oh and the land well, Con Edison owns part of it .. Will we see the Emanate Domain come in to play???

    Others Have written that When the issue came up about the Nuns next to a Nazi Death Camp the Pope told them to move….
    Manhattan is a big island surely another place can be found…..
    And why is it that A cross cannot be put up at or near ground zero but…….

    And we will all back it as soon as the Muslims let a Christian church or Jewish temple be built in Mecca….
    Heck If you get caught with a Bible or praying your subject to arrest by these great Peaceful people….
    Every 800 years are so we are called to action…

    It’s so sickening to me how easily the GOP controls the topic of discussion with their inane BS. It only works because of how easily manipulated people are.

    the mission of all muslims is to be the only religion on the earth. why let then burn in hell with the misinformed. save them,them and our heroes from 9/11, they responded when thousand were being burnt alive by radical who use a so called part of their religion as a pardon from punishment to make attacks on a country that fights so that humans are allowed rights to decide what they can put on in the morning or to grow a beard or shave one of the many right deined by al quida to there own people. jihad more like genicide

    You know you’re right, we should all not allow freedom of religion like many middle eastern countries. You know what else we should do? We should have incredibly unstable governments and commit many human rights violations. For god sakes, lets try and aspire to be a little better than that.
