3. i refuse to give

savage Weiner's web site an additional hit even if it's for a good cause. I will not enable his numbers to go higher.

[RobertSeattle]

4. Somethings fishy

Those vote numbers are WAY to high. Even a day long CNN or MSNBC poll doesn't get more than 100K votes.

6. I thought the same thing personally...(n/t)

[RobertSeattle]

9. Minor correction - some do get to 200K

Just check this "hot" one from today:

But I still can't believe Savage's site get so many hits.

7. I just got out of the shower..had to wash my brain

I turned on my radio to an AM talk station on the way home just to see how fucked up they are and listened to a portion of a show that almost had me RAM the car in front of me. At the commercial break, I found out it was him...had never heard this pig before...may he get 4 flat tires and diarrhea.

8. If you really want to get pissed, turn this guy on AM radio...

I can usually go for about 6 minutes before I've had it. I've picked up the phone several times only to realize that it isn't worth it...

11. I avoid Savage at all costs...

... so I won't be going to this site.

The issue of whether or not the images are published I think is one that everyone should think hard about. I mean, sure, the more pictures that come out, the more damage to the Bush regime is done. But what about the Iraqi people? I'm very curious as to what kind of response you'd get with a poll like this from Iraqi citizens.

To help understand better what goes on in the minds of the people suffering under the occupation, I often turn to Riverbend, one of the Baghdad bloggers.

This is from her most recent post there:

I'm avoiding the internet because it feels like the pictures are somehow available on every site I visit. I'm torn between wishing they weren't there and feeling, somehow, that it's important that the whole world sees them. The thing, I guess, that bothers me most is that the children can see it all. How do you explain the face of the American soldier, leering over the faceless, naked bodies to a child? How do you explain the sick, twisted minds? How do you explain what is happening to a seven-year-old?

I certainly am in no way a Savage supporter, but I'm having a hard time deciding whether I would vote yes or no in a poll like this.
