I might release the attack dogs, aka, the moral police if you're not careful. Oh but wait, I forgot, according to your commenters, only YOU can be sarcastic. Silly me. I guess you're in the clear then. Whew. <BR/><BR/>I think from now on we should just keep our answers to no and yes. Maybe that would quit disturbing the political pot from mind- numbing stagnation to a rolling boil of movement. <BR/><BR/>After all, exercise only does the body good, not the mind.

I would like to think my figure is slightly more flattering than a giant squid, although progressing further into pregnancy may prove you correct. And since I can't think for myself, I listened intently to what the Klansman himself, my "hero", Glenn Beck had in store for us this week. While listening to his radio broadcast backwards, he gave specific instructions on how to create an underground compound in your backyard, stock-pile guns, and start nightly rituals of Beck worship. All of you are of course invited to participate! <BR/><BR/>Don't come over until after The O'Reilly Factor is over though, that is the only schooling I allow my kids to have.okbushmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905349504583004812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662234595493806811.post-50016908187415103412009-02-26T08:05:00.000-07:002009-02-26T08:05:00.000-07:00My apologies, OK.

I knew there was more to that story, so I shared it.<BR/><BR/>In response to your laundry list of Beck quotes, I would be willing to look into each, but I honestly don't see the point. You have made up your mind about him, and so have I. Neither of us will change the other's opinion. And like I have said before, I don't agree with everything he says or does. I would just find it difficult to refuse to find one redeeming or respectable quality in any person. That was the only point I was making before we stepped into this vicious cycle. <BR/><BR/>And Peter brings up a good point. When you are a public figure, every word you say will follow you around for eternity. One slip up, mis-speak, or sarcastic comment becomes headline news, and you are forever characterized by it. Or even if you have changed a position or opinion because of becoming more educated or through life experience, is unacceptable because you are a flip-flopper. I am positive President Obama has moved past V.P. Biden's comments about Obama being the "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean..." Yet at the time, it was blasted on the prime time news and over-discussed. Everyone in public life is scrutinized, but is it really what they believe or who they are? Anyway, I just find that interesting.okbushmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905349504583004812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662234595493806811.post-42404623287711004152009-02-25T12:18:00.000-07:002009-02-25T12:18:00.000-07:00Since you seem willing to make excuses for him--wa...Since you seem willing to make excuses for him--was he joking when he said that Hillary Clinton was "the stereotypical bitch?" Or "if you're an ugly woman, you're probably a progressive as well." Or when he falsely claimed the average UAW worker makes $154 per hour? Or about the California wildfires, "I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today."<BR/><BR/>Make excuses for those. And the thousands of others.ryPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504383209010655249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662234595493806811.post-58094746686893648312009-02-25T10:40:00.000-07:002009-02-25T10:40:00.000-07:00Wow again.Wow again.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504383209010655249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662234595493806811.post-31611079053852101762009-02-25T10:34:00.000-07:002009-02-25T10:34:00.000-07:00In regards to this one-lined question to Cong.

That might come from my lack of intelligence". Ellison responded to his question eloquently and from what I could find dismissed the question by saying, "It's just shock TV. Some pundits think they have to ask the most outrageous questions". Beck has referred to their conversation following the interview as friendly. <BR/><BR/>And as you probably know, the timing of Beck's question was after the 2006 Congressional campaign when questions of Ellison's financial campaign contributions from CAIR was raised. (An organization that even Sen. Schumer and many Jewish groups allege have 'ties to terrorism'). So although Glenn Beck later lamented his questioning, I would even argue the question might not be solely based on the fact that Cong. Ellison is the first Muslim Congressman, but that there were interesting issues raised during his campaign.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone else find this ridiculous or are the rest of you just relishing in the fact that the banter is not involving you?okbushmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905349504583004812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662234595493806811.post-43110569585696117612009-02-25T10:22:00.000-07:002009-02-25T10:22:00.000-07:00I agree Marce!

When you label someone a "liar, bigot, and demagogue" factual examples to back up such claims would make it more difficult to "refute your characterizations".<BR/><BR/>I have a knee-jerk reaction to anyone who throws around a word like bigot. Bigot is inflammatory and an absolute over exaggeration. To use such a weighted word without also giving any evidence to back it up is unnecessary.
