If you want to scrape the site, first consider whether this is legal.

Then, you can do that be getting the innerHTML (or with jQuery - the .html() ) of the appropriate element. In your case this is disqus_post_message

As @bensiu noted it would be easier to use the RSS feed.

Since you tagged Java, here are the libraries that can be useful:

• HtmlParser for parsing the html
• Rome for RSS
