"But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together. ... In this new century, Americans and Europeans alike will be required to do more – not less. Partnership and cooperation among nations is not a choice; it is the one way, the only way, ...Will we extend our hand to the people in the forgotten corners of this world ... Will we lift the child in Bangladesh from poverty, shelter the refugee in Chad, and banish the scourge of AIDS in our time? " -Barack Obama - BillE3, on 08/18/2008, -9/+33Why is he so afraid to publicly admit to embracing Karl Marx and the communist manifesto?

- inactive, on 08/19/2008, -4/+13Excellent set of quotes.

Is that "guilt by association" legal terminology? We're still waiting to hear the details on your law degree ("top ten law school") and your (no doubt brilliant) legal career. - inactive, on 08/19/2008, -2/+9And, on the very odd chance that some are "up-Digging" simply b/c they're Hil-fans-against-the-obamessiah, let us not forget the most recent of HER publicized Socialistic "diatripes" . . .

- elcalrissian, on 08/19/2008, -3/+9I don't care that he may have Muslim roots in his family or that his middle name is Hussein (which is like Smith or Jones in some parts of this world).
His plans to raise taxes, bail out foreclosed homeowners with taxpayer's money, redistribute wealth and punish private companies who are profitable make me not like Obama.
Just wait till next thursday, the 28th. Presidential hopeful speaking to 70,000 plus in Denver. I cant think of a political figure with that kind of audience without seeing Hitler or Stalin addressing the masses. - vexingmodstwo, on 08/19/2008, -8/+13Not that we needed any corroboration... I mean, really. All you have to do is listen to what he's saying and you know that he's a communist.
- inactive, on 08/19/2008, -1/+6McCarthy would be proud of you guys!
- bprager, on 08/19/2008, -0/+5Bennet Cerf once reported Clemenceau's response to a visitor's alarm about his son being a communist: If he had not become a Communist at 22, I would have disowned him. If he is still a Communist at 30, I will do it then.
- Nannybell, on 08/19/2008, -0/+5Where is he going to get the money to do this? Oh I know... from you and me.
- bluto36, on 08/19/2008, -4/+8oh look its Perry Mason talking about McCarthyism.
/make believe lawyer talking about make believe historical events - inactive, on 08/20/2008, -0/+3I would have gone with Al Pacino in The Devil's Advocate.

- elleigh2, on 08/19/2008, -4/+7JUST GIVE HIM TIME! IF HE GETS ELECTED AND THE LIBS GET VETO PROOF POWER IN CONGRESS, THEY WILL BE TRYING TO NATIONALIZE EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES!
- inactive, on 08/19/2008, -6/+9Obama is a digger alright -- when he hits the bottom, he keeps on digging. What an embarassment to his own party. I bet there are a ton of unhappy Democrats that this guy slipped through whatever vetting process there was.
- novaculus, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3Ok, you're crazy.
Obama didn't change his political orientation. He became a student of Saul Alinsky. He learned to conceal his beliefs and his agenda. He learned to mirror and exploit the agendas and beliefs of others to mobilize their support. It is the hardest of political edges, utterly cynical and calculating to the core.
Little wonder Obama and Clinton were the last two standing in the battle for the democrat nomination. Hillary is a student of Alinsky too. - xcspyder, on 08/19/2008, -2/+5Great way to blow his comment way out of proportion. He doesn't say anything about social security or defense.
- Nannybell, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3Problem is, liberals don't define themselves as socialists, do not admit to themselves that's what they are or is what their candidates are, but then they turn around and advocate totally socialist ideas. They just call them by other names.
- bgrah449, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3Call me crazy, I *do* see this as a good thing. Which is more likely - in his youthful zeal for justice, he thought maybe Communism was worth pursuing, but as he grew he realized it is ineffective and changed his political orientation - or that, years and years and years ago, he thought he'd go underground with his Communist teachings and set his sights on the Presidency, from where he could (somehow) turn America into a Communist nation in just four years?
I like hearing that someone used to think something and now doesn't. It means they know how to think, that they don't just believe whatever they were taught. - Nannybell, on 08/19/2008, -2/+5No one doubts that the govt. should take care of defense, roads, fire dept., etc. It's the part where Big Bro. takes my money and gives it to the guy next door because he has less than me, or vice versa. That has nothing to do with roads, defense, fire depts. That is something else entirely.
- novaculus, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3Dugg for the Bennet Cerf reference.
- Nannybell, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3We used to watch Bennet Cerf on *What's My Line?* when I was a kid.
- xcspyder, on 08/19/2008, -1/+3Please less caps.
- inactive, on 08/19/2008, -3/+5So he's a communist Muslim? I thought your pet-Mujahedin had blown them all up in the 1980s...
- inactive, on 08/20/2008, -0/+2You know Jesus had brown skin, right "hope4god"? Jesus told me that you posting that comment is in direct violation of his teachings, and that you are going straight to hell.
You better get right, and QUICK, you back sliding bigot! Jesus don't play that *****... - inactive, on 08/19/2008, -2/+4I LOL'd...
I woulda went with William Conrad from Jake and the Fatman though, just for the extra credit points... - Nannybell, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2According to KjeffV's quote, she said: "I want to TAKE.."
That sums up the Democrat platform. - novaculus, on 08/20/2008, -2/+4I told you if you got on the stand and testified, people would know that you are a fraud and a liar. But you've done better, providing substantial evidence of stupidity and ignorance as well. Bravo!
Do you think that just because I am posting on the internet using a nickname that I am not an identifiable person? Or that you are not an identifiable person? Is that why you feel free to insult and libel? You cowardly cur. You could not be more mistaken.
Why would anyone bother to sue you? Personally, I'm afraid you would resort to conning the elderly and senile out of their Social Security money to satisfy the judgment that would surely be levied against you, if that is not already your practice.
Truth is indeed an absolute defense. That is why I fear no legal consequences for calling you out as a fraud and a liar, not because I believe neither of us is identifiable. But you obviously don't appreciate the consequences of making that statement. By doing so you confirmed beyond doubt your defamatory intent. No competent attorney would publish that kind of admission.
And while we're at it, describe for us the distinction between "actionable" and "actionable per se", and how it applies to the law of defamation. C'mon, be a hero. Prove me to be wrong. Show us some of that "top ten law school" legal learnin'. - bluto36, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1^^ nice, forgot about Al ^^
- NegativeDigg, on 08/19/2008, -1/+2So you didn't go to college?
- stevets, on 08/19/2008, -1/+2More likely to Hannity's voice and Colmes face.
- novaculus, on 08/20/2008, -1/+2Still not a shred of evidence to bolster that "I got a JD from a top ten law school" *****. And no dispute of my criticism of your attempts above regarding defamation and actionability.
Read my post again. Don't put words in my mouth that I never said, such as words to the effect that only appellate practitioners can criticize Justice Thomas. Of course, since the US Supreme Court is an appellate court, the highest appellate court, appellate court practice experience just might come in handy in the assessment of the legal skills of sitting justice.
Oh, that brings to mind a couple of more questions any first year law school student could answer immediately: By what pleading(s) does one seek Supreme Court jurisdiction on appeal? Beyond appellate jurisdiction, does the Supreme Court have jurisdiction over any other matters? If so, describe the scope of that jurisdiction. If you want to criticize a sitting Justice on the basis of his legal skills, knowledge of that Court's jurisdiction is absolutely fundamental. You have to know that to know if the petitioners have any right to relief from the Court in the first place.
C'mon Mr. "Top Ten Law School JD"! Every single question I have asked you is simple first year law school stuff. Which "top ten law school" gave you a JD? I may not be as smart as I think I am, but I do know a couple of things for sure. I'm smarter than you are. And you are no "top ten law school" JD. Or any law school JD.
So answer the questions. Or admit you are a fraud and a liar.
Or just shut up and go away. - novaculus, on 08/20/2008, -2/+3The term is libel per se (or defamation per se, or slander per se) and you have shown no knowledge of it that could not be gained with 15 minutes effort on google. It is indeed presumed to cause damage to reputation, but that is only part of its legal significance and consequences. For example, you ignore its consequences in the assessment of damages, which are manifold. In this day and age accusing someone of being a coward or having syphilis might be actionable per quod (you look it up) but I question whether either is actionable per se. State law is not consistent, but there are a number of examples of statements that are universally considered defamatory per se and you did not use any of them.
Your definition of actionable is wrong. Hint: Defamation per se is always actionable, simple defamation is not. Damage to reputation does not, in and of itself, necessarily result in actionable defamation.
Your notions of what constitutes an identifiable person are also wrong. I am identifiable here, as you are. I have a reputation here, as you do. That reputation can be damaged by defamatory statements, and damage is presumed as a matter of law in the case of libelous statements such as those you made.
By the way, we are still waiting on your discussion of the differences between a subpoena duces tecum and a writ of habeus corpus, any shred of evidence that you "got a JD from a top ten law school", ever practiced law (not to mention appellate law) or any other evidence that you are qualified to express a credible opinion on the legal skills of a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court.
That is how this discussion began. And you could easily prove your claim that you "got a JD from a top ten law school", if indeed that claim were true. Your failure to do so speaks for itself, and speaks far more convincingly than anything you have posted. - bluto36, on 08/19/2008, -3/+4i was going to go with Harvey Birdman but Birdman is pretty cool and... well DD is a douche. probably should have went with Elle Woods
- inactive, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1stttuuuppiiddsn697, oh ok......you know whats so funny its that you hide behind a keyboard and act all knowledgable with the Liberal losers here.......please continue to be dumb the world needs Ditch Diggers......................
- elleigh2, on 08/19/2008, -10/+11 Barack HUSSEIN Obama is just espousing all the good communist rhetoric he has been fed by the Liberal professors in our "great" public institutions of "higher education"!
- novaculus, on 08/20/2008, -1/+2Make that two little squirts!
- dagnabbit, on 08/20/2008, -1/+2lol buried this lame-ass story. no front page for you!
- novaculus, on 08/20/2008, -3/+4A tort, libel. Defamatory per se, and creates a presumption that damages result. Actionable in every state in the country.
I will again lay long odds, this time that you have never so impugned a man's honor to his face, unless he was much smaller than you, blind, or in a wheelchair.
Perhaps you could argue in your defense that the nearly universal knowledge that you are a liar, a fraud, and a douche of staggering proportions makes it nigh impossible that anyone on the face of the planet would ever take anything you say seriously. Might work, more than likely if you testify in your own defense.
YOU were the one who claimed to have a "JD from a top ten law school". You did so in a fraudulent effort to bolster your credibility when taken to task for a scurrilous smear against Justice Thomas. Simply making that claim means nothing in itself. By failing to support that claim by the tiniest thread of evidence you did not merely fail in the effort to bolster your credibility, you destroyed your credibility. If indeed you ever had any credibility in the first place, which admittedly does appear to be highly questionable.
Yesterday you came perilously close to crossing the line from fool's braggadocio to criminal offense. I suspect you don't have a clue and am hopeful you will yet cross it. Today you commit an actionable tort. At this rate you are bound to step in some deep ***** (legal term for "got my ass sued" or "got my ass arrested"), and sooner rather than later. There is always some guy in town who just can't seem to avoid getting his ass kicked down at the tavern or the pool hall on a semi-regular basis. After a while everyone begins to understand there is a reason. If you don't change your ways boy, when you grow up I'm afraid you are going to be that guy.
And I am asking everyone who has not yet done so not to report DumbDowner for this vile remark. I prefer to deal with him here, on the field of his choosing.
- inactive, on 08/20/2008, -1/+2What is Obamagate? I understand you're referencing a scandal on par with Watergate, but I don't know what scandal that might be.
While you're at it, give us one good reason to believe that Obama is a practicing Muslim.
Little lying bitch. -
