Thanks. And the respect is mutual.

"Agree to disagree" is so weak.

I propose we make this thread a stickie.

Response A): Nice rant. Feel better now? Yes? Good. Merry Christmas, In_Seoul_2003.

Response B): Somewhere in that confused muddle must lie a succinct, intelligible, non-rhetorical question directed at me. But I will be damned if I can find it.

Nothing that happened to Sarah Palin in the last election falls outside the pale of American political discourse as it has been practiced in the last 225 years. If that slugfest has continued beyond the election season, chalk it up to the public's continuing interest in her and her inability to shut up and fade away.

I'm sorry, did I hear someone here register an implied opinion that the turkey news footage was dirty pool? Really, oh my god, that person must be as tone deaf as Sarah Palin herself, she who didn't get the fundamental disconnect between a news fluff piece on pardoning a turkey, only to have the rest of the interview take place against the backdrop of non-pardoned turkeys being slaughtered. That really didn't seem like a bad PR move to her? And that really didn't seem stupid to her partisans?

And, I'm a hopelessly intolerant piece of shit, in part responsible for whoever burned down her church, because I get this and you don't. Okay, fine. If you need to ascribe blame to me, I'll accept it, because you are clearly hopelessly incapable of understanding the concept of "blame."

If people hate her (and I don't - I just hated the idea of her being within a heartbeat of the presidency), that hatred is in large part the result of her views and tactics, which means that she also bears some responsibility for the crap that came her way.

That said, arson is always wrong, and if it turns out that the person who hated her church is a left-wing nutjob, I'll condemn that person no less vehemently than if it turns out the person who burned down her church considered her to be the *beep* of Babylon, riding the beast of the acapolypse.

But I won't speculate about who (specifically) is to blame, and therefore won't wildly fantasize (broadly) about the greater implications of such an act that may indeed have nothing at all to do with that horribly vapid t**t's clueless temerity in thinking she might be of some service to her party in this last election.

Daskalos: be careful not to strawman me here; I disagree with a host of issues you raised and asked for confirmation of. I cannot stand the right-for-life mob. And I voted against Prop 8, too -- just to clarify my own politics.

I join you in condemning the intolerant far left for their childish and purist reaction to R. Warren, too. So far B. Obama is doing an outstanding job brining almost everyone but the far left and the far right into the fold.

All of this nothwithstanding, people still need to relax re: S. Palin. If you disagree with her, ridiculing her, shaming her, and inciting the far left's more mentally unstable section to burn her hometown church down, is not the most, let us say, Obama-like way, to bring her around and show her new perspectives...
