    from "Communism is not Biblical," by David Thigpen, in The Daily Mississippian, March 19, 2008
    The problem of meeting with communist leaders for most political candidates is that they themselves are not communist, but if you are a communist, then what is the controversy in meeting with a communist leader?

    The answer is that there isn't any for Obama, because he is a communist.
    yes. this was actually printed in an opinion piece in the actual ole miss newspaper. with writing like this, who needs satire?

    His Biblical interpretation sounds suspicious to me, too. And he misspelled Colombia.

    From the comments: "You, sir, are retarded."

    You should include more from the Obama=communist article. I'm sure most blog readers who have never read the DM would think this article an isolated incident with only one crazy comment.

    My favorite editorials were the very concerned responses about the dangers to campus civility posed by the box cutter incident. I don't remember ever seeing these same concerns when the guy ran over the cop (most of the responses were sympathetic towards him) or when the guy killed his girlfriend. I wonder why? Something must have been different about the girl with the box cutter, but I just can't put my finger on it.
