As one of the few conservative-leaning contributors to SFGate.com (the San Francisco Chronicle online), I get my fair share of "fan mail" from my critics. Some of it's nasty, some threatening, some funny, and some very revealing (click here for a "best of" collection, and here for the PDS version). Below are samples, which I will be adding to over time. Names have been removed and profanity concealed. Some messages have been condensed into a single paragraph, but I left the original spelling and grammar intact. Enjoy...

Since you're so keen on the war on terror, Cinnamon, perhaps it's time you shut up and enlisted.  You talk about a "weakened America" when due to the policies you support, we are experiencing the greatest recruiting crisis in history.  Who will join now (let alone for reserve or national guard duty) knowing the extent to which our military has been squandered in the name of stupidity, greed and ideological blindness?  Hopefully those who publicly support the war on terror will step up to the plate.  Never mind that Bush unfortunately stated that "you can't win" a war on terror -- prove him wrong.  Our country needs you.

You and Debra [Saunders] should get one of Bushes medals for being so loyal to a sinking ship.  Check out his ratings, not going anywhere.  Maybe you can do an article on the scandals within your party, nah, then you will lose your very small and shrinking base. Enjoy the majority while you can. Hi Debra!!

                                             ***

If I were still in college, I would find a way to use some class as a justification to take the time to rebutt your really sad article today about the NSA controversy and the so-called “war” in which you believe America is engaged.  As it is, I have to much else to do. So I will just stoop to calling you names.  You are an Un-American nutcase.

                                             ***

You think that the fact that the house and senate is controlled by partisans republicans who are scared of the tarnish of an impeached republican president?  I KNOW you are not that clueless.  SPIN FURIOUSLY SPIN!!!  In the words of Stephen Colbert "Nothing to see here, move along" Keep banging the drum you scared little soccer mom.  You are gold to the scaremongers, I seometimes wonder if you are a true believer,  in on the joke, or clueless booster of war and vigiliance for its own sake.   I am leaning towards  "in on the joke". And nobody  really believes you were a very good "lefty" before your conversion on 911. More like an ethos of convenience, a san francisco liberal, why not?  and when push comes to shove,  you scatter like a gun-shy pack animal.  Have a nice time selling your fear and lies, Cinnamon SHILLwell.

                                              ***

If I wanted Fox news talking points I would turn them on but I hope I can go to The Gate and get something with some substance instead of this regurgitated drool that you try to play off as an opinion.

                                              ***

You give cover to the illegal bush regime and betray your roots.  You are sickening  for not calling the Chimpy McHitlerstein corruptocracy what it is and demanding Bush's impeachment.  Bush stands against world justice and heads the worst Rogue State in the history of the world.  Too bad you are blinded by your love of GW War Criminal. PS-I hope you get fired soon.  You just dont fit in to SF. Move to Utah.

                                              ***

nice to see you writing on local politics since the right wing gangsters that you helped elect have now  proved to be bad for our nation. endless war , attack on civil liberties, deminishing image of brand america etc. well it will not be forgotton and , as far as i'm concerned, if you say amminona's [Tom Ammiano] idea is bad , then it must be good. but maybe you allready know that

You're probably a US Republican, so don't understand a word I'm saying.

Stop watching Fox News.  It's bad for you. 

                                               ***

The real lunacy is that anyone with a brain would even consider going on Fox news. It is, after all, the Bush/Cheney/ Right Wing/ Religious/ Nutcase propaganda channel. Can anyone possibly take O'Reilly seriously at all? Even the slightest? Can anyone think he's a journalist or a newsperson? If you do, you're the nutcase. There is no news on Fox, there's only the right wing talking points, over and over. I guess you are part of all that. Try reading the New York Times for something approaching objective reporting.

I wonder why someone who is so anti San Francisco wishes to stay here and constantly put the city down. Why don't you do us all a favor and move to Texas where you can promote more wars, more loss of rights, more loss of medicare and education so we can throw more of our money into the military so they can continue to occupy foreign countries who posses any resources we desire. People like you amaze me. Wake up already.

                                               ***

Stop with your “9-11 republican” routine.  It’s tiresome.  Enough, please.

                                               ***

Republicans as stupid as they are would not come asclose as Sacramento or San Jose with their convention.Even if they love San Francisco, protestors would spit andthrow dung and general create havoc everyday, similar towhat Bush-s**t does EVERYDAY.

                                               ***

You are a facist C**T. Nothing you have to say has any strength or merit. Go to hell with the rest of the Nazi-Republicans. You aren't even interesting enough to make me sick.        

                                               ***

I read your tirade, which you call an article, in it I found everything inconsistent, bordering on self delusion and you had many contradictions, using borrowed terms that were not relevant to your moralistic and warped standpoint. May I suggest, before writing something this pathetic again, to check your facts?

Also, your claims, one of which, "America as we know it will be a thing of the past," are utterly immature stances based on emotional outcry, nothing more, if we have anyone to blame for "America's demise", its people like you who consume power & your corruption ruins everything. What do we know of America? Nothing has changed, we still have crackpots like you shouting about paranoia and fear, spewing forth lines about how the world is ending. Perhaps you should open your eyes and see that it was men with power that are eradicating America and morons like you who debase everyone else.

Oh, and I suppose your ancestors were born in this country?

Grow up, and please, refrain from writing, I won't read your detritus again, its really not worth it, you sound like an admirer of Hitler, nothing more, deluded and small in your own world, trapped there.

Have an ugly day.

                                                 ***

Dear Strawberry STINKwell - Yet again, you have missed the point completely. You are a facist b**ch with nothing intelligent to say. Go directly to South Dakota, where maybe you might find some support of your kind. Don't count on it though.  As long as you vomit when you speak, no one will find your message appealing. Go work for the worst newspaper in the country, somewhere other than San Francisco. You are trash. You are filth. Your message doesn't matter at all.

                                                  ***

i recently read your inane diatribe in which you -- similar to every other other fascist apologist -- derided those with the courage to speak the truth about 9/11, while utterly and miserably failing to address ANY of the FACTS that the 9/11 truth movement has brought to light.

...you are a disgusting, fascist apologist and i relish the knowledge that, not only will you fall on the emabrrassingly wrong side of history soon enough, but that the karma of your egomaniacal ignorance will come back to you sooner than you probably realize.

...you are a stupid, asinine embarassment who doesn't even have the common sense to check the facts and do your homework before writing such a moronic article. get a f***ing clue.

i wish YOUR best friend died in WTC2 instead of mine.

                                                  ***

wow your debunking 911 conspirators is well thought out and a perfect analysis...unfortunately, most of your descriptions describe people who believe the official story....and the denial of the jewish involvement screams of guilt...lets face it 911 was the best scam yet by the zionists

                                                  ***

You’re a dumb doe-doe. Or you’re lying. (I’ll choose dumb for now.)

The case is proven: 9-11 was an inside job orchestrated by the dark side of military intelligence, which in the USA was (and is now) run by Jews along the lines of Paul Wolfowitz to Dov Zakheim to Richard Perle to Douglas Feith. Wolfowitz was promoted to World Bank President for serving World Jewry in getting USA boys involved in Iraq, and evil George Tenet was given the “Medal of Freedom” for lying the USA into war.

If you are not a Jew with a non-Jewish name, you are just a pathetically dumb dupe.

Your job depends on serving the anti-Christ Jewish Supremist network, one of whose agents ultimately signs your paycheck – so you don’t want the truth.

You pathetic janissaries are on the run, 9-11 is exposed, the Jewish hands behind it are becoming widely known – and even YOU can probably admit to yourself in the dark of the night that American boys have been sent to Iraq to defend Israel and the world Jewish bankster criminal syndicate – and that Iraq is being used as a base to get ready for the attack on Iran and elsewhere.

Better that a faction take over here in the USA to direct the marines into Tel Aviv to arrest the entire Yiddish government there, and bring them to the US Capitol to be kept on display in cages while they are awaiting trial for crimes against humanity.

Be sure to pass this on to the traitors at the ADL, who also need to be arrested and dealt with for treason against the USA.

Every once in a while it’s good for one of you despicable traitors to be told off like you need to be told off.

                                                 ***

Why don't you just start every column by stating you are a neocon shill and don't care about anything but what the great Bushdini pulls out of his rabbits hat.  This has nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with the disgusting greed and warmongering of the Bush Administration and every Republican twit in Congress who has done nothing to prevent the destruction wrought on the world by these money grubbing freaks. Perhaps your Ivory Tower is getting a little too tall.

                                                  ***

I just wanted to send an email to you after I saw the link to your website
on InfoWars.com today. I had already read your silly article about 9/11 [conspiracy theorists] but didnt know you had your own website. That's great, cause I can email you and tell you how sad and pathetic you are. Not to mention, how you are definitely helping to cover up a massive murder, which I think would make you an accomplice after the fact. If it doesn't, by law, it does by definition. You should come clean, read just a little INDEPENDENT research, and then write a wholesale retraction yourself.

There are millions of people all over the world now that KNOW that the
gov't story is a FABLE, akin to the Jessica Lynch/Rambo Fable. You throw
yourself in the lot with the neocons and their minions with your supposed
views on the "truth movement". I say supposed, because I believe you can't be really be that naive or plain stupid, you are churning some Other butter, if ya ask me. I just wonder how much you think you'll  get out of joining the minions on the WRONG side of the TRUTH.

Wake up or go back in your hole and tell people about the newest drapery to buy or fiction peice on the bookshelves they should buy. Like for instance the 9/11 commision Report, fiction personified.

Read, wake up, and retract is the only way to pull your name out of the
hat of troglodites that should be investigated and prosecuted for aiding and abbetting criminals and murderers. Ignorance CAN NOT be a plea after 4-5 years have passed and dozens of films and books have proven the story you are Backing up, is a Huge Freakin LIE.

You need to see a psychiatrist.

                                                    ***

You define the very concept of the journalistic whore.  Whether you believe the drivel you write, or just do it because it is your job, I do not know, nor does it matter.  The astonishing part is how little money it takes, working at a corporate newspaper, to buy you.

                                                     ***

Thanks for making me read your article on immigration, a garbage can
of vapid, racist tripe if I ever saw one. Why don't you go write for
the Weekly standard or Ann coulter? The San Francisco Bay Area doesn't
need more right-wing monkeyf*** insane racists...

                                                      ***

Your article is racist and I bet you are one of the people posting racist remarks on Craigs List.

                                                      ***

You poor, misguided political "Pigeon".......you fly, helter skelter, around the issues, making strange noises, and leave your pathetic crap behind. Why do you "hate" these people? Why do you fall, lockstep, with the opinions of the Radical "Fringe" Right? The Coulters...the Hannitys...even the O'Reillys and the Robertsons!!!! I bet you were raised Roman Catholic....have some compassion and stop spewing party line pablum! Bob Dylan said "I Pity the Poor Immigrant"...well I pity the pathetic pundits, like you, who can't see past their smug noses. I hope you're Still Well....Stillwell !

                                                      *** 

You are so f***ing confused. Stop looking stupid and do what a neocon woman should do. Shut up and make babies or something.

                                                      ***  

I've learned to avoid your byline.  If I want Fox News, I'll go there. Cinnamon Stillwell is a San Francisco writer.  Is that true?  If so,
I'd take another look at your career plans.  Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity
and others will have a problematic pundit future, as the American Empire
goes down to inevitable defeat, which it quickly is, and must, as it is
being led by its most corrupt elements.  Do the math, both on the Empire, and on devoting your career to end up being just one more discredited shill.

                                                       ***

Your commentary is almost as silly as your name.

                                                       ***

You know, "Cinammon," I really don't care if you want to walk down the street completely unaware of the real world around, instead preferring to believe whatever idiocy Debra Saunders or Michael Savage poured into
your brain during your morning brainwashing sessions, but I would hope SF Gate (and I note your ramblings are too much for even the Chronicle to consider publishing) would refrain from printing your wingnut fantasies.

                                                       ***

It must be very difficult for a cultural imperialist like yourself to have to witness the transformation of U.S. society into a multi-cultural pot. It must be even more difficult because most of the melting is being done by Mexicans and other Latinos, whom you obviously feel threatened by.     

The day when white racist commentators like yourself, Rep. Tancredo & Sensenbrenner, Lou Dobbs, Ann Coulter, and the rest of hate-mongering whites of this country can say, or write, derogatory items about Mexicans and other Latinos is drawing to a close. You, of course, have the option to return to Europe where you can be surrounded by mostly white neighbors (though you'll probably bemoan seeing non-whites, recent immigrants-ouch, there's that word again, in those formerly lily-white European countries as well.  What's the world coming to, where white people just can't be by themselves.     

I know.  Why don't you take your ancestor worship of your illegal alien ancestors (I know none of them had a green card or any type of visa issued by my ancestors, the Native Americans) and move to Antartica, or try northern Norway or Iceland.  There your racist mind can be soothed by the whiteness around you.     

At the same time, you can take Alberto Gonzales and the rest of the typical white-loving former Latinos who continue to sell their souls and whatever pride is left in their collective minds under the banner, "you don't speak for us."  I'm sure these tio tacos would love to wipe the racist ooze coming from your saturated pores.

                                                      ***

I'm a white American male 50 years old. I've lived in this country all my
life, and I say this in all sincerity after reading your article about the
immigrant marches on May 1.

Go f*** yourself, you narrow-minded, racist b****. This is a country of
immigrants, whether you like it or not. Read the latest population
surveys. I can tell you're the type who has no problem with immigrants cutting your lawn and cleaning your pool.

                                                      ***

It did suceed [May Day boycott], b**** your are an idiot. In 1994 i saw a Black person on TV complaining about Mexicans moving in next door and that the first thing thery did was grow corn in the back yard. Geez i thought to myself, a Black person complaining about Mexicans? To me Black people are insignificant.

                                                      ***

Your report on the immigrant issue! Does that really represent your reporting skills? I hope not! Why don’t you spend your time reporting the truth in step of lies, hateful patriotism idealism that are inhumane and unethical?  And by the Way why don’t you just stop calling us " Illegal" If you think for a minute that everyone who was marching Does NOT have the voting POWER! Think AGAIN!  You really come across as an extremely ignorant person! How about taking some Cross cultural communication classes? That would really put you in touch with reality and maybe than you can write something that is worth reading!

                                                     ***

Question: Do you ever have an opinion that waivers from your staunch Republican stance or do you prefer not to think for yourself because it’s just easier that way?

As a writer, are you satisfied with just preaching to the choir? It would be so ORIGINAL, unusual and NEW to break from the pack and write with a strong opinion but no political affiliation, wouldn’t it? Try it some time, I guarantee your articles will become more interesting and engaging (which would be great, because they are not that way now). Reading your work is not unlike reading a menu at an Italian restaurant; one knows EXACTLY what to expect EVERY single time, no surprises there. Is that what good journalism is about? Maybe you should just start writing propaganda, or maybe you already are.

Let me put it another way, your attitude and opinions are VERY predictable, tired and repetitive. Perhaps you prefer to write boring and unimaginative work that wastes the reader’s time. If that’s the case, then keep up the good work! Otherwise… if you do have an original thought or opinion, please do us all a favor and write it down some time as we’d like to see it.

And by the way… no I am not a Democrat.

Reverse racism is SO true! It's quite the hit at my Klan meetings.  Spoken (obliviously) just like a privileged daddy's girl.  It's "racist" huh, like that hot new concept of "reverse racism" huh, that thrilled your gaited community, oh, about 30 years ago.

To the American Indian, the white man WAS an illegal alien, and one not
so interested in helping contstruct or clean tee-pees, scrub Indian
clay-pots or bathroom facilities, harvest Indian crops on the cheap, or nurse sick Indian children.

But, that's not what daddy's money paid you to be concerned with, huh?

GOD, you're such a CRETIN.

                                                     ***

I think i might have written to you before on your article of may day. And now you present a story of your mother from australia and of other folks in the bay area who have no clue about what they are arguing about.  First, you and your mother, being white immigrants, are in no moral position to judge or try to persuade the public on your biased non educated (dont care where you studied) opinions.

...Since we do live in a white supremacy system that continues to keep people of color in supressed levels,  and white people like yourselves that have never come to terms with the realization that everything you have is undeserved and incubated in this system.

...Your writings are more of a circus sideshow, where the simple minded come to enjoy the elephant that is tortured to do tricks. You should change your name to Ann Coulter, because all your peices echo her needy voice for attention.

                                                     ***

the racism oozing from your weathered pores doesn't dilute the impact that the immigration rallies had, regardless of the tio tacos (think alberto gonzales), bananas, and other brain-washed wannabees who you wrote about in your latest racist rantings, otherwise called an article.........what you, and your racist minuteman brethren, are really afraid of are your conception of "brown hordes" taking over this country..........and you know what, you are absolutely right.........we will take over this racist country, send the illegal european descendants back to your not-so-lily-white europe, and eat our tacos while we read articles written by Chicano writers 

                                                     ***

So, what about those E-mail which in one way or the other, agreed that there is a need to reform the immigration laws? Why don't you speak about those E-mails, which describe the twisted, biased reporting you and others are carrying out these days? One thing is to "support" the boycott, and another one is to oppose what you and other hard-line, right-wing reporters call "… trying to keep U.S. citizenship and sovereignty intact".

Perhaps what you don't see is the damage that these biased, unsubstantiated, fallacious filth you call reporting does to the most vulnerable, politically miss-represented—somewhat these-days Jews: The Undocumented Immigrants. For journalists like you I feel nothing but contempt.

                                                     ***

"Listening to Legal Immigrants" merely lends bias towards the selfish trait of humans:  If I have to endure pain, suffering and red tape, why shouldn't everyone else?

Furthermore, there is no logical argument to say that this country is a nation of laws (and therefore people should follow them); laws can be changed, and in general most laws are flexible in how they're treated.  That is what the demonstrations are about: changing laws.

                                                     ***

Your article seems fake from the beginning, I will say that a great deal of
US citizens of Mexican origin still have family in Mexico thus most if not all of your (made up) people in the article will be going against their own people.

Just remember you are creating a record, soon we the latino people will be the majority, a least here in California.

                                                     ***

great job printing the e-mails you got from people who disagreed with
your immigration article. oh wait, you didn't do that. i guess you're still an idiot partisan pushing a bankrupt agenda. oh well.

immigrating from australia? come on, lady. that's like immigrating from san francisco to hayward. big deal.

                                                      ***

Dude, or dudette, your name doesn't help, wake up and smell the Colombian coffee, you and the great majority of people don't mind exploiting the undocumented hard workers, but when it comes for a comprehensive plan to get them out of the shadows... that's when they become the reason for our socio-economical demise as we know it. 

By the way, why is it so easy for Canadians and people of European decent to come to the Unites States of America legally? 

Rubbish, total xenophobia...

                                                      ***

The question that Mexicans are trying to ask the government is this; who were the first Americans here on our land? I can assure you that there is no reason a person should say Columbus or any other European, nor any Africans. The real Americans are Mexicans, who happen to be of Indian descent; the true Americans. so next time one says for us to keep our mouths shut because we don't belong in this country, I want them to think about who the real immigrant is.

                                                      ***

We think the best idea you expressed in your entire article [on Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth"] was, “So why not just kill ourselves off now and get it over with?”  And we also think you should lead the way!! 

Since you see no need to take care of planet Earth, you obviously have some other one in mind....Planet Bush, perhaps?  Well then, here’s the best way to get there:

Get a roll of duct tape and attach a hose to the tailpipe of your SUV, or whatever gas guzzling, luxury car it is that you obviously drive.  Make sure there are no leaks-- so that NO FRESH AIR can mix in with that carbon monoxide that you’re so fond of.  Position the other end of the hose so that all that good ole’ carbon monoxide can come into your car.  Get inside
and make sure all the windows are shut tightly.  Start the engine and TAKE OFF!!!  The sooner you get going, the sooner the rest of us can get on with the task of doing something to save the planet before we really have reached the tipping point!!!

Oh, and before you leave, please email these instructions to all of your like-minded friends!!

                                                     ***

Please, Cinnimon Dirty Crotch, Kill your damb self...B**ch!!!!!!!

                                                     ***

I'm sorry you will be killing yourself, but then you might already be brain dead. Like many GOP apologists, you ignore the overwhelming reality to grasp at straws. It's hard to tell whether you an obscurator or really
believe the weak stuff you spout. It's sad either way. Get real.

                                                     ***

The rest of the film critics think this movie is terrific. Something tells me you've got an agenda, albeit, a pretty stupid one.  You are conservative, believe in Bush and Cheney and want nothing to do with scientific knowledge.  Basically, you are stupid.  Why should I take your advice not to see this movie? Try educating yourself by pulling your pin-head out of the sand every now and then, honey.

                                                      ***

Having spent a lot more years on this planet than you, and not having to
kowtow to your lunatic fringe to keep my job, I can say with much confidence that the planet will be overrun by humans, all open spaces will be destroyed in the name of progress, development,  and the "free" market, that strip malls will be ubiquitous (look it up), and that destruction looms just over the horizon.

Can anytrhing be done??  Not in America, as long as our culture of greed
holds power.  The SUV is merely a small example of America's "don't
give a damn" philosophy, the same thinking that allowed our country to be turned into a garbage heap in just 200 years.  Small thinkers like Bush and
his coterie (look it up) are incapable of doing anything but "making a buck" (one of the easiest things in the world to do once you drop "ethical" (look it up) thinking).

But America is tiddlywinks compared to the ravages to be committed in the rest of the world.  It's been a fun ride - now we will have to pay the
piper (or driver, or whomever).

Meanwhile, keep writing your silliness - if it weren't so pathetically stupid, it would be funny.

                                                     ***

You shouldn’t write about things you clearly know nothing about, such as global warming. It makes you look very ignorant and severely compromises your credibility.

What's apocalyptic is your colleagues ignoring this issue as you have your come to Jesus moment...Well not all of us are so stupid lazy ignorant. And I can back it up. We are at 388 and rising fast PPM’s – for stupid lazy media people like you well that’s off the charts...Are you still with me or are you watching American idol? 

You will look so silly in couple few years and it will be you and your colleagues that people will want to lynch when you start to see what happens. 

If you don’t believe me because of your faith based flat earth society non science outlook don’t worry be happy feeble minded laziness (WMD’s etall) I wish you would take a trek on the Larsen B ice shelf (it’s melting and you would soon drown) or better yet trek across the N. pole. There are certain mammal’s cannibalizing each other because of your (not sure it’s happening) stance in educating the extremely stupid and backward American public.

So keep it up. Maybe you and the handful of fossil fuelled so called scientists should report from the N pole. Now that would be entertaining! Get Exxon-Mobile to back you live on CNN.

Your report on Al Gore’s movie was spoken like a good Republican, Bush
would be proud of you.

                                                      ***

Mr. Gore's movie is simplistic because he is trying to reach to a dumbed-down America that has no clue about science.  He intended it to be "Global Warming for Dummies."  Also, he said often that the producer/director wanted to add the personal stuff...to make it more of a movie, to grab emotions.     

Yes, it's simplistic and it drags into emotions.  But he's trying to meet the American public where it is...dumb and emotional.  Our current President has mastered the ability to reach people at the dumb and emotional level (fear of terrorists = ignore our Constitution, the United Nations, international relationships and treaties, the Geneva conference, etc., etc. and trust Bush and his cohort to do as they please with no oversight from courts or Congress; if you disagree you're with the terrorists or you're soft on them).

HE LOST THE ELECTION IN PART BECAUSE HE WAS LESS LIKABLE, LESS OF AN ORDINARY PERSON THAN BUSH. 

He's just trying to reach out to people at their level and get them to watch them and listen. 

                                                    ***

Cinnamon, you silly girl, you ought to be encouraging EVERYONE to go see this film (An Inconvenient Truth). Al Gore is rather gently inviting Americans, in particular, to WAKE UP. Just think: we're the ones who can make or break the deal. He tells us in simple to understand terms just why and how this is so. Did you miss the point? Or are you just eyeball deep in your own comfort being a spoiled American? Geeeeeeez, it would make such a difference if ALL of us in America would do even just a little !!! to change the fact that we hammer disproportionately too many nails in the coffin of Mother Earth.

                                                    ***

What a perfectly worthless piece of crap you wrote on Al Gore’s current direction. I guess it’s easier to critique everything else than to deliver something of substance yourself.

We’re all entitled to opinions, so here’s mine.

One Anne Coulter is enough.

Opinions that are generated to fill space and meet deadlines are not necessarily worthy of the time it takes to write or to read.

Your “style” of “journalism” is neither enlightening nor informative.

Shortsightedness seems to be the virtue you support, but fail to recognize or understand.

I wonder if you ever really think beyond the next deadline.

                                                  ***

Your article is ignorant. Really ignorant. The more intelligent articles I disagree with at least get reasons why. With yours, it's not even worth the effort.

Your review has spurred me to see the film as it comes from such a Bush a** kisser

Guess what cinnamon, You remind me of your p-seudo president. he also does not think globel warming is happening, so why don't you both climb back to your little holes. or where ever the hell you two sleezed from ?????

Perhaps it is Republic apologists like you who need to get real...it is Bush
and the Republicans who have blocked the Kyoto treaty, have stood watch over our decaying environment , accelerating glacier and ice floe melting,
increasing extinction of species....hope you do not live on the coast...else best start wearing your water wings.

                                                  ***

For a "journalist" to try to mislead people about global warming is criminal. You should be ashamed of yourself. It is you who is playing politics not Al Gore. Fortunately with his amazing film the masses are finally listening to the truth. I applaud Gore...I haven't met anyone, liberal, moderate or conservative who hasn't been moved by this film. You need to take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why you're trying to spread slanderous propaganda and hatred. Think about it Cinnamon.

                                                  ***

Unfortunately, you are a "I'll believe it, when I can see it person." If you decide to stop being myopic, I'll pay for the glasses. 

Sometimes the facts hit you in the face like projectile vomit and are something we don't like to think about in the aftermath. Why? Because it's simply easier to forget about. Like being a narrow minded conservative, it's easy because you really don't have to question the norm. Buy your Hummer and say, "I'm buying American made while the petrol is coming from overseas."

You simply can't see the Forrest for the trees. Meanwhile, back at the jungle, both the Forrest and the trees are disappearing.  I have the Visa out and ready to pay for the glasses when you are ready to see the big picture.

You know "Cinnamon" you are pretty young to be so snarley. It is unfortunate that you obviously have neither understanding nor respect for the environment or for educated, skilled, intelligent individuals who may have something to say.  Just because you don't like the way it is said doesn't mean the information has no value. You need to grow up, get some mature and experience, then your opinions and writings will have some value to the readers of the San Francisco Chronicle.                                                                      

                                                   ***

I can appreciate that perhaps you feel you're doing the world a favor by exposing movie hype as being... well, movie hype, but this kind of willful distortion (known in conservative circles as "manufacturing doubt") is a disservice to citizens everywhere. To take it to a comic extreme: So what if that article nets you a paycheck, if it means you end up having to blow that whole check on flood insurance because of what you wrote? If your loyalty is to oil, consider becoming a liberal. At least we wouldn't shut off the taps in Iraq.

                                                   ***

For someone that’s supposed to be objective when writing an article for the masses, you come across as angry and hateful. It’s obvious you have distain for Gore. What did he do to you that caused so much revulsion from you? What’s wrong with having a faith based on earth? At least it real as opposed to the more popular faith folks believe in this country.

                                                   ***

...even if you hate Al Gore, try to have an open mind and avoid basing your opinions on that hatred. A lot of short-sighted people have done that in the past and it only delays progress and the improvement of our society.

                                                   ***

Cinnamon, whether its the official explanation for 9/11, immigration or global warming, at least you are consistant. A consistant idiot, that is.  Your psuedo intellectual clap trap is not only misinformed but its an abdication of what the press should really do: Question authority, question official explanations and give the ruling class something to worry about. Instead, in your op-eds you act as a cheer leader for and explainer-in-chief for the lies of Bush & Co and corporate elites! Shame on you. And answer my e-mails you coward!!!

With the bar you're setting for your sources, I could win an argument

thank you for clarifying al gore's movie. the next time i try using biblical language to describe global events, i will try to remember that only you and yours are allowed to do it. if i fail, i hope you will also point out my shortcomings in between your own gushings over president bush's messianic language.

please note: it is ~because~ we can't control the world that it is 
possible for our exhaust to screw things up. but it's our desire to 
pretend that things only ever happen as we desire that has brought us 
to the quintuple brinks of global warming, oil supply, water supply, 
ongoing nuclear weapons development, and HIV.

                                                   ***

I read your review of "An Inconvenient Truth."  Your chastising of Gore and his film, not to mention the subject, was both funny and persuasive. And for that matter, extraordinarily dangerous. 

The way you just completely disregarded the facts and scientific evidence, you must be Catholic. You actually believe, that before moving on to alternative energy, we should run on oil until the stock is depleted. I agree that it's stupid to plan ahead, as our involvement in Iraq has shown us, but in the interest of fiscal conservatism, let's consider the inevitability of ever soaring gas prices. 

Not that you have to worry, don't insulated bubbles run on the power of Republican kick backs. "Supporting realistic and effective environmental policies would seem to be a good start," you say.  Then let's start drilling for oil in Alaska. F the planet.

say on the subject.

Your column was funny; so is your "concern" about freedom of speech.  It's so . . . odd . . . to see a Christian Conservative (i.e., hypocrite) pretend to be IN FAVOR OF freedom of speech.

Your view of the "rights" of people who hold different religious views (Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, etc.)  or none at all . . . would be completely different, of course . . . unless you want to maintain the facade of
being concerned about the rights of EVERYONE.  A clever facade, but one that fools only the naive.

Don't worry, though; the day is coming soon when those who are not True Godly Believers (YOUR version of same, also the version of such moral cripples as Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Randall Terry, et. al.) will be able to drop the pretense of "fairness" and "concern for individual rights".

In the meantime, you can maintain your hypocrisy, apparently without effort.  Because when you're religious, you can justify ANYTHING . . . oh, wait, you already knew that; sorry.  --RevDrBillyBob

Can't be all bad, all you do is spew hatred in your column and you ain't in jail! (Yet.)

                                                   ***

You cite examples from private individuals and foreign countries while ignoring, of course, the anti-free speech, clericalist, oppressive policies of the administration you love so much -- ban flag burning, force religious dogma on people, arrest and imprison people without trial, exclude and harrass protesters, track people's library usage.

You prove, as always, that you are a snivelling hypocrite with a vicious partisan agenda. You will say anything to serve that agenda.

                                                   ***

I'm not sure why I wasted my time reading your latest article "When Speech Becomes a Crime".  Don't forget the fact that Holocaust 'history' has never been objective.  It's been written and propagated by those opposed to the Hilter regime.  The fact remains that the German perspective on the issue is rarely (if ever) relayed to the American public. 

I'm not a Nazi nor am I a German.  I'm not a Holocaust denier either.  But, let's have an open mind and study the facts objectively FROM ALL PERSPECTIVES.  As an example, it's often quoted that over 7 million Jews died during the Holocaust.  I seriously doubt that 7 million Jews existed in Europe at the time.  Furthermore, the Europeans wanted to export the Jewish 'problem' from their lands to the Middle East and so Israel was invented. 

Know the facts before you write.

                                                  ***

...I must also comment on the revisionists. I support the IHR myself, and believe without a doubt that the "Holocaust" is mostly a sham, with the jewish victims being around a million, most of them dying from disease and starvation brought about at the end of the war, something the Germans could not help.

You seemed to claim David Irving is a "neo-nazi", a term I myself hate, and I strongly disagree. To believe that Jewish supremacists the world over are a threat does not make you a "neo-nazi" any more than promoting gun-rights make you a republican. Besides, jewish behavior, from extorting billions from America and Germany, to imprisoning dissidents who disagree with their policies, to bringing about the war in Iraq and soon possibly Iran, has brought about any hatred against jews, and does not make you a Hitler supporter.

I must also say that the arrests of revisionists is due to the jews acknowledging that their "Holocaust" is a sham. If the "Holocaust" claims were real, a simple debate would be all that is needed, but science itself has shown it to be false.

In closing, I must say I really do hate liberals. I can't say for sure if you are one, but the fact that you are based in San Fransisco, tells me you more than likely are....

                                                 ***

My dearest biggot, I mean, Cinnamon...

The biggest problem I have with people like you, is that you and your kind break generally-fair laws and guidelines, then complain about them, all the while trying to create extremely-limiting laws and guidelines that force humanity into following your narrow-minded ideals about a successful community.

...You see, there are rules and regulations in this world to help keep a general peace amongst the populace. Each and every one of us is subject to these laws, whether right or wrong.  If they are wrong, we need to try to change them.  Looking at your examples...I find no one in trouble "for the crime" of free speech.

...Free speech does not mean you can say whatever you want, whenever you want.  Otherwise, I could scream "fire" in a crowded theater whenever I wished.

What you are really complaining about is that bigots, such as yourself, don't have the right to spew your venomous trash in public, on the airwaves, in print.

...You want to blame liberals for following progressive laws and regulations.  How interesting.  And yet Conservatives and Republicans are breaking laws and creating self-seving regulations left and right.  How Ironic! 

Simmer down, Cinnamon, and get a life!

                                                 ***

Why not ask the President and his cronies why they don't have a press conference that allows for freedom of speech?  Freedom of the press is for those that have a press and since you get paid for writing such drivel it proves that money can buy anything.

                                                 ***

People should be held accountable for the misleading, hurtful and spiteful things that they say. Too many people for too long have been hiding behind free speech. We are all free to think what ever we want to think, but no one should be free to say or do what ever they want.

                                                 ***

So where do you stand on flag burning? I bet you are for the amendment against it aren't you. How about the Colorado professor who compared Bush to Hitler? I'm sure you are for his rights just as Fox News was. Not! What about critics of the Religious Right and their sanctimonious lecturing about those who do not accept Jesus going to Hell.  I have one word for you and the Right Wing and that is you are the biggest HYPOCRITES I have ever had the misfortune to be lectured by.  --Another leftist non-religious spouting Democrat.

                                                 ***

...Of far greater concern is not suppression of speech for the sake of political correctness, but rather suppression of speech out of fear.  Our current government has created a climate in which "if you're not with us you're against us" is the rule.  And "against us" means, in their lingo, anti-american, inspiring the fear of one's neighbor, as mob mentality takes over.  It's McCarthyism all over again, but with a sophisticated 21st century Fox-news propaganda polish. 

...Ultimately, the irony of the situation is that the neocons, having stilled dissent against their power grabs, will go for a new version of political correctness dictated by their Christian fundamentalist masters, that will make what you complained about in your article look like an appetizer.  I can only hope you'll be as vigilant and expressive when you figure this out - and that it won't be too late.

                                                 ***

There are alot of naive idealistic and stupid people that can be coerced by hate speech. Practitioners of hate speech include Bill O'Reilly, Anne Coulter, Noam Chomsky and David Irving. The extreme right and left both have extremists, be they anarchists,  Neo Nazis or terrorists.

Get real, preaching hate is not a right, its a disgusting act people use to sell books and promote hate to sick people looking for a cause. Europe has it right on this one. As a liberal I find you leftist as clueless as the A**holes on Fox News.

                                                 ***

You are certainly the Devils advocate. I don’t envy you’re ability to skate on Occam’s razor while advocating that hate speech is equal to free speech.

Hate speech demeans, denies freedom to, limits dreams, dehumanizes, and puts the hater in the position of judge, jury and executioner. That, in and of itself, is reason enough; to put limits on the use of this hate crime.

As a member of a minority who is a target of hate speech, I find your argument that there is value in hate speech, to be fallacious and unworthy of an individual of your writing talents.  To my mind, people who preach hate are criminals. If this is censorship, then I am all for the extended use of it in this context.

You've got some real serious issues that I'll bring to light. You seem to forget, and just pout info that the, oh let me guess, the Jews force fed you to believe. 

This is America, not Israel. If you love that country so much, go over there and enlist.

...You're supposed to be American. WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT AMERICANS, AND KEEPING OUR COUNTRY SAFE. That is, unless, you are a Jew yourself.

...The problem is people like you. You use the media to spew forth uncorroborated trash, that the majority of the dumb, gullible American public will swallow up and take for fact, and you exploit that. Want another analogy? Phony American senators/congressmen, who act and sound like they should be in Israel's parliament rather than America. They do more for Israel's good then for the good of their own country.

...And then you go on and write something as blasphemous as "Israel's fight is our fight". Well, if you're in the business of killing, maiming, torturing, kidnapping, occupying, and destroying Muslims, go right ahead. Sounds eerily similar to what US soldiers are doing to Afghanis and Iraqis, isn't it?  

And finally, one piece of history that I'm sure you've never heard, since it's obvious by now that you haven't done any research prior to writing. Who was the last president to be assassinated? John F. Kennedy. Israel had him assassinated due to the fact that he stated that he would not allow Israel to gain nuclear weapons. What does the Israeli government then do to the guy? Lock him up, call him a traitor to their country, and a conspiracy theorist at best. All to hide the truth. 

Don't dismiss that as "conspiracy theory". Fact is fact. It's time to wake up, or put up. Go pent yourself up, stop wasting your time, and begin studying the facts, HISTORICAL facts, before you start putting out blind, one sided articles like the one you just wrote.

Yes, and there's a communist under every rock. Why are the conservatives so scared of anything and everything that is the slightest bit different from their narrow, myopic  view of the world. You seem to have a strong need to spread fear endlessly. It's one of the right wing, religious, conservative nut case techniques - droning on endlessly, spreading fear in order to try and maintain your deadly grasp on power. I'm so glad that I don't have to live every day of my life cowering in a corner, scared of my own shadow. The right wing, religious, conservative nut cases even seem to be afraid of their own genitals. Get a life.

I often read your column out of morbid curiosity. Often times I find it offensive, but I am willing to respect the opinions of others and mind my own. But the article I just read came across as utterly unacceptable. You pretty much synonym-ized Islam with Terrorist. There are plenty of other organizations out there that are terrorist organizations that have no ties to Islam.

Believe me, I have no love for many aspects of Islam, such as the treatment of women and homosexuals by the religion. But Islam is a respectable religion and in many ways no worse than Christianity when it comes down to “morality.” Terrorism is certainly not a main-stream Islamic value. Now I can hear you saying “well I’m don’t discriminate against Islam,” and I would respect that if you occasionally provided a balanced view.

It’s funny that you use what seems to a pen-name and that your picture does not appear at the end of your articles.

                                              ***

I read with interest you article on acts of terrorism in the US.  The officials you refer to that make claims of "no further acts of terrorism on US soil since 9/11" understand that terrorism is an act to inspire mass fear and paranoia, such as the random mass killings and car bombs in the name of religion or jihad.  None of the acts to which you refer fits that bill. 

...Fear, and the fear-mongering that I hear from columns such as yours, threatens our liberties and freedom much more than any terrorism that might be found on our soil.  Most of the perpetrators of these acts you have brought to light are just mentally ill people, and not associated with the true terrorist organizations we have fostered in the Middle East.  Let the local officials do their jobs without adding to the people's fear and hysteria.

                                              ***

I have read alot of your articles and I think you are advocating terrorism in them. You downplay anything that Israel, Britain and, the U.S. do against the civilian populations there.

I have attached the pictures of what I call state sponsored terrorism by Israel in Lebanon. I know your racist support of Israel won't let you be upset at seeing these pictures but a real human being (WHO DOESN'T THINK THAT LEBANESE PEOPLE OR ARAB'S ARE SUB-HUMAN ) would be very upset at the slaughter of women and children who have no more to do with terrorism than people who were shot at the Jewish center in Seattle that you talked about.

I just think you are manipulating the facts to help the government de populate the middle east and take it's resources. You are suppose to be helping the greater good but you keep the public ignorant by ignoring the real questions that you should be asking. It's like if you were the one who is killing the children yourself! You could do something about it but, you choose to capitalize on this. I wonder how you sleep at night. 

                                              ***

By labeling these acts "terrorism" you are attempting to find and
explain a pattern of behavior, but that narrow definition excludes assessment of the bigger picture. History did not start with 9/11. Did it occur to you that perhaps a lot of Muslims are just ANGRY at the US for 60 years of failed interventionist policies in the Middle East? That have resulted in untold suffering, misery, and loss of life?

...If you read history, you will see how there could be a lot of anger at the US...This story goes back a lot further than 9/11 and I hope you take the time to look into it a little bit further and see the bigger picture and
where seeds of hatred start. I think that what you label as "terrorism" may actually be individuals acting out of their own misplaced anger and rage. Certainly not justified, but also not part of a larger "terrorist" plot.

                                              ***

In your biased hate-filled article entitled "The Myth of the Lone Gunman" you discuss the murders of the Egyptian Coptic Family.  What you fail to notice is that the murderers were common criminals who were not even Muslim.  Yet, you and [Daniel] Pipes still maintain this conspiracy they were murdered because this man got into online debates with Muslims.

...Thank you and may you be less blinded and hate driven.

                                               ***

Sounds to me like you are a convert to the same old racist mantra that supposedly became common in the Old West of 125 years ago or so:  "The only good Indian (Muslim) is a dead Indian!"  

                                               ***

I enjoyed your commentary about the making of yourself as a 9/11 Republican. I thought I would bring up just a couple of tiny little facts that either you did not realize or neglected to mention.   

Fact #1 The United States Government has been hijacted by the Zionists!!! If you dont believe me check out Carol A. Valentine or serendipity.com on the net.  

Fact #2 These Zionist then destroyed the WTC( Mossad and the CIA) and used that as an excuse to invade Irag.( Again, CHECK THE NET!!!)    

Now even if you admit that is true (pretty unlikely), you might say, "thats justified  because of the Muslim threat".The problem with that is the Zionist threat is INFINITELY WORSE because as I say they have already taken over the US government.

The problem with that is if they can they will turn The USA and the rest of the world into a jewish state. No more bill of rights, no freedom of religion, outlaw all other religous  holidays. Under jewish law non jews can be put to death if they don't get with the program.     

If you agree with THAT, those people are right,you are Zionists scum!!! 

                                               ***

Your column about supposedly repressed free speech on college campuses is stupid.

What you call repression is itself speech, and it occurs on both 'liberal' and 'conservative' campuses.

Do you think a 'liberal' would get more than a few words out before being booted off the campus at Pepperdine or Bob Jones?

Congratulations on your article about liberal (leftist) intolerance, but you talk exclusively of Muslim intolerance, which is minor compared to the tsunami of "liberal intolerance issues, such as....

Why do you ignore these ocean-sized intolerances, and only mention the minor intolerances by liberals?  I'll tell you why you don't:  you work for a liberal propagandizing newspaper, who would fire you for telling the truth, or for being objective.    Does this not make you a rank hypocrite as well?

So it's only the left leaning radicals that are the bullies? What about Obama being attacked by Right Wing crazies like Schenck who are outraged that Obama was invited to speak at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church. Not only was he denounced by Rob Schenck, who also asked his 'followers' to protest his appearance, but he was also branded as without ethics or morality. He spoke of 'supreme American values' which I guess include racism, corporate greed, militarism, and hypocrisy.  

You people are the biggest hypocrites it has been my misfortune to witness in my 54 years of existence. I don't know what's worse, 'Islamic fascism' or 'Right wing religious hypocrisy'. It would be nice if all those involved in this religious fight for 'America's values' would fight it out among themselves .You both deserve each other and while you are at it take those brilliant neo-cons with you.

Madame (I assume);

When the leader of a racist cult like the Minutemen appears on campus to spread bigotry and terrorism, for surely vigilantes like him are terrorists, it is altogether right and appropriate to put an end to the terroristic speech by any peaceful means available.

Conservatives like you have no one to blame for college bully tactics re free speech when publicly discussing your agenda because your policies of late have caused great harm to this country and the world.  Therefore, people are angry.  Therefore, they throw pies when you openly debate.  That pie throwing is free speech in itself, saying your policies are bullsh**.

                                              ***

Hmmmm.  Your nonsensical rant is quite comical.  I laughed heartily through most of it, like the first time I saw the Rush Limbaugh show and kept waiting for the punch lines and laugh tracks.

...You, like many of us, are distracted by the shiney bauble.  We are enraged and terrified by one event every 60 years on American soil that takes 3000 lives, so much so that we will spend our children's and grandchildren's retirements, healthcare and education funds (besides hundreds of thousands of lives) to retaliate while losing more than that many lives from our own troops.  Yet this event is statistically insignificant.

...You are quite insane, thus destroying any credibility you may have had for even a small snippet of your fictional tale.

Tripe like your article is a good example of why the MSM is dying. I'd

The San Francisco Chronicle?  I truly could not believe they published the garbage piece they attribute to you entitled "Jimmy Carter's Legacy of Failure."  This is the kind of crap one usually finds in the LA Times or the Chicago Tribune.

...I am increasingly sickened when I read articles like yours, which on the surface are blatantly pro-Isreal-at-any-cost, particularly when, like yours, they are also blatantly right-wing.  You folks have enabled the slow-witted spoiled brat son of GHW Bush in his quest to ruin this country, and you seem intent on enabling the right-wing nutjobs currently in control in Israel in their attempt to ruin that country's future as well.  That, it seems to me, is TRULY anti-Semitic.  Needless to say, I also consider you un-American.

And what the hell kind of name is "Cinnamon?"    I'd be picking a nom de plume if I was you, or sticking with the Life Styles section, where your name and your intellect would be perfectly suited to your work.

Seriously, how much did the Jews pay you to write this slanderous filth? The add next to your article is actually more informative, but I think it looks great sitting beside it. "Legally Blonde, The Musical", a perfect fit :)

Oh, it's an America-hating pro-Zionist buttwipe.  So, now Mr. Carter is the most wicked creature since Satan himself.  Why not just blame him for WWII and the attack on Masada itself.  Do you realize how silly you and your column are cinnamon stillwell?

You should be ashamed to write such a Swift boating of Jimmy Carter who had the courage to bring to light the atrocities the Israel govt on the Palestininas most of which is kept out of the US  news. Go anywhere out side the USA and you will hear what Carters books describes.

The more I read, the more I wondered. Quick perusal of the blog confirms another semitic spaz. FrontPage? Talk about clown shoes. I subscribe
to it when the Funnies just aren’t funny enough...

...Point is, I don’t know why Jews have this constant problem in the
world (compared, say, to Norweigians), this sense of incessantly being
wronged and seeking reparation (maybe I should carve out a city block in
downtown Detroit because I lived there 10 years ago). I mean, the
American Indians got a raw deal. Lots of races did. Read the Old Testament, if you must. It’s not like Jews don’t already have New York.

....The whole Israel thing is actually a real bore, but in this comedy I
still like to root for the underdog. Not much you can rationalize there.
Although the best outcome would be for all Jews, Muslims and Christians
to annihilate each other (looks like we're headed that way, yippee!).
Things which are alike in Nature grow to look alike, and Nature has a
way of taking care of these kinds of cosmic irritations.

American policy is so tilted towards the Zionists'  that it is no wonder peace has been such an elusive goal.  And please, get off of the "anti-semitism" bandwagon--it's really tiresome.

                                              ***

Very entertaining, indeed. Hardly journalism, however. I think the most
"woeful" predicament for Americans, the world, and and indeed any
justice-loving peoples is the very notion that you and people like you
are so prevalent in US media. And, thank you, oh-so-much for quoting Jews and politicians, whose campaigns have likely been so graciously
supplemented by the Jewish lobby, to lend credence to your ridiculous review. Absolutely laughable. Perhaps you should look into another job - oh, I don't know - perhaps writing fairytales for pre-school children who have not yet developed the capacity for critical thought and conscientious analysis.

...And, yes, Carter does happen to be a respected historical figure, most
noted for his commitment to peace in the region. But you, most likely being a pro-Zionist, wouldn't know much about that concept.

                                              ***

I can only suggest that you take your Zionist and NeoCon viewpoints and stick them back in the sewer where they belong. You should pay more attention to Norman Finkelstein that to idiots like Kenneth W. Stein.

I see the SFGATE has given the official AIPAC  position through you. Jimmy Carter was one of the finest presidents the US has ever had and when he finally tells the hard TRUTH about the Zionists naturally the Zionist flacks strike back.

It would be nice to know how much money you are getting from AIPAC and whether or not you bought a new 5 series beemer with it?

Well, Ms. Stillwell (if that's your given, or Anglicized name), I see that from your venom-spewed article expressing your hatred for Jimmy Carter, and
from viewing the stuff on your blog, I've come to the conclusion you are simply a neurotic and prejudiced ethnic activist, and an anti-Christian bigoted hypocrite.  ...I suppose you are against someone like Carter...and favor instead the views on the Middle East of the Neo-Cons, who got us into Iraq? ...Why don't you write about all of prejudice your Jewish relatives/friends heap on non-Jews? No, you wouldn't do that; that would distract you from the racist rant that is your life, and your blog.

Dear Sister Cinnamon,

First of all--the Catholic Church has/is doing absolutely nothing to
advance the progress of Social and Economic Justice for Queer People,
Places and Things.  In fact, it is one of the largest political
parties/corporations--found anywhere in our world community--which
hatefully lobbies against, while scapegoating its own exponential sins,
against the World Queer Community.  Thusly, when the Catholic Church
represents itself as one of our nation's largest bullies--it certainly
deserves absolutely no respect from the courageously authentic and
genuine Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered/Expressing, Queer, Intersexed, and those yet to be defined People--who/which the Catholic Church is actively annihilating.

Cinnamon--get over your bigoted and hypocritical, pitifully pious,
wadded panties.  When you can start addressing all of the harm that the
Catholic Church has contributed to our World--starting with the Spanish
Inquisition--then your lame argument might be worthy of your own
"personal" atonement.

Remember--there is a statistically significant correlation of
homophobia/homo-hatred, to the denied reality of denied homosexuality.
In other words, you are what you hate.  Thank goodness for you, that you
can still "eat" a "fish" on Friday!  For most of the world, including
Catholics, the closet always feels safer to the reality of courageously
living a life of the obvious unknown--outside of the status quo of
religious based ignorance and fear.

If you, Sister Cinnamon, were truly a "good" Christian--you, along with
every other "good" Christian, would have created a Socially and
Economically JUST World-Environment--which would preclude any human
being from ever having to boldly dissent from any form of hate-filled
oppression.

As far as I know "waging jihad against America by non-violent means" and supporting a Islamic religous state in the US are both legal and ethical positions that should be tolerated in the US. It's counterpart is the religous right "winning America for Christ". They both seem somewhat disturbed to me, but so long as I can take my dog and whiskey in an airport cab to Alabama on a Sunday, let them advocate for their positions.

...Sarah Palin is a hypocrite and a liar. Like McCain and his swift-boat campaign crew, you will tell any tale to keep the elitist Republican “greedies” in office. Just because she is a woman, you support her. It can’t be her resume…it’s too doggone thin. Republicans’ hail-Mary answer to a John McCain candidacy (old – last century politics) is to find a right-wing skirt to solidify a base that was thinking he isn’t the one. Go away.

                                                  ***

Do not try to suggest that Obama is suffering from some syndrome. He realize that he has to treat her with kid gloves or white America will say that an angry black man attacking a white woman. D’ont B.S. tell it like it is if you have the guts. Plain is getting a free pass you know it and I know it.

Please look in a mirror, my dear. Do you have ONE person of color as a friend? (Ask the person you're thinking of, if there is one, not yourself -- you may delude yourself into thinking s/he's a friend, but it's not likely.) Your crap about who the "real America" is, well, that's basically KKK codespeak for "people of color don't count, they're not real Americans." Most people in this country live in cities, not in the Appalachian woods you and your ilk hold dear. Face it, baby, it won't be long before the country is less than half-white and you're a forgotten memory. THAT future looks bright.

                                                  ***

...people do not hate Palin because she is a bad mother or trailer trash...the woman is odetested not for her personal shortcomings but for the fact that she offers nothing to free-thinking, 21st century Americans. 

                                                  ***

Sarah Palin can have all the babies she wants, but she cannot force anybody to have theirs, specially if it's a rape or incest victim.

                                                  ***

...I would bet you that whether or not McCain/Palin wins, Palin's daughter Bristol will not be married to her boyfriend in a couple years---if they even get married at all. I am also 99% sure that Bristol would never marry her boyfriend, and would probably have an abortion, if her mom weren't running for V.P. Before Palin was  nominated, her boyfriend stated publicly on his webpage that he did not want to get married anytime soon.

That whole "good kids made a mistake, but they're getting married" 
thing is a big PR stunt. They should have used a condom.

I feel sorry for the boy, being summoned to the Republican convention 
so he could be trotted out as part of the "family"; and for Palin's 
daughter, a young woman who is being manipulated in view of the whole 
nation for the sake of her mom's political campaign.

                                                   ***

...Palin is a bad mother, an unwed pregnant teenage daughter (a clear sign of bad parenting) who may have given birth to the Down Syndrome baby as well...and who has been an underage drinker too. Her eldest son was called the "Bad Boy of Wasilla" and was known to be addicted to Oxycontin for 2 years and was only shipped off to the military as a way to make him a man. Sounds like a wonderful mother. 

Her academic credentials are pathetic.  She had to go to 4 terrible schools before getting her Communications degree, then she spent 15 years as a housewife (her 2004 political contributions list occupation as "housewife") and part-owner of a laundromat. 

...Palin is even less qualified than Bush...and that should be a justification for our hatred of her being picked.   

I didn't think someone like you could work for a paper in San Francisco...how is it possible that someone so out of touch with reality could be a writer for the most important paper in an intellectual haven like SF?

In your article, you overlook a major historical fact: That extremists (religious or secular) can lead people towards fascism. The conditions in America as ripe for this movement that was promoted by Pat Robertson 25 years ago and advanced by George Bush and the neo-cons. Sarah Palin is the perfect leader to advance this movement further. Please read up on the history and characteristics of fascism.

...I did have an opportunity to watch a video of the speech she made at her church. Charlie [Gibson] took her statements out of context. However even within context, I could hear the faint echoes of the battle hymn of the republic. History has demonstrated over and over again that God and WAR are a toxic mixture.

I'd vote for you over her because I bet you have had a passport for a number of years and have greater Foreign Policy insight than the beauty queen who's not even sure she wants Alaska to be part of this country.

...I noticed that you are a self-described "9-11" Republican whose core values suddenly shifted conveniently from left to right and you got a job spousing your new point of view in a liberal town. So a little unsolicited advice. I realize that attractive conservative women willing to say outlandish right wing claims ( e.g. Ann Coulter) are a growth industry and I don't fault your career choice in order to pay the bills. But as you become a shill for the Republican party, I hope you maintain a bit of integrity and self pride. Saying things like "Despite her impressive resume..." is not a way to avoid the bimbo writer label.

...Face it, Sarah Palin is window dressing on a Republican Platform that is across the board anti-woman. If women are to be taken seriously in their accomplishments and abilities, including you as a writer, you can't support this transparent tokenism.

                                                  ***

...you need to separate your sense that criticisms of Palin amount to an attack on women, from the fact that Palin's lack of experience in most  of the areas required of a vice president, and her close-mindedness in 
many important areas ---- her "qualifications" are not suited to a job 
where she would help lead a nation of more than 300 million people of 
all races and religious beliefs and income levels.

Feminism--if you think anything about Palin relates to basic feminist 
ideas, you need to do some homework. Sexism---no man with her (lack 
of) qualifications would ever be nominated for V.P. He would be 
laughed out of the country.

                                                  ***

Silliness: As you claim bias, I must admit that article is one of the most biased and blind to the facts article I have ever read. Since she’s a woman, and on that basis alone, she gets your nod. Although it probably has more to do your own personal projection if sexism aimed at you in your life. You pay no attention to the views and the details. Another media attack. Like George bush and sarah palin is what this coutry needs. Have you had blinders on for years now?  It’s amazing how when sexism become the issue, all others go away.

I almost named a pet rabbit cinnamon but thought it too cutesy. Seriously, your column is so beneath regular political discourse, I don't know where to begin. I have every right to oppose a woman like her and her policies and so does anyone else and not have it labeled a syndrome. It appears that any statesman or woman who cannot stand up to scrutiny need to be protected by made-up diagnosis from "jounalists" like you. Good Luck Cinnamon!

Wow Lady, Not only are you so far off the mark regarding Obama, you're pretty f***in' ugly too. You and Charles Krauthammer should go screw yourselves!!!!

Ever heard of the Cinnamon Derangement Syndrome? Me either, until I read your IRRATIONAL article. What planet do you live on? But then you do look a bit like her... kinda pitbullish, with lipstick. MOVE TO ALASKA you pathetic, ugly excuse for a women.

My GOD you are an idiot.

The Republican Party has virtually destroyed the USA economy, here and 
internationally, and has done jack-sh*t for Americans, and you still support it? You are about as stupid as they come.

Yes, Cinnie, we've dropped a looong way. America has finally become the trailer trash that republicans used to arrogantly tilt their noses up at.  If republicans endorse lack of  integrity and character value, why not decree this the "american way". What a horrible excuse for being failures.

Comment on Sarah Palin from a citizen of the world:

Hundreds of millions of people around the world are watching the U.S. Election. Anyone who doesn't like a (1) candidate who enjoys shooting animals, (2) candidate  who will make foreign policy decisions from a stand point of supposed God given wrath, (3) who has done almost no travel internationally and is exceedingly parochial, is very worried that such a narrow minded idiot may be in a position to control the strongest nation militarily and the largest economy in the world. 

I have been viewing International politics for 30+ years and I have never seen a more dangerous candidatefor the U.S. Vice Presidency ( and therefore a potential President). It is literally horrifying.

...I don’t know anyone like Palin, thank goodness. Believes in creationism? Against a woman’s right to chose? Misrepresents, exaggerates, uses cronyism in leadership. You have to be kidding.

There are people like her, but certainly not a majority.  More power to them.  

But please don’t make me suffer through another administration with one. 
Thank goodness that’s not going to happen. Someone intelligent, thoughtful will be leading us again.

You can suffer through the kind of person I want for a change.

Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly. HATE REPUKES 

Sin (the very existence of a neo-con is indeed that):

As a Vietnam vet, retired member of the US Army and proud father and father-in-law of members of the USAF, I just want to say that your fascist rant has just prompted me to send even more $ to Obama's well-filled coffers. Your Nazi slut's approval ratings are dropping daily, baby. I am pumped up with energy and, yes, hate, for Repukes, and there are millions more like me that are going to send you back to your Munich beer hall. 

I sh*t on your stinking soul

...Frustrated intense reaction is not negative if it is the only way to be heard over the deafening silence.
