I don't think McCain or Obama can top this

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

and you all do realize that you are never going to change someone's opinion and that it is ok for someone not to agree with you.. it doesn't mean they are stupid or anything...

can you imagine what a world this would be if everyone thought the same, had the same opinions etc??

still don't see how that is hate... a lot of threads about one person = hate and all those threads started weren't all negative...

But they all ended up negative. Any mention of her in any thread turns into a Palin bashing fest by the opposition. If I am wrong about that then please provide a link and I will gladly STFU.

so now it is called bashing when someone disagrees with you?

yes there has been some unnecessary bashing ..... but that has happened on both sides.. not that it makes it ok....

but the majority of it is just people trying to understand and get to know someone they didn't know before...

Come on Marilyn, just read the threads. While some are genuinely questioning valid points there is a very large number of straight bashing with the intent of insulting those that like Palin. You just can't deny that.

so how is that any different to what happens to the people who are for Obama??

That's because they (the Obama-bots) fear her.....It's going to be 2004 all over again for the dem's/liberals as they keep hanging their hats on losers.

Now, JMc has chosen a running mate with superior experience and appeal than Obama.

I say let them suffer......

see there you go again.. someone disagrees with you and that means they are scared.. sheesh..

then going along with that, you guys must be scared too with all the "bashing" of Obama that goes on around here too...

No, really...

It is pointless Marilyn. Good on ya for trying though

I try...

I just want people to accept that other people might have different opinions then they do and that is ok...

Marilyn - why don't you try that peacekeeping talk with Obama supporters? Turnabout is fair play, no?

Oh sure. You can also say "so and so started it" when you get called on it.

Most people grow out of that sort of behaviour - but apparently are happy to revert when it comes to politics.

Surely the biggest irony of all - people are at their most childish when discussing something that has the profoundest impact on society and their individual quality of life.

So sure - Turnabout is fair play...

If you're 7....

This is no different than the other types of disagreements that go on here. Look at the Christianity vs. nonbeliever posts. The minority are the believers and often post in response to being called names. The majority here have a preference for Obama - or at least the louder ones make is seem so. So what?

I disagree. It just indicates that at least on the cover... a 'majority' here have the ability to look away from their computers and see reality for what it is- not the petty neener neener that has only one intended beneficiary- and it ain't Obama.

Methinks we are stoooopid Seis, because I didn't get it either. Must be some inner joke...

Perhaps that is the irony... Or perhaps it could be ironic in the Alanis Morrisette used of the term (i.e. that the things she calls out as ironic are just not...).

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's okay and everything's going right

And life has a funny way of helping you out when

You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up

In your face .....

la la la la la.

Alanis, FTW!!!

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... it figures

Isn't it Ironic...

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Lots of hate in this thread - all for a woman you don't know & probably never will.

why not use the word PERSON..and not woman.....your statement implies sexism...maybe, by you

Oh please. You of all people should know better than to call me out on using her gender as a descriptor. The hate is directed at Palin, who *IS* a woman. Something constantly brought up in here, even quoted by you.

Why the vague generalities? If you have gripe over what somebody posted or said that you believe demonstrates hatred for Palin, then post it.

All this broad brush accusations are getting tiresome and those kind of vague claims hold no weight.

Where is the irony folks? Not in Alanis's song and not in this thread.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I could forgive Alanis - if she hadn't ripped off Leonard Nimoy's "Highly Illogical"
