  shameful and hateful

  It is, indeed, shameful and hateful.

  But I’m of the opinion that it’s best to let people say these disgusting things. It allows others to see just how ridiculous they are.

  And when someone who disagrees with me resorts to attacking personally… that’s on them.

  For the most part, candidates and their supporters are respectful and understand that everything is on the table when you’re a candidate. Unfortunately, some of them don’t recognize that getting nasty and personal with the messenger of an opinion is unacceptable and diminishes their candidate’s potential.

  What I think I interesting is that Philadelphia was a hit movie and won an award for Tom Hanks which proves that market forces support the gays. I’m not a homo hater nor do I support anyone who does (except fellow physicians) but I think the right to marry should be left to the states, which did such a good job taking care of the coloreds back in the 1960s before big brother stepped in.

  P.S. Paultards should take note that calling me skinny does nothing but pump up my already gigantic ego.

  Simply despicable. Those sentiments are beneath contempt.

  Losers.

  This comment is symptomatic of the disregard Paul and his campaign seem to have for people in general. To attempt to distort the Civil Rights Act into approval of discrimination of all sorts is genuine hubris. Add in the disregard for copyright law when the campaign used a Canadian Group’s music without permission, and we have either ignorance or total lack of legal knowledge (or again disregard for the rights of others).
  Now you have this, Jake, and it seems to exemplify the run-amok, juvenile, uninformed, bold, determinedly cruel disregard for the feelings of so many, that this campaign is made of.
  To have so much of this kind of thing, Paul must be a really low down human being or there would not be so much of this sort of thing going on so boldly.

  Davi, it’s the world of Rand. Ayn Rand, that is. The philosophy is that you should never sacrifice for another unless you receive something in return. Holding your tongue when you think something bad about someone who isn’t doing anything for you in return is a form of selfless sacrifice. It’s not Randian in nature. Rand Paul is a fan of Ayn Rand as are many of his biggest supporters.

  Dennis Prager once said that Ayn Rand hated socialism so much that she thought the opposite of it is a good thing, and that is just not the case. She was buried in a casket adorned with a 6′ dollar sign.

  I’m sure Paul supporters would get along great with Jake as long as he weren’t going after Rand Paul…….or doing something else that steps on their personal toes.

  It’s more like Rand hated Bolschewism so much she created its near-doppelganger. The world is still divided into the productive people and the parasite, it’s just that the productive people are the bosses and the parasites are the greedy, uncreative worker scum who should be glad to make _any_ wage off the holy dynamism of their betters.

  As for the comment that led this off: it must be nice to get that kind of validation from people. I’m not being ironic in saying this: the dislike and perhaps hatred of someone who sounds like your critic is as good a sign that you are pursuing (at least one variety) of reasonableness as you can practically expect to find.

  Just asking, but since there are some groups out there that admit publically that they will do embarassing things, pretending to be Tea Party members, to make Tea Party members look bad, how does one tell whether it is the “real thing” or someone from an opposing group faking it? I’d really like to know.

  For those criticizing Jake for his sexual orientation, remember that the Bible says that “ALL have sinned …”, and that one sin is not greater than any other (except for blaspheme of the Holy Spirit), so unless you are sin-free (which you aren’t), you have no right to criticize Jake in this manner, because you are just as guilty in your own ways.

  Davi… David Axelrod tells the story of campaigns throwing bricks through their own office windows, a practice not limited to Chicago or even political campaigns. Just sayin’ and not saying it about Jake.

  Along the lines of what michael kelley said,

  Stupid people suck.

  Thanks for sharing his IP, Jake. Who wants to take a little trip to Omaha?
