Sarah Palin's Pastor Problem

[Ben Kenobi]

So people in government are children? If they're truculent, will she send them to their rooms without supper? Spank them?

(Ooh, a spanking! A spanking! )

After watching Biden on CSPAN during the congressional judicial hearings, it reminded me of a playground of kindergarteners.

Blue slip this, blue slip that.

It's a wonder anyone actually gets appointed.

Just think how bad President Clinton must have felt. The Repugs stalled many more of his appointees that the Dems did of Bush's. Poor Bill.

I could call myself a history professor because like Obama I gave lectures in university, but it would be a distortion of the facts.

Statement Regarding Barack Obama


The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer."

From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.

Why do you assume everyone here is dumber than you? Honestly, this bothers the hell out of me.

Do you not believe in at least a cursory look at basic facts before you spew bull**** to the masses? You're not some priest or some professor at the University of North British Columbia, we're smart people here. Try harder. Actually, please just TRY.

By what measure? Is this the same rule that says 2 is the same as 5?

No wonder the Dems always lose elections when they can't even count.

Why does everything have to be about your manhood Asher? I never said that at all.

This is classic projection. All I said is that you should look at what he actually did when he was a lecturer. He never was a full professor, and he shouldn't pad his resume.

Thank you.

What's so bad about being a lecturer? Is it somehow more shameful?

You don't have to say it. You just constantly spew bull**** here that is ALWAYS -- and I mean ALWAYS -- obviously false and easily disproven.

You either genuinely believe the things you say -- which is SCARY and I will not even discuss the obvious implication here for the fear of Ming's wrath -- or you believe everyone here is dumber than you and you can say this **** and no one will call you on it.

It's not projection. It's me calling you a ****ing liar. It's all you ever do. It's pathological.

Yes, lecturer is a lesser rank. If you went to a real university, you'd know all about this ****.

Senior Lecturer and Lecturer are different as well. Senior Lecturer is more like a part-time professor (but a professor nonetheless) than a Lecturer.

When it's confirmed outright that he was a lecturer and not a full professor.

Of course. Why wouldn't I when the facts agree with me.

It's not projection. It's me calling you a ****ing liar. It's all you ever do. You're a pathological liar or a chronic idiot. Take your pick.

I don't think I'm smarter then everyone else here. This thread is proof that I can take correction when warranted.

Just because you don't admit you are wrong, doesn't mean you are right Asher.

In case anyone cares, here's what Barack says on his website:

Barack Obama was raised by a single mother and his grandparents. They didn't have much money, but they taught him values from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. He took out loans to put himself through school. After college, he worked for Christian churches in Chicago, helping communities devastated when steel plants closed. Obama turned down lucrative job offers after law school to return to Chicago, leading a successful voter registration drive. He joined a small law firm, taught constitutional law and, guided by his Christian faith, stayed active in his community. Obama and his wife Michelle are proud parents of two daughters, Sasha and Malia.

He makes no claim to being a full professor.

[Ben Kenobi]

Yes, lecturer is a lesser rank. If you went to a real university, you'd know all about this ****.

Which is why it's important to point out where Senator Obama is inflating his resume.

Senior Lecturer and Lecturer are different as well. Senior Lecturer is more like a part-time professor (but a professor nonetheless) than a Lecturer.

Which is why the position is called "lecturer?"

I did go to a real university. Joncha can confirm that I went to UBC. That's actually a bigger university then yours, so if you really want to play my university is bigger then yours, go right ahead.

OH MY ****ING GOD.

YOU CONTINUE WITH THE BLATANT LIES AND BULL**** EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISCREDITED.

He was a SENIOR LECTURER, which according to the UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO (WHERE HE TAUGHT) is "regarded as professor".

Of course. Why wouldn't I when the facts agree with me.

SIMPLE. BECAUSE THEY DO NOT.

I don't think I'm smarter then everyone else here. This thread is proof that I can take correction when warranted.

While the first sentence is undeniably true, the second is false. In this very ****ing post you're not comprehending a correction. A very simple one. It's so simple even a tutor in Texas could comprehend it.

THIS MAKES NO SENSE. NO SENSE. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. NO SENSE. NO SENSE IS THIS MAKING. NO SENSE, DOES THIS MAKE.

UChicago says Senior Lecturers (NOT "Lecturers") are regarded as professors. So to say he was a professor is not a lie. To say he was NOT a professor after given evidence from the school he was employed at to the contrary is a blatant lie.

I did go to a real university. Joncha can confirm that I went to UBC. That's actually a bigger university then yours, so if you really want to play my university is bigger then yours, go right ahead.

You went to UBC for 1 year after a transfer from a joke school. I've no doubt UBC is bigger than my school, it's also why it's ****ing ****. It's demonstrably a school with no standards and no quality education. I can't see any other argument one can make when given you as a sample.

Is it the same as a full professor? Yes or no. You've already said, and I caught your post before you Dans'ed it that affirmed what I said.

While the first sentence is undeniably true,

Thank you. So why did you say that I thought I was smarter then everyone else here? That's why I said you were projecting.
