The American Spectator

It also sounds a lot like Sarah Palin. From the way most of you talk, she is the REAL Messiah. However, do you think she ever attended a concert? Perhaps that is the issue.

Wow. Bob. Your'e so damn classy.

Sarah Palin is a typical American mother who decided to get involved with her community and who has risen to where she is on her own , fighting corruption, and the power base in her state. and she succeeded.

No one thinks she's a Messiah.. what they say is the Ideal our Founding Fathers talked about when they envisioned an active and involved citizenry.

And here you are.. a small little man knocking her down. What a great American you are. What a man!!

I never really felt embarrassed for this country before.. but that first weekend she was announced for VP and the America-Hating Left and Media launched their Instant Jihad against her.. that was the first time.

I never thought Americans would be such savage beasts to that extent but I was wrong.

You guys sure are spreading your misery and hate around, so if that's your plan.. it's working.

Vince, you've got to be kidding. The way you and others fawn over Sarah does make her YOUR Messiah. Are you saying that Obama, who came from a poor family, went to the best schools based upon his intelligence, served the community as an organizer, and served in the state senate for 8 years didn't work his way up the system? Only the crassest ultra-right wing conservatives believe Obama to be "the Messiah". I see no reason why Sarah should not be treated in the same way.

I don't hate Sarah, she is just the least knowledgeable people who has ever been on a presidential ticket. That's not hate, it is fact.

What I find interesting is that you're willing to dish it out, but get upset when you are on the receiving end.

As I've said many times, my guy was Romney and I also like Jindal. Both are far better than Palin. By the way, years ago I joined a group that tried to recruit Jeane Kirkpatrick. It is not that Sarah is a woman, it is that she lacks the intellectual curiosity to hold the office of President.

Bitter Bob, you were gone for a while and I figured that your absence was our Christmas gift from you. Dang, you're back. Did you hear that Bristol gave birth to a baby boy yesterday? Ain't that great?

Bob| 12.30.08 @ 5:26PM

Ruth, I was never gone for more than a day. I see you missed me. Awwwwww.... Yes, I heard about Bristol. What a great example, getting pregnant before marriage just like her mother.... I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree....

ruth| 12.30.08 @ 7:09PM

Yeah, Bitter Bob, missed you--like a particularly nasty case of hemorrhoids.

Doug,
Something to cheer? The Post might survive this new year, but some are speculating that the NY Times will be auctioned-off. That moment - whenever it arrives - will be a moment for enthusiastic cheering, on the one hand, and anger over what Sulzberger had done to what had probably been America's premier Brand.

[winces] Bob has returned...

"I don't hate Sarah, she is just the least knowledgeable people [sic] who has ever been on a presidential ticket. That's not hate, it is fact."

Whether it's "hate" or not, one can tell by the follow-up "What a great example, getting pregnant before marriage just like her mother.... I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.... If that is not hateful, it is clearly bitter and poorly expressed opinion.

Whether it is factual... Hmmm. It has about as much of the ring of truth to it as in Bob's earlier claim that "[He] studied religion when [he] was young and translated the original five books of Moses from the original Aramaic when [he] was 10." He may or may not have studied religion, but if he had studied the original Five Books of Moses, he'd have found only biblical-era Hebrew in those specific volumes.

Bob's nonsense may be hateful, poorly expressed, grammatically challenged and factually dissembling, but I'm with Vince... it sure is classy.

I get the feeling that Bob is going to hang around here for more attention this coming year. It may be worth the effort to ignore it?

True enough, Ran, but sometimes it's hard to ignore a pain in the @$$. :)

Bob| 12.31.08 @ 8:32AM

It is interesting that Ran is so obsessed with me that he doesn't see his own radical bias. Perhaps he should learn something about biblical Aramaic. I am not a biblical scholar as he is, and I remember more Aramaic than is probably there. So, Ran, I'll give you this one.

However, it is a fact that Sarah Palin became pregnant prior to her marriage. Perhaps that is why they ran off to get a civil ceremony and didn't tell their families. This is not hateful, it is fact. Any by the way, in the same sense of "Magic Negro", it is satire. If you laugh at one, you should laugh at the other.

So, Ran, except for your orthodox religious background, do you have anything to add in terms of politics, economics, or even conservative thought? Or do you just want to spew hate at another poster? And please, if you wish to ignore my posts, given that yours have a lack of substance, please do so....

Ruth, on the other hand, I get a kick out of yours... Keep it up...
