And what attacks would those be? The fact that you continue to use personal insults for virtually every post you make is only further evidence of the completely vacuous nature of your opinions.

Have a nice day.

No, you just said she has a brow like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s, and looks like she’s on steroids, and trotted out the pathetic canard ‘I’m acting like a lib so it’s okay.’ You never used the word slut.

Your rationalization of the attacks on Palin’s children is absolute bullshit. You may not have noticed but politicians of all stripes use cheerful shots of their family and children for public relations. Perhaps you noticed a shot Oliver posted a short time back of Obama and his two cute little daughters frolicking on a lawn with thier new family pet. Are you under some sort of delusion that Ollie snapped that shot himself? It’s a typical soft sell pr pic.

You are shallow and intellectually dishonest. Those are your good qualities.

The Obamas have successfully prevented their two very young daughters from being the target of hateful, spiteful comments like these. You may not care for the First Lady, but suggesting she is ‘slutty’ in looks or behavior is so clearly unwarranted as to make such suggestions utter rubbish.

The Palins on the other hand, used and exploited their brood with all the delicacy of a Madison Avenue Big Oil campaign; they were EVERYWHERE during the campaign despite the obvious fact they were far short of the picture perfect, family values, GOP poster clan they claimed.

You certainly don’t need to ‘stoop’ to any level or tactic you claim the Left employs. You’re already wallowing down in the muck with the likes of Palin, Limbaugh, Hannity and O’Reilly who talk a good game, but when the going gets rough, they get going; unfortunately, they keep coming back.

Well, considering Trudeau didn’t sell out his country or break numerous laws in a paranoid, delusional state of fear, which one would you have preferred to run a Western nation?

For some reason, AO, I have too much faith in my ability to help you distinguish apples from orangutans. I can’t explain this fatal hubris and yet I must live with it.

At the time of your initial query, I posted my direct reply with an addendum: Before you protest that Mr. Letterman’s behavior obviates all boundaries of civility, please name those who defend his jokes.

For…I dunno, seems like the last thirty years or so…you and Dennis and Mr. Tea have tried to reshape this simple challenge into something you can manage. Yet with my hair-splitting, goalpost-shifting wiles, I keep insisting that my challenge is exactly and only what I made it: name the rascals who defend such jokes.

Dennis labored mightily and showed us comments that scoffed at overwrought and inflated outrage; that doubted the predicted collapse of Mr. Letterman’s career; that suggested Ms. Palin was inflaming the controversy for her own purposes; and that pointed out the rather public sexual history of the eldest of the Palin daughters; and one by Mr. Brown who has yet to mount even a pretense of concern for civility. Yet not one in which the commenter says, in any form, “There was nothing wrong with Letterman’s jokes. Palin’s family deserves such treatment.”

Really, the challenge I laid out…gosh, seems like it was in an earlier geological epoch…hasn’t changed an atom. No hair splittery. No goalpost movery. Just give us a name and we’ll say, “Bad! Bad liberal! No latte for you!”

And yet after endless days of your tedious hectoring, you have still neglected to name a single person who said Mr. Letterman’s jokes were appropriately made. Anyone fool enough to say so would contradict Letterman himself.

Taunting, AO? Is this all that remains of this tedious contretemps?

I’ll tell you what has not been undermined: my answer to your (your?) initial question: When is it OK to make fun of the Obama family?

Still never, friend.

It doesn’t.

Please refer back to my initial post to regain your bearings.

Bush will always get a hero’s welcome from those adoring acolytes who consider him a great President and a great human being, despite the obvious fact that he’s neither.

There are still those who support Nixon, but I wouldn’t waste a minute of my time trying to determine why.

Dumbya, but he’s gone.

Thunderous applause greets former President George W. Bush on July 4

Actually, it does. It makes the sexual harassment laws he signed far, far more applicable.

I believe that would be considered a pyrrhic victory…

Experience in quitting isn’t a stellar resume addition.

Sarah Palin: Half-term governor who quit because she’s crazy or a scandal is about to drop.

I think we can extrapolate what the future of the Dem and Republican parties look like, at least a little bit, from these two figures.

But please wing-nuts, let’s keep talking about Bill Clinton. Because that’s how you’re going to save your party from annihilation.
