You Didn't Earn it, You are Lucky

PP, so your plan is to totally duck the Bernanke commencement comments which was the point of the post you reference?

There are becoming fewer & fewer posters in the water cooler that you haven't attempted to slime. I wonder if your credibility has approached absolute zero (except in your mind)?

I didn't slime Terrell--he did that to himself. Being the sensible person he is I'm sure he's embarrassed by the remark. You failure to understand simple matters is not surprising.

PP, you have a talent for feigning offense where none is intended.

I've heard the phrase, Nice Jewish Boy, used in context. I'm pretty sure a high compliment.

Anyone here more familiar than I (of Norwegian lineage) with Jewish culture care to add your thoughts?

I highly doubt he meant it as a slur so much as an adjective, a description of the scene.

A Jew quote New Testament bible is novel...I am curious what your limits are in hostelry - since I have walked out of more than one motel because incense was so strong I couldn't keep from sneezing... I have stayed at many more where the operators were smart enough to keep from gagging their patrons. Are you implying that I am as likely to run into a Norwegian burning incense? Perhaps a Greek? If I did, you can bet I would walk, too. Your feigned and fatuous sensitivities aside PP, bite me.

BTW, the last guy I know who went to Princeton was no silver-spoon-in-mouth elite. He was from a broken family, worked in a band to get thru undergrad school, and was accepted to Princeton on the strength of his academics in Physics.

Given the "good Jew boy" use and your earlier slam today at Indian Americans (those from Asia) I'm stunned that you have any Biblical knowledge at all. If you've read it, it doesn't appear to have sunken in.

Love how you "imply" (negatively) what the speaker had to say.

Very disappointing--would expect such from Mentor but not you.

Yes, me too.

Since when did Jews not call themselves Jews...and since when did liberals stop complaining about "bible thumping Baptists" ... is this like the N word? You can't say that if you are white...naughty naughty...but if you are African-American then you can call yourself Ni**** all you want???

So both of you can stick your fake pompous self-righteous BS back where it came from.

Me thinks you protest too much. I actually grew up a "bible thumping Baptist" but still think you crossed a line.

Love how some will vehemently defend the indefensible. Sad--truly sad!

As to Bernanke's comments--were I sitting in the audience waiting for my Princeton degree I would feel very, very lucky. Remember feeling the same at my own college graduation many years ago. Some people just don't get it.

P.S. the thread title is totally misleading and attempts to push the appropriate Right Wing buttons. Funny!

I sincerely apologize for being offended by your bigoted remarks. What was I thinking?
