I just finished "100 People Who Are Screwing Up America" by Bernard Goldberg. I really enjoyed it, though I disagreed with about a third of the choices. Who else has read it and what did you think? -------------

I wasnt even aware there were 100 people living in America. I would have thought by now the terroristz would have the number closer to 48. -------------

I saw the daily show where the guy was pitching the book. It was hillarious.

I read it becuase I saw that interview. The guy is a tard who wrote it. To quote John Stuart, "It seems biased. You only included 4 conservitaves, one of which was convicted for shooting an Abortion doctor..." ------------- Hey, nice marmot!  |

Yes it was quite funny I also happened to see his interview on the O'Reily Factor. I think that he was treated more fairly there. I found the book more entertaining than politically or socially moving, though it did raise some good points. -------------

| I saw it in a book store, and that's where I forgot about it, too. It looked like a waste of time. |

I am sure People Weekly's 100 Sexiest People in American is more accurate and entertaining than that book... -------------

No, it isnt. The abortion doctor deserved to die for killing innocent babies. That abortion doctor killer is a hero. Christ said so... -------------

The last thing about 100 people I read was the Maxim Hot 100. I bet mine was more fun to read (well, look at). ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

Most are liberal, because most of the people in his book are celebrities. And if your a celebrity, your are more likely to be a liberal. |

Nice cheapshot. Although if the book had to start naming people who carry their mommy and daddy's opinions around with no intelligence, also too underage to vote, then it couldn't be called 100 people. |

| I don't mind being on the list, maybe if I mess America up enough it'll get back to what it was supposed to be, a free country. |

Really. I may not agree with 100% Moore says but he for sure isnt screwing up anything. The only reason he is "Screwing up America" is becuase you dont agree with what he is saying. ------------- Hey, nice marmot! |

It was a joke, lighten up a tad. The list was full of liberals and you want nuclear weapons disabled so I figured it would be a good reason to add you. Take a joke. I don't carry around Mommy and Daddy's opinions. They influence me, yes, but I make my own choices politically. And what does it matter if i can't vote right now? I'll be able to next election. |

Im game. We will just bend the rules for the age a wee bit. Oh, and we need our own party, seeing as I pretty much hate both of the big ones. Any suggestions? ------------- Hey, nice marmot! |

| Hmm party name....it's gotta be catchy. It must incorporate our beliefs but are willingness to follow through. |

The author must be a republican. I see dubya no where on that list. Not that I think that George Bush is screwing up America, its just that any liberal would have put him on that list. ------------- |
