I find the racist comments by a certain individual (don't you like to GLOVE him?) here offensive but most of the other comments not so bad. People have a right to like or dislike a candidate. Some do act silly but others may enjoy it. -- Duke Doggie's "DEEP DOO-DOO"

Different strokes for different post.

Would it be better, Peggy, if you ran this board and NOBODY was interested enough to post anything?

I think that you should be glad that people are posting (except for Tommy who I think really needs to get his head straight and tell us that he is NOT a bigot) and let it go at that.

People act just as silly on the Celebrity Obits board but that's okay (for whatever reason). Bad jokes and puns and utter nonsense is considered okay and in fact welcomed.

Over here, when it occurs, people yes "troll" or worse, but come on, is it really all BAD?

I don't think anybody is attacking you or Barbara. People call others "Moron" and the like but you know what, it's not a big deal if the person being called that is anonymouse.

I am anonymous, in fact, though I am not ANONYMOUSE.

I think we should lighten up and try to respect each other a bit more, for sure, and if you don't like the silly stuff, then ignore it.

Bigotry, however, whether directed against blacks or Jews or even women is something that I can never tolerate.

Okay, I will use the name Tommymittenz (not that it was a secret) and hope that he will apologize for his statement about Obama. I hope he did that just as a joke and that it does not reflect how he feels about people who are African-American.

I wonder if Tommy would have the guts to state what he did to an audience of African-Americans. I think not.

Tommy is wrong and I don't think this is helped by the posts by Tommy's mommy and the like.

I think Tommy owes us all one big apology, unless that is how he really believes about African-Americans. If that is the case, they we will at least know.
