Of course, based on Rick Perry’s choice of preachers for Prayer-a-pa-looza, the Texas governor apparently believes in Japanese sun goddesses, believes the statue of liberty is a “demonic idol” and seriously thinks the antichrist walks among us as a daytime talk show.

i am certainly no fan of Obama but you don’t become the president by being dumb. Obama strikes me as a typical ivy league individual who has plenty of book smarts in theory of how things ought to work but absolutely no expericene in the real world or much common sense.

At least Perry knows we only have 50 states, even if he talked about making it 49.

The lefties that post on this site prove conclusively, that Obama is dumb.

Hannity is so lucky that Jon Stewart is on Vacation for another week.  You can see the sketch, can’t you.

Carlson and Hannity, are impossible to watch because they never, ever have anything intelligent and/or positive to say. Tucker’s history indicates that he is only employable by FOX and Hannity is masterful at being the No 1 parrot of the rightwing, wrecking party anti-Obama gospel, and he does say the most outlandish things without batting an eye whether its about Obama’s citizenship or Obama’s stupidity. I’m waiting for the surveys that try to gauge the intelligence of a specific audience. I’m sure the FOX score will be vI’m afraid I’m going to skip seeing this clip. McMahon usually comes across as a capable Democrat flack whereas ery revealing.

ANYONE WHO LISTENS, BELIEVES AND REPEATS ANYTHING HAIR PLUG HANNITY SAYS IS DUMB! HE IS A BOUGHT AND PAID FOR FOX ENTERTAINMENT CHANNEL PARROT!

by not having common sense i’m certain you mean:

“never should have negotiated with republicans”

Yeah, he should have invited good old Rev. Wright so we could hear how 9/11 was an inside job and then would we could of broke out into a chant of God Damn America!

how does a dumb person get to be editor of the harvard law review?

(My previous comment came through garbled-this is a correction) I’m afraid I’m going to skip seeing this clip.

This is a dumb debate to be having

Whatever else can be said about the president you don’t get scholarships to harvard law and Columbia, graduating with honors, and becoming president of the harvard law review by being a moron.

Is obama smart?

Yes i have a feeling he would put every single persons who posts on this site to shame

Is he an expert on all things?

NO, Jefferson was probably the only true polymath in the presidential history and even he made some rather intellectually questionable decisions

I don’t expect the president to be a master of everything I expect him to get the right people and make the country a better place or at least not make it worse than when he got it, which in Obama’s case would be pretty hard considering the economical collapse that happened

Obama like many politicians will get his grade next election, until then we should all hope he does a good job because that means if hes doing good the country should be doing good as well, something i think everyones in favor for 

funny how the 2 dumbest ppl on tv (tucker and hannity) debate how dumb someone else is

so a dumb person is worse than a traitor to the nation?

What’s wrong with you liberals, yeah a complete idiot running the second biggest state and for 11 years and most of the jobs are in Texas, but it’s your only way to re-elect obama tear the other candidate up, we sure know he can’t run on his record, and we all know mediate is liberal so you libs please underestimate Gov. Perry, it’s going to backfire, and by the way I’m a Texan all my life as Gov. Perry is and I’m not dumb, what’s with the insult to Texas , and do you have any idea how hard it is to get into Texas A&M ? Damm good school and also where are obamas transcripts? He never released them, wonder if Perry used cocaine like Obama did? Remember that? Press sure let that go

1. Yawn.
2. Turn off the caps key.

How so?

Remember when everyone said George W. Bush was such an idiot but then it turned out that he had better college grades than John Kerry?

So, liberals, I guess this means there is no correlation between Ivy League grades and actual intelligence, which means Obama is most likely a dummy.  An eloquent, over-hyped, over-praised, over-promoted dummy, but still a dummy.

Obama is not dumb, just lacks the judgment and practical experience necessary to run the executive branch of the US government.  When the history is written of the Obama administration it will — like the Carter administration — a story of incompetence.

THE REPUBLICAN/TEATERRORIST ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF MAKING AMERICA BETTER! THEY TORE HER DOWN UNDER THE 8 YEARS OF “W’! THEY HANDED OVER A HORRIBLE EVERYTHING TO THE NEXT PRESIDENT IN LINE!  WHY DO YOU THINK THEY PUT MCCAIN AND FALIN PALIN ON THE TICKET! THEY KNEW THEY WOULD LOSE! NOW THEY ARE OBSTRUCTING EACH AND EVERY LITTLE THING THAT CAN MAKE AMERICA MOVE FORWARD! NONE OF THEM CAN REMEMBER ANYTHING THAT HAD HAPPENED BEFORE THIS PRESIDENT CAME ALONG!

Time to show the grades , King Obama , if you went to college .

Bill Ayers wrote the book .

“Early Obama Letter Confirms Inability to Write”

   http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/08/early_obama_letter_confirms_inability_to_write.html

Maybe you should try again…still unreadable.  And you have the nerve to say someone else never has anything intelligent to say.  Ouch, that really hurts coming from you!

If Conservatives even bothered to read the Politico article objectively, they’d realize that the title was merely a way to provoke and invite debate. The main points of the article that I got was that no, Perry is not dumb per se. He is however intellectually incurious. He only knows enough to get him by. Look at his college grades. One of the only things in which he excelled was military training.

The furthest one could go to challenge Obama intellect, is to note that he is supremely, intellectually dishonest.

Having said that, when one considers that the moment he disappeared behind the curtain after taking his oath of office…he was met with the men that, while showing him a picture of his family, told him how it is and what is expected of him…his been smart in the sense that hes done what hes had to to protect his family.

btw…Hannity doesn’t have enough of a mind to detect, let alone know, when he’s the sharpest bowling ball in the room. Literally, hes nothing more than a high functioning idiot.

THE STORY OF INCOMPETENCE HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN TO “W”! WRITTEN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER! OF COURSE YOU ALL CAN TRY TO BAN THE BOOKS FROM SCHOOLS! TRY TO ERASE HISTORY OR REWRITE IT TO FIT YOUR NARRATIVE! “REAL” AMERICANS WILL NEVER FORGET!

Obama is smart but lack leadership skills, Bush was dumb but has better leadership skills than Obama.

If you say Obama is a dummy you are either a racist or a global-warming denier.

another moron pimps Cashill, a man who imagines Obama can write one book, but not another one….

with all the reasons to disdain the President, his college grades are where you choose to go?  Because graduating from 2 Ivies without your Daddy getting you into them, is the sign of a dunderhead.  Having the grades to make Law Review is the sign of possibly doing well.

The President takes a test everyday in his job; why don’t you people criticize him for that.  Seems that ground is pretty fertile

George W Bush is and was an idiot. His running of everything he touched, save the Texas Rangers, over a 40 year career of failure is proof of that

STOP USING CAPS LOCK!

Maybe you can go back to liking comments which purport to not understanding the Southern Strategy to show how non-bright you are

He will not and it’s sad

The former GOP operatives who run Fixed News are very paranoid and defensive of fellow Republicans. Bush could have started a civil war in every Arab country; he could have brought the country another depression not just the greatest recession since the 1930′s; he could have been even more unprepared for a natural disaster than Katrina. And yet, Fixed News would have been standing firm beside him. Expect the “fixed and biased” network to defend Perry aggressively against the most benign charges going forward. 

Well, we will see it.  This is too good to skip.  If Hannity could only dress up like a pot, so he could call Obama the kettle, black.  After all, he usually doesn’t have any problem pointing out Obama is black

He doesn’t know.  And, by not knowing, he thinks he’s smart

Negotiate? You mean, call them hostage takers, complain about them gumming up the works then blame them for whatever goes wrong? The GOP would be better off giving Obama what he wants, then letting him try and blame anyone other than himself for the consequences. That being said, at least Obama gives people the impression he’s smart, while the GOP candidates always play down their intelligence to their base, which is insulting and crude.

I would like to know that, myself. Obama strikes me as knowledgeable, yet, we don’t know his grades or any papers he wrote while in college. At least America knows George Bush was a “C” student and his father’s money got him into Yale. I want to know more about President Obama.

Let’s not overdo it. Yeah, Fox News is biased and they only care about the ratings. 

Bush is not an evil guy. He’s just a stubborn man. He’s either really stubborn or really sure of himself, depending on which side of the political spectrum you happen to fall on.

This is a ridiculous conversation. There is nobody on Earth who has ever gone through life without mispronouncing a word or making a mistake. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, George Bush, JFK, Ronald Reagan (yes, even Ronald Reagan) and Barack Obama. And hanging your argument on the pronunciation of the word “corpsman” is laughable. 

This is just self-righteous BS in the 24-hour news cycle to rile up the base and get Hannity’s fans to hate Obama even more. And it’s not like Obama himself is asking “Is Perry stupid?” If you have a problem with the premise of the article, then ask, “Are the editors are Politico stupid?”

But again, any chance to throw around some red meat will be gladly taken, especially when you know the recipients of that meat have no capacity to parse good information from bad. If it’s anti-Obama, it’s ALL good. 

If only Perry can stick to the things he supposedly wrote just last year, then I’m fine with that.  Because only an idiot of a politician with no hope of being elected to anything would claim in this country that Social Security is unconstitutional.  I used to hope it would be Bachman, but now?  Now, I hope it’s this loon.

Would you stop with this 8 years of destruction stuff? Yes, Bush was horrible, but all 8 years weren’t hell; just the last 3 or so years, when the economy started tanking and the wars became too taxing.

Wow, that’s a mouthful…

Or, at least wouldn’t have kept repeating the mistake over and over again.   We get it; the Republicans won’t even extend tax cuts for the middle class because it might help Obama.  They will damage the economic livelihood of millions just to get power back

seeing as only a republican would say that, then yes they are both racist and a global
warming denier.

There’s an impotence cure commercial that MSNBC loves to run all weekend that coincidentally mirrors the symptoms of your life. Heh!

Do you always write in run-on sentences? 

Exactly. Obama, to me, seems very intellectual, he just has no real-world experience, and it shines brightly in his Administration. He also surrounds himself with too many academics, as well. 

Same thing with Palin; I wouldn’t call either of them stupid, but, for a President, they ought to have better academic credentials. And someone like Perry would benefit from that, because, unlike the academics, he has a lot of executive experience. You either get one or the other, it seems.

Same thing with Palin; I wouldn’t call either of them stupid, but, for a President, they ought to have better academic credentials. And someone like Perry would benefit from that, because, unlike the academics, he has a lot of executive experience. You either get one or the other, it seems.

Again with the Caps?

Moderate stole my thunder, but the idea that Hannity, the ultimate partisan hack, who cannot even think on his feet and repeats the same 5 talking points for four hours a day has the balls to call someone else dumb is amazing.  He has literally never had an idea not fed to him by Gingrich or Levin.

I wouldn’t consider Bush a better leader than Obama. If Bush and Cheney and every other supporter of the War on Terror were so adamant about fighting it, they should have looked the American people straight in the face and called for “shared sacrifice”. I don’t believe in tax hikes, especially for going to war, but if Bush was serious, he would of called for taxes to pay for something as “important” as the War on Terror.

If Obama is so smart why can’t he do the job he was hired to do? It’s time to elect a president.

Dumb?  No

Evil? Absolutely

You all do know, Hannity never even went to college, let alone law school.  Him saying someone is dumb is just priceless.

Unbelievable. Hannity is a pathetic hack. Dumb people don’t go to Harvard and become president of Harvard Law Review. Dumb people work for Fox and spew Republican talking points.

Intelligence: the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations. Obama doesn’t fit this description.

We got 24/7 coverage Rev. Wright from the MSM at the time.
Perry’s still getting a pass on his gaggle of lunatic wingnutty preachers.

If I think of you when I wipe my keester that is no doubt racist in the weird upside down world of left-wing cult-followers that must have it’s genesis from the days of the Rev. Jim Jones and the Hare-Krishna phenomenon born from dropping a sh!tload of acid eh Crazy?

Seems to me that the only ppl ever talking about the golfer & chiefs color are his koolaid drinking base& as far as
his color everyone seems to forget his mother was white and he was raised by his white grandparents, so, that makes him as cracker as I am! Bless his heart he
can’t help it he has never had to fend for himself one day
in hi hopelessly pathetic life…

Who has been canceled on TV more – Tucker or Dennis Miller?
I think this has to be Daddy’s boy Tucker’s third of fourth attempt at working for a network.
Maybe someday execs will finally realize, bowtie or not, there just isn’t an audience for spoiled, empty-headed sons of conservative leaders.

24/7 Wright? That’s nonsense.

The answer to the question is yup, he’s kinda dumb. Early Obama Letter Confirms Inability to Write

whoop-de-doo. He said 57 states when he meant to say 57 contests or primaries.
Try as they might, conservatives just can’t get any traction out of that tired attack.
Maybe it’s because everyone know there’s a bit of a difference in slightly misspeaking vs. doing something truly idiotic, like Palin being stumped by the ‘gotcha’ question “Name a newspaper”

Early Obama Letter Confirms Inability to Write

Yeah, “everybody” forgets his Mom was white.

Try punctuation next time.  Bless his heart when his father abandoned his mother and then his step-father did, and then his mother left him with grandparents to raise him, because she had to make a living…..he just never had to work in his entire Horatio Alger, up from the middle class to amazing success of a life.  It’s like you people don’t the first thing about a guy whose major accomplishment prior to 2006 was writing his memoirs.  Are there just too many big words in there or something, gina?

yes

I complete agree with you 100%.  According to Hannity I quess all presidents have to be an economist, a 5 star general, an English professor, climologist, geologist, social scientist and every other speciality he deals with.  Hannity failed to mention a president hires the specialist to advise him, like everyother president.  Hannity’s rediculous argument the President is stupid simply because he mispronouced the word “corpsman” he read off the Teleprompter, demonstrates how desperate Hannity is in trying to find anything legitimate to criticize the President.   And since I mentioned he read it off a Teleprompter, don’t tell me that Obama has to use a Teleprompter unlike everyother politician, particularly Palin who also uses one dispite her criticism that Obama uses them.

That whole Hannity segment made him look particular dumb and rediculous and just reenforces my opinion of him.  It’s also probably an indication of the quality of the personel FOX hires. 

I see that you failed to argue with a single word in the piece, Timmah! Attacking the messenger is not going to change the fact that Obama is not all that bright. People have started to notice, some of us sooner than others.

Three Minutes, Two Teleprompters

President Obama required two heavy-duty teleprompters on Monday during a
three-minute speech in which he nominated Alan Krueger to serve as
chairman of his Council of Economic Advisers.

Single word in Cashill’s piece where he analyzes the grammar of one letter written 20 years ago.  Cashill, despite his expertise on subject verb agreement, is the sort of person who argues Obama didn’t write his own book, because, well, he said so.

If you want to believe that sort of moronic drivel, Godlstein does and you can go talk to him about other silly conspiracy theories and the latest masturbatory aides for body builders, etc.  But, much like no one outside of you and Jeff take Cashill seriously, neither do I.  I yawned my way through a piece that my high school grammar teacher Mrs. Gray would have called small-minded and petty.

I guess we see why it appealed to you.

“Who has been canceled on TV more – Tucker or Dennis Miller?”

Keith Olbermahn.

Bush’s biggest mistake was signing the crap that the Progressive/Socialist/Idiots in Congress were sending his way, his second biggest mistake was putting A-stan on the back burner.  Remember kids, you had control of both houses, for what, some 4 years… so who owns this mess?  Is Barry stupid, no I don’t think he is.  What he is, is lazy and I’m willing to bet his transcripts will show that, of course we’ll never see them.  Oh one more thing, did Bush ever crush the truth and facts like Barrys does?

Barry is LAZY.  To him, work is a four letter word to be avoided at all costs.  A reminder people, he wanted to be ‘a president’  not ‘The President’.  Huge difference just ask his good buddy, Hugo.

affirmative action

Needs a new keyboard???

And for the last time, why the f-ck are you people so in love with notecards?!?!  For the life of me, the difference between putting your speech in a teleprompter and putting on notecards is the difference between using a IBM Selectric c 1989 and a laptop with Microsoft Office.  What is your major malfunction about notes?  Perhaps, if John Roberts used notes, he wouldn’t have screwed up the Inaugural?

for God’s sake the pastor of my mom’s church was using a teleprompter at Easter services; the kids at a talent show I was at (doing a terrible rendition of Who’s on First) used one; why is it so odd the President would?  Do you have stock in 3M or Mead or some company that makes 3×5 cards?

“It’s like you people don’t the first thing”

That karma will bite your fat ass every time, patsy. ;)

can she name one yet?

now, be fair, only Todd was a secessionist.  Sarah just flirted with secession

He’s a mentally challenged sock puppet/troll. Ignore it.

I would respond to your comment, but I don’t know wtf you’re even talking about

You have no idea if he can or not.  You would only know that if you were around him.  Intelligence has no relationship to how the economy is running or how the country is running as a whole.  Your deinition is correct, but your appling it inappropriately.  The economy, for instance has many factors that factor in how the economy responds, and a presidents intelligence has nothing to do with it.  It’s people such as econmists under the President that advise him on what to do to improve an economy, not the President. 

How about wanting to know anything about Law School?  ‘Cause you ain’t eligible to be on a Review without getting exceptional grades.  So, you do the math.  BTW, law school courses are graded anonymously.

keep pimping it.  The more you want it to be true, the more it will.  Tap those ruby red slippers together, Pablo, and BELIEVE and it will happen.  I mean, it still won’t mean your nominee will be Romney or the fool who argues the most successful program in government history is unconstitutional. Even with this economy, Obama may win 40 states

 Well I don’t know about you but I want a president who believes the earth is 6000 years old and thinks that a women came from a mans rib. This is what I call progress.

thanks, pal.  I fixed it.  Maybe if you read it again and look up the big words, the meaning will become clearer;)

No?  I didn’t think so, but a boy can dream that one day someone on the Internet from Texas could, you know, not be a reactionary dufus

No, Timmah!, I’m looking at the totality of the evidence and the numerous examples of Obama writing muddled crap.

You go ahead and keep Hopenchange!™ alive though.

Really? Explain the process and requirements of being appointed to the Harvard Law Review. Bonus points for how you get to be President of it.

Do show us what your grades have to be to get on the Review.

Hannity has a degree from the Limbaugh institute of higher learning:) This consist of 120 radio listening hours of your favorite talk show host and then talking about the exact same things he does verbatim. It is a very hard degree to get because you have to put aside all critical thinking and original thought for your entire lifetime. Its almost like being a monk except you get to wear 500 dollar suits and babble on the radio and tv for 4 hours a day.

Aw, hell, I’ll do it myself:

Fourteen editors (two from each 1L section) are selected based on a
combination of their first-year grades and their competition scores.
Twenty editors are selected based solely on their competition scores.
The remaining editors are selected on a discretionary basis. Some of
these discretionary slots may be used to implement the Review’s
affirmative action policy.

insideguy,
Social Conservatives, I suspect, think “The Flintstones” is a historical documentary on our past.

They believe Man and Woman walked with the dinosaurs and swam with trilobites.

Boggles the mind.

Must be very exhausting apologizing for Obama 24/7…

Learn to use Google, Pablo and you might seem less dumb.  Still petty and contentious, but less dumb

Fourteen editors (two from each 1L
section) are selected based on a combination of their first-year grades
and their competition scores. Twenty editors are selected based solely
on their competition scores. The remaining editors are selected on a
discretionary basis.

and

That system came under attack in the 1970′s and was replaced by a
program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and
the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing
competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help
insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.

I see that you still haven’t argued with a word in that piece, Timmah! You sound angry, though. But nothing new there, huh?

Is the sky blue? Obama is no genius, he just plays one on TV (with his sidekick, El Teleprompto).

But to be fair, I heard he did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

The scary thing is that Glenn Beck is even crazier than Sean Hannity. Much crazier.
Yikes!

Two teleprompters for a 3 minute speech, Timmah! A sixth grader can nail a three minute speech from memory.

http://tinyurl.com/ydl5bnn

 Love FOX news and pundits, but boy how I can’t stand Hannity. He would fit in with BSNBC’s line-up if he was a liberal.

Affirmative action?  Affirmative action are government programs enabling minorities to get placed into institutions, not help them get elected when they get there.

And, for the second time today, we once again see a conservative who looks at a minority’s accomplishment and assumes the person could not be smart enough to get it on the merits.  There’s a word for that assumption, Texan…….no, no, don’t tell me……..Oh, yeah, a person who believes that is called an “r” word.

You know, Republican. 

really?  Just ’cause you hate him 24/7, doesn’t mean my comment was about anything other than the conservative fascination with notecards and teleprompters.

Just baffles me that you are that dumb, Texan.

It’s pretty bad when even Tucker Carlson is smirking at your stupidity.

Or at least WAR BONDS! whatever happened to those?

Hello, Pablo, I just mentioned it was silly and petty and focused on grammar.  WTF do you want me to say.  Cashill is wrong.

and being called angry from a white supremacist, poor-hating, anti-union dweeb who thinks the Republican party is too liberal for him is pretty angry.  You’re pissed off at the entire 20th century

Oh, I do like where you dropped that edit from the same para I quoted before you did. Why did you chop that last sentence off, Timmah!? You know, this one: “Some of these discretionary slots may be used to implement the Review’s affirmative action policy.”

No grades involved in that one at all, huh?

I personally believe Obama is a very clever man. In fact, I think he is far too clever for our own good.
I would hasten to add that clever does not equate to wisdom.
If we had a President who was wise enough to take the counsel of appointees he found who are smarter and wiser than himself, I would be very pleased. Political egos erode wisdom.

So, it has to be memory or notecards?  And, if the President is wasting time memorizing three minute speeches, instead of doing the rest of his job, then he deserves to lose his job.

Do you have anything real? 

Or is your entire argument about the President based upon personal quirks, 20 yerar old college transcripts, and whining that he just doesn’t use your preferred method of speech preparation?  What a petulant child you’ve turned out to be.

I can tell already that your posts will be intelligent and provocative contributions to the political conversation. Tell us more about wiping your keester. 

That’s not completely true.  Sometimes Palin writes her notes on her hand

Still haven’t got that keyboard tourettes under control?

He went to college.  He just couldn’t finish even one year and then started DJing.  He is very knowledgeable about……well, how to do what Roget tells him

Pablo, did you this?  You might be able to get a job!

What’s it like playing a knowitall on the internets?

And, his various fans are loose on this board.  Expect to be advised to buy Gold at any moment

“Some of these discretionary slots may be used to implement the Review’s affirmative action policy.”Tha bad part is you’re not very good at playing a knowitall in fact you suck hind tit. ;)

I suspect that you don’t function very well in the real world.  You’re the one who believes what you wrote – how was the swimming with trilobites?  Did they sting you or bite you?  Maybe you have trilobite fever and didn’t even know.  

Honestly freak – that was silly.  I suspect you were just bored or really missing Fred and Barney.  

Your post did boggle my mind – but you wrote it so I have to think you believe what you wrote (that’s kind of creepy dude).  

SAYS THE TALIBAN TURBAN WEARING TROLL!

Weird thing is, here, it’s not so hard, since most of the people here are conservatives who wouldn’t know a fact or how to research an idea.  They know what they hate and they write what they heard Beck or Limbaugh or Levin say or Malkin write. 

Honestly, Texan, I’m here because it’s fun to win all day.  It’s why I like my job and it’s why I like correcting you.

If you want to damage the economic livelihood of millions, then raise taxes on businesses, corporations, and capital gains. It’s getting harder and harder to cut taxes for the middle class, since people towards the bottom are paying less and less.

He did go to college.  He quit I think before he finished but I believe he crossed the portals.  So I guess you really didn’t know zone, you thought it sounded good.  

When I cut and paste from a news article, I don’t cheat.  That’s not what the article said, but I knew that’s what a raci….errr, Republican would claim.  

Funny I bought apple and I made a lot more money than if I would have bought gold. He should have an apple line commercial.

Why is he evil?  You don’t agree with him so he’s evil?  lol  That’s a rather simplistic approach to politics.  (I think Obama took a page out of your political playbook and look where it’s gotten us.)

Perhaps if you broaden your horizons and figure that there is your way, his way and maybe somewhere in between might work.  

If you’re not familiar with a word, such as corpsman, you tend to read it phonetically. This is what he did, it doesn’t exactly make the commander-in-chief (head of military) look like a genius. I don’t care which of the 57 states you are in, Obama demonstrates a lack of knowledge concerning the military.

BOTH YOUR BARRELS BEING EMPTY COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SO WITH IT!

Uh, actually, it’s the upper class that pays a less effective rate than they have since the New Deal. 

Still, your point is interesting in that it’s a demand-side, stimulus argument.  Too bad more conservatives won’t admit to believing Keynes

He does it for mockery, I believe. And you’re still shouting.

check your activity on Disqus and see where you liked comments on a thread earlier today which claimed that the Southern Strategy didn’t exist.

By the way, you DID just respond to my comment

The man can’t function without his teleprompter! Doesn’t that rise a red flag to any of you out there that still defend his so call intelligence! Today he used the teleprompter just to read a three minute speech. He is very lucky that the media promoted him as ” brilliant” because they knew that infact he wasn’t. From this point on they have to paint everyone else as stupid or dumb because they actually know that Obama is in fact the dumb one. However Obama is not soley the problem. The problem is the 52% of americans that were also dumb enough to fall for the medias spin! That is our problem.

You silly goose! Those don’t really exist. The war bonds are like the Tooth Fairy, or the Stork.

Wow, lets focus on this shit.  There are bigger fish to fry in this world.  Good lord has Sean seen all the Republicans using teleprompters lately?  This is the stupidest shit I have ever seen as something that is supposed to be important.  Sean Hannity will not let anyone speak. What an asshole.  

Darladoon:  To quote Obama,  the Republicans “won.”

What? “Tax Cuts” and “Energy”? Big deal. Not like it helped her in the Q&A, anyway.

A dumb person gets to be editor of the harvard law review because of affirmative action.   If you have some actual proof of Obama’s accomplishments at school, as opposed to preferential treatment, provide it.

We’re talking about Harvard, here, folks. I won’t deny that Obama seems smart, but guilty white Liberals making him President of the Harvard Law Review in order to make their university look good doesn’t sound too far-fetched, to me.

No he’s not evil there is no possible way a tape recorder can be evil I agree with you.

Just so I know, you ARE taking the position that the only way Obama accomplished anything was because of affirmative action?  Including election to the review?  Including being selected by an anonymous writing contest? 

I mean, I want to get the full Pablo “minorities cannot succeed without affirmative action” effect.  So, could you just say that Obama got into Columbia with affirmative action, was admitted to Harvard Law on the same basis, was chosen to be on the Law Review, despite his grades, and was chosen President of the Review on the same basis.  Is that your theory?

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the American Right

Well when he smokes your republican candidate in the debates he wont have a teleprompter:)

Uh, Obama never did that, B W.  Democrats said it (and it is and was true), but, if you think the debt ceiling was the only time he tried to negotiate with Republicans, then you have forgotten most of the last three years.

Three times?  on one thread?  Man, you found that nit-picking article just fascinating, didn’t you.

Hey, Pablo, here’s something he wrote three years ago. 

http://articles.cnn.com/2008-03-18/politics/obama.transcript_1_perfect-union-constitution-slavery?_s=PM:POLITICS

Read it and tell us how stupid he must be

I think Tucker wins, but barely, over Olberman, but it’s close.  Meh, they’re both dicks

Still, funny, when down thread the Constitution Party’s delegate to the discussion just can’t get past the idea that the President uses a teleprompter.  Meanwhile, his Tea Party sweetheart is writing stuff on her hand AND using a teleprompter

Sure, he’s lazy….what stereotype is next for the cons?

Barack Obama in a nut shell: Affirmative education in….affirmative action uneducated yet degreed moron out. 
 
Combine this with his deep seated hatred of the white man ( 2o years front row Wright’s racist church, mentalness over bust of Churchill being returned immediately, every single policy he champions hurts the white man in some way ) and it spells death and destruction for the white folks in America at the hands of the black president. 

Considering we pay all the bills…how dumb is that?

Apparently, you’ve never heard of speech writers. Candidate Obama may have written the rough draft, but I guarantee you a team of writers went over it & cleaned it up before he delivered the speech.

Stupid is as stupid does. The only smart things President Obama has done have been continuations of President Bush’s policies (Gitmo, tax cuts, Afghanistan war troop surge and the escalation of drone strikes). All of Obama’s own ideas have been disastrous and he can’t figure out why things aren’t getting better. He claims he got the car out of the ditch, but all he did was take the driver’s seat and push the accelerator to the floor. Now there’s mud coming in through the windows and he thinks the best solution is to add nitrous to the engine.

Obama may have been academically brilliant – we’ll never know because he won’t release his transcripts  (most transparent administration ever!) – but as a leader, he is stupid.

Pablo the Dumb Coward TeaBagger!!!

Go ahead and post the date you quit your union job, coward!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

BRAVO!!!!

You can always depend on BMG to pull his head out of his anal cavity to spew some of his good stuff!!!

CHEERS BMG!!! 

Just keep this kind of TeaBagger Cult zealotry coming!!

I think this is totally disrespectful regardless who is The President is. How dare anyone question someones intelligence. Politico and Hannity should both be ashamed of themselves. Politico for printing such garbage about Perry and Hannity for even raising the question about the President. Sickening! This kind of talk back in the 1950s would have labeled you a subversive and tossed in jail in some cases.

Your right because for the first 2 years (not including the last 2 of Bush) he had all 3 branches of the government and the Republicans weren’t invited to the table – so negotiating wasn’t an option.

I would be able to answer your question more effectively if I could get my hands on any editorial material usually drafted by the Harvard Law Review editor, but sadly Obama’s contributions as editor are sadly missing from print. I would be indebted if you could point me to something he hasn’t written that isn’t fiction.
I do know Obama’s vol. 104 is the least-cited volume of the Harvard Law Review in the last 20 years as verified by one of his 2008 supporters. 

Good luck! Mr. Transparency isn’t inclined to help you in that dept. 

It’s about as dumb as you are if that is possible. Go crawl back under the rock you came from.

Hannity is scraping the bottom of the barrel because he knows the Republican contenders are extremely weak.  

I bet Hannity only learnt about Navy corpsman when prepearing for this segment fro his producers. 

only when he is trolling.

If you can’t get elected by being dumb explain Dubya ;) I’m not a big Obama fan either, but I would pick him over Rick Perry any day.

Surely you have misspoken in your life. He knows perfectly well how many states we have. Misspeaking doesn’t mean you are dumb, it means you are human. 

you know you’re living in some parallel right wing universe when a subject
for debate is:  who is smarter, obama or bush?

it’s so absurd that it’s painful

I don’t give a Flying EFF whether Obamo got ‘All A’s.’ He obviously didn’t. What matters is that he gets an F in the job he has now.

Kick his white, Euro-socialist Ass out into space. No room for that here on THIS planet.

Fair is fair and the eggplant in charge at 1600 PA ave is a walking gaffe machine. Although to his credit’ he is more intelligent than Sharpton .

I know.  That would be like Obama and Biden your talking about.  Right?

Last night Greta VanSustren questioned why Politico would write a personal attack piece on Perry and noted that Politico has never done this to a Democrat.  It does make one wonder what Politico’s motives are and why they haven’t questioned Democrats.

Thats a lie.  There was minimal coverage from MSM on that.

I’ll take that bet. How much do you want to wager?

I agree, Obama does not stake up very well, does he?

Yeah, I’ve been reading your drivel for a while now.

I’m taking the position that you are a mendacious sack of weasel shit, Timmah! And also that Obama ain’t all that bright.

I know. It’s all my fault that you were just either utterly wrong or shamelessly lying, or both. Of course, instead of fessing up to the error, you have every right to invent an argument I’ve never made, put those words in my mouth and then demolish them, simply because you mean well!

You really are an idiot, Timmah! Why did you edit out that sentence, Timmah!? Explain, please.

You don’t research Timmah! You lie. A lot.

I’m glad that all serious people, even the last holdouts, acknowledge that Obama is unintelligent and is proof of the failure of affirmative action.

You just did it with the Harvard Law Review admission requirements, right ^^^up there^^^. You lie, Timmah!

One article has been identified. http://tinyurl.com/6cadod

It’s not terribly impressive.

The sheer irony of having Hannity and Tucker Carlson discussing whether Obama is dumb certainly got me laughing early today. Of course Hannity can point to that impressive doctorate degree he got from Reverend Moon’s Liberty College as proof of his superior intelligence.

Still a creepy little shit, eh Timmah!? Once a sleazy little weirdo, always a sleazy little weirdo, I guess.

Three minutes, Timmah! And two teleprompters. And the Smartest Guy Ever, who can’t deliver a pedestrian three minute introduction without his crutches.

Or is your entire argument about the President based upon personal quirks, 20 yerar old college transcripts, and whining that he just doesn’t use your preferred method of speech preparation?

No, it’s the pre-electoral lack of vetting and the post-electoral incompetence that concern me.

Politico has really hurt its own reputation; once billing itself as a down-the-,middle straight shooter, it has proven through its actions to be nothing more than another left wing organization.  Untrustworthy bunch for sure.

You tried that in 2008 but it did not work out so well. Fat chance of things being better in 2012 with republican tea party ratings going down fast.

Sweet Jesus, CLEMEZZA,  ”eggplant”/mouillion, that is a bonafide racial slur.  Maybe you should clear that post?

Wait a minute,,,, Clucker Carlson and Sean Hannity on a Panel to determine Dumb?????     Isn’t that like picking the better Menendez Brother????

If you’re not familiar with the word “Corps” you probably shouldn’t be POTUS.

Isn’t presiding over the Harvard Law Review a POLITICAL reward, more than any indication of aptitude?

Remember, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Obama before he took his first dump in the White House toilet – that’s another USELESS measure of achievement.

Oh btw Mediaite, take a look at your headlines. Is this becoming an online version of MSNBC? – attacking Republicans wherever and whenever they appear? 

Obama’s not dumb, but he’s your typical ideologically blind liberal who thinks the world is roses and lollipops; in other words, completely clueless.

What does it say about an industry whose top three “TALKERS” are college drop outs???    Still trying to find out whose the smart guy in that dumb room.

Who is evil,,,,, Hannity,,,  I  agree.

To liberals, EVERYTHING is a racial slur.

Con logic: Obama has a high IQ, but we don´t need an intelligent person in the WH. Bachmann for President!

“learnt”?  You may want to skip this thread.

Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions — the good and the bad — of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no
more disown him than I can my white grandmother — a woman who helped
raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

Yeah, that right there is pure genius. And it totally stood the test of time! http://tinyurl.com/mmjxo2

Con logic: Obama has a high IQ, but we don´t need an intelligent person in the WH.

As we have been civil to each other recently, let us continue?

Obama had/has a unique capacity for making people want to believe, to follow him, hence, “hope” and “change.”  Obama, looks good, sounds good and many, many American’s wanted him to be good.

(Note: there is a distinct difference between an opinion and a conclusion.)

Therefore, based on my observation(s) of “President” Obama, I “conclude,” when the man took office, he was “in over his head.”  Again VALKYRIE, this is not meant to challenge you or offend you, rather, is my observation, and I do not think history will be kind to the Obama Presidency? 

Purveyor

Guilt ridden white lib logic: A black man who does not speak in ebonics is a genius and he should be President.   Who cares that he has never worked a day in his life and got everything through affirmative action.  We have to make up for the evils that the United States has done over the past 500 years.

Apparently, you’ve never heard of speech writers.

Does Jon Favreau ring a bell, Timmah!?

Obama has got them beat by 10 miles as to “dumbness”.  Just look at what his administration is doing now, while we have huge unemployment problems and debt problems here.  He can’t handle anything himself, so he appoints people more stupid than he is.  And they’re doing a great job of destroying America.

Both men are doing EXTREMELY WELL, much to your chagrin. 
Tucker with his successful Daily Caller and DC Morning and Miller with his regular appearances on The Most Watched News Show on Cable TV for 14 years and counting, as well as his own radio show.

So not to worry about those “poor” guys being unsuccessful…LOL!!!!  Americans Love them!

It’s a popularity contest. Straight election, and member of the Review is eligible. There are no qualifications required for the position, much like a Nobel Peace Prize.

Obama has a high IQ? How do you know? Have you seen his transcripts?

When has he EVER done that????  He says he’s negotiating and then reneges on his agreements after getting pressure from the far-left wing nuts.  So his negotiation skills have been labled “JELLO”.

How about some more examples….like Obamacare for instance?

The middle class jobs are being outsourced to countries that don’t heavily tax businesses or big corporations, while Obama increases regulations and taxes on small businesses, which are the only ones left creating jobs in the US anymore.  Soon those jobs will be gone too if Obama and the Democrats remain in control

The word “eggplant” or its Italian counterpart, which Mediaite will not even accept, would be unacceptable or improper on a sign at a Tea Party Rally and one would be asked to take it down.

I agree with you Tru Dat, however, occasionally, they do get it right, occasionally.  In Philadelphia and New York “egg pant” is akin to n—-r.  (I would use the “N” word in this context, but, Mediaite won’t let me)

I’ am surprised that this is not obvious to some of you, my compatriots?

Keynes proved wrong again and again.  Even JFK was smarter than to rely on Keynesian thinking.  I seriously wonder if JFK would be a Republican, at least in thought and belief if not in name, if he were alive today.  He most certainly WAS NOT like his brother Teddy.

Pretty dumb,. if Obama is the example.

Actually, Hannity is a college drop out. Same as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Worked out pretty well for all 3.

Obama is book smart. Anything after that, he has no clue.

You never will learn more about him until possibly after he’s left office.  Don’t you wonder why none of his classmates remember him or speak up for him?  Why won’t he release his grades and scholastic records?

What makes you think the nominee won’t be Romney?  Waaaaayyyy too soon to count him out or even down.

SERIOUSLY!  I could not post with word Italian word for “eggplant” because of the racial connotations.

Watch “The Godfather,” they use the word frequently for authenticity.  The words n—-r and m——-n are so racially charged, Mediaite will not accept them.  Wow!  I tried to write a comment containing those two words in this context which is purely objective and, if anything, anti- racist, yet…?  I wonder if the Mediaite will accept “niggardly?”  Here goes…

Purveyor

College drop outs? Kinda  like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

A college education is not a sign of intelligence. Just ask Obama. 

Now that would be perfectly acceptable as a sign at a Tea Party Rally!  LOL

What is The President’s IQ?

Therein lies part of the dilemma of Obama.  We have been told these things to the point that many Americans began to believe them.  After all, he looks and sounds so good…

As for your name: “COMMON SENSE.”  Are you implying that there is knowledge that most of us should know, or, possess, ergo, “common sense?”  Or, are you implying there exists a ‘problem solving pathway of reason,’ that is available to all?  Hmm.

Purveyor

Is Obama dumb? Let’s see. Saying Navy “Corpse-men” 3 times in a speech, saying there are 57 states in the US, saying they speak Austrian in Austria, saying Israel is a friend of Israel’s, blaming the lack of jobs on ATMs and airport kiosks, claiming the inflating of everyone’s tires will supplant domestic oil production, claiming Porkulus would provide millions of shovel ready jobs only to turn around later and admit there were in fact no shovel ready jobs, saying “the time has changed for come”, needing a teleprompter to speaking to his own cabinet, needing a teleprompter to speak in front of elementary school kids, “the police acted stupidly”, claiming a tornado in Kansas killed 10,000 people when the body count was 12, claiming Obamacare would lower people’s premiums by 3000%, “at a certain point, you’ve made enough money”, speaking about “our fallen heroes” and then claiming he saw some of them out in the audience, confusing a dead soldier for a living one during a speech, “my Muslim faith”, getting his daughter’s age wrong, and my personal favorite, signing his name at Westminster Abbey and dating it May 24, 2008….on May 24, 2011.

So is the man dumb? It’s subjective, I suppose. I personally don’t think the man is all that intelligent not so much because of the aforementioned embarrassing gaffes, but rather based on his performance as President, his inability to grasp basic economics, and his over-reliance on a teleprompter. More concerning than his lack of smarts however is his laziness and complete incomprehension of how the real world functions. Obama strikes me as one of those lifelong academics who never set foot in the private sector a single day in his life. Ordinarily I don’t pay any mind to folks like that, but this is the first time in my lifetime that one of them has been elected leader of the free world. So that sort of worldview is no longer so harmless.

Neither silly nor petty is a synonym for wrong. The former two are both matters of opinion. Wrong is a matter of fact, and you’ve failed to offer a word of factual argument.

So given your mockery of Hannity’s educational background, am I to take it you’re basing your opinion of Obama’s level of intelligence on his academic record? That must mean you consider George W. Bush to be a damn genius given his bachelor’s from Yale and MBA from Harvard.

Because you don’t write hit pieces on Democrats if you’re shilling for the Democrat Party as Politico does.

The same way someone wins the Nobel Peace Prize when they haven’t done anything yet.

Miller:
Canceled by ABC
Canceled by HBO
Fired from MNF
Canceled by CNBC
now limited to guest spots on someone else’s cable show
= has-been

Tucker
Canned by CNN from Crossfire
Canned as CNN analyst
Canned by MSNBC as host
current claim to fame is a third-rate website that nobody reads
= never was

Common sense ain’t all that common.

He must be intelligent- he managed to win the Nobel Peace Prize without having done anything yet.

I think he is pretty smart.  It only took him two years to disprove keynesian economics!

I guess you missed how, during the ABC debate, Charlie Gibson and George Snuffleupagus decided to focus the bulk of the night on the subject (along with other stupidity like flag lapel pins)
And, in addition to FOX’s nonstop coverage and replaying of Wright clips, CNN and MSNBC aired the tapes repeatedly. Everyone heard it, but no one cared. Republicans tried to pretend that no one outside of FOX would talk about it, despite the fact that Wright became a household name. It’s one of their 3,452 excuses they’ve come with as to why they lost the election. Now show me where FOX has even once played the clips of Perry’s wack-a-doodle televangelists and their lunatic beliefs. There’s your difference – and the reason why FOX is not a news network.

Please explain “basic economic” to us. I am thoroughly facinated on your take. BTW… I would like to see you keep up with any amount of work that the President is doing on a daily basis. I’m sure we would be much better off with you at the head of the country for you seem to have the “basic smarts” to get the job done, basically.

Is who asked the question in the interview really so important that it prevented you into launching a reasoned answer to the question about his intelligence.  Here’s a reprhased version of it Val.

What basis is there to conclude that Obama is highly intelligent?

Much easier to make unsupported ad hominems about Hannity and Carlson.  Read Obama’s own letters to the editor of the Harvard Law Record.  He admits he was a beneficiary of affirmative action.  That doesn’t make him dumb, but it sure takes away the cred the liberal media assumes the Harvard Law presidency means.  His verbal adroitness is unimpressive and so are his analytical reasoning skills.  There’s rhetorical proof galore.  And as other posters have noted, his policy decisions have not reflected much in the way of either brains or education.

The Klan meeting is at 7 tonight. Try not to be late.

and there’s your standard Republican fallback position: Invoke racism.

Now cue the usual GOP whining of “We can’t even make racist criticism without being called a racist!”

There’s little evidence that he’s book smart either.  It appears  he was a mediocre student.

The truly dumb people in this country are the ones who make under $75k a year and think the Republican party is on their side. That is stupidy beyond the scope of reasoning.

He looks fine, but he sure doesn’t sound good when he has to talk about policy instead of lofty campaign generalities via teleprompter.  Off prompter, he’s a rhetorical disaster and on teleprompter most of the time lately he isn’t much better.

Cut Obama some slack
this his first real job!

My favorite is the time he said he was conceived because of the Selma march: http://tinyurl.com/3xcp8o

This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over
to this country. He met this woman whose great
great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea
there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and
they decided that we know that the world as it has been it might not be
possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something
stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama,
because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got
together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a
claim on Selma, Alabama. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma,
Alabama.

Obama, of course, was 3 years old when the Selma march occurred. He also seems to think that his father had motivations other than wanting to tap that ass. Stanley was hawt, y’all.

Ain’t that the turth! I was hoping, rather, expecting that my questions would have a similar effect to throwing a wrench into a set of gears into “FREECOMMONSENSE’s day. LOL

and still more Republican racism.
Here, I’ll save you the time of responding:
“Durn it, ah can’t imply that a black man didn’t rightfully earn his position without being called a racist!”

Peter principle, it’s worked his whole life. He keeps pushing that envelope. Affirmative action was also involved. Barry has management skills, he manages using the system like no other.

Good question about the Law Review…

I guess Birther idiocy has been replaced by “show us your transcripts!”
I figure that one will blow up in your face, too, should you decide to go down that lame route.
You lost in 2008. There was no secret conspiracy that caused it. There are no hidden documents that would put your beloved Sarah in the White House with McLame.
Your candidate and party sucked. Deal with it.

Surfergirl has never of two things:  first, the number of branches of government.  The Democrats at most controlled two, since the Republicans have run the SCOTUS since the 90′s.  Secondly, she’s the only person here who never heard of the filibuster.  I guess we can give her a 2a) as well, to note that breaking a filibuster takes 60 votes and Obama had 60 votes for all of around 6 months in those two years (from the seating of Franken to the death of Kennedy/election of Scott Brown).

She is also unaware that in the first year the Republicans in the senate set a record for filibusters…in one year! 

So, you know, maybe there’s a lot she doesn’t know, but she seems cool

Who seems angry now, old man?

Don’t be a fool, expat, Obama’s parents were both smart, and he was the frickin’ Editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Thank you to you and Norbit,  That is an excellent piece of esoterica that Liberals frequently use.  Now I understand the postion is merely “titular.”

No thanks. I like our labor and safety protections.

You hit the nail on the head, he was “elected” leader of the free world.

Pablo tries the shiny object trick to avoid admitting that he and Cashill are full of crap.

You mean the guy who claims he did not write that speech?

Oh, btw, I loved his direction in Iron Man

Things WILL be better once Obamo is bludgeoned. Companies hoarding cash now will start to unleash it after Obamo takes his last AF1 flight. The obvious conclusion is that Liberalism failed and capitalism needed to return under sunny skies. I am very pleased to report that I work for a giant corporation doing just that.

This will result in ‘perpetual Republican majorities’ of the kind you DIM LIBS thought you’d get once Obamo forced himself upon us with the help of his breast-feeding media accomplices.

“How do we know that Obama is a US citizen, have you seen the birth certificate?” This crap is so lame and repetitive.

Conservatives? 
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you
think it means.”!

Why do liberals think there so smart when they
cannot even fill out a ballet properly?

What do you base Obama’s supposed intelligence on? I know it can’t be his job performance as President thus far. If you make that claim, I think Politico may do a story on your lack of cognitive abilities next. I hope it’s not because he knows how to read a teleprompter. You could find plenty of people who are good public speakers, but not so smart when it comes to anything else(just look at that homeless dude, Ted Williams, who has the great voice yet ruined his life with dumb choices).

Which brings us to his educational background. He went to Columbia and Harvard. Did he get in thanks to affirmative action? Who knows? Who bankrolled his tuition? Got me. Why are his transcripts under lock and key? I would venture a guess it’s due to a poor GPA or some courses he’d rather the public not know he took. But that’s beside the point. The real question that no lib can ever answer is that if Obama’s Ivy League education backs up the claim that he’s a brilliant mind, then why does the same not apply to George W. Bush who graduated Yale and got an MBA from Harvard?

Says the guy who apparently forgotten that the president was invited to the Republican Caucus Retreat to negotiate and explain healthcare, who forgot that Max Baucus was given four months to negotiate a deal with Chuck “death panels” Grassley, and forgot how the ENTIRE healthcare plan originated in the Heritage Foundation.

seriously, you guys might want to start getting your news from someone other than Rush, because either you can’t remember things which happened a whole two years ago or you just weren’t paying attention at the time.  Too busy buying tri-corner hats and telling the Government to stay out of your Medicare?

The real point is Obama’s refusal to release his own transcripts which supposedly show he also got bad grades. With both, I’d question whether it was lack of intelligence or lack of focus. I’d bet on the latter.

So you liked that one, eh Pablo? LOL.

Gee, I can’t see anything wrong with the arguments put forth by Hannity and Tucker Carlson.  Especially their points about releasing his writings while allegedly President of the Law Review at Harvard or any other schools he went to.  And clearly the point about calling every Republican a dunce while every Democrat is the most intelligent man to every sit in the WH is well taken.  Question for the Dems….is Obama smarter than the “Smartest President Ever”, Bill Clinton?

yes, he was like Teddy and he was, at the time, called a dangerous liberal by people like you.  It’s why his advisers warned him not to travel to Texas.  Kennedy was the ultimate disciple of Keynes; his tax cuts were explicitly made to stimulate the economy and he claimed the deficit would be paid for by the stimulus of the tax cuts.;  Same thing Bush claimed in 2001.

Here’s a historical analysis http://www.slate.com/id/2093947/

I suggest you change your name too:  ”REPUBLICAN’S ARE MENDACIOUS?”  Ooo, Chicks digg guy’s, with a multi-syllabic vocabulary!  Somehow, I am sure you will have little or no trouble finding semi-literate “Chicks” who don’t know the definitions of the words you use, and don’t much care either…

What do you call a “useful idiot” groupie?  LOL

Purveyor 

It must be so difficult trying to make the argument that Obama is stupid (that does not make you sound like you are the moron), when the guy graduated from Harvard Law School, editor of the Harvard Law Review, an adjunct professor of Constitutional law at University of Chicago, and the author of the most remarkable presidential campaign, probably in history.

I STILL think the nominee will be Romney, whom Pablo hates for being rational and connected obliquely to thought, reason, science, and the 20th century.  If it’s anyone but Romney, Obama should win handily, because the Republican base imagines it represents more than 27% of the American people and it does not.

Romney will be a formidable opponent for Obama, especially with a tanking economy.

Ahh, so that’s it, you are an “agents provocateur?”  Ouch!

Impossible to be dumber than Obama and Pelosi and Reid.  Simply impossible!

And the grifted laughs with the grifter….

With the exception of Oprah, Bill O’Reilley or Rush Limbaugh and a few other long lived shows, just about EVERYONE has been cancelled at one time or another.  That’s just the way it works in TV and/or radio.

Yep, them teleprompters were FIRED up!

Obama’s father was smart? Dude was a drunk and a polygamist who got into so many car wrecks due to excessive drinking that he lost his legs in one accident and his life in another.

And regarding Obama’s time as editor of the Harvard Law Review, he never published any article of his own during his entire tenure. I guess that’s the equivalent of voting present.

Right, because he has to read postings by people like you!

Which proves that he is smarter than his followers. They still believe in them.

Which proves that he is smarter than his followers. They still believe in them.

Just goes to show you that liberals are even dumber than Obama.

Unlike you loony libs, conservatives are for the betterment of the Country, you know, the Country JFK spoke of.  Today’s loony lib is all about me, me, me.  You want a better life?  Get off your liberal ass and make something of yourself.

Claiming that all Republicans are Liars is what is defined as being a Bigot. He’s actually declaring”Look at me I’m a Bigot”

“TMP”

So you think Rev. Wright is OK and the fact that Obama sat through his preaching for 20 years and didn’t buy into Wright’s Hate America…”God Damn American!” rants is OK?  Do you really believe that BS, that Obama never heard him say those things, holds up?

And talk about a whack-a-doodle, apparently you are as ignorant as you sound.  Since when is Fox News not a news network?  You could have fooled America, including the White House, if that’s true.

Apparently you cannot read or comprehend anything other than a simple declarative sentence.  Oh well, what can one expect from a Liberal.

And that just proves that he was smarter than those that elected him, and that still carry his water. You definitely prove that. We know why smart it a “relative” term now don’t we?

Speaking of relative. His family looks like they are smart enough to game the system that you and president downgrade fight so hard to expand on a daily basis. Auntie Zetuini, and uncle Omar are the type of people Americans are forced to pay for year after year with your garbage social justice programs of spreading other people’s wealth.

Apparently you did not hear about the rout of Nov. 2010 when you guys were “shellacked”, to quote your figurehead of a president.  Is Obama ashamed of his writings, if indeed there were any?

Keith Olbermann called Chris Wallace a monkey.  Bill Maher Called Sarin pallin a twat and a cunt.  Clarence Thomas was called a lawn Jockey by George Curry of Emerge magazine.  And so on and so on.  Nobody is asking them to clear their post?  Why should I?

I gave you cites to how you get on law review at Harvard – written by Obama himself.  He was the first president of the L.Rev to not have his article published.  President of Harvard L. Rev is a purely elective position, and I never said he wasn’t a good campaigner.

I was an editor at the Stanford law review, in the same era as O was at Harvard.  This is not a topic on which I am the fool.  Pick something else.

Hannity debating whether someone is dumb is like a noseless man-monkey, drenched in faeces and vomit debating whether or not someone smells.

Speaking for myself and I assume for many of my compatriot Conservatives:  It is not about whether or not I make more or less than $250.000.  It is about honor and principle. 

What makes me a Conservative, is that I believe in “principle.”  Specifically, and in this case regarding Taxes and our economy, I believe in “EQUAL PROTECTION.”  My adherence to that principle and the Constitution overall which is the embodiment thereof, helps me to overcome the petty human quirks and idiosyncrasies such as envy and jealousy.

To the Socialist-Liberal, “principle” tends to be an obstacle that must be overcome as the Socialist- Liberal, finds core philosophy and principle an encumbrance to their goals.  Ergo: Equality of outcome, NOT equality of opportunity.

Men and Women that live by “principle” are, generally speaking, people of character and honor.  Those who lack principle, tend to rationalize and justify, rather than demonstrate reason in their decision making.

As repetitive as Bush lied or stole the election? Or Sarah Palin is a quitter?

As for Obama being invited to the Republican Caucus Retreat to negotiate and explain healthcare, I watched that farce on TV.  While Obama got his head handed to him by the extremely intelligent and knowledgeable Paul Ryan as to what that act would mean and cost, he completely ignored any and all suggestions put forth by him and the Republicans.  He let Nancy Pelosi handle it because he truly knew very little about what was in the bill, as admittedly was Pelosi.  After all, didn’t she way “We have to pass the bill before we’ll know what’s in it”?

Or better yet, Biden for president!

Was merely a suggestion, don’t think I didn’t laugh…

Pablo tries the shiny object trick to avoid admitting that he and Cashill are full of crap.

You linked the speech and asked me to point out the stupidity in it. I did.

Ad hominem is not an argument, Timmah! You are full of crap. I can tell because you’ve got nothing to work with.

My response to timb1116 regarding JFK being advised not to travel to Texas, remember that it was still a Democrat state back then with a Democrat Governor riding with Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson in the car behind.  So how do Republicans get blamed for the atmosphere?  Wasn’t Lee Harvey Oswald a left wing nut job who sided with and spent time in Communist Russia and Cuba?  Good try in deflecting, but it won’t fly.

By the way, there was no Stimulus in 2011…it was not until 2008 when Bush proposed a ONE time stimulus and it didn’t work for Bush either, except maybe to temporarily stem the blood flow from Wall St and banks.

And yet for some reason your precious “equal protection” is thrown under the bus when it comes to bankers, war criminals etc.

Essentially, you did not like the result of the last presidential election, your candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin were beat by a fairly large margin by a half white, half black, Harvard educated Islamic man, and a career foot biter. And you say the smart people voted for McCain/Palin? Sure.

Obama has been symied by the republicans, but that is just sauce for the goose because with the next election, republicans, who have abused their elected positions, to our country’s detriment, will have no power at all and Obama will have the majorities he needs to implement the people’s will.

Noticing that you’re a creep is a product of simple observation, Timmah!, not anger.

I should add that your point about the parents both being smart is a legitimate one.  Genetics is a factor, but I’m sure you’d agree not determinative in itself.  I’m trying to differentiate the analysis into two categories:  IQ and learned education – the “brightness” if you will that comes from a truly excellent education.  That education requires more than taking up a seat in a classroom.  Frankly, I think high school may be more important than college.  He did poorly there.  He won’t disclose any of his academic records, which does lead to the conclusion they were probably not stellar in college.

I think he was a mediocre student at some good schools.  That to me also connotes laziness, which he appears to have in abundance.  He showed great talent for a long time at being a consummate politician, which takes some brains.  Perry appears to have that same type of “intelligence.”  

Rest assured, I’m not happy with Perry’s academic credentials either – especially the D in Econ.  But the the beauty is the MSM would not get into the details of the intelligence/education issue during Obama’s campaign – particularly the refusal to release the transcripts that any graduate would be required to supply for a mere law firm entry-level job.  Now that they’ve placed Perry’s intelligence and educational record on the table, they will no longer be able to escape the devlish details of Obama’s academic career either.  It’s now fair game for all – but note how even on this conservative Fox show, the AA word was not uttered once by anyone.  The elephant, er Donkey in the room.

You sound like an idiot arguing that Obama is dumb. OK? Harvard educated, Editor of the law review, adjunct prof of con law, univ of chicago? You can say that he is not as smart as some other smart guys, but nobody who graduates from Harvard Law School is dumb.

Basic economics? Well here’s an example of Obama not grasping one of the first things you learn in Econ 101: supply and demand. Take his repeated claim during the Obamacare debate that his plan would expand coverage to 30 million additional Americans while reducing overall costs. How the hell do you add 30 million people to the health care rolls and lower the cost?! Those millions of folks are gonna be using the same pool of doctors, hospitals, and drugs. The supply won’t be increasing at all while the demand will be going up astronomically, yet this basic economic fact appears to have escaped Obama. Well, I take that back. Reality did eventually catch up with him as he’s now admitting over a year after ramming that monstrosity down our throats that in fact health care costs will not be lowered by Obamacare.

And let’s not leave out his brilliant approach to energy production. He shuts down drilling in the Gulf, prevents any new exploration in the rest of the country, makes the approval process for new nuclear plants take an eternity, and sends the EPA after the coal industry leading to a bunch of those plants getting closed, and then wonders why gas prices are skyrocketing and Americans’ energy bills are starting to rise. I’ll give you a hint, Barry. It ain’t because of the Arab Spring.

As for the country being better run under my tutelage, since I wasn’t born in the US, I can’t be President(insert Obama birth certificate joke here), so it’s a dumb hypothetical anyway.

or that Dick Cheney was really in charge.

I’m laughing at the notion that Obama is dumb, yes. Only a defrocked lawyer would even make that argument.

he’s as dumb as a fox.  this guy knows exactly what he’s doing … turning this nation into a third world country that michelle can “be proud of”.  if being dumb was the problem, he would have advisors telling him what to do.

History will not be kind to the conservatives for selling their soul to the tea party, thereby leading to the party’s complete demise in 2012.

It appears?

Even John Stuart Mill can not help you, my friend. The numbers do not add up for the republicans. Democracy will prevail.

lol  are you kidding me???

Well, we have nothing against using machines as tools, cuing speech lines, its when the machines are using people as tools that we object.

After you finish up with this Obama is dumb matter, can you work on that angels on the head of pin project?

That sounds about as hard as making the argument that Bush is stupid. Graduated Yale, Harvard MBA, fighter pilot, etc…

The election was remarkable only in that America actually bought the Hopenchange scam. Told ya so.

So, we’ll do it your way, ad hoc, willy nilly, put a despot in charge surrounded by people who are so smart they know what is good for everyone else? However, your point is taken. But, the Founding Father’s gave us a Principled Constitution with which to start and continue forward from. That we allowed ourselves to be led astray is NOT a reason to abandon what our forefather’s created. On the contrary, the Constitution has built into it methods to redirect and repair according to the exigencies of the need. Regardless, make no mistake, if you are intent on disposing of our Constitution with Socialism, I WILL STAND IN YOUR WAY!

“Why do liberals think there so smart when theycannot even fill out a ballet properly?”

Ironic in the extreme.  But please don’t hesitate to send pictures as you and the rest of the crew down at Mensa fill out that ballet. I’m much of a fan myself, I hear the Nutcracker is nice around the holidays.  

That’s an opinion. Understand?

I knew John McCain graduated from the Navel Academy.  I also know that he did that just barely, because he compiled enough de-merits to almost get kicked out!

How many de-merits did Obama get? (they don’t have de-merits at Harvard, I know. Is a metaphor) Obama, despite the Birth Certificate, remains an enigma?  Why do you and others accept this?  I don’t and I wouldn’t no matter who the candidate was…

Don’t count on it, the man can’t think without a script and it must be on a Teleprompter to boot. Again its a shame how people like you still believe that the guy has two brain cells to rub. You’ve been had and the media is counting on you to stay dumb as well as they’re promoting Obama as ” brilliant”! You’re the problem, because if not Obama, they’ll get you to vote for whom ever they want you to vote for.

Moreover, isn’t “equal protection,” “precious,” to you also?

That is part of our birthright as the children of Jefferson, Adams and Madison.

Or do you prefer a “hand me down” from Karl Marx and Lenin?

I think that you would have to observe that as American government has slid to the right over the past 30 years, going from a democracy to a corporate plutocracy, that the principle of individuals having an equal right to become unequal has decayed beyond measure.  

Opportunity to a decent education and a decent job have been ravaged by the destruction of educational funding and rampant outsourcing of jobs.   Furthermore, as Farnsworth noted, there are vastly separate laws and treatment for those who can afford to purchase their own rules, laws and regulation.  The last nail in the coffin may be the Citizens United ruling of 2010.  

I benefited from being born with the money to go to a good college and that as much as decades of 80 hour work weeks allowed me some measure of affluence.  If I had been born in a poorer home today, I don’t think all the work in the world would allow me to climb far.   It’s a rigged game, and the modern day GOP, with ample help from feckless corporate dems, is dedicated to rigging it more for their pay masters.  Hardly the definition of ‘honor and priniciple.’

Plus how did the media get ahold of Perry’s transcripts and they didn’t care to get Obamas? Well the answer is very simple, they’re promoting Obama as a ” brilliant” man and I’m like you, guessing that the promotion of ” brilliant” doesn’t match up with the grades. The liberal media will promote the person they want, and demean the person that they fear will get in the way of their socialist agenda. Perry, Palin, scare the hell out of them.

Yes the media is doing some fast media messaging with the tea party popularity is really going down. Well I welcome that message because like in 2010 they also disregarded them as inconsequential and the rest is history. Just like they promote Obama as brilliant, and we all know how that’s turning out, they promote the Tea Party as yesterday’s news. Again, that just helps wake up the giant.

Wow.  Talk about baseless personal attacks.  So ex-lawyer means “defrocked” to you, huh?  You sound exceptionally bright.  Am I also a “defrocked” American, Val?  Is that what “ex-pat” means to you?  

Newsflash Val – I’m not the focus here.  I only mentioned my personal law review experience after without a shred of logical reasoning or example, you called me a “fool.”  You keep wanting to avoid talking in detail about Obama (and who could blame you).  He’s the president; he’s the focus.  Not me, Tucker, Hannity, Fox News, or other posters.But speaking of defrocked.  Please let everyone know about Michelle Obama’s storied legal career, and hubby’s as well.  I’d especially enjoy your shedding light on their bar admissions records.  And don’t worry, you’ve taught me well.  I know Michelle is also extremely bright based on her achievements in sociology and African-American studies – an impressive double-major, at Princeton.

Isn’t the race card getting old? Speak you’re mind, they do. Trying to intimidate us by throwing the race card isn’t working anymore. The left can spew ugliness and it’s ok but we make valid points and were racist. If they can’t make intelligent arguments, they throw in the race card.

If I’m intent on disposing of the constitution with socialism you’ll stand in my way (fair enough) but you’ve no problem with the constitution being shredded by borderline fascists (Cheney et al)?

Con logic: Commenting without noticing that Tucker Carlson said something about his IQ.

Con logic: Roughly doubling the period of time the United States exist.

Thanks for bringing race into this. Speaks volumes.

My guess is you consider Bush dumb, yet he graduated from both Yale in 1968 AND Harvard Business School in 1975.  But that’s okay, we all know you libs are the most hypocritical bunch of morons to grace this planet.

BTW, I never stated that Obama was dumb.  I stated that liberals are dumber than Obama.  But hey, you’re a liberal so we can’t expect you to have much in the area of reading comprehension, or you wouldn’t be a liberal.

And 2010??  What happened there???

1) do you even know what a fascist is? You people who spew that crap never seem to define your terms.

2) many people have a problem with anyone or anything in this country allowed to work outside of the boundaries of The Constitution. Many people and things are, established by people of both “parties” comprising the ruling elite.

Dick Cheney is the least of my concerns at the moment.

My nick is not commonsense, but freecommonsense.

Would call that a nice example for a lack of common sense.

Needless to say, this doesn’t exactly help the argument that the Tea Party members aren’t racist.

Needless to say, this doesn’t exactly help the argument that the Tea Party members aren’t racist.

Boring….and your ignorance is showing.

You still didn’t answer the question.  Where are Obamas’ transcripts?  We know he can’t even write at a 9th grade level but President Burgandy sure can read a teleprompter.  

It was Democrats to started the “Birther” issue. Most Republicans avoid it, even though His Oneness keeps releasing fake records.  The last one used at least 5 different typewriters.  Why does Obama refuse to reveal his transcripts? 

JFK had to go to Texas, polling showed they were losing Texas to Goldwater.  Plus it was a Commie that shot Kennedy, not a Bircher.

He was a Tabula Rasa, acceptable to both the moderate and extreme left wind law students.  If you read the only item he wrote while editor of the Harvard Law Review, you would realize how poor a writer BHO really is.
http://www.hlrecord.org/2.4475/record-retrospective-obama-on-affirmative-action-1.577511?pagereq=1

But the other 30 will kick BHO back to Chicago.

There was no racism. The HLR proudly admitted supporting affirmative action.  What classes did BHO take and what grades did he receive?  I am sure you can get those for us. We are waiting.

You’re questioning the validity of the Nobel Peace Prize?

Some recipients include Mother Theresa, MLK, Kofi Annan, Theodore Roosevelt, Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Albert Lituli, Linus Carl Pauling, Rene Cassin, Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho and a few notable others I could mention, but as you rightly say ‘No Qualifications Required,’ the Nobel Peace Prize is just handed out randomly…apparently with no qualification required.

“The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: /- – -/ one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
(Excerpt from the will of Alfred Nobel)
http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/You are quite right no qualifications required, except perhaps meaningful work or a life’s work of servitude and selflessness for others. You are quite correct no qualifications required. I mean seriously what did these people ever do that was as you rightly say gained them the Nobel award which requires absolutely no qualification. No doubt next year, the US recipients could be the thoroughly popular and selfless Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Snookie or even perhaps for her painstaking cross country tour Sarah Palin. 

My hero Jefferson was a liberal. I’ll stick with that.

No, every one here knows that I like Bush.

To ex-pat,

Sorry pal, did not mean to make a personal attack. But you impeach yourself just by making the argument that Obama is somehow dumb. Really, that’s just silly.

More like a guess.

‘Obama, of course, was 3 years old when the Selma march occurred. He also seems to think that his father had motivations other than wanting to tap that ass. Stanley was hawt, y’all.’

Well, I guess you’ve stated it all in very clear clear language for all to understand without any measure of bias or malice. 

Congratulations.

I have to reply to myself, because for some reason that option isn’t available to respond to TIMB11. 
Response to TIMMY:
I believe our Constitution mandates 3 Branches of Government. Obama has recently appointed 2 of those judges which was the point- that you clearly missed. He had the power in the Senate to push through whatever candidate he choose without opposition. But since you brought it up, how about all those filibuster led by Reid to block over a dozen judicial appointments of G. Bush, from ever reaching the Senate floor for a vote?About those filibusters? Exactly how many have the Republicans enacted since 2008? …and why was the ‘threat’ so necessary?  - why don’t you ponder that question for a minute.Here is a term for you “cloture” – why don’t you take some time and look it up and see how Reid and the Democrats have been using it to kill bills before they even get to the Senate floor for a vote and blame it on Republicans. Here is a Hint- it hasn’t been to end filibusters.If Republicans are the “Party of No” then how have over 100+ laws, signed in by the President ever gotten passed? Obama has always been a partisan political player- he did not change when he took over the Oval office.  He ineffectiveness to reign in (or maybe it was intentional) Pelosi and Reid tore this country apart because any real compromise was never on the table….and I am sooo happy you think I am cool, cause your opinion really matter to me.

They don’t come any dumber than Sean Hannity. The anti-science conservatives have the market cornered on stupid.

hannity and carlson combined, don’t have the brain power to punch their way out of a paper bag. Two losers, hannity, the little frog, with hatred and venom oozing out of his mouth, unless he’s drooling over his stable of 20 yr old hotties, and carlton, trying to fit in. hannity called one of his guests stupid for disagreeing with him. He was on a rant last night, and never mentioned the hurricane.  Hmmmmmmm.

Especially if they happen to be conservatives trying to make a living in the liberal media!

You forgot Yasser Arafat and Al Gore. The Peace Prize is purely a popularity contest, and no accomplishments are required. Else, Obama couldn’t have won one.

Rick Perry doesn’t have the Cahunas, savvy, knowledge education or command of the English language president Obama has and would crash and burn by opening his mouth. Hannity and all the talking heads on FOX and other outlets need a “Rectal Enchephalectomies” prior to engaging their tongues. These Yahoos yell at their guests and deflect the real conversation when backed into a corner. Brush Himoff, Hannity and all the limited-minded FOX-hounds bad-mouthing and raising tangential issues are trying to smoke-screen Americans with unfounded lies and disrespectful commentary towards our first Black president! The narrow-minded, know-it-all’s do not know-it-all! These Yahoos should raise the heads out of the FOX hole and see the real world and not listen to the the prejudiced and bigoted Sen. Mitch McConnell, the bigoted Republican from Kentucky, the minority leader with the greatest cunning and sharpest knife, signaled his party’s true purpose last year when he proclaimed: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

You forgot to include with your Leftist rhetoric, the classic phrase: “capitalist, running dog, lackey? Contained within your “comment” are issues that I too am concerned with, however, “when you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, don’t you know that you can count me out.” Moreover, Plato once wrote about an artist, a sculptor who fashioned a statue of a perfect human being. However, when a real human being could not found meet the statues perfection, did that make the sculpture, any less compelling? What was Plato alluding too, or trying to say? Curiously, our Founding fathers fashioned the perfect form of government. Yet, in application, failings became evident in the that “perfect” governance. Do those faults render the Constitution any less compelling? Do we need to completely dismantle our Governmental treatise, or, is the foundation, our Constitution, enough to move forward with? CENTRAL, I don’t believe I’d want to follow you or your political compatriots anywhere… You are childish, even puerile in your revolutionary zeal.

NO COMMENT

You sure make a lot of assumptions about my politics. Funny how far to the right the conversation has shifted that you see anything left of Paul Ryan or Santorum as Marxist.    Not sure how you would argue against the fact that lobbyists and huge corporate money, accelerated by Citizens United, allows large corporations to essentially buy their own legislation and regulation.  

But if you want to call my simply pointing to a quantifiable fact an act of Revolution or somehow puerile, be my guest.  You will no doubt end up seeing the world around you filled with commies, 5th columnists and people who want to deny you your essence by fluoridating the water supply.  

Thank you Rajahaan.  The Constitution and Statutory Law, were written/created so as to give some degree of adaptation to the “zeit geist.”  I do not recall Dick Cheney having been indicted or convicted of any crime, do you?  Therefore, If we as a Nation determine that what the Cheny’s, Koslowski’s and Madoff’s etc. need is to have stiffer laws and penalties applied, then there are Legal devices and mechanisms to do such.

The people that would simply and capriciously change the law at their whim, are who I am deeply fearful of.  History is replete with examples of how dangerous such people can be.

Thank you again RAJ

Your use of hyperbolae diminishes your argument. 

 Moreover, I am NOT willing to substitute a historically flawed and evil form of Government: Socialism, for our Constitutional Republic.  If the American citizen’s desire change inspired by a person or group committing a crime, we arrest and prosecute them.  If, as of yet there is no codified crime on the books, so to speak, we follow the Law and create one.

 We also follow the concept of “ex post facto,”  meaning no prosecution for those crimes committed before the advent of the Law.Unfortunately for you, thats not how Lenin would do it, is it?  LOL

Purveyor

A metaphor?  I share a humorous metaphor with a like minded friend.  Apparently, such did cause you some distress during the course of your day?  LOL

Respectfully, let me know what you think about this: I have a thesis called “economic treason.” Defined as an act or behavior by a person or group, that threatens the economic and/or overall security of America. For instance, sending jobs out of the country for personal gain, at the expense of other Americans. So too, would bringing in lower paid workers to alter the economy and “level playing field” demanded by the American worker. When corporations make decisions, purely for profit, that threatens America’s security, they commit “economic treason?” ET, is only a theory, but, could be codified as social or criminal law? What are your thoughts? Purveyor “

Wow, your opinion differed from everyone else, including the people in the room who later claimed he “crashed” the meeting and they were unprepared for him. 

Still, I’m perplexed how could he “let Pelosi handle it” if she didn’t know what was in the bill?

Oh, mardec, you are probably unaware that Ryan’s own Medicare plan, he conceded, contained a mandate for coverage, much like the ACA.  Still, I mentioned three attempts to broker a deal with Republicans and you take issue with one (not good issu, mind you, but still).  Does that mean you concede the others?  If so, sine my reply was about negotiations with Republicans and you accept those existed, then perhaps you can acknowledge that he tried to negotiate with Republicans?

Then, again, perhaps not.

I asked who wrote it and you responded with “oooohhhooohhh, he said he liked that guy I hate and then later, when that guy embarrassed Obama, he decided he didn’t want him around, so that must mean he’s a liar for not knowing the future!”

Which is not a rebuttal to your main argument:  “The Prezydint is not as smart, because as a black guy he could not do the thingies he said he done, because black guys ain’t smart like Jack Cashill and me.”

You have a letter from law school and 20 years ago; I have an excellent speech he wrote three years ago.

Pablo, you’re a hater, as I established.  You dwaddle on peccadilloes and college transcripts and birth certificates, when all you have to do is hammer him on policy

6th grade grad huh

Actually, G, Obama’s transcripts are protected by annoying privacy laws like, yours,  well, scratch that, mine.

As for the writing, he did write two books, a 2004 barn-burner of a speech which catapulted him to the national stage, and several speeches since then.  You might have missed that, since Rush didn’t mention it, but, if you follow pablo’s spanking down-thread, you can follow the link to a fine speech

Way to miss the forest for trees, G

Unfortunately, he wasn’t one of your concerns from 2000 to 2008 either

“blockquote>allegedly President of the Law Review at Harvard

Conservative wrong again

The senate will be iffy, Valkyrie

If you’re your point is dissatisfaction about President Obama’s receipt of one, then make that argument, because the Nobel Peace Prize has a very long and illustrious history that outweighs commonplace triviality. 

There are some who would question Mother Theresa receiving one, but the Prize is made in the spirit and ideals of the award set by Alfred Nobel ;

‘one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses…’ 

My own guess would be to suggest President Obama’s efforts with Russia and Medvedev on the START Treaty for arms reduction. 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8298580.stm

The Nobel ideals are still a little more significant than a American Idol or X Factor populist vote. I doubt Arafat or Gore were popular choices, but again they received the Peace Prize in the context of the ideals.

Oh yes they do come dumber than Hannity.  They come much dumber.  See Liztown and Timb116.

The purpose of the tea party in the overall scheme of things is to divide the republican party, nominate un-electable tea party candidates, and lead a complete repudiation of the republican wins in 2010 by a populace that has grown tired of the tea party and their uncompromising ways.

I think that corporations are designed to do one thing – generate profit & profit growth quarter by quarter for their shareholders.  This isn’t a bad thing or a good thing legally or morally – Rather, it’s what they were designed and created to do.   I think that laws and regulation need to anticipate that corporations are not immoral but they are amoral.  There’s not a moral component factored in to a structure that is designed to quickly replace managers and executives that do not deliver profits.  

I think that across the board, regulation and anti-trust legislation must be set up and enforced  to keep monopolies from crushing competition; trade protections must be managed carefully to keep free trade balanced with the need to protect American jobs; and campaign finance laws must be reformed so that personal or corporate wealth cannot simply purchase the government it desires in a quest to magnify that wealth by gaming the system as opposed to risk and innovation.   

In my opinion, a hell of a lot of wealth over the past 25 years has resulted from gaming the system as opposed to innovation.   The 2000 repeal of Glass Steagall, authored by Phil Gramm but eagerly signed by Clinton (urged on by Rubin and Summers) did more than any other single act in recent memory to allow massive accumulation of wealth by financial instruments that do nothing to move capital into the marketplace to spur growth of industry. 

In short, I think Capitalism is a fantastic economic model – The best going.  But Capitalism without regulation and without laws that cannot simply be bought off is like football without refs.

Hope that answers your question, even if the answer is broader than the answer to the strict “economic treason” example you float.

Keep the “hope” alive and vote for Obama then, loser.

I can assure you he is 50 IQ points above Hannity.

Obama is hands down the dumbest guy on TV.

A better
question would be; is Hannity and the panel dumb? HERE IS WHY and the one and
only thing that made Ronald Reagan look very good as a President. Everyone
liked him when he was an actor. Anyone and Everyone can act DUMB; it doesn’t
take any real training or talent. but no one can act very much more intelligent
than he or she really is. To prove this, pick any very intelligent, talented
person, say; Terry Fator the famous Ventriloquist in Las Vegas, The average
person can’t judge Terry; they can only say if or not they liked his
performance. Now, for them to qualify as having the talent to judge President
Obama, they need to be more intelligent than President Obama before they
qualify to judge him, something like Musicians judge other new Musicians. You
just need to know more than the person you are judging. I think this makes sense,
do you? You only need to be a little more intelligent than me to say; Yes.

HANNITY: “You’re not listening, Susan. You’ve got to learn something. He had weapons of mass destruction. He promised to disclose them. And he didn’t do it. You would have let him go free; we decided to hold him accountable.” (4/13/04)

You are so brilliant Sean – endorse getting some more young kids killed for nothing you lying rodent! 

At what point during the Dick Cheney interview are you going to get down on your knees – you look like a teenage girl on prom night when you talk to this war criminal.

Again, a “critic” of the President who has invested heavily in the 3×5 card industry.  Are conservatives blinkered enough to believe politicians and leaders speak only extemporaneously?  Have none of you spoken in public before?  WTF is the conservative major malfunction with using a damn teleprompter rather than notes?

just a rambling sludge of unfocused anger….oh, and the Christian who hates the poor.  Can you find that in Bible, as well as, Danielson?  “It’s easier for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven.”

“F–k you, Commie,” screams Danielson as he fumes about garbage social justice plans.

Your heroes are never like you think you will be, eh, Danielson?

So, now you claim his mom was ugly?  Jesus, Pablo, how much lower can you sink?

Oops, a Pablo fail

have we seen yours?

Sarah Palin IS a quitter. 

Never worked a day in his life….another lie that refuses to die on this board of angry, talk show fans.

Sure, it was stupid and so is Pablo

Except, of course, getting into Harvard Law and getting on the Law Review, which, we recall, you believe the President accomplished through successive rounds of affirmative action.

Care to explain your racist argument again, Pabs?

wow, too bad elections are popularity contests, since Obama is a mastermind of them. 

don’t forget two books

because he’s already President.  Do you get that you already know who he is and apparently don’t like him?  You don’t have to bitch and moan about 25 year old transcripts, when you can whine about the stimulus.  he doesn’t need to apply for the job he already has

Don’t forget: got into harvard due to polictical connections and Yale too.  left the fighter pilot gig a tad early to run a political campaign. Spent the next years drunk and running businesses into the ground. 

Why, it’s an American success story!

Read his books or speeches.  By the way, nice handle.  Someone is a bit self-important

No, you weren’t

Don’t worry, we all know the only way a black dude can do anything is with affirmative action.  Thanks for helping out, rac, errr Republican

Sure takes away from the doctorate, Bush voter

Prove it, guy who couldn’t get into Harvard

yeah, he was a disaster when he handed the Republicans their lunch at their retreat during the healthcare debate. 

Do you even follow the news?

Clarence Thomas was right about white people. They are pretty much all racists who attribute any success an African-American has to affirmative action. 

Man, who knew that jackass was right about anything

especially racist comments like this one

FINALLY, a conservative who knows a valid argument when he sees one

I too place all my faith in the rich and how they will save us at any moment.  Please, Mr. Corporate plutocrat, come and save the America you’ve been screwing for the last 30 years.  now, that we elected Williard, you can finally spend.

My opinion differs from whose?  He was invited…they made a big deal out of this meeting before it took place saying Obama was going to meet with the Republicans.  They were prepared for him…he was NOT prepared for them.  It was televised and we all saw Paul Ryan bury Obama with facts and figures.  We even watched as the Democrat delegation walked out of the meeting when it was over and then walked over to the Capitol.

As for Pelosi, it is a well known fact which has been commented on time and time again that she was given control of getting the bill passed (undoubtedly because she did not trust him to push hard enough) and she strong-armed the house Democrats to vote for the healthcare bill even against their better judgement.  She twisted arms, made promises and threats that the Dems could not ignore, so they broke down and did as she demanded and voted for it.  It was these very well-known and public forcing through of that bill that made so many ordinary American so angry…even lifelong Democrats.  This is why the Republicans swept into so many offices in Nov. 2010. I cannot believe you are unaware of all that, or of her now famous quote, “We’ll have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.”

Here is the video…see for yourself.

This is the same Hannity who thought O’Donnell was going to win?  Talk about not that smart.

Just like his aunt and uncle, Barry Hussein is an illegal alien.

The 14 Defining Characteristics Of FascismFree
InquirySpring 20035-11-3

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler
(Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several
Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to
each:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes
tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and
other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing
and in public displays.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of
fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are
persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.”
The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary
executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
- The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to
eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious
minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are
widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of
government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military
service are glamorized.

5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to
be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender
roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed
and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family
institution.

6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is
directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media
is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media
spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very
common.

7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as
a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments
in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool
to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from
government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically
opposed
to the government’s policies or actions.

9. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and
business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put
the government leaders into power, creating a mutually
beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing
power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are
either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations
tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia.
It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even
arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under
fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws.
The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil
liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with
virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost
always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other
to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect
their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes
for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright
stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in
fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by
smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of
legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and
manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries
to manipulate or control elections.

They Thought They Were Free

By Milton Mayer

“Oneness keeps releasing fake records.  The last one used at least 5 different typewriters.”
LOL there really is no hope for you. You probably think the moon landing was fake, too.

And Obama’s choice of a preacher for 20 years wasthe  G_D damn America Rev. Wright.  But I digress, liberal ilk like Obama all agree, they too all hate America.

Thats OK, you now have your hero Bro Al to express your lucid views on PMSNBC.  Of course one has to take a course in ebonics, but even then his blather is incomprehensibel.

I hear they subjected Obama’s letter to the same standard as they did Sarah Palin’s emails.  But could not score it, as was below frrst grade level.  Christopher Hitchens said Obama’s letter could not be understood, for it was written in an unknown laguage

Luke Russert:

As Luke Russert reported on MSNBC:
RUSSERT: Tom Cole — former head of the NRCC, congressman from Oklahoma — said, “He scored many points. He did really well.” Barack
Obama, for an hour and a half, was able to refute every single
Republican talking point used against him on the major issues of the
day. In essence, it was almost like a debate where he was front and center for the majority of it. … One
Republican said to me, off the record, behind closed doors: “It was a
mistake that we allowed the cameras to roll like that. We should not
have done that.”

Check out blog reactions:  http://www.blogrunner.com/snapshot/D/0/2/obamas_question_time_an_amazing_moment/As for the last part, I was makig fun of you for saying he let Pelosi take control of the meeting with the Republicans and then said she didn’t know what was in the bill. The WH strategy of not committing Clinton’s mistakes with a top down approach was telegraphed and obvious

1) The last intelligent Republican President in 60 years hands down no contest Richard M. Nixon
2) Last 60 years Bill Clinton tied with Jimmy Carter (why does everyone forget he was a nuclear physicist) Obama tied with JFK for number 2 although JFK’s Choate grades and his entrance essay weren’t stellar he graduated Cum Laude from Harvard and wrote “While England Slept”. He also displayed heroism during WW2.

Actually I’m a liberal and have been to a ballet but, how pray tell to do you fill out a BALLET properly.

The only reason these conservative Wackos win is because so many people don’t vote. If all the young, and minorities voted say good by to teabagger nut jobs

Very thoughtful and well written. Thank you. However, I do wish you would have mentioned “economic treason,” specifically, but, I think you can see you and I are on the same page, so to speak.

As you point out, the “amoral” tendency of Capitalism coupled with lassaiz faire can create a monster that tends to NOT be considerate of the human element in the equation. Ergo, “economic treason” as a philosophic approach or mechanism, that urges the uncaring, monolith of big business to consider National Security as part of the formula. Hence, the concomitant result would be a bit more humanistic.

As the thesis stands, is only a philosophy, and I am reluctant to propose any sort of codification/Law, but, as a teaching tool, or, as the Libertarian Philosopher, John Stuart Mill would suggest, society would be charged with humiliating the perpetrator, thus achieving the desired result? Simply put, I am proposing a back door method to creating moral inclination in business? Ouch!

Purveyor

“Pictures of Chairman Mao, don’t you know that you can count me out”  

Do you recognize the origin? The Beatles White Album, “Revolution”

OK, I’ve have seen variations on this theme.  Now, with appropriate respect, what is your point?  Are you leaving it to the reader to connect the dots, or, will you, at least, initiate such?

Are you suggesting that the 4th of July is Fascism, or, that Stalinist Communism and its permutations share some aspects of fascism?  Or, did you have a sudden urge to flex your intellect?  How about a nice game of chess?  White, e4, your move…

Purveyor

What point are you trying to make?

Mediaite has been acting odd this evening, so, I am only now able to respond, although I don’t know why I even bother?  Your argumentation technique is weak at best, in fact I suspect you are not even aware you used one?

“Arguing by special pleading” (stacking the deck)  Ergo, using arguments to support your position but disallowing arguments against.  Don’t forget wise guy, history has a way of making a fool out of people such as yourself.  Turns out “Tail Gunner Joe” McCarthy, was right, The FDR administration and the State Department, after WWII was chocked full of Communists!  Alger Hiss, was a Communist and lets not fort David Greenglass, the Greenbergs and Klaus Fuchs?

So YES, I will continue to wonder with proper concern about the honor and character of our President, as he has not been forthcoming.  Moreover, that such does not bother you, tells me volumes about your integrity.

Purveyor of Rhetoric

I would suggest you can’t read that and think of Teabaggers and the GOP. From the book Friendly Fascism  “fascism will come wrapped in a flag holding a cross” remind you of anybody.

                                     correction
I would suggest you can’t read that and NOT think of Teabaggers and the GOP.
From the book Friendly Fascism  “fascism will come wrapped in a flag
holding a cross” remind you of anybody.

Judging from your use of the pejorative “Tea Baggers,”  I guess you are attempting to construe the Tea Party as religious Fascists?  I reject the analogy as the Tea Party, of which I am a member, has exhibited none of the overt behavior peculiar to “fascists.”

Conversely, overt promulgation of political ideology and causes has been typified by the fascist Left.  You know as well as I do that I can vey easily make that case, Comrade?  

Again, I find myself confused.  I’ve read many of your Posts “Snake” and I am unclear as to your inference?

Purveyor

Nobody knows if President Obama is academically gifted or not, measurably intelligent or not, because his academic records and test scores have never been released.  As for being president of the Harvard Law Review – or a Nobel Laureate, for that matter – those “honors” have nothing to do with academic achievement.  Those are gifts from supporters, not earned honors.  About the only skill President Obama has demonstrated is the ability to read a teleprompter.

Oooo, you evil racist, how impudent of you to draw conclusions based on facts and reasoning!

SNIDELY, I have no doubt that were the Left to acquire just a wee bit more power and strength, the dissemination of opposing ideas and philosophy would be all but stifled.

Thats what Lenin would do, thats what he did!

Purveyor/  Oh yes, nice post, thanks.

The President has not been “forthcoming” in writing two books and having the opposition researchers from McCain and Clinton look into his past over a 2 year period of time.  No, what we need to know about whether your Boomer a$$ hates the President or just despises him is what he received in Tort I.

It would, after all, be irresponsible not to speculate on bullcrap which doesn’t matter.  Hey, McCarthy-ite, remember back when President Clinton was trying to be all Presidential and all and you guys were fascinated with his penis, while he was trying to kill bin Laden?  How did that “honor” bs work then?

Strange how you fascination with honor and character skips a President when he’s of your preffered party.

PS McCarthy was as wrong as you are.  Did you ever see the list or did you just read Ann Coulter’s book?  Either way to me, since both were fiction

“Our first Black [P]resident?” {sic}  Obama is HALF White, yet you and other Socialist-Leftist’s insist on referring to the man as “Black,” why?  ”Tell the lie often enough, it becomes true?”  Furthermore, I suggest you and your co-Leftist insurgents are true racists!  By using a word or words you attempt to eliminate the White Race?

You are bad men, very bad men indeed!   LOL

Purveyor

supporters?  He had supporters on the Harvard Law Review?  Wow, it’s amazing he was able to pack the room with “supporters.”  Much like the way he packed Norway with libs who would give him a Peace Prize.  Don’t worry, one fo your friends tried to fix that Norway problem a few weeks ago

Sorry.  I was educated  before the high schools in Louisiana were destroyed by integration and PC, and never learned that you have to cut someone slack because he is of the favored race.  I am further handicapped by having received teaching at an institution of higher learning run by the Southern Baptist Convention.  They had the temerity to teach critical thinking.

Notice how only a certain kind pf person uses the word ebonics?

HAH, mardec uses CNSnews, a network even Fox laughs at.  Can you quote form the Moonie Times next, Mardec?

I hope he believes it, since, you know, he’s not a puppet of his preacher.  Why do you think you got the full flavor of Wright in less than a minute of clipped audio provided by Republican oppo researchers?

Are you that dense?  Although, I will admit to loving the irony of conservatives judging pastors by outrageous statements and still welcoming the Hagees, Dobson, Bachmanns, Falwells, Robertsons, et al to the party

The whole country heard how a desperately angry mob of all-white voters hopped on Koch money decided to put morons in the House of Representatives.  Would be hard to miss given the damage to the nation they have sense accomplished.  you know, like opposing tax cuts for the middle class and by opposing any policy which might us, since that might help the President. 

We’re all hostages to a Republican power grab

Mardec, i didn’t blame Republicans; I blamed conservatives

And his admission to Ivy League school, authorship of his books and speeches, etc.  Oh, and his word

It is, they just agree

has Pablo seen it?

I’ve seen the “coprs” of the Republican Party, shuffling along and pretending it isn’t a zombie.  No worries, Pablo, we’ll put you out of your misery by 2016 at the latest.

I hate the all caps, but when you have a point, you have a point

You could have respond: “point taken.”

Unfortunately, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and engaged you in a semblance of dialogue.  As I suspected, “I don’t know why I even bother.”  

Yes, I read Coulter’s book, “Treason.”  Also, I read the Mitrokhin Diaries, The Venona Papers and a little Solzhenitsyn for good measure.  However, I am reasonably sure you will argue that Klaus Fuchs and David Greenglass were innocent and persecuted by the FBI, am I right? LOL  

As for Obama’s books, or, memoirs: How is it that there are biographies/memoirs about a man before he had even entered the realm of notoriety?  Most credible scholars, (me) would call such, propaganda.

Purveyor

If you’re gonna quote JD and his paranoia, invite him out to play.  I would love to embarrass him as much as I have embarrassed you over the last few weeks.  I knew you couldn’t argue when you had to step out behind your dad’s skirt.

SNIDELY,

I am having trouble forwarding letters from my E-mail to the the Scroll.  So, this letter may be a duplicate.

Anyway, I moved to Mississippi two years ago from Colorado.  Are we neighbors?  Do you go to Gun Shows?  Everyone who is anyone goes to Gun Shows down here…LOL

Another racist argument!  Yay, Dflojak.  You’re the 50th white guy to claim this today and that entitles you to a special gift at David Duke’s “Blacks are coming to get us Emporium.”  Please call and redeem your gift today.

The racism Thomas sees is the racism expressed on this board.

When he recently received an honorary doctorate from the Stetson
University College of Law, in Gulfport, Florida, he said, “Thank you for
a law degree that I can put up on my wall.” The audience greeted the
remark with polite laughter, but Thomas’s sentiment has a long history.
Thomas graduated from Yale Law School in 1974, and he maintains a rich
and public loathing for the institution. In his autobiography, published
in 2007, he wrote, “As a symbol of my disillusionment, I peeled a
fifteen-cent sticker off a package of cigars and stuck it on the frame
of my law degree to remind myself of the mistake I’d made by going to
Yale. I never did change my mind about its value.” Thomas has refused
entreaties from a series of deans at Yale to sit for a portrait for the
school. (His law-school travels never take him to Yale or to comparable
institutions. “I don’t do Ivies,” he told a law professor.)
The
gist of Thomas’s complaint about Yale reflects his feelings about the
worth of affirmative action generally. In his book, Thomas recounts his
difficulties finding a job after Yale, which he attributed to “what a
law degree from Yale was worth when it bore the taint of racial
preference.” In light of this, he wrote, “Yale meant one thing for white
graduates and another for blacks, no matter how much anyone denied it.”
This hostility to élite institutions manifested itself at Stetson…

Thomas should have stopped hanging out with Republicans and he would have discovered a world where merit does matter.

Well, your training in analyzing legal analysis is….oh, yeah, non-existent

I would respond, but I’m still doubled over in laughter at your joke!

I had no idea you were so clever.  Calling yourself a “scholar” after admitting reading Coulter’s “book”!  Your sense of sarcasm is truly finely honed and this is by far the best joke on the entire thread

Louisiana.  I graduated from William Carey College in Hattiesburg, though.  I post as Snidely in the politics section of New Orleans Craigslist.  There are decent gun shows in Slidell, Jefferson and Gonzales. Mostly I play with paintball markers.

The Nobel Committee is packed with European Socialists.  I have no opinion about the Law Review, but Lawrence Tribe is a professor there.

Why don’t you come on back to our discussion you ignorant little man.  I was hardly done showing you for the ignorant person that you are. You ran like a little chicken sh*t little child.  Did you read those books I suggested?

“TMP”

Being admitted to Harvard is no big deal.  Showing his transcripts is a big deal.

The Nobel prize was awarded for nothing more than political reasons to the first Black President. Hell even Al Gore got one for his lies. I’ve heard that the next one is going to Lady GaGa for dressing up as a man at an awards ceremony.

“TMP”

Nah, I didn’t read the Bircher books you suggested which contradict the tapes AND recent scholarship.

I played your game for long enough and I got done humoring you.  It’s funny that I never realized a BA in History made one an expert, but it makes me look like a giant next to your wingnut understanding of, well, anything

By the way, since you STILL don’t know what the legal challenges to War on Terror, dahlia Lithwick has a great article on Cheney in today’s Slate.  You should read it instead of Birchers

http://www.slate.com/id/2302751/

Being admitted to one of the Top 5 law schools in the country is “no big deal” says a guy who knows less about the law than apparently anything else in the world.

“Being admitted to Harvard is no big deal.”  I just keep reading it over and over again

Check it out

http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/stats.php?school=harvard

Median LSAT score in the country is 151.  Harvard accepts people in the top 1% of applicants.
but

“Being admitted to Harvard is no big deal.” HAHAHAHA. You are truly uneducated

IMO, it’s stupid, not smart, to even consider whether or not Obama, Bac hman, Palin, Perry, etc are smart.  They are smart.  It’s not their intelligence we need to be concerned with, but with the philosphy guiding the use of that intelligence.

So you have chosen to stay ignorant. I’m not surprised and calling the books that you yourself recommended as sources for your proof and lies are now considered “Bircher” is laughable.

Again you show your ignorance as everyone has now seen through your leftist dribble.

You really are that stupid.

“TMP”

It’s not. All it takes is money and political pull. Lets see his transcripts and Thesis papers if he’s such a genius. What’s he hiding?????????

What’s he hiding?????? If everyone at Harvard are the top 1% of the nations cream of the crop, lets see his grades and papers.

More crap from an ignorant boob.

LMAO

“TMP”

All it takes is money and political influence. A simple recommendation from a high ranking mentor or just Affirmative Action.

What’s he hiding????? He’s the President of the United States, the people have a right to see his transcripts, Term papers, and writings.

What’s he hiding???????? What’s so damaging that he has to hide it.?????????

If he’s the top 1% of geniuses what does he have to hide??????

You’re the stupidest moron I’m met in months. It’s expected, you’re a leftist idiot. The guy who says that FDR wasn’t involved in WWII is now calling me uneducated. FOMCLMAO. You didn’t answer any of my questions in that discussion but you ran away like a little baby.

Stay stupid. It keeps you comfortable in your ignorant life.

“TMP”

Same idiots with broken talking points…just different sets of initials. Any relation to john doe? mtclayboy? and the other cockroaches who run when the lights come on?

Not really…. just as President of the USA…..

Depends on how tall his ladder is, and who is holding it up…

I want to see Obama’s SAT and LSAT scores. If he’s such a brilliant man, why are they more secure than the nuclear codes?

Tucker was right here. Intelligence is the very first thing liberals attack if you disagree with them. Then your moral character. Even the dumb, immoral ones do this.

It’s an elected position. He was a compromise choice. Obama has been affirmative-actioned all the way to the POTUS. Wanna prove me wrong? Join me in calling for Obama to allow the release of his SAT and LSAT scores.

is that all the right wingnuts have: he mispronounced “corp” ..didnt that happen 2 years ago?…if that makes Obama “dumb” Bush was a retard…lololol

Perry is too hung up on himself

The 14 Defining Characteristics Of FascismFreeInquirySpring 20035-11-3       Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler    (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several    Latin American regimes.

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes    tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. – (this is a no brainer look at any tea party/GOP rally)    2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of    fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summaryexecutions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. – ( waterboarding, Bush’s anti-terrorist laws)    3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause    – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.(demonization of illegals, Muslims, and anyone that would consider helping the poor)    4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are    widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and militaryservice are glamorized. (Cut social security, medicaid, medicare, EPA, FDA, DOE, but keep your hands off military spending)    5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to    be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.( nothing really needs to be said here it’s one the rights primary focus and the primary focus of the new H.O.R.)    6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is    directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. (FOX “NEWS”)    7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as    a motivational tool by the government over the masses.( again illegals, terrorist, lefty commies, Obama’s not an American)    8.

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations    tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked. (“Elitist Intellectuals”, Science is bad, Education is unimportant)    12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under    fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force withvirtually unlimited power in fascist nations. (TSA, Guantanam, rendition, miltary tribunals rather than criminal court)    13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. (BUSH)    14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in    fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of    legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.( Florida, smear Acorn, NPR, any organization trying to get poor and minorities out to vote)    They Thought They Were Free    By Milton Mayer

It would be really nice for a change if you could post something that actually made some sense.  When will you guys learn that name-calling doesn’t persuade anyone?  I could name call right back at ya…but it’s not worth my time to communicate with anyone who cannot think without using vile attack words. 

Oh wait…I forgot,…you’re a Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Communist Democrat.  That’s all you’ve got….no answers, no plans to save the economy, no knowledge of how to get the unemployment rate from tanking even more….no nothing.

And you use for your sources MessNBC, Huf Poopoo, and dumbass liberal bloggers who sit in their cellars until mommy brings them a beer, making up all sorts of bullshit pretending it’s news. 

At least CNS is a legitimate news source with stories that cannot be refuted.  So instead of trying to come up with some facts that prove CNS wrong, which you cannot because it IS fact, you try to make fun of them.  Doesn’t work, does it?

Uh, dude, you name call all the time.  Who the hell have you persuaded?

Secondly, I/we do have plans and history has shown they work. Hell, the CBO says the stimulus is STILL working http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/budget/178109-cbo-finds-2009-stimulus-still-benefiting-economy and GM went public after we saved them.  Having said ideas in the face of “our most important goal is to make sure Barrack Obama is a one term President” Party is, sadly, not enough.

Did you know Republicans favor raising taxes on the working poor and middle class, because they oppose anything that might help the economy?  Didn’t Rush tell you that mardec?

In the end, I liked the pouty “I ain’t gonna tlak to you no more” Mardec over the “I don’t understand what I read Mardec,” sinceI was hoping the former would leave me alone

And how does that affect your ability to answer the question?  I asked a simple philosophical question. Why can’t you answer it?

How about a nice game of chess?

I’ll open W-e4.  Of course I am assuming you know that white opens.  Do you play “en passant?”  I do.

Of course you would open with a boring king’s pawn opening.  I prefer opening with Queen’s Gambit.  When black, I prefer the Queens Indian defense.

Do you really think you are the only person in the world who knows how to play chess and that makes you a superman? 

Quite simply, I have reaffirmed what I already suspected.  You, TIMB116, are very insecure.  You supplant intellect with a quip and hop others find you funny, hence intelligent?

Hmm, you know, you could walk along a darkened north wood peer some night, pointing out to your girl the constellations, polaris, the moon etc, and a curious old man might step up behind you and mention a thing or two about star gazing.

You would get irritated and brush him off and away.  Who knows, that man could be the Spirit of Copernicus or Galileo and you’d never know it.  You’d be busy forming a snotty retort…

Opening with the Queens gambit is a losing strategy against the center board defense. The center board defense thwarts the Queens Gambit as it restricts the movement of the Queen throughout game and sets up for control of the board.

I’m more inclined to use the Quiet Defense or (Giuoco Piano). Philidor explained the importance of the Pawn when it comes to setting up the middle game in Chess. “pawns are the soul of chess.” Openings are important in controlling the pace of the game and transitions into other strategies of the game.

This entire Fast & Furious Guns looks like Obama & Holders Watergate Cover Up,as there are now 11 Murders Directly Traced to Missing Fast & Furious Guns,of which include 6 in Arizona and the two AK-47s used to kill a US Border Patrol Agent! So, both Barack Hussein Obama and Eric Holder and ATF Director also need to resign or be Impeached and Charged with Murders! …
 And I ask California GOP Congressman Issa and US Senator Grassley why have they failed to Bring Impeachment Charges Against Obama.Holder & Melson? Speak Up Issa & Grassley and do it or RESIGN From Congress Yourselves! The American People Demand Fast & Furious Justice for Obama,Holder & Melson here and now! And Action Not Silence From Issa & Grassley!
As always you can contact me at work http://www.westmichiganbusinessreview.com.com and yes keep those jokes coming. Hey is Al Gore still saving the planet from Global Warming by circling it in his private jet?
I never said globlal warming  wasn’t real,  just not man made. Nasa science confirms carbon’s not an issue so go educate yourself.
The only time the president is the smartest guy in the room is when he is in the restroom.

This is the funniest over-reaction to incompetence at lower levels and tragedy since Waco. 

Dudes like Art have been hoping for years they could something to commit their little coup.  That they are hanging their hat on this is both sad and pathetic. 

birth certificate too

and, he uses a teleprompter!

Do you understand there is a difference between Harvard and Harvard Law school?  ‘Cause with your blathering about recommendations from high school teachers, high school GPA’s, etc, I think not.

Here’s a clue, so there, drop this and run away.  You have no idea what it takes to apply to law school, what an LSAT is, etc. 

Although, I will giggle at two things:  first, that the young, pre-Law School Obama had “all it takes is money.”  The one thing Obama did not have was money.

And, secondly, the assumption that he needed affirmative action, which is pretty much a racist assumption.

BEAUTIFUL.  ladies and gentleman, you know what caused education in Louisiana to tank (like ti was ever any good?):  integration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, yet another Southerner is unmasked for what he is

I never mentioned high school teachers, high school GPA’s, etc. You’re a liar and an idiot. I know all about LSAT and SAT’s.

How did he afford school. He had no money. Don’t try to play that “racist” crap on me. Your’re an ignorant fool and this post is another bit of proof of that.

Why are you against Obama showing his entrance information and grades.

OBTW, my son passed the LSAT requirements you stupid little man. He decided to go the Engineering route instead of the Lawyer route.

“TMP”

You’re an idiot “Timmuh”. Do you want me to send you a copy of the “Law School Admissions Test” and yes they do take into consideration all your education when they consider acceptance in Harvard Law.

Been through it with my son you moron.

You’re an ignorant little man. Do you want me to send you a copy of the Harvard LSAT?

Take a hike you’re boring me to hell with your ignorance.

“TMP”

 And you are how old?  You had first hand experience with the public school system before they were integrated?  My guess is that you do not know whereof you speak.  I am 66, and attended private, parochial and public schools before integration, and my kids attended after.  I saw the whole sorry mess in person, first hand.  The public schools’ raison d’etre ceased being to educate the children attending them, and became to change society, and integration became the be all, end all.  Those who had the wherewithal to escape the  public schools did so, and those that did not were bussed so as to achieve integration, without regard to educational outcome. 
As for disdaining someone for the color of his skin, I served in Vietnam with a lot of men of every shade and ethnicity.  I evaluate every man for what he is and what he does.  It is the Left who evaluate people by externals.  President Obama is the first person I ever heard of who received the Nobel Peace Prize for being elected president of the USA, before he did anything in office

Uh, whatever, George Wallace.

Speaking of impeached why wasn’t George “IDIOT” Bush for outing a spy that is treason so he should of been tried and EXECUTED. While were at it Ronald “Star Wars” Reagan he traded arms for hostages in Iran OUR ENEMY then traded Arms for Cocaine to support the contras these drugs were sold on the streets of the U.S. making him a dope dealer. The best GOP President in 50 years was Nixon and that says a lot.

“With Texas Governor Rick Perry’s college grades out in the open…”

Obi-Wrong Baracki’s are still safely hidden away. For unexplained reasons he didn’t want any of that stuff seen–& the lamestream media were just fine with that, since they’d evidently decided on him as their candidate & planned to see him elected. So far they’ve maintained a distinct lack of curiosity about his records, too.

maybe u should take the time to study how those jobs in texas came to be…texas has always been a low tax low service state…perry just happened to be governor when the jobs came about….hint….illegal immigrants…oil…its very easy to look up
unemployment is high in texas and most jobs are at or below poverty level…nothing to brag about…especially when texas has a 27 billion dollar problem…look up perry’s record on how he doles out the states money….he gave $8.5 million to caterpillar to locate in texas AFTER they already decided to build there…
perry is bragging about texas jobs but the whole truth will come out and it will be his downfall…

LOL TEXAS A&M IS A TERRIBLE SCHOOL 

Dumb enough to be elected president and graduate from Havard Law school  top of his class to only mention a few.  I would like to be that kind of dumb.
