Yatta, yatta, yatta. What happened to the issue? What happened to the subject? If you don't see a respectful, adulatory proper bowing and scraping before Obama kind of comment you . . . just what is it you are doing, Phil -- certainly not doing the "rational" thing by providing a "rational" response? Let me help you. Here's one: "No, Ayers didn't help launch Obama's career, and here's the proof . . . " Can you say that? Here's another, "No, Obama never talks to Ayers about ideas, and here's the proof." Can you say that? No, you can't do that. The Leftist Press has spoken and it is the Word of your god! So what I am doing is blasphemy: violent, unhealthy, and far more destructive to democracy than putting a man in the White House who had a mentor and career launcher who once wanted to blow up that White House. What you are doing is like swearing, Phil. Did you realize that? If you have no argument, all you, if you are angry enough, can do is curse. But you don't curse; so you construct your equivalent of cursing and write "your comments were neither appropriate nor rational. Your violent rhetoric is not healthy, personally and politically. This rhetoric is far more destructive for a democracy than any bomb." Gosh and golly gee Willikers I guess I went off and got so disgusted at the irrationality of the Leftist position - a position that would go to any lengths to protect its anointed including ignoring an issue like the Ayers association while at the same time swallowing whole and broadcasting to the world a really scurrilous (put in all your cursing adjectives) lie against Palin. And it is now advertised and well known that the Leftist Press has gone to Alaska looking for dirt against Palin. . . Golly willikers all you rational, what's wrong with the dirt right there in your Illinois home town. Don't the people have a right to know?

Sorry, Lawrence, but your comments were neither appropriate nor rational. Your violent rhetoric is not healthy, personally and politically. This rhetoric is far more destructive for a democracy than any bomb.
