Adolph Hitler was not a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

No, they did not, and that's the truth.

My "bad" on that one, but he was certainly nominated for it, and I know for a fact, he was the Time Magazine "Man of the Year" one year in late 1930's. Anyway, I still say if Palin wants to build a fence around her property, big deal. If the author wants a fence around his house, big deal. How something like this even becomes more than a minor footnote news-wise is beyond me.

Wrong.

Hitler was nominated in 1939, but it was also withdrawn. (Thousands of invitations to nominate a candidate are circulated, and nominees are not identified for 50 years. Hence there is virtually no significance to said nomination.)

Arafat did indeed share a Nobel Peace prize. The prize can be shared by as many as three nominees, and that has only happened one time in the 100+ year history. Arafat, Itzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres
shared the 1994 award.

Arafat did, and that's the truth. Hitler didn't, my mistake, but was certainly nominated for it. Maybe we both need to think first, think first.

I think that the point is is that when you attempt to argue a negligible point with an untruth represented as truth, it might make us wonder what else you are misinformed on.

I agree about the fence...who really cares so much about the stupid thing, although it does appear to be poor quality workmanship. My neighbors are building an even taller one and I'm happy to see that so far it is very well built; I have a good degree of optimism that it will not prove to be an eyesore when it is completed.

At least I admitted my error, and I admittedly am arrogant, but as I said what is negligible to one isn't to the other, so seems like you might be more arrogant than me there. That untruth, by the way, wasn't much of an untruth, and half of it I was dead right on. Anyway, have a great evening.

I don't apologize for a damn thing I wrote. PERIOD. And no, I don't pucker up to a picture of Palin, or anyone else, thank you, not that I give a crap what you think or me anymore than you give a crap of what I think of you.
You proved my point! Only it's not the author who is hounding anyone. Other than moving next door, name one thing he has done to trespass on Walin's privacy. You can't because he hasn't! Walin' is the one inciting hatred from her scumbag wacko fan's, *cough, cough*. McGuinniss is the victim in this scenario. If there is anyone whose life is in danger, it's his. Those Palienites who are emailing death threats to him are doing so at the behest of Wailin' Palin. PERIOD

So, it's not Walin' who makes you pucker. Could it be Todd? He is the perfect lapdog, an attractive attribute,........... apparently.
