My dear Metasailor,

"Is that clear? Do you understand my argument?"

I copy that, troll.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle should account for everything that is unaccounted for. Since light is both particle and a wave any errors are due Schrodenger's Cat Box being filled with dark matter and since photons from the scanner are at light speed their mass is relativistically increased to infinity causing a singularity which cpatures the photon preventing it from being scanned properly and this is why what appears to be jpeg compression artifacts are actually nano pixel viruses planted by Corsi, Limbaugh and the Old Man of the Mountain to subvert the democratic process through gaussian noise distribution curves drawn on copies of a Lyndon LaRouche newspaper blaming the Queen of England and George Bush for the skyrocketing price for accurate top grade pixels approved for use with Photoshop and HP Scanners because sometimes a pencil and a typewriter are just orphan technologies from a bygone era when the finest fertilzer cam from domesticated farm animals rather than television sets erupting with photonic irreducibility and misaligned image fragments on a ground.

when you get some time, please explain the above to your supervisor and fill out the j-2b forms in triplicate and send them too Rove's office before the monday morning meeting.

My dear Metasailor,

"So: please provide any evidence at all that factcheck.org has been in cahoots with, or in any way influenced by, the Obama campaign or any significant members thereof."

Factcheck.org is billed as Annenberg Political Fact Check - it is an Annenberg organization.

Barack Obama was Annenberg's board chairman before his first run to elected office.

I'd say that qualifies as "cahoots."

"Although the press has been notably lax about pursuing the matter, the full story of the Obama-Ayers relationship calls the truth of Obama’s account seriously into question. When Obama made his first run for political office, articles in both the Chicago Defender and the Hyde Park Herald featured among his qualifications his position as chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a foundation where Ayers was a founder and guiding force. Obama assumed the Annenberg board chairmanship only months before his first run for office, and almost certainly received the job at the behest of Bill Ayers. During Obama’s time as Annenberg board chairman, Ayers’s own education projects received substantial funding. Indeed, during its first year, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge struggled with significant concerns about possible conflicts of interest. With a writ to aid Chicago’s public schools, the Annenberg challenge played a deeply political role in Chicago’s education wars, and as Annenberg board chairman, Obama clearly aligned himself with Ayers’s radical views on education issues. With Obama heading up the board and Ayers heading up the other key operating body of the Annenberg Challenge, the two would necessarily have had a close working relationship for years (therefore “exchanging ideas on a regular basis”). "

So an Anneberg front organization, factcheck.org, does have a conflict of interest when reporting on and defending Obama on the issue of the birth certificate considering that he was chairman of the board for the organization.

NOT THAT IT WOULD MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO A TROLL.

Have A Nice Day!

CHEERS!

WMDs and Obama's Birth Certificate

Anyone seen either one of them?

Anyone believe that they exist?

My dear paulpsd7,

If you want to pretend that the WMD was a right wing Reupbilcan issue, fine, then the Democrats are right wing Republicans.

Hillary can announce to the United Nations that the WMD have been found - IN IRAN!!!

Obama is a right wing Republican with the full support of the Bush Administration, including many endorsements, his former campaign rival and all the war industry owned mainstream media "newstaintment" outlets.

Why couldn't people be as loyal and dedicated to "Shrub"?

My dear R. Thompson,

"Before I go, there is just one more fact I want to throw out there for all the "Obama is not a citizen" whackjobs. One final, inarguable, insurmountable, unchallengeable fact that can not be ignored: On January 20th, 2001, Barack Hussein Obama will become the 43rd president of the United States.

Period."

FTFY.

Get over it.

Four more years of Bush.

My dear Lou,

Annenberg is why I seldom watch PBS anymore. They peddle corporate agendas and try to influence policy and opinion for the benefit of the power structure. Think tanks and public policy interest groups are generally up to no good.

Yeah, these rich people are so civic minded and always looking out for the interests of the common man while thinking nothing of their own largress and how to expand it.

My dear Watcher,

The cribsheet that they trolls are working from is insistant on the "scanner artifacts" because to blame compression artifacts on the jpeg compression puts the onus on the operators and they want to put the onus on the scanner.

The use of the cribsheet and the commonality of these less than plausible or reasonable arguments suggests that indeed there is some sort of conspiracy going on to coordinate and narrow the attack on this issue.

The cribsheet is in play and across the land this assault on the integrity of the great leader must be squelched by loyal party operatives of both the Democratic National Conspiracy and the Republican National Conspiracy.

Did I type "conspiracy"? I meant to type "party". Yeah, that's the ticket, a party. No conspiracy whatsoever, just a "party". Yeah, a "party".

I do hope they took the "Typewriter" argument out of the cribsheet.

You can't win an argument with stupid people or trolls. You can make them call you names though.

My dear Rambling Rose 22,

I am not right wing. Obama is right wing. Your President Elect is right wing and you use the phrase as if it were a pejorative.

Typical Obama supporter.

January 20, 2002 - most of you will be saying you voted for McCain.

As if there is a difference.
