    Obama said in an interview with ABC News, "At a certain point I've just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married."

    Good for him!

    He has a MAJOR problem with reading comprehension. He interprets posts to say what he wants them to say rather than what they do say. He did it with me right through the 'Israel' threads here. Mind you, he's not the only one of his little clique to do it.

    I remember seeing that on CNN, however it seems to have been put on the back burner during this election campaign.

    I really have to stop wasting my time responding to him. The constant barrage of vitriol laced with misrepresentations, lies and insults gets a little tiring after awhile.

    It's best to mostly ignore him. It's very difficult to stay silent when you've been deliberately misquoted by someone like him but really...apart from his little 'gang', most people see through him.

    More humor. I call out your misquote as follows:
    And instead of providing me the a linked quote where I wrote what you claim I wrote, you respond with:
    Just like the previous quote where you spouted off some ignorant nonsense about the causes of American support for Israel, you have absolutely nothing to say about the baseless charge you made above, coupled with an insult I might add. And yet in the same post, you have the sack to claim it is me misquoting you. Feeble is right.

    I would press you on it but you would probably spend the next three pages of posts hiding behind nuance and running away from the conversation as usual. When it was all said and done, you would retreat to pladecalvo for validation, support, and a declaration of victory. Funny but far to repetitive and predictable.

    Besides, I sense your self esteem desperately needs the boost it gets from what you think are intelligent and cleverly nuanced jibes. "Those unrefined heathens, how can they not support gay marriage. How can they support those terrorists in Israel?".

    Whatever it is, whether your wife left you for someone less boring or the government found your research didn't merit a grant or everyone at the university teases you, one trick I hear really helps is getting an animal you can dominate. Just put it in its place everytime you are feeling low and you won't even need pladecalvo to stroke your feathers. Better than keeping it in.

    One of my neighbors in Central America was a tightly wound PHD ornithologist, who kept it all in. Ended up shoting his wife and himself. Not good.

    Good job man. Stroke his feathers. He needs that.

    Now you are just rambling like a fool and attempting to get personal, which is kind of funny considering your general lack of perception. I've tolerated enough of your drivel in the couple of weeks I've been here, so now it is my turn.

    I expect that a coward like yourself won't be able to handle receiving a return volley of your own crap but that is what makes it so enjoyable. Let's see:
    - You are a Republican
    - You are a card carrying member of the tea party
    - You think that Sarah Palin is a goddess and try to emulate her in every way you can
    - You are an evangelical Christian and you are willing to beat the crap out of anyone who won't accept the love of Jesus
    - You are unemployed and only marginally employable
    - You live on welfare and collect food stamps but all that is Obama's fault
    - You actually think your stupid user name is clever

    There are other forums, there is no need to endure one of the hillbillies from Deliverance . .. . audios chucklehead

    Gee, you nailed it, but then again, that could well describe any American who supports Israel, or doesn't support gay marriage, or doesn't think our schools are busily teaching intelligent design. Right? You have skills my friend.

    Well, I'm off to pick up my food stamps before the Klan rally gets under way. I hear Sarah Palin is going to be speaking tonight on the evils of education, homosexuals, black people! God she is hot. Did I mention its book burning night?
