I came here to say things like, "you know who Obama reminds me of? Hitler."

And "Obama needs to shut up and stop campaigning."

And "Obama is pissing all over our Constitution. He's just like Bush."

Why? Because I'm a patriotic american, and attacking our leaders is our civic duty. In fact, Obama would be proud of me saying he's like Hitler. He wants us to criticize him.

Just don't criticize me.

Because that's stifling my first amendment rights. It's mean and uncalled for. It's unamerican, you facist.

Don't point out that all I do is criticize Obama. Or that I never have anything good to say about him. Or that I'm completely unaware of anything his campaign's been doing the last few weeks. Or that I'm completely unaware of any platform positions he's had for months or years.

Don't say I'm carrying Fox New's water for them, even though I've apparently plagiarized my own comments from them.

Don't call it wild hyperbole when I say Obama's tearing up the constitution, and don't call me ignorant even though I express the misbelief that congressional bills can alter or override the Constitution.

Don't point out that my love in the Constitution is limited to attacking Obama, because while I love the 4th amendment, I've made plenty of other comments in other threads that have no understanding of or respect for the 2nd amendment, the 8th amendment, and in a few recent epic failures, the 1st amendment.

Don't point out that there aren't enough votes for a senate filibuster when I demand Obama filibuster. And don't call me stupid because despite my keen interest in politics and my high school diploma, I'm unaware that voting 'present' is not an option in the U.S. Senate, at least not in the same way it works in the Illinois state senate. Oh, but I know all about Illinois, it's a state government I hate becaue of all the corruption and the prohibition-era mobsters. Yeah, see?

Don't attack me for criticizing Obama for going after the moderate vote. Even though I'm apparently a moderate myself, given the unflattering things I've had to say about liberals in unrelated threads.

Don't point out that my favorite primary choice and/or favorite VP pick has the exact same positions Obama. Or that I'll happily re-elect my own senator, who's voting for FISA and isn't even in favor of removing immunity.

Don't point out that when I'm backed into a corner, I sometimes forget which message boards I'm on. And I attack other people as being "you Obama supporters."

Or "you Obamabots."

Or "O-thugs."

And so on.

Like I said, I can dish it out, but not take it.
