Personally I prefer Disqus. IntenseDebate is very nice looking but the issue is that it's just too buggy.. that's just my opinion though.
Thanks for post. It’s really informative stuff.
I really like to read.Hope to learn a lot and have a nice experience here! my best regards guys!

It is truly a great country that provides capitalistic entrepreneurial opportunities as regards the media. Buy a newspaper, set the rules, OR... set up a website, Stooge Talkback forum and set the rules.

What is ironic, is that the Stooge (Don't) Talkback web site censored and banned content that was critical of, or embarrassing to Stooge Noogent. When anyone complained about not being allowed to speak your own mind in America, in the PUBLIC square of ideas, you got reminded, IN A HURRY, that STooge Dont Talkback forums were PRIVATE businesses and that users of the forum must refrain from "dissing Teddly in his "wvviving rvoom", because after all, its "impolite" to the host, ya know? Imagine that... A free speech, Constitutional advocate like Noogent (as he now proclaims he is, as he now protests he is being denied, as he now advances that HE and Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, John Adams all shared the PATRIOTIC DUTY of defiance) would stoop to censorship, to hiding the facts, to eliminating unfriendly speech at HIS business.... yet will now loudly complain when the tables are turned and he is the recipient of his own past practices. Wahhhhh Wahhhhhh... Too bad some of the people he has trashed over the years are not in the same position as the Tribune to meter out "equal" treatment for other issues such as Family Values and Constitutional Rights.

Hey ted... that solid object smashing you in the nose is a mirror. You never knew it could be so tough, didja?

An important thing to remember about a free and privately-owned press is that the owners have sole discretion over what they want printed in their papers. There is no such thing in this country as an obligation by a publication to print any and all viewpoints, nor is that the case with any other forms of media; otherwise, there would be no FOX News. The new owners didn't like Ted's schtick, so they axed him. There are other conservative redneck papers for Ted to write for. This is not a case of suppression, but one of the freedom of a private business owner to do what he wants with his business. Ted should be happy that he was part of such an excersize in constitutional rights.

The funniest part (if you can overlook the blatant hypocrisy)? The following was cut and pasted from the interactive section of Nugent's own website:

The Golden Rule

The number one rule for using R 'n R TalkBack is to respect your fellow board members. Please be respectful and do not:
• - launch personal attacks
• - fight
• - harass people

Please have an open mind to people who share different opinions and beliefs from you. Members who fail to respect other fans will be warned and face getting banned from the community.

Offensive Language

Avoid using language that is offensive. Automated filters are set up to censor certain curse words and words deemed to be too graphic for a public community. Also, any hateful language (e.g.: racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.) will not be tolerated. Posts containing these kinds of remarks will be edited or deleted by the mods and the poster will receive a warning. If someone ignores the warnings, they also risk being banned.

I admire Nugent's candor, but wish he had been more outspoken during the years when Bush etc. were doing the *very same things*. Like most people, Nugent -- who is clearly a very intelligent man -- has been suckered into believing that there are competing parties in the US. In fact the R's and D's are virtually identical these days. They do have one goal in common: power and money for themselves, oppression for us.

I think that many of you don't understand the concept of freedom of speech. It doesn't mean that newpapers are required to print your column. By the way, as a regular read of the Waco paper in question, I can assure you that the Nuge should have been fired a long time ago just for his terrible writing skills and embarassing grammar. Not to mention that his name-calling and debate skills rival an 8 year old.

Ted is an idiot, free speech was taken out of the equation when Bush took office. Bush forced our papers and press to back a war for profit and he was the reason for our financial troubles now you fool. Boy I love this, GOP Prez runs country into the ground for 8 years stealing us blind and then the Repubs come out and blame the Dem that just took office, typical Republican BS. Always looking to blame someone for the problems they cause, really, you think you people would read and try and educate yourself instead of listening to Fox (Faux) Rush Limp-Dick, O'Liely, Hann-job. Unreal

Sadly,Ted, if you did choose the Free Speech category on Jeopardy -- even at the easy $100 level -- you'd surely forfeit your C note. Free Speech does indeed provide you the right to express your opinion, but it doesn't ensure the "right" to spew it in any publication you choose. As going concerns, newspapers have the right to decide what's fit to print, and if the powers that be don't like what you have to say -- for whatever reason -- they don't have to print it. That doesn't abridge your free speech rights, because the First Amendment guarantees that you can start publishing your own newspaper ... and offer your opinion to your heart's content. It's a great country, isn't it, Ted?

I believe in gun ownership, I believe in Rock and Roll, and I have one thing to say: Screw Ted Nugent. He was a draft dodger in the 60's, a child molester in the 70's, and a fraud from that point on. Ted has nothing to do with God, and God has nothing to do with Ted. Don't be so gullible folks.
