The vicar of Old North Church says he’s miffed at the “gotcha”-seeking media for twisting Sarah Palin’s stop at the Hub landmark earlier this month into an endless GOP-bashing circus.
Palin continues to be ridiculed for her comments on Paul Revere’s ride, but the Rev. Stephen T. Ayres told the Herald this weekend it’s all a tempest in a Tea Party pot.
“I am amazed that this silly story refuses to die,” he said. “I lament what’s happening to our culture. Everything is reduced to one-upmanship or gotcha.”
Ayres said he feels somewhat responsible because he tutored Palin on the particulars of Revere’s 1775 ride and teen exploits as a bell-ringer at the fabled church. So he has fired back at left-leaning bloggers by penning a post of his own on the church Web site.

Media is public enemy 1,
“Tempest in a Tea Party Pot”. Instant classic. The Vicar is a wise man. Great story.
Born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, ID (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
Charles R Heath, born in ID
Sarah Sheeran, born in WI
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!

With this strange statement the vicar wittingly or unwittingly supports media meme #3 on this story, which is that her answer was incoherent.
Would you please knock it off with the natural born citizen spam? It was cute for about 5 minutes but really needs to go away now.
To the Admin Mod — this guy cut & pastes the same message about Palin being a natural born citizen (see #4) into every thread that contains the word Palin. He’s been doing it for days if not weeks now. I have seen it dozens of times. Other posters have complained about it but this is ignored and the spam posts continue. Just an FYI.
The “one” in the middle is our good Friend Lazamataz who asked to be the one and only “undecided.”

Here's what the AM said previously:
To: ASA Vet; don-o
Thought you would take a hint when we’ve ignored you for days. This is not spam.
Stop with the abuse reports already.

Well, if you’ve got the mods on your side then I’m definitely outvoted. That said, I would urge them to reconsider their position on this because your repeat posts really are annoying, and at this point I don’t see that they’re accomplishing anything.
Their threads are just a vessel to put out the message
Barry isn't a Natural Born Citizen
bttt
Exactly. Your cut & paste posts really have no bearing on the particular thread. They're just there to get your message out. That's pretty much the definition of spam, isn't it?
And that's also why they're annoying. You want to see FReeper comments on the article but you have to scroll past this same off-topic post that you've seen thirty five times before to get to them.
There was a Roman senator in the old Roman Republic days who ended every speech he made, even mundane ones with “Carthage must be Destroyed!” I’m sure there was some old Latinate patrician,(Yardus Sticius...who knows) who complained about having to hear it...”after every speech and epitome, might Jupiter strike him and Venus scorn his libido”
I agree. . they become obnoxious after 40 encounters on different threads. It’s like having somebody with Tourette’s Syndrome sitting next to you in the public library.
When I visited Boston some years ago there were two congregations that met at the Old North Church. I suppose one was the official one.

Thanks for putting your finger on a big part of what makes ASA Vet’s spam posts annoying. I certainly don’t feel entitled to intrude on other FReepers freeping experience by posting my spam to every other thread they read. Nor do 99.99% of other freepers feel so entitled. But for some reason ASA Vet thinks he’s special, like a Roman senator is special. He thinks he’s entitled to make everyone read his spam. Do you see why that’s annoying?
Okay... TWO tricks.
The second trick is defending the first one.
Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen.
I vote to keep it going.
It can not be said too many times.
There are too many people who still “just don’t get it.”
Agreed. These posts are so annoying it makes me want to donate one less dollar to FR every time I see them. It’s like a kid telling a joke once and the polite adults laugh, so the kid then tells it 150 times in a row at the top of his lungs to the same adults. Maybe we can start posting that picture of the girl doing cartwheels with the caption “Look at Me!!! I’m an Attention Whore!!!!” whenever we see these.
