I was being respectful towards you even when I thought you were being presumptuous about GGL's meaning.

I don't know why calling myself an idiot should elicit this type of response because it sounds as if I had called you an idiot.

Maybe I'm an idiot for not seeing things your way and even that doesn't merit the response you've given.

I'll just let this go because I don't have any interest at all in wasting my time on the brilliance of Palin......

Go back one page to see my last post. It got buried a little while others were posting.

You have an uncanny knack for spin, do you know that? Is McCain's campaign aware of this, because they are really missing out if they don't recruit you like, now.

Let me explain.

Yes, the Holocaust was the killing of Jews, Casey, but it was so much more than that. There were millions of people killed that weren't Jews. They were POWs, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Slavics, ethnic Poles, etc. I know you have to realize that it was systemic and took years of degradation, humiliation and abuse before these people were killed. They were locked up and tortured.

Why would someone use this as an example of Israel defending itself? I understand the Jews were the primary target of the Nazis and in the concentration camps, but this is just .... I don't know.

IMHO, if she was talking about Iran (and she never mentioned them in the context of this question), it's like comparing apples to oranges. Take that however you want. I just thought the comparison was very inappropriate and she could have answered the question without using the Holocaust as an example.

Thanks for your respectfullness. It is greatly appreciated.

What type of response have elicited?

I'm sorry if you didn't mean that as a smartass remark. But, when you pointed out that you already knew what happened during the holocaust...I did not feel it was not dripping with respect..

I knew that you probably knew what happened during the Holocaust ...I was trying to push you further into explaining where you felt Palin was wrong...And you still dont seem to be able to do that.

I dont know how you see Palin's comments..You haven't explained. You have just conveyed your being "baffled"

I think the comment of you being "baffled" by Palin's response was implying that you do not see the situation in Iran as similar to the Holocaust?

Sorry if I was too presumptious once again for your taste...

You did not explain your reasoning for feeling this way..so I filled in the blanks for you...

I'll just let this go too, because I don't have the interest in debating with someone that wont back up their comments with reasoning.

Uh Oh. Am I being to mean or rude? You probably wont read my posts from here on out....Oh well..

Please share the title of that book with me. :lol: :lol:

Roman, that article by Dan Balz was something. I agree with it totally. McCain had a very bad day. He did it to himself too. He says he's going to go join the negotiations and has no plan on how to do so????

You know, I am starting to feel a little sorry for Palin. She was brought on to the campaign for very cynical reasons. Then, they lock her up and not let her out on her own for a month, then throw her in to interviews with network anchors. Obviously they did not prepare her for those interviews. She's not an idiot. I don't think she's ready to be a VP candidate and the campaign certainly has not done anything the last month to make her ready to be a VP candidate. I can't believe they did not let her out on her own and allow her to gain some confidence in meetings with the media. What was so obvious is that she felt assured and confident when she interviewed with Charlie Gibson. She was nervous and insecure with Katie Couric. It was like she had no confidence at all.

      Doug looked delicious in Thursday's episode. The episode wasn't as great as Wednesday's. I was a bit disappointed. It was nice seeing Paul again but I'm not thrilled at the way their writing John's exist.

      Thanks again @Paul Raven .  With Denny we now get the arrival of Toni Bua. If the show had been renewed, I wonder if she would have stayed on. Given the influx of new female characters in her age range, I don't know.

      Happy 40th anniversary, Bo and Hope!

      Please register in order to view this content

        And it was so great to see them again, and for the two of them to finally have scenes with both Shawn and Ciara, as a family. I especially enjoyed the first scene with Hope at Bo’s bedside and the flashback to their wedding. It was really sweet. Victoria Konefal did a really good job too. It really is a shame that things didn’t work out with her… and that her character was so disregarded by the previous writing team. And yeah, they really didn’t need to have Ciara mention her serial killer though. It was not necessary. I mean, Ron’s gone lol we don’t need to do this anymore. And I don’t know where she was going with those leather pants either. As for John, like I said yesterday, I just don’t know. I’m glad that he’s a part of trying to save Bo’s life, but to have him go out like this… As much as I disliked the whole Orpheus thing, maybe they should’ve continued on with that for John’s exit story. Like I said before, and have John sacrifice his own life to kill Orpheus once and for all. Because the fact that Orpheus is still gonna be alive while John isn’t kinda pisses me off. I can’t help but wonder if this was always planned or if Paula/Jeanne changed the story. But I think this whole thing is gonna be very divisive. Soap Twitter/social media will probably be explosive today.

      It was interesting to peruse Twitter and seeing some fans who were very upset Anna didn't get to do a tango with Chase, while others were glad because they felt that was her special dance with Duke. A good reminder of how long-lasting soap fanbases can be, even as the show has tried to move Anna on. How any Duke/Anna fan did manage to stick with the show I don't know, but points for will power, I suppose.

      The Media/Journalism Thread

      It's probably a good thing most of us don't post here often now as the shameful conduct of the "legacy media" enabling the attention seeking and grudge holding of Tapper and Alex Thompson would probably have broken the servers. I avoid CNN as often as I can, so I had no idea that every anchor on CNN, probably even an AI Larry King, was plugging the book 24/7. The wagons truly are circling, as even some journalists who love to pretend they aren't like the rest, like Dave Weigel, have joined in. I am at the point where I have no use for any major reporters or media figures. I find it especially disgusting when I see reporters who talk about losing loved ones supporting this book after the reports you posted.

      That wasn't an original song. That song is by ABC and was a huge hit in the 80's. As I was watching I was thinking he just ruined a great tune.

      The Hollands obviously had long term story in place for Lee/Caroline/Bobby etc but when the Pollocks arrived they quickly wrapped it up with the new diagnosis and sent them packing. That could have been it for Lee but I think the Elmans brought Lee/Scotty back in their short stint.  Somebody must have regretted dumping Lee.I'm sure Peter Hansen was happy to get the call to return.

      You have to stop and think: was Estelle the mother to all five children?  How many Mrs. Kendalls existed? Linda Cook played Aileen Kendall in flashbacks, but, at the time, we thought she was the only prior Mrs. Kendall.  It seemed that Aileen’s name was changed to Estelle when Domini Blythe came on.  But Lloyd (Peter Haskell) is said to be going through a divorce when he’s introduced (and when he’s pursuing Sunny).  To me, Aileen is Estelle, and the mother to all the children. The wife Lloyd is divorcing is inconsequential.  Wendy’s fate is never resolved.

      Oh you are probably right. I thought Marland brought him back but that must have been an interim writer. Tex somebody...?
