RE: Name Calling & History

First off, I’m reminded of my readings of how the Roman Republic went down the toilet. And, as I recall, blatant name-calling, as opposed to objective and civil debate was one of the key indicators that their form of government was getting flushed away.

I’m not surprised to see a similar pattern of behavior coming from the Democrats. First it was their poorly educated rank-and-file, e.g., nick and Javelin here. Now their demi-god himself.

I disagree that Obama would never stoop to such a thing. He obviously has. Or, perhaps, it was his speech-writer, as Obama can’t deliver a good speech without a telapromptor…..

RE: The Naming of Names

Obama would be wise to apologize and not do such a thing ever again.

Why? Because there are a number of appaullations [Note: That's not a misspelling, it's a pun.] that I’m certain people could come up with for him. And he’d probably rather NOT hear them as they’ll stick harder than alluding to Governor Palin as a ‘pig’ with lipstick.
