On what date was comment #1 written, or when did "Comments" begin?

The Augusta Chronicle http://chronicle.augusta.com/ in Augusta, GA (red, red state) - maybe dark red has to far exceed the RT in numbers, for example, 234 comments on one LTE written on Friday, "Put Mrs Obama's comment in context." The RT's are more subjective and less inane, which I get more from.

Thanks.

We knew going in the RT was biased left, but I am pleased there are three, four, five people who call them on every inconsistency. Not much gets by unchecked.

I have the feeling this blog hasn't turned out exactly the way they expected. They undoubtedly were surprised at how few see the world as they do.

Well I've got news for the three, four, five of you. There are more than three, four, five of us who don't accept your characterization of the RT. But you all will probably keep up your rant. That's okay. I hope it makes you feel better. What matters to us liberals is that we turn out and put a good democrat in the White House so that we can began to repair the damage to the nation caused by neocons.
We are not disposed to spend too much time arguing with the three, four, five of you in this blog.
