Dallas Blog

theme music is fantastic. i can only say that the only disappointment i have is there was no fudge.

but it's good to know housing projects are ok as long as they are pretty. breaking news like a champ, that mr. schutze.

Compared to Ms. Crenshaw's passionate, gonzo, semi-literate blog comments, this was way too reasonable and articulate, and much less entertaining.

Duh, that was me above.

The Steinke leg.

yes please no derogatory comments about Jews. No other group touts it's own superiority, power and influence while vetching at their own powerlessness, and victimization.

Let's see, how many people know that today is the first day of Ramadan despite the fact that there are as many Muslims in this country as Jews? How many know about Passover coming.

That said, few know that Jews go camping for Purim. I guess that isn't something to beat your chest about like some of the other things.

How many fathers have sexually assaulted their own children in this country? Yet, one story of a Muslim father's misdeeds have been regular headlines at FOX. Yet, when Rabbis traffic organs from Israel to this country, we suppress the story--especially the Rabbi angle.

Boy, I sure hope the poor aggrieved Jews can get a fair shake. They and the poor oppressed White Male. Please, let's help the rich and enfranchised. Their full immersion propaganda campaign is not enough, they need our active support and we shall never dissent.

Great stuff. Some postscript review stuff:

> The next time anyone tries to make Sandra Crenshaw look like a clueless fool, I'm TIVO-ing this hot new series!

> Per conjugating local geo-verbiage: Wincing to see Oak Cliff labeled 'South Dallas'. (Guessing~~~ Oak Lawn/Uptown's gonna be called 'West Dallas' since it's west of East Dallas.)

Ready for Part 2 of the new public access cult series: Sorta Ebony and Semi Ivory Tinkling Keys to the City.

Ugh, I can rite good I think my brain has just shut down on this lazy Saturday afternoon. Ironic since I a am being critical of Sandra's writing skills.

Echoing previous comments here, Sandra seems reasonable, informed and articulate in the video but almost everything I have seen her write comes off as, well, crazy.

Sandra, have you considered taking a writing class? I mean that in the nicest, most constructive way possible. I think you would really benefit from some help in learning to express your feelings and thought process on paper because what I have seen you write comes of completely differently than what I see in this video.

I have to say watching this video has completely changed my view of you, your beliefs and positions. As someone that has taken a keen interest in zoning cases I hope that you keep me in mind when you need help in the future. I can't say that I will be able to support your position or help but I might be able to. From what I have seen in this video I think we may hold similar stances on cases in the future.

Anonymous has a point.

Few people in the US - one of the largest Muslim countries in the world - are aware of how many of the Muslim LGBT community wake up on ice in the bathtub minus a kidney.

I think Anonymous is just cranky 'cause he's hungry. It was the first day of Ramadan, after all.

Casie,
Thanks for stepping out behind those initials.
My complaint is that anonymous posts -- and that's what any post bearing anything less than a full correct name is -- do not further the debate but drive it deeper into the dark territory of rant and hatred.
I am for free, open public debate. There can be no open debate when the debaters cloak their identity. That isn't democracy. That is the faceless shout from a mob.

I guess many of this forum's reasers are easily offended. I see the majority of these comments more as humor and poking a little finger in the ribs of some previous commentary and political correctness.

If you make fun of an aggrieved group or persons because of their membership in that group it might be deserving of some criticism. However, to use a little humor to deflate the pompous or point out the folly of some views one might find a little or a lot outrageous makes this whole Observer blog entertaining and informative.

Ms Chenshaw I have read and enjoyed you posts even though it seems your grammar and spelling need checking. Your writing sometimes is less effective as the result of high emotion and impatience. It's not too hard for me to get the gist of what you say and sometimes I wish you would say more.

You occasionally drop hints that you have knowledge of some deviousness we should all know about yet you don't follow through with any substance regarding such.

I too ramble, make typos and screw up my writing but have found using frequent paragraph breaks helps.

What is is with black people and Jews with paragraph breaks anyway?

There can be no open debate when the debaters cloak their identity.

As for Sandra Crenshaw, this video was a revelation. I pictured an unhinged semiliterate crazy woman. She's none of those things. (Well, she's a woman.)

Seriously, Sandra: Get some sort of writing instruction.

The guy with the antisemitic rant would almost certainly never have posted that under his real name, but I guarantee you he meant it. People are more candid, not less, when they're anonymous. Also less civil, but there you are.
