"...I'm sorry if it was misunderstood, I'm not sorry for what I said."

There was no misunderstanding what you said, and your non-apology is noted.

[null and void]

Off hand I’d say thinking little people are out to get you is a symptom of PTSD...

Once again juan... you traitorous pos... I wish that the NVA had just kept your sorry ass.

I’m not entirely sure why being called a hobbit should be considered an insult.

Hobbits had many admirable qualities, their most admirable being an absence of Nietzschean Will to Power.

They were also the primary actors in the overthrow of the Dark Lord.

We could use more hobbits and fewer of those who despise them.

After the hobbits were done with Mordor, they went home, and cleaned up the Shire.

I re-read the chapter "The Scouring of the Shire" a few days ago and found it an inspiration.

An Orc never apologizes to a Hobbit.

“I wish that the NVA had just kept your sorry ass.”

As a staunch conservative and conscientious Christian, I’ve gotta say I find that statement OFFENSIVE!

...just because the NVA was once our enemy is no reason to wish nonsensical campaign finance rules on them.

I wonder if McQueeg was confusing hobbits with troglodytes. If so, I’ll bet he meant the latter. But the term used was used as a slur. He meant to insult.

Senator John McCain is the reason former Senator Barack Obama was elected President. The choice was between a traitor and a Marxist.

“...I'm sorry if it was misunderstood, I'm not sorry for what I said.”

Sen. McCain and Pres. Obama share a common bond: They are spoiled, self-centered brats permanently stuck in a pouty adolescence.

I'd rather be a Hobbit.

[Redleg Duke]

He hasn’t apologized for his pathetic performance in the Presidential campaign...why would he apologize for insulting us?

[Kartographer]

"HOBBITS! We HATES THEM! Don't we my precious."

[COgamer]

I agree... It’s a matter of perspective, I suppose.

Hobbits were the heroes of the tale. Elves were aloof, self-absorbed, and running away. Humans were too busy in-fighting. Dwarves couldn’t be bothered with surface affairs.

Hobbits went on a dangerous quest, with little help from the world at large, facing constant opposition, to strike a blow at the heart of corruption. I’d say there are indeed parallels.

[Steel Wolf]

“Noooo, precious! We hates the Tea!!”

[Little Ray]

Time for Hobbits to Scour the GOP Shire.

[Sopater]

We could use more hobbits and fewer of those who despise them

So, are you saying that he meant it as a compliment? I doubt it. However, it wouldn't be the first time that a small group of people were given a name that was meant to mock them, but became a badge of honor instead. (Christian)

Amen, brother.

“Nay cousin, they are not boys, those are Periain, out of the far country of the Halflings, where they are Princes of great fame it is said. I should know, for I had one to tend in the Houses. They are small, but they are valiant. Why cousin, one of them when with only his esquire into the Black Country and fought with the Dark Lord all by himself, and set fire to his tower, if you can believe it.”
