Too lazy to look at the videos, is it first person or third?

Poor America... Poor democracy...
It's not unusual for all the candidates to look like midgets before the campaign. Once they go through that, someone always emerges who looks like a credible candidate, at least to half of the population.

No, it's cause and effect.

So you are calling the President a punk, and complaining about anti-Americanism in other threads? He is the President of the United States. You can disagree with his policies while still being respectful of the office and our country. How about he shows some respect for the Supreme Court first? He's the head of one of the co-equal branches of government, I'm not.

Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Why do you keep pretending that her quote doesn't include this: "The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung and Mother Theresa -- not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most..." the meaning should be perfectly clear whatever other historical references she made. Btw, she never explained (at least in your quote) what was so great about Mother Theresa that made her turn to her most, just Mao. Edit: She could've just made her point about Mao without saying he was one of her favorite philosophers, or turning to him most, or juxtaposing him with Mother Theresa. And yes, you could rationalize that may be she didn't mean it the way it sounds, and so on, but it was still a really dumb thing to say. Especially coming from someone in a high government position who tries to discredit a news organization that's critical of her political goals.

- What are You playing now?
If you visited one, you've visited them all. If I could murder Joker (after breaking his brittle legs first of course), I'd buy ME2 just for that.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Obviously Beck doesn't believe Jefferson is guilty of any genocide, so your argument doesn't hold water.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
So really your argument comes down to "Jefferson was as bad as Mao", and has nothing to do with whether and to what degree Dunn admires Mao.- What are You playing now?
Iron Warriors, also known as Balkans on Fire. My T-34 keeps getting killed by a Super Sherman, aargh. I managed to kill him once, but not before he shot off my tracks, so I still couldn't finish the mission. A really fun tank sim, and relatively easy to get into, also very cheap on Steam. Though I was crashing when I set it to higher resolution, so not sure about stability.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
It's not a witch hunt. She was thrown under the bus by Obama, but it wasn't just for one dumb quote. She constantly said and did dumb things as the director of communications, the worst being starting a war with Fox News (before that quote was found), which only made it look like Obama was trying to suppress dissent and boosted Fox News tremendously.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Not only the depth of ignorance, but the ability to distort and willfully misunderstand a simple and obvious statement. This is indeed like arguing with Bill Clinton over the definition of "is". And Hurlshot, my English is much better than most native speakers, believe me.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
We're not talking about quoting, we're talking about favorite philosophers and turning to someone time and again. Then explain to me what his point has to do with Dunn's case. If you can't admire Mao, you also can't admire the founding fathers? Or there was something good in Mao's philosophy worth admiring? What is it?- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Yes, saying someone admires Mao is completely the same as saying he admires the founding fathers. And someone saying they admire hitler is the same as someone admiring Churchill, because after all Churchill was a drunk and hitler was a vegetarian. Elementary logic fail once again.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Again, you are putting words in her mouth. The whole bullying news style that I see from folks like Glen Beck and O'Rielly has always bothered me. It's easy to tear people down and they've made a living off of it. She said he's one of two favorites, how am I putting words in her mouth? And what do you think of Obermann on MSNBC then? Also, can you give me an example where O'Reilly tore anyone down? (Not that I'm a huge fan of O'Reilly, but he does do a lot of good with his exposes some times).- Mass Effect 2
My point wasn't that QTE's/ button presses were bad in and of themselves, my point was that's all that's left of an RPG, and was meant to be satirical. Of course I was going by what someone else said, so that may not even be the case.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Where did you get methods? She said nothing about methods. Wouldn't your methods follow your philosophy? And this "you're going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before". Those aren't methods? And Mao is not the one person she turns to most for those methods? Like I said, I don't think she's actually a Maoist, she's just a loony leftist who's had to resign her position because of all the dumb things she'd said and done. Ok, you're becoming deluded. You're saying that because she considered a guy a good philosopher she also totally ascribed to all of his ideals. As to "things that have never been done before" Where does she say what things? I could say "you're on the list" but for all you know that could be anywhere between a hit list and a birthday list. Albert Einstien did things that were never done before, was he a Maoist? Did you actually read the quote she used when she gave that speech? Like I said, she used the quote "You fight your war, I'll fight mine". How does that have anything to do with Chinese Communist Doctrine at all? Yeah, except she doesn't turn to Einstein when she wants to do things that were never done before, she turns to Mao. Yes, Mao is her favorite political philosopher but she completely disagrees with his political philosophy. Certainly makes perfect sense.- Mass Effect 2
It's just a very simple QTE. It's still timed right, you can't just sit forever and decide?- Sarah Palin joins Fox News

So if she was quoting him on guerilla warfare, it would be more understandable. Instead she's praising his political methods.- Mass Effect 2
Bioware - distilling the essense of an RPG down to a QTE.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Is Stalin also your favorite political philospher? Way to distort the meaning of a quite obvious statement.- Sarah Palin joins Fox News
Substitute hitler for Mao in that sentence, then make the same arguments. I actually don't know who murdered the most people. Anyway, I believe Dunn is actually dumb enough that she didn't fully realize what she was saying.- Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
What? Every quest had multiple solutions, how many games let you do that anymore? - What are You playing now?
