Mr Peretz, have you seen this book on Obama?
It's reviewed here by McWhorter a contributor to TNR.
"The Great Hope"

I wish Peretz would post about the book.
Here is a link to it on Amazon:

I don't know, Marty. I doubt that PDA gets much attention. It is only nerds and obsessive wonks like us that would latch on to something like this. I can't imagine it redounding poorly upon Edwards.

jackson and blackton have got it. PDA is obviously marginal, to say nothing of taboo. Oh, wait -- wrong kind of PDA.
If that many people in their organization support Kucinich and yet he's still polling at basically nothing nationally, they clearly have next to zero influence on the political process. Don't lose sleep over them, Marty.

Only obsessive Arab-haters allowed in Marty's America. If got something nice to say about Casey Kasem go move to Syria.

alexnh, your comment is bullshit. A lie too. Tell us some about Islam, the religion of peace. I wouldn't call any Muslim violent - he might kill me.
As for what Marty said, PDA matters about as much as some Far Right sex-obsessed group. In other words, it matters it matters for the extremes. Not a lot, not zero.

What's bs? That Marty hates Arabs? You certainly seem to be a bigot so whats your prob with being honest about it? I hope Americans in near future will look at what people like you write the same way we would view what Jack London or Samuel Gompers wrote about Chinese in their day. A big ugly embarssment.

I seem to a bigot - because I don't agree to an imbecile like you, eh? You shmuck, go burn some American flag while you wear your t-shirt with Shit Guevara or Arafat or Hitler, or whatever is the dictator du jour. Your idiotic propaganda reminds me of communist newspapers circa 1982.
