Jill Stein and Roseanne Barr in saying he would pardon Bradley Manning while President Obama talks about protecting whistleblowers but has been strangely silent on the subject of Manning. I don't mind saying that I voted for Barack Obama in the last election, but at this point I am seriously disappointed with his record on human and civil rights. Your comments are, as always, welcome.

Bradley Manning is accused of communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source, and aiding the enemy, among other things. Those are serious charges. Why exactly should he be pardoned? He hasn't even been tried yet, much less convicted so I see absolutely ZERO grounds for a pardon at this point. Do you really think it's a good idea to pardon someone before we've even had a trial to determine the facts of the case? The day we start letting Rosanne Barr dictate who should be pardoned is the day I start making plans to leave the country.

Roseann Barr is very active politically on twitter. I had a run in with her last week. The twitter account named HilaryClinton2012 tweets to Roseann numerous times a day. The account is promoting Hilary as a candidate for president. They've been tweeting many things that make Obama look real bad. I've been trying to figure out just what their goals are from their tweets. The only thing I can see is that they are trying to make Hilary look good for a run for pres in the future. I'm with you, Roseann is a smart woman despite her dumb persona. She's dangerous in my estimation. She has a strong voice for the left.

It's interesting that you describe Rosanne Barr as dangerous. Would you describe your run-in with her?
