Frances, Read more closely my comment. It’s simple. Dowd made a statement. That statement is the subject of this post. I didn’t comment on the accuracy or any other aspect of his comment. I simply said I made the same observation he did several days ago.

That was the entire subject of my comment. I didn’t attempt to make any dissection or analysis of the accuracy of Dowd’s comment. She made an attempt to draw me into an argument I had not stated nor wished to get into at the time.

Now, I do think I drew what I felt were similarities in my original comment. If she were to ask me how “I” thought there were similarities, then the explanation would be on.

I don’t think she did that. I don’t think that was her intention. Her subsequent comments bore that out.

It’s not that hard. The answer to “What are you talking about?” in this instance is, “I was stating I had made a similar comment several days earlier.”

TN says: “I was making the observation that I made this precise comment about the similarities between Palin at this point and Obama at the same point in his run up to the Presidency.”

LisaT says: “What are you talking about? There is no similarities between Palin and Obama at any point in their history. Obama always had the support of independents which grew in time. Palin’s only support is from the republican base.”

TN says: “Lisa, what you said was not relevant to my comment.”

TN, please review this sequence of comments and then define “relevance”.

Lisa, what you said was not relevant to my comment. I didn’t ignore you. But please enlighten me. YOU tell ME what I cannot defend about my words. Please bear in mind that the ONLY thing I said was that I made the same observation several days ago that Mr. Dowd has made.

Now, tell me where I’m wrong to make that comment, please?

(Advice: You would do well to find someone more mature to agree with. Look at his comment. Is that how YOU wish to be perceived?)

I see what you mean, anteater. He ignored what I wrote and took cover. That’s what happens when one cannot defend their own words.

Lisa, take issue with Mr. Dowd. I’m only stating I made the same observation and conclusion he has reached several days ago.

Don’t bother Lisa. This guy is as thick skulled and ignorant as they get. He is unable to ever say “I’m wrong.” Typical repub thug.

What are you talking about? There is no similarities between Palin and Obama at any point in their history. Obama always had the support of independents which grew in time. Palin’s only support is from the republican base.

sigh….I truly get so weary of dealing with comprehension challenged people.

Please, don’t do to me as you do to others. Don’t add YOUR thoughts and suspicions to MY words.

I had no reason to add OR leave out the next line. I was making the observation that I made this precise comment about the similarities between Palin at this point and Obama at the same point in his run up to the Presidency.

I don’t mind absorbing your ridicule and scorn. But please. Try to be intelligent with it.
