Finding Obama guilty of insufficient devotion to Israel

Has there ever been another country besides Israel to which American politicians are required to vow absolute allegiance?

The letters thread is now closed.

General Zod

I dare ER to define anti-Semitism and to provide a single example of it from this thread.

* * *

That's a good start for our little spambot. Let's see what we get.

Antisemites like you are in no position to be making demands! Heh.

She keep talking to the cats expecting them to answer?

They answer. Especially Lily. Siamese love to talk. We talked about maple whirligigs in the garden tonight. They are on her list of favorite things, which also includes lightning bugs, bumblebees and moles.

What a waste...

Look - sorry for contributing to the off topic banter, but I like to think of it as particularly important sub-topic. If we can't get a real alternative opinion here, then we're left with what we've got. And we all know you don't go to war with the Army you wish you had...

I wondering what you think a rational point of view is? I mean one that's realistic? Use both sides of the test booklet if you like, take as much time as you want. Points off for degenerating into a pooh flinging chimp. I bet you can't do it. You got the angry sophomoric mob thing down pat. See if you can evolve beyond that.

How about any point of view? No "opinion" on the subject matter as any rational, educated adult would define it has been offered as of yet. This troll can opine (read: speculate) all he/she/it wants about the viewpoints of Glenn and commeters alike on all matters other than the subject at hand all he/she/it wants - which is why it is nothing more than a trollbot.

Until we see some real points and its explanation of why they support its accusatory assertions of God damned rampant anti-Semitism here, especially how it might relate to the topic of this (or any) thread - nobody should take it seriously.

@DCLaw1 - but of course. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE! ;)

Holy Leapin' Lizards*

If you go down to the woods tonight

You're in for a big surprise

. . . .

Waxing nostaligia this day.

I don't mind being called a 'nazi' by the likes of e. e. sugarman simply because anyone who isn't e. e. sugarman is . . . well, a nazi. No problem there. And I don't mind being called anything by Electro-lux because, well, it's coming from Electro-lux (like the proverbial broken watch, he may be right twice a day -- but that would be giving him too much credit). Besides, when one resides in the midst of a howling anti-semite pack, the insult gets absorbed by everybody . . . l'etat est moi? But the meanest, most shooterist, most bush-league handle is to be labeled a 'salonista'. This hearkens back to the day when people really thought Ronnie Reagan was the bee's knees, and that dirty mofos in camo who murdered people because they were 'commies' were good folks -- right up there with their brothers-in-arms from the Revolutionary War. Salonista always reminds me of ****nik. You know, attach a 'nik' to anything and you have a goateed daddy-o beret-wearing guy who chain-smoked and hung around with skinny blonde leotard wearing chicks. And all this pre-Starbuck's. So, as the Pretzledent once proclaimed (how many deaths ago??), bring 'em on . . .

*I believe Holy Leapin' Lizards was from a character in Playboy, but I was probably the only guy in the world who just looked at the pictures. Never read a word.

OMG! LOL!!!

Lieber Man was in tears, his already pouty face now a font of constipation and misery.

"Gipper help us," said Boy Lindsey, throwing his pen to the floor.

"My friends," began McMaverick. "My friends," he concluded.

[snip]

"The Vice Decider's body finally critically failed five months ago," replied Boy Lindsey, lowering his voice and drawing close to Lieber Man.... "Luckily, we were prepared for this inevitability, and we managed to transfer his still-living brain to a vat of nutrient solution connected to an experimental computer," Boy Lindsey explained.

[snip]

"He will become 4-BAD: Fourth-Branch Autonomous Dick," intoned Newtman. "It shall be done."

A single tear of redemptive joy rolled down Lieber Man's cheek.

There were tears running down my face too by the time I got done with this. That was just great!

@totallyblase

Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert!

Just kidding. Glad you liked it. I've got GOP Superfriends on the brain in a bad way.

@david sugarman

it's in the genes. the never-failing antenna.

Oh. Is that what they are? I hadn't heard.

The extensive research and discoveries that must have led you to develop such a paradigm are bound to revolutionize the science of genetics.

Make your findings public at once, I implore you.

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 07:20 PM

Yep, that'd be me . .

e.e. sugarman writes: @totallyblase -- aren't you the guy who used to leave the moment i hove into view?"

hove?? Yep, that'd be me. especially when you'd do about 10 pages of writing to yourself -- all uncapitalized. You were / are the proverbial guy that shits in the punchbowl.

"congratulations on your forbearance! anyway, it's time for ME to leave"

Good, see ya.

"i share the computer with my kids."

Jaysus dave, you have kids?? What?? Trying to oubreed the coacroach Palestinians?? You know, those lower-order baby-making machines??And hey, what's with the one computer?? Tightwad.

"i just basically wanted to support electro he seemed in a lonely fight"

Like a lot of bent people, he'll also die alone and unloved. Plus, guys like that don't like to share their spankings.

"i wanted to tell WinSmith that someone liked his analysis."

WinSmith?? I'm impressed -- you used capital letters!! See you really do know how to use that feature on the keyboard. Says a whole lot about your character . . .

"and i wanted to give my impression of Obama (a very positive one)."

Now you have me thinking . . . . a positive impression (as he pours himself another stiff shot of Old Poofter)?? Anyway, I'll let you have the last word.

"that's it. and to all a good night."
