Roger Ebert is nothing if he isn't a knee-jerk leftist, absolutely without a single original political or cultural thought in his head and his latest meandering post on the Sun-Times hosted Roger Ebert's Journal is a perfect example.
His piece is titled "Ten things I know about the mosque" but it doesn't seem like there really are ten things nor are they all about the mosque. After reading his wandering post one is tempted to believe that the only reason he posted the thing was to find an excuse to attack Sarah Palin, someone that has nothing to do with the Ground Zero Mosque.
Let's deal with Ebert's off topic attack on Palin first. For a piece that is supposed to be about the Ground Zero Mosque (and by the way he never once calls it the Ground Zero Mosque, even as the Imam that was planning the thing has called it that) Palin's appearance at point 6 on his list makes no sense. Not only that but Ebert goes off on a tangent of a tangent by discussing Palin's interaction with Dr. Laura and her "N" word controversy. Hello, Rog… mosque? What does Palin and Dr. Laura have to do with the mosque?
Even more absurdly, Ebert's first few points are filled with his ruminations on the First Amendment. Then he attacks Palin for employing her own freedom of speech? It's a whiplash-inducing tangent, for sure.
Plus, in essence he calls Palin a liar by assuming that some right-wing "anonymous genius" is writing all her Tweets and Facebook posts. Ebert has to reach into the dim corners of his conspiracy-laden mind for that one because there is no hint anywhere in the rest of the world that Palin isn't writing her own stuff. It's just Ebert's hatred of Palin informing his belief that she's too stupid to put two words together.
Worse he seems to be saying that it was Sarah Palin that invented the name "Ground Zero Mosque." This is an untruth. Then he calls Palin Hitler by saying she is using tactics from Mein Kampf.
That's alright Rog, we know that you are using tactics invented by Marx, so you have that going for you, which is nice....

He sucks at that too.
He looks sick!....
Yawn...
Geez, really worked overtime to come up with that one, eh, Rog?
Ebert is still alive? Who knew?
Thanks, I wasn’t aware Ebert and the Phantom of the Opera were related. What happened to his mask?
“He sucks at that too.”
Couldn’t agree more, You beat me to it!
For someone who is suppose to be slow, dumb, a bimbo and a loser, Sarah Palin really puts the fear of God into the self appointed elitists.
He had his lower jaw removed. He actually looks slightly better than before. He’s been through a lot healthwise the last few years, and I’m glad that so far on this thread no one’s mocked him for his health issue.
BTTT
I could not agree more.
Didn’t Saul Alinsky say you should use the tactics Roger has used here?
So true!
I thought Ebert was dead? Oh, that was the other one. Ebert sure looks dead.
He IS sick.
Has been battling a jaw cancer for five or so years.
And he’s a jerk.
He needs something that he actually can do! Maybe a human sandbag!
I guess people are so worn out on Bush being to blame and evil, i’s time to bring in Hitler. Who’s next? Michelle Bachman is on par with Pontius Pilot?! “She’s just like him, except it’s not Jesus she’s putting on trial for cricifixion, it’s the American people”!
“Roger Ebert is nothing...”
No need to proceed any further.
Roger Ebert appears to be a very angry, unhappy man. Given his serious medical problems that have left him unable to speak or function fully, he appears to be simply lashing out. I enjoyed Siskel and Ebert years ago and am sorry Siskel died and Ebert is now muted, because they were entertaining and sometimes thought-provoking, albeit liberal. Now Roger just sounds cynical and bitter. I just ignore these irrational rantings and wish him peace.
