In response to "Islam class forum for 9/11 truth" by Kevin Barrett:
Most of the conspiracy theories, I agree, are pure fictional garbage. But there are still questions to be fully answered and facts to be uncovered. At least Professor Barrett is seeking those answers, however controversially and misguidedly.
It is humbling knowing that 20 guys with knives can kill three thousand people. It shocked our country. Many conspiracy theories are in response to an extraordinary phenomenon. The response of some, like Mr. Barrett, is that an extraordinary phenomenon must be caused by some extraordinary means. His dislike for the current administration provides the necessary villain that caused the extraordinary attack.
Wow, I didn't know that Osama Bin Laden was just an actor, hired by the US government. I had no idea that the dozens of independent journalists living in Afghanistan and Iraq are actually US CIA agents, producing false reports. It must have been a big job for the US to pay off all the legitimate reporters, hire actors to "fight" in Afghanistan, bribe or blackmail the Pakistani, Afghan, and all the other middle eastern governments to follow the "lie" that Al-Queda doesn't exist. The US government was a lot more competent than I thought.

But it's so fun to post anonymous scathing comments with typos.
In response to "Anti-war campaign yearning for action" by Kyle Szarzynski:
"It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."
In response to "Falk neglecting issues in attack ads" by Joelle Parks:
I wonder if someone who was assistant attorney general for 14 years has what it takes to become attorney general? I mean, does an assistant attorney general even know what an attorney general does? Van Hollen has worked THREE whole years as US Attorney. That's at least 3 more years than the average Wisconsin resident. Joelle, how much does the GOP pay you to run this swill?
In response to "ASM: Another Student Mess" by The Badger Herald Editorial Board:
I'm a Senior this year…by far, this was the worst election. I won't get into how I voted. But why are we, in the year 2006, unable to hold elections in the same manner as 2003 (online, for all ya yung'uns)? If the average student was anything like me, they quickly stopped by the polls between class. We were greeted by long lines…sorry not worth the effort.
I'm sure to all you people out there who have mom and dad pay tuition, $200 is nothing, but to those of us who actually have to work for a living it's a lot of money.
In response to "'08 speculation fueling junkies" by Carolyn Smith:
I'm going to vote for the recovering alcoholic who I would feel most comfortable sharing a drink with… just like last time.
In response to "BH mischaracterizes FACT, climate effects" by Dan Chavas:
Global warming is a liberal myth, along with Africa, racism, and the moon.
