“It would seem that cosmos, who is perhaps a repackaged Carl Sagan, thinks the Huffington Post is a reliable source for Conservative upon Conservative critique.”

It seems that American’s argument that David Brooks, Ross Douthat, and Richard Cohen are not conservative columnists is attacking the Huffington Post and me.

Mr. Scholfield,

Please validate your blog article with some sources of “Conservative” columnists that you are referring to.

Thanks!

And why would he want to?

All those conservative columnists, and Randy can’t name one of them!

‘Top Republican says Palin unready‘
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7623771.stm
‘Stop the nonsense‘

“I think it’s a stretch to, in any way, to say that she’s got the experience to be president of the United States,” Mr Hagel told the Omaha World-Herald newspaper.
…
Mr Hagel also criticised the McCain campaign for its suggestion that the proximity of Alaska to Russia gave Mrs Palin foreign policy experience.

“I think they ought to be just honest about it and stop the nonsense about, ‘I look out my window and I see Russia and so therefore I know something about Russia’,” he said.

“That kind of thing is insulting to the American people.”
———-

I’d add that it makes the our political process appear to be a stupid joke to everyone outside of the U.S..

IIRC, the Russian island that can be seen from a small Alaskan island is uninhabited.

I remember reading that some of your friend cons had to drop you at the disabled entrance when some of you joined up to go to the Kansas con primary.

Well this means that you are getting on in years. And if you have taught your kids as you show yourself here?

They are not gonna be there for you. They’ll be waiting for you to die.

Like you are hoping McCain will die and give you President Palin?

But I digress. SOON, I hope very soon, you will find yourself in the tender care of poorly paid nursing home attendants. I hope they are kind to you.

I wouldn’t count on it.

No you are a nasty old woman who chains her workers to her every need with cell phones.

So you have control of them even when they are not on the clock?

As to all day blogging, that’s YOUR priviledge not mine.

“You are just too ridiculous for words. Pathetic dimwit. And I hit you with strong arguments …..”

And yet you seem OBSESSED with following me around and calling me names.

You even refer to me in long blocks of time when I am not posting.

I work for a living okobserver. YOU work others for a living. And that game has worked well enough for you to “earn” you the right to obsess on me.

Hey keep it while you can. It’s all you’ve got.

“BJ Sarah Palin is so far ahead of you intelectually that you aren’t capable of understanding her answers.”
———-

okobserver’s definition of an “intelectual” is a LIAR who does not keep their email password secure.

Palin continued to claim that she told Congress “thanks, but no thanks” to the bridge earmark, even after it was widely reported that bridge earmark had been killed 13 months BEFORE she took office. And she had been pro-bridge when the bridge earmark existed.

(The above stupidities probably annoyed media.)

Palin stupidly insists that widely scattered small areas of gravel over a 1.5 MILLION acre area is a “little 2,000 acre plot”.
http://www.inforain.org/Northslope/anwr_3.html

Palin stupidly put real, easy to find answers in her Yahoo email password security “reminder” list, allowing it to be easily broken into.

Old okie grmie with all day to blog and all she can come up with is weak shots on other posters.

The sweet smell of con fear. I LOVE it!

BJ I am retired and am not a young man with a family to support that spends his time in front of a computer blogging all day.

You are just too ridiculous for words. Pathetic dimwit. And I hit you with strong arguments today that blew you out of the water so the best you can come back with is that I blog all day. Well keep a mirror by your computer tomorrow and check it every now and then to see who is sitting in your chair.

“Scholfield is so biased his blog threads are even ridiculous.”

Actually, this thread is about the conservative columnists who are criticizing McCain and Palin.

===================================================
Do you really want to go down this road, Franklin? I’ve got about 40 some more, if you really want to play this game. Whose the man with Freddie, fannie, AIG, Aetna, J P Morgan . . . they’re all there, Franklin, and they work for McCain. How many of those businesses will tank before the election? How many will this government bail out? How many of these financiers will be out of a job by the election? You got nothing.

If elected, McCain will put the final nail in the coffin of America’s prosperity.

Obama is the only hope left for anyone who makes less than $250K per year.

Old okie grmie with all day to blog and all she can come up with is weak shots on other posters.

The sweet smell of con fear. I LOVE it!

Forget it American, Scholfield is not capable of doing any research at all.

And why would he want to?

All those conservative columnists, and Randy can’t name one of them!
======================================================
Sure he can, but why would he? He’d just be perpetuating the myth of right wing intelligence.

Ya know, this is the United States of America. A person here is innocent until PROVEN guilty. So far, what I’ve read about this Obama/Muslim crap has been nothing but innuendo, lies and racist garbage coming from brain dead morons. I have yet to see or read one thing tying him to the Muslim religion. A verbal gaff hardly counts as proof. Unless you’re predisposed to slamming a presidential candidate for no other reason than you don’t like his color.

Let me give you an example of this illogical thinking practiced by these morons:
McCain was in a communist prison for five years. So it only makes sense he was turned, and is now a communist agent who will sell out this country in a new york minute. Hey, makes as much sense as the right wing wackos bs.

“It’s over,” Noonan commented shortly after finishing a segment with NBC’s Chuck Todd. The conversation took place off camera while all three microphones were still on.

Todd asked whether he thought it was insulting that McCain passed over other highly qualified female candidates, including Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. At one time Hutchison’s name was mentioned as a possible running mate.

“They’re all bummed out,” Murphy responded, “I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?”

Mr. Scholfield,
