Oh yeah I forgot. Reality based news sources aren't favored in Limbaugh Land. The talking points typically originate here...

Listen here young fella, the last thing I need from you is a photo of yourself. Not everyone that has figured out how much of an idiot Barry is listens to Rush! I, for example, am a much bigger fan of Mark Levin, and I'll put his intellect and schooling up against anyone on this board. He's certainly more intelligent than the average Osuckama supporter like yourself. Nice picture though. When did you have it taken?

Has Bob Dylan Endorsed Obama?
Mercurial Songwriter Has Never Formally Endorsed a Politician
By CHRIS FRANCESCANI
June 6, 2008


Bob Dylan, the maverick architect of American protest music, appears to have endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Or did he?


In an apparent break from the singer-songwriter's lifelong policy of refusing to make political endorsements, Dylan told The Times of London, "Well, you know right now America is in a state of upheaval.

"Poverty is demoralizing,'' he said. "You can't expect people to have the virtue of purity when they are poor. But we've got this guy out there now who is redefining the nature of politics from the ground up — Barack Obama. He's redefining what a politician is, so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to."

Dylan had granted the rare interview to talk about the opening of an exhibition in London of his paintings. The comments about Obama came at the end of a lengthy interview.

If indeed intended as an endorsement of America's first black major party presidential candidate, the statements were extraordinary for Dylan — from a cultural if not necessarily political standpoint.

Even at the height of his fame in the 1960s, when mass movements like the civil rights brigades and the anti-war establishment literally begged Dylan to lead them, the artist recoiled from taking sides.

Dylan, 67, has spent his entire career confounding expectations and constantly re-inventing himself -- a nimble, endless effort to dodge definition.

LOL! I suppose I should have clarified that statement by saying,

"I didn't vote for the socialist/Marxist/collectivist Sal Alsinsky loving fucking idiot that is doing everything within his power to destroy the economy of the most successful representative republic in human history because he hates everything about capitalism and is suffering from some kind of seperation issues relateing to his long lost communist father who fucked three separate women and left them all to pursue more socialist government power in Kenya therefore Barry is doing all he can to live up to his long lost piece of shit father's image because he's a fucking loon that hates America and blames his typical white grandmother for all his problems because he is fucking crazier than bat shit freak who just happens to have the skill of oration and he has convinced a bunch of brain dead drones to vote for him even though he has zero experience in an executive position but his drone-like followers couldn't be bothered to actually do a little thing like read about him because they were too busy jerking themselves dry at the thought of his supposed belief in hope and change even though the very words "hope" and "change" are lifted directly from the book Rules For Radicals, which among many other crazy fucking things says that in order to affect a massive change to communism in a free society the first thing you must do is to lie to the masses about......you guessed it...hope and change....and these same brain dead drones that voted for him are in some cases too goddamned stupid to figure out that they have been had!"


Maybe that would have done it for you Bucky?

Riffy,

You could put Mark Levin's schooling up against mine, but you would once again be mistaken.  Mr. Levin earned his Juris Doctorate at Temple Law School; I got mine at Harvard.  Harvard Law School is the number one law school in the country; Temple is in a five-way tie for 59th.  Spread that on your toast and eat it.

Call me when you're Chief Of Staff to the Atty General of the United States there BJ. Also call me when you write three New York Times (Doh!) best sellers, and are the president of one of the largest Legal Foundations in the United States. http://www.landmarklegal.org/DesktopDefault.aspx


The school means nothing! His intellect and his life achievements are vastly superior to yours I'm afraid BJ. Not to mention the fact that he is considered one of the leading Constitutional scholars alive, and this view is shared by his friends and foes alike. I have met many people that went to better (ie-more expensive schools than I did) and I have been as smart or in many cases considerably smarter than most of them.

Mark Levin's intellect, and his life achievements are vastly superior to anyone's on this board.

You're equivocating, Riffy.  If "the school means nothing," why make an assertion about Mr. Levin's schooling?  You "put his . . . schooling up against anyone on this board," and I answered with actual evidence proving that mine was substantially better.  The intellectually honest response would be to concede the point about schooling and fall back on your other assertion about intellect.  I don't have any data on Mr. Levin's intellect to compare with my perfect score on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), but that perfect score would indicate that the best Mr. Levin could hope for was a tie.  Of course, the fact that he went to Temple Law makes a perfect LSAT score on his part doubtful.  And please do not assume, as you imply with your "i.e. more expensive" aside, that my superior education is the product of economic privilege.  It is not.  My parents were working class, teenaged high school dropouts when I was born.  I lived in a home without an indoor toilet until I was 8.  What I got I earned; nobody gave me nuthin'.

It appears you wish to shift the discussion from your initial assertion about schooling and intellect to a comparison of resumes.  I believe Mr. Levin's position as Chief of Staff to Edwin "Bigger Piggie" Meese says more about his ideological credentials than his intellect.    And I haven't seen any evidence that Mr. Levin is widely respected as a constitutional scholar outside of the far right.  I mean, who's even reading his stuff besides dittoheads?  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50246-2005Mar19.html ;  http://www.slate.com/id/2116087

On the other hand, at least you did respond, which is better than you did regarding my correction of your misuse of the George Washington quote.  Are you prepared to admit that it was about political parties in general and had nothing to do with socialism?  Have you developed your discussion on the Hamilton/Jefferson dispute and its application to current events?  Are you a small government Jeffersonian or a big business Hamiltonian, or what?  As an expert on American history, your ideas are much in demand.

Irony alert!

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the U.S. bank rescue program may cost more than the $700 billion Congress approved, and he pledged to crack down on companies and individuals who try to avoid paying taxes
