      <![CDATA[Where to begin Mr. K? Speaker Boehner, his rep Michael Steele, and even right-wing pundits like Beck and O’Reilly have long maintained that the “birther” controversy is patently absurd, and that there are tangible and egregious blunders to focus on in this administration instead. On “Meet the Press” in Feb '11, Boehner stated that he believed the CINC is indeed a citizen, but that it’s not his place to censure those who remain cynical.

      <![CDATA[Since you take such an interest in "my journey to attempt to find myself," smartestman, I will confess that early in my career I had the opportunity to enter the world of academia, but that would have meant spending countless frustrating hours teaching freshman English. When I consider your contributions to the blog, in particular your criticisms of my writing abilities, I can see I made the right decision in seeking a career in the real world.

      <![CDATA[smartestman, the definition in Webster of alliteration is "the repetition of usually initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables." It was Mr. LedHed who pointed out that "flair for florid rhetorical flourishes," was alliterative.

      <![CDATA[Mr. LedHed, in your first post you claimed I held "antiquated prejudices," but did not enumerate any. When I asked, you responded, "aren't they readily apparent?"<br>
<br>
All that is readily apparent to me is that you have no answer, so you double up on your bluff and bluster, hoping no one will notice your total intellectual bankruptcy.

      <![CDATA[I just remembered, Mr. LedHed, how you opened your previous post with a rather lame attempt to smear me with a deliberate misspelling:  "'Mr. K' ('Kommunist', perhaps?)"  You certainly have some nerve poking fun at my alliteration after that! The difference is my alliteration was a felicitous accident, whereas you were actually trying to be clever.

Instead, you first deny that birtherism was a product of "institutional" racism, and then you state the obvious, "that entire movement represents the extreme-Right fringe, and has been satisfactorily discredited..."

      <![CDATA[Well, "K", yet again you've used flowery prose to underscore that you're long on form, yet short on substance. You take me to task for failing to elaborate on your prejudices (aren't they readily apparent?), then state that a Repub candidate is an overt racist, and another is pretending to be one (to what end that would serve I'm unsure of) without providing any specific names or tangible evidence.

      <![CDATA[Mr. LedHed, I have no interest in deflecting attention away from the president. On the contrary, your post betrays a desperate need to deflect attention away from a close examination of the Republican Party leadership.<br>
<br>
When I wrote my post I was thinking in particular of the Speaker of the House, who told an interviewer long ago he was satisfied with Obama's birth certificate and sure of Obama's American citizenship, but followed up by saying it was not his job to help Obama get that message out to the general public.

      <![CDATA["Mr. K" ("Kommunist", perhaps?), to paint the majority of Repubs (and sorry, but you may count me out of that camp) as racists is not only an outright distortion, borne of antiquated prejudices, but a sadly transparent means to deflect scorn from the CINC as he himself uses race to pander to his base with his recent comments ("If Trayvon was my son..."). Racism truly works both ways, but only when the Libs cry out in protest is it considered below-the-belt.

      <![CDATA[Speaking only of the Republican Party leadership, not the rank and file, even those few who are not outright racists have nevertheless shown a willingness to use racism as a club against the president.
