Sarah Palin resigning as Alaska governor

The Wasilla soap opera just gets weirder as Palin complains critics are "picking apart a good point guard"

The letters thread is now closed.

@psdoff -- (witnessing the twisted thinking of the left)

Their priorities are alway quite askew so don't try to make sense of them. It follows right thru from stem to stern. Everything's backwards and upside down from the norm.

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:18 PM

Oh, terkoy, quit...

...flirting with us! None of us are going to kiss you.

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:22 PM

@Villagejonesy -- You said Stalin, I didn't...

Baracky has no tendency toward Stalin's butcher-the-populace policy.

Trace Hillary and you'll see signs of Marxist worship just as with O'Bama.

They might be happy with Keynes, another of their heroes.

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:22 PM

Yes, terkoy

Well actually, I may kiss terkoy soon. But please--I'm on record, again and again, as being an implacable enemy of Marxism. If I thought there was a real Marxist tyranny, with millions being murdered and sent to concentration camps, and government-enforced allocation of commodities leading to empty supermarket shelves, I'd certainly write a letter to my congressman, at least. Tell us your evidence, terkoy! Tell us more--much, much more--about your ideas, and why you believe them! Please, I've asked twice already, and I know you didn't just say "Obama is a Marxist!" over and over for the last several days, without having any actual serious evidence?

Did you?

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:23 PM

limited health care subsidies or the extermination of millions

it's all the same for terkoy.

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:24 PM

Oh, okay...

So Obama won't be murdering millions in concentration camps. Whew! But are you saying he will forcibly allocate raw commodities and dictate which industry should get how much of them, and how much of what product they should make, so that shortages will result?

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:27 PM

Because...

if Obama and Hillary simply want limited healthcare subsidies, or some other European democratic socialist programs as social safety nets within otherwise prosperous capitalist systems, then I wouldn't actually have a problem with that. It would be highly inaccurate to call that "Marxist," however.

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:28 PM

Her was literally for the birds ...

I was praying that something big would happen to knock out or at least elbow the endless M.J. coverage - low and behold my wish was granted. The best part of her swan song were the sounds of the quacking ducks and geese in the back ground - squawking as if giving a running commentary on her ramble like a Greek chorus. That's comedy - that's entertainment!

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:29 PM

Oops

This is a tangent, though, isn't it? Or is Sarah Palin going to save us from "Marxism," somehow? And what exactly are the destructive manifestations of the particular brand of "Marxism" that Obama supposedly endorses? We have to know exactly what this means, in order to judge whether they're at all destructive. So far, we haven't heard one specific policy mentioned from you, terkoy; so it just looks like insubstantial name-calling, without any firm basis. Care to give us a list of reasons why we should be alarmed, to go along with just repeating the name, "Marxism," over and over?

@ Villagejonesy

If you kiss terkoy, you will get 'koy cooties.

Kiss me instead. You deserve a kiss for trying to hold terkoy accountable for libel.

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:40 PM

@Villagejonesy -- Would you settle for neoMarxist?

Jest thinkin that might temper things enough. I want to rise above limousine liberal cuz all of Washington and UN qualifies for that. They exempt themselves from all decrees. Bush tried to put thru Social Security based on the system enjoyed by the feds but it wasn't accepted.

At least Baracky isn't kissing Mugabe's ass (yet.)

Saturday, July 4, 2009 05:47 PM

@Villagejonesy

(Snicker)

Thanks;-)

Is Obama a Marxist?

Well no one knows except Obama, Micehlle, the duel passport chief of staff( Israeli/American) Emanuel and some in Chicago.

However it wasn't Marx but Lenin who said that to destroy the capitalist system simply debauch the currency. For those who went to college debauch means ruin. That idea ought to tighten your knickers a bit. Well look at the dollar v the swiss Franc. The Swiss Franc was 4 for a buck, it is now worth 92 cents. Look at gold, it was around 400/ounce months ago now it is close to one thousand dollars/ ounce. Look at the hugh debt being piled up. Look at the cost of a gallon of milk, look at the cost of a gallon of gas.Even if Obama confiscated all of the wealth of those hated rich guys who earn over 250K/year he'll never pay off the debt. But the middle class because there are so many in the middle class that it has the bulk of the money of the country. Hey kiddies, he's going to take it---"We've( You) got to sacrifice"

It is getting to be more and moe fun. Save your marbles kiddies.

I know it is Bush's fault.

bigguns itty bitty nuts

bigguns tells us that Sarah is "gonna beat all you commie libs to a bloody pulp", etc. Oh nooooooooooooo!

Seriously bigguns with the itty bitty nuts, you need medication. Get thee to a shrink . . . or an exorcist as the case may be.

That being said, I suspect that much of the wingnut population, such as yourself, sits on their grossly fat asses while drinking beer, smoking cigerettes, and jerking off at the prospect of beating commie libs to a bloody pulp. It is ironic that physical fitness, like being literate, is something you wingnuts think is only for elite commie libs.

Not sure how to break the news - no one is shaking in their boots at the prospect of an army of wanna be big, bad, tough wingnuts coming to get all the non-wingnuts, whom you call "commie libs". Something tells me y'all will need to be handicapped to make it a fair match.

For those who did not read bigguns several pages back - here is its original post (with a response from C. Mosby)

bigguns wrote:

Shorter neocon:

Sarah's gonna beat all you commie libs to a bloody pulp. In the meantime, to help her along, we're going to turn the amber plains of grain into scorched earth.

God bless America.

Over and out..

To which C. Mosby wrote:

Nice RW wacko summary. One minor nit to pick…

You left out the creepy and ominous “Hide and watch”.

With a predictable response from bigguns aka "RW wacko" as follows:

You're right. It belonged. And it is creepy.

I should have also added this P.S.:

"We torture for the tortured Jesus! Amen!!! And we will torture you too so that you can understand the love of our PERSONAL lord and savior."

Now, where do I get one of those personal gods?
