Kucinich has it right: he’s a man who announced for the office of President and has qualified to be in the race. MSNBC/NBC Universal cut him off after Richardson gave up the ghost for this campaign. He was originally scheduled to be there. NBC is one of the major corporations that leftists point to and say there is a company which wants to rig what we see and hear to the benefit of the elites in the military/industrial/propaganda/government complex. If I were in the campaigns of Edwards, Clinton or Obama, I would recommend sitting out this debate unless the little guy was allowed. –Don Smith

Absolutely. I’m tired of the media deciding who can run. Why should we allow two tiny states with skewed demographics determine who will be our candidates. I’m mad as hell at the candidates who quit after New Hampshire. 1% of the country got to decide who the other 99% will get to vote for in the primaries. I happen to like Dennis. But then I like Ron Paul also. The rest are all old tired faces. The same ones we need to give the boot if we want to see any changes in Washington. Go Dennis, if I don’t see him on the MSN debates tonight I’m not going to bother watching. –lowell1947

Jack, you ask the wrong Q! It’s not whether a judge should be able to order NBC to include Kucinich. It’s whether the corporate media should be allowed to limit what views we the people can be trusted to hear - the Putinization of America. You should ask why NBC’s parent company GE, a major “defense” contractor, would like to silence then only true peace candidate, Dennis Kucinich, who promises to cut the Defense Dept. budget and use tax money for human needs. You need to dig deeper. - Anthony Saidy in L.A.

There are over 200 of these and they are all good. But let’s move on to some other sites or forums.

A few from Daily Kos, which is buying the idea or becoming more and more okay with Obama or Hillary each day:

It's always a more interesting debate when he's on the stage. –ChiGirl88

How can Sen. Clinton say that MLK's "dream" has been realized? Cripes. Another tone deaf comment. –wmtriallawyer

And the comments aren’t that great so let’s move over to Democratic Underground:

Elections are a sham. The person that wins will be the person that is chosen for us by the powers that be.

So, tell me, if this can be done to Dennis, why should I even vote? – Texas Explorer

I will never watch any station that can control who gets to speak . who the hell knows who to vote for . If none of these Dem hopefuls don't say something is wrong not allowing DK then what kind of people are they ? –blues90

People are too suggestible. We could ignore the Corporate controlled media, the ones who lied about the war in Iraq and would help start a war in Iran, and vote for Kucinich anyway... but too many have settled for Edwards who sounds like Kucinich but has no credibility or intelligence based on his past votes(apologies aside). So many on DU LOVE Edwards, and yet he was caught telling Hillary they ought to kick Kucinich out of the debates. It's sad to see so many fooled. –BlueCongress

Keep “grandstanding” as some here call it. I call it speaking out for the majority that have little-to-no voice anymore. –BushDespiser12

Kucinich is Out of NV Debate. This thread handles the legalities of the matter well.
