Pray for Obama—Psalm 109:8

[Gonad the Barbarian]

The race card being played here is pretty neat too. Don't like Obama??? RACIST!!!

You of all people know that's NOT is what's being said. At least not about all who simply "don't like" Obama. And Bush had two very busy terms to earn his vitriol.

Just one of many I could have posted. Lot's of visuals for those with short attention spans - no reading necessary.

I think it's funny. Then again when the Dems did it to Bush I chuckled too. The hand wringing is ironic. It's not that a President was reviled, but that the President is Obama.

I'm no respecter of any politician. They'll deal I'm sure.

Spot on. If you take the full context of the psalms, it's absurd, but if you specifically reference psalm 109:8, it's a good choice.

How many pictures comparing Bush to a monkey we see and laugh at? That was fine because it was Bush... now people make fun of the new president and some start whining.

Yes it was fine because it was Bush. He was 1) a monkey face, and 2) a monkey brain. Considering how he fucked this country over he owed us some laughs.

Ok, that's fine, but a lot of people have the same opinion of Obama. What makes it wrong when they do it, but OK when you do it?

Really, you don't see a difference here? Bush earned every bit of the crap slung at him over the course of eight years. I'm sure Obama will earn a fair amount throughout his term(s) as well, but he simply has not had the time or even done enough that could warrant the amount of hatred being directed towards him.

Which is your opinion. But I forgot, yours is the only one that counts.

8 > .85 is not opinion. I feel like I'm living in a nation of retards where warmongering is more admirable than trying to make healthcare available and affordable.

And I feel like I'm in a nation of retards who think it's okay to take from me and give to someone else without my permission because they feel they are "entitled" to something.

would it be a useful exercise to link to all the times anandtech members posted "death to bush" or the equivalent
liberals loved it when bush was in office, now conservatives have to "stay classy"

It's all clear now. You're just a child. Aren't cartoons still on Saturday mornings? Why don't you go ask your mommy if you can watch them?

It happened, I myself probably made a similar remark, but kinda slyly or passive aggressive. Like comments related to the Pretzel. However, Direct Threats have been a Vacationable and/or Bannable offense for quite some time.

Religion of Peace, lol

Without the context of violence you ring hallow.

Unnecessary in this case. The Desire and Intent is certainly there, it is just unfortunate for them that there's no Old Man listening to their Prayers to actually make it happen.

You've had more and will have more taken from you for waging war than reforming health care ever will. Thanks for reinforcing my point.

Please explain what the war has cost me, personally. Not over generalized sweeping sensational stuff please.

Nevertheless, people are entitled to their opinions. I don't agree with this so called health care reform, and I certainly didn't agree with Iraq.

The point is that when stones are tossed at people instead of policies then you can expect them to be hurled back. You'll note I never called Bush names, and neither do I do it with Obama. The policies are the only thing worth debating.

To become outraged when what goes around comes around doesn't make much sense to me. It isn't you that gets to decide what the other side finds acceptable, nor was it theirs when you disliked the Republicans. It is what it is, and we can (and will) argue about many different things, however claiming the moral high ground in either case really dosen't wash.

 

[JulesMaximus]

They're not explicitly calling him a n*****, but there's still plenty of good old fashioned racism behind a lot of this hate.

I agree 100%.

Whether Bush "deserved" it or not is a matter of opinion. Regardless, making fun of him was/is considered fine. Obama has, in his short tenure so far, done plenty of things that people can be upset about. Making fun of him is perfectly fine, just as it was perfectly fine during the GWB years.

Wrong. Health care changes will affect me and my family directly and forever in matters of life and death. I was and am against the war because I never believed the reasons behind going to war, but that doesn't change the fact that it's effect on the me personally is not significant.

 

[dmcowen674]

Classy and GOP cannot be usaed in the same sentence.

That's for sure as evidenced in here alone.

this is so laughable.

lol, trillions for war i didn't want = fine. significantly less to try and keep me from from being excluded from health care coverage = SOCIALISM!

[umbrella39]

And I feel like I'm in a nation of retards...
