(2,208 posts)I'm not going to deny that for a moment. I think it's disgusting.
I am going to deny that he is the "First President" to ever be disrespected, and therefore every incident of disrespect MUST be because he is African American.
Democratic Underground was practically Nazi Chimp central for almost eight years when Dubya was in office. It was a lot of fun blowing off steam, but it also got a little tiring seeing this image posted twice a week:

It was funny the first 25 times. Then it got to be a little creepy. Because we think we are so much better and more clever than "those on the other side." Sorry, I don't like this tribal attitude of "when they do it they're fucking assholes, but when we do it it's because we're righteous!" Sometimes disrespect is simply disrespect.
Secondly, like every single other person on this forum, except for maybe one or two real news geeks, I had never heard of Neil Munro before he decided to be a douchenozzle. I don't know anything about him, so I can't say with any certainty if his behavior was because he's a racist douchenozzle, or because he's a right-wing, Tucker Carlson-employed, attention-seeking douchenozzle. Time will tell on that one.
I just love this "some of you" shit.
You don't know me.
I got leftie cred to make you look like a piker.
Stop with the "some of you" shit...
