"No, you don't deal with the facts at all." Oh, BS. "You congratulate yourself when you're right and you change the subject when you're wrong." You have dislocated your shoulder so many times patting yourself on the back that everyone has lost count. And, even then, you are still usually wrong. It only seems like I am changing the subject because you were pretending I was discussing something else. Straw men and all. "You jump to conclusions, misinterpret anything as needed to support your position, and conveniently ignore anything that suggests you are wrong." There is psychological term, inode. Projection. You have it. Bad. "And you make shit up all the time (remember, it is going to cost a hundred billion to build a rail line from DAL-HOU). " I might have remembered the total figure wrong. It was more than a couple of billion. Still, I was within an order of magnitude. Something you rarely get close to. "As to the Obama+Khalidi relationship, I recommend you read up on it yourself" I have. I do see the accusation that he was a spokesman for the PLO. It just seems to lack any factual basis. So the fact that Obama was on the same board as Khalidi is, at best, a curiosity. And here is where we get to the projection thing. You claim I jump to conclusions. There is no evidence, other than some accusations, that Khalidi has had any relationship to the PLO. Yes, he sympathetic to the Palestinians. His father, after all, is from there. As a result, there are those who have made some claims that don't appear to be grounded in fact. Yet, you take them at face value and have him as an actual employee of the PLO. No facts needed. And then when challenged, you get all pissy. Or take Brumar's attempt to claim that al Qaeda attacks have declined against Americans since we went into Iraq. He gave a long list, most of which had no provable link to al Qaeda. He then ignored all the attacks that occurred after the war started. When this was pointed out, you demanded a list. I asked you to define terms because we have gone through this once before. You then came up with a definition that eliminated all but a couple off of Brumar's list. So, I took your definition, came up with about the same number of events that matched your definition in a 4 year period that Brumar had over a 20 year period, and you announced it proved Brumar's point! There were some mental backflips, twist and an half's and God only knows how many mental gymnastics to reach that conclusion. And, finally, in my experience, those who brag about their IQ usually don't break the mid-110s. Which really isn't all that much to brag about.

You friggin idiot, are you really trying to suggest that Obama is consorting with terrorists? If so, you're one very twisted dude. As to the Obama+Khalidi relationship, I recommend you read up on it yourself. It is a waste of time for me to post stuff here that I've already posted and you've ignored. If you want to know something about the subject, go read about it like I did. You can google it as easily as I can -- since it is impossible to come to terms with you about the meaning of the word "is", it is an utter waste to cut and paste links here for you.
