    A deep breath. No one in NY or FLA is directly responsible for the absence of world piece. Some in DC are, but they have help. African nations seem to have the genocide/cleansing art down pretty well without our intervention, and are outside of what we'd normally think of as in the middle eastern hegemony. Within the latter, it is true that blind zionism- meaning that the state of Israel is incapable of error and must be supported in every instance without question- is a factor in our alienating the entire moslem world. Joementum Lieberman would be an example of such. Hillary is not. Obama is not. It's hard to remember the rest of your screed, but "racism" and "anti-semitism" are not synonymous. A Jew is not a member of a race, but of a religion. Semites are far more than jewish folk. As a religion, Judaism has a long, illustrious, and worthy history. The reinstitution of the state of Israel could not fully provide recompense for the unspeakable atrocities of the Holocaust. Nonetheless, we have not taken the role that falls to us in bringing about a Palestinian state, or to, diplomatically, encourage Israel back to the moral high ground it has gradually relinquished and urinated upon since 1967. Gaza and the Golan Heights and the West Bank are open wounds, and the mayhem brought upon those places by Israelis and Palestinian alike give literal and figurative ammunition to the Bin Ladens of the world. So, if you want to think of Obama as a muslim, and his supporters as Austrians from the early thirties, feel free to lie in the befouled bed you've made for yourself. There's a great deal of difference between "fuck jew" and "fuck you", and life would be easier for you if you'd learn to discern the difference. I believe in the Old Testament, and in the unalterable right of the state of Israel to exist. You, it would appear, do not. You want to be right. Original sin, as any rabbi would tell you, is pride. Yours is swollen like a spring tick on the ass of a large dog.

    Amen. I fear you cast your pearls before swine here (and any of our jewish friends can feel free to replace swine with any best not forbidden in Leviticus).

    Haven't you heard? Obama went to a madrassa. He's a second cousin of Saddamn Insane. He's not really black. No, he's too black. He can't get elected. No, he's bound to get elected and ruin the country for white wimmin. The Klinton Kampaign is sponsoring a reissue of Birth of a Nation with closed captioning. Coming soon to a swing state near you.

    What a way with slurs you have, madam. You must be the belle of the klan ball. Yes, be very afraid that something might actually change for the better, and that you can follow or get the hell out of the way. I can smell a republikan three states away, and you'll vote McLame in November. You might want some Lava soap to wash the blood off your pudgy little hands. love heywood.

    Hair splitting academic minutia. Poor, poor Billary. Obama, former President of the Harvard Law Review, taught constitutional law for several years. His college says he was, de facto, a professor. No one claimed he was a PhD, nor must you be one to teach law. LLD will do nicely. Did at Hastings, where I went, and at Boalt Hall, where some of my friends went. the Klinton Kampaign is dead in the water. This is all they have left. The only senatorial colleague who hasn't endorsed Obama has endorsed LIeberman (this is of those Democrats who have endorsed thus far, nit pickers). How's that Pennsylvania senatorial endorsement comin' along, Hill? Oh. sorry. Bye.

    My thoughts exactly. I must say I'm a little disappointed in John, my original first choice. What the hell is he waiting for?

    The tide has turned, and the water was already high. Only the turds that float the best- our friend Kate, for example- think everything's ducky for billary. Here's a pole: sit on it.

    So, those two untruths- one claiming that teaching law for several years made him a professor, when he was but an adjunct professor- and another claiming that she was in a fire zone of the Bosnian war, under sniper fire, valiantly going where the President would not (except that her teenaged daughter and a bunch of Bosnian school children were there- are equally egregious? Do you really think that's true? Man, I sure as hell wouldn't want you balancing the scales of justice. Just ludicrous.

    In Klintoonville, you need to watch chucking the word "cuckold" around. It's like sniper fire, except it involves a, um, seminal issue of a blue dress. As far as sweet asses, all the ones big bill banged, and all the ones billary kissed, have not yanked them out of the bitch, uh, ditch they've driven themselves into. In a leader, I'd want someone who took little and made it into a lot, not one who took an insurmountable lead, name recognition you cannot buy, the backing of most party insiders, and pissed the whole thing away. Name the last big billary endorsement. Uh,, well, there was, um.... well, shit, I'll get back to ya. Oh, but billary's in for the long haul. Fitting, 'cause it's gonna take one bigassed tow truck to drag her lumpy butt outa second, and an increasingly distant second, place. Have a lovely evening.

    Us'ns who oppose hillary the huckster are better at alliteration. hill the shill, wife of big bill, is a certified liar about sniper fire, tells stretchers unceasing about Irish peace. She's a hack who needs to get back and pay for the mess Big Bill left on the dress. At least you can write a sentence coherently, Bill, and that's head and shoulders above your bunker mates Kate and fellow pawn, shawn. Have a lovely evening.
