Babbling about (and cleaning and sleeping in her barn) is the sole responsibility of elephantboy.
You don't want to piss off elephantboy... you wouldn’t like elephantboy when he's pissed.
Stinkyboy.
Another Paglia hot steam'n pile instead of quality content.
and their never ending load of self-delusional bull. And it is self-delusion, no one else believes you creeps. I'll encapsulate the troll's BS just to save everyone the time:
Troll Comments Variety #1.)
"It's fake, it can't be that the average GI's love Obama. Its the devil making them errr.. confused and stuff."

"I was in the army once a long time ago and I didn't like Carter. I had to peel a potato once and Carter didn't jump in and do it for me. Now I molest toddlers at the local grocery store, listen to Rush and vote republican… so I’m a real American."
Hope he stays away from my hometown.
but now it's getting a little twisted, weird and potentially violent.
Its time for the secret service to pay a visit to these creeps and read them the riot act. The are trying to create an atmosphere where some idiot will try to kill the president.
She said "Jesus can suck it" as part of joke at an awards ceremony and what do ya know, the “Catholic League” was going after her and the network and wanted her off the air.
Turns out the "Catholic League" is some loser with a computer and an email list in his mother's basement somewhere in Iowa.
These freaks trying to say they speak for everyone else can just suck it.
These are right wing cranks trying to say they speak for Catholics. They sure as hell don't speak for me or anyone, I mean ANYONE, of the dozens of fellow Catholics I know.
I attended catholic schools all my life and can assure you that the average catholic in the US couldn’t care less what the Pope did or thought. The pope is a weird medieval carryover from an ugly and tragic period of the Catholic church’s history that stays around because people feel good if there are some ancient traditions still going on.
…kinda like when people kept on watching Johnny Carson even though they knew the tonight show had become completely lame for his last 20 years on the air.
The repugs want to send us into a depression just so they can say Obama was unable to fix the mess they made.
Negotiating with them is not a move to the center, it is a move to the loony bin.
Here part of the article from the Louisville courier journal newspaper about the incident I described, and a few I didn't know about.
If this is how they act on their best behavior, on Sunday, in front of god and their families, just think how they behave when they think they are not being observed.
Louisville Courier-Journal:
"A Louisville man has filed a lawsuit against Southeast Christian Church, the Louisville Metro Police Department and an off-duty officer who was working security for the church last year, claiming the officer used excessive force while removing the man from church property.
It is the second lawsuit in the past six months filed against Southeast alleging assault by off-duty officers working security for the church.
In August, a Louisville couple filed a lawsuit against Southeast and two corrections officers who direct traffic for the church, claiming the officers “assaulted and battered” the pair during a stop after a church service. That case is pending in federal court.
The latest lawsuit, filed by Martin Buckminster, claims he had an appointment to see a marriage counselor at Southeast on Feb. 12, 2007, when an off-duty Louisville Metro Police officer was alerted and asked him to leave the church and “never set foot” on the property again.
Buckminster, who filed the lawsuit in Jefferson Circuit Court, claims the officer grabbed him and led him to the parking lot. When Buckminster asked to see the officer’s identification, the officer cursed him and slammed Buckminster against a patrol car, striking him with his knee, according to the suit.
The lawsuit claims the Louisville Metro Police Department did not properly train the officer."
Just think, this "christian" needs training to know not to beat the hell out of an innocent man for no reason.
There is a recent, documented event when the "church security" (My little ol church never had to have a security organization, guess we just relied on God) beat the hell out of some guy in their parking lot because they thought he didn’t belong there.
The thug who beat the guy up is of course also an off duty police officer working for the church security organization, (they are just getting more christ-like all the time) therefore its been dragging through the courts with the local police trying to make it go away.
Turns out the guy was actually invited to go there to attend some seminar on marriage counseling.
You may have a point however, they may not kill someone in cold blood... if they though they would get caught. Otherwise you are kidding yourself about these people.... or perhaps you are just ms-taken...
(sorry couldn’t help myself on that one.)
