I'm speechless at your mean and cutting comment. But just to set the record "straight," the quote I used was from an article Rachel did about the Obama New Yorker cover. She was quoting from the New Yorker piece itself. Look, if you all love Barack Obama, that great. I really don't care. I do think he's not all that he's cracked up to be. I don't expect to change your mind. Do I think that Iran will eventually bomb Israel? Yes, I do. They all think they'll be rewarded in heaven for wiping Israel off the map. Do I believe Barack Obama will do anything to stop a nuclear catastrophe in the Middle East? No I don't. Jelperman… I’m speechless at your mean and cutting comment.

I'm pretty confident that Obama doesn't want to see Israel blown off the map. But thanks for your feedback.

Probably the most telling example of your complete snarky lunacy was when you allowed the Obama people to write the following lie about the famous and literally true Barry Blitt New Yorker cover : "Perhaps the greatest misconception about Barack Obama is that he is some sort of anti-establishment revolutionary. Rather, every stage of his political career has been marked by an eagerness to accommodate himself to existing institutions rather than tear them down or replace them....he has always played politics by the rules as they exist, not as he would like them to exist. He runs as an outsider, but he has succeeded by mastering the inside game." For God's Sake! Obama built his career and campaign explaining how he wanted to take down the American way of life. You're so smart and so blind and deaf at the same time. You probably think that Obama will miraculously shield Israel from Iran. Let me tell you that Barack Obama will gladly see Israel blown off the map. God only knows what he has in store for all of us gay people. It's jerks like you that have made Obama possible... For God's sake, you never actually listened to a word he said, and I have to say that he was most forthright about want to fundamentally change America. God help us all.

Without it, your comment's like a FEDER AYN HINTEN - you can't sit and you can't fly!
