Bill Maher: What Is it About Obama That Makes Republicans Go Ape@!$%# to His Face? (Hint: Racism)

You don't think it's sad that he's "had" to be the Jackie Robinson of politics, more than 60 years after Jackie Robinson had to be the Jackie Robinson of baseball?

I blame it on the kind of trash the teabaggers elect to public office. They want someone who "speaks for them", but unfortunately they have no understanding that when their emissaries have the manners and dignity of pigs, that it reflects their values and intelligence. It's certain that they won't be reading this, afterall it is reading, but my apologies go out to any pigs who may resent the comparison.

your are correct... IT's RACISM.. I mean just because Obama Proved to be a sucess and recoverd the economy to back to where it was before Bush collapsed it..

I mean what other reason beside racism is there to call him the annoited one??

YES Republthugs, it's time to pull your heads out of your backsides and give Obama a resounding SECOND TERM in november.. YES Friends.. IT's RACISM to want our country BACK to pre-civil rights.. and be on with this presidential success...

there.. I fixed it for ya..!!

What? Just what are you giving Obama credit for? I mean when I attended civics class -- I recall being told CONGRESS enacted the necessary legislation. The two wars our late and unlamented Village Idiot (a.k.a. George W. Bush) messed up our economy. Along with the Democrats who had control of BOTH Houses of Congress --- refusing to reign in Wall Street and Big Business. You want to apportion blame -- Let's try a bit of HONESTY when you do.

My calling that Kenyan Village Idiot "the annointed one" is because the damned news media was pushing Obama at us from the minute he won his Senatorial seat -- as America's First Black Prez. Of course I despise Obama fully as much as George W. -- Neither one was worth a bucket of warm cow manure as president.

I predict on Election Day, Obama is NOT going to have the cakewalk for a second term you liberals expect and hope for. Liberals tend to forget the obvious -- that Obama owed his win to one key fact: That the opposition was the McCain-Palin combo. That voting Obama in was pretty much trying to pick the better of two impossibly bad choices.

Any further comments, Jim420 -- or do you want to revert back to your racism fairy tale?

Why is it that the Tea Party demagogues always appear on Newsvine with screen names like.....

• TheTruthOnly
• RealFacts
• Americanpatriot12
• etc.

They seem desperate to validate their own credibility with some assertion that they are the sole voice of truth through their screen name. As if that alone confers superiority. Every time I see one of these presumptive screen names I get a chuckle.

On the other side, are people with screen names like Jim420 or Donna3465. Just names that aren't trying to convey some sense of more patriotic, or more factual, or more truthful than thou.

And the grandiose screen names are almost always tied to "conservative" minds.

I wonder why?

too late, as

My calling that Kenyan Village Idiot "

you never left the racism behind..... you want to try again.??

either Shrub is to blame or the GOP congress, the Dems have worked to fix things they screwed up, and have been hindered by the GOP every step of the way...

You want to apportion blame -- Let's try a bit of HONESTY when you do.

Clearly, a mirror is a far more appropriate place to state those words.

Mofongo, I have noticed the same trend you pointed out. They then get nasty on their re-reg names. My thought is they erroneously think they are the last bastion of patriotism or that's all they have, i.e. no brains.

Because of the old truism on "patriotism" and who it is ALWAYS the final refuge of.

I find it's ALWAYS the flagwavers who are the least knowledgeable about the thing they think they are so "patriotic" about.

ryoushi12, true. I made a joke once on a thread about how President Obama bashers should take all the bull@!$%# one liners and number them so as to save keystrokes when they comment. Like 'Obama is a Marxist' could be #1 and so forth. All they had to type was #1 and we would know what they meant. The bashers did not think much of it.

If Obama is a patsy, I'm sure you can direct us to credible evidence about who is really in charge and will benefit from the destruction of America

I am interested in how you reacted to Grocer Norquist saying we don't need a President who can think. We only need one with 5 working fingers to sign conservative legislation sent by a Republican dominated Congress. As a Republican do you agree this is the kind of President America needs?

Possible re-reg sighting in post #6.

Do not feed.

Fussy, you are in a dream world!

LOL.

What makes rank and file rightists excoriate Obama for not doing things they didn't want him to do in the first place? That's real hate.
