Listen, I came here to dish it out. Not take it.
Edited on Wed Jul-09-08 10:40 AM by Bornaginhooligan
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.

4. My favorite was the reply to the person who had the temerrity to compare
Obama to FDR and then say that FDR would never have sanctioned such action against the 4th Ammendment. Vile and hateful comments were poured onto the head of the OP for making such a reference.


While I am of the opinion that FDR was the best President in the history of the Union his adherence to the 4th ammendment was somewhat non existent.


Besides his ill fated effort to pack the Court FDR happily rounded up tens of thousands of innocent mainland Americans of Japanese descent robbed them of all of their assets and put them into cocentration camps and never showed any remorse for it. (Americans of Japanese descent in Hawaii - where there had been a small but effective spy ring were left untouched.)

Even FDR, the liberal bastion, failed in some major areas. Maybe we should have impeached him?

20. Don't forget to claim that someone sitting at a keyboard far, far away is somehow
preventing you from expressing yourself freely merely by typing out "oh, shut up".

That must be one mighty "oh, shut up" if it has the power to remove your hands from the keyboard and prevent you from typing out "Obama sux."

21. DU please crack down on the anti-Obama threads.
We are passed the point of influencing each other.
I need help talking to my co-workers.

Twice yesterday I heard "It doesn't matter who wins because they are all the same", this is the M$M linchpin.

McCain is going to win as of now, and we must defeat him (he really is going to win).
Stop helping McCain, he cannot win without your help. (Has he ever done anything on his own, HELL NO.)

Lets crack down on the McCain supporters.

25. you're one of the most aggressive bullies on this board.
Don't think because you can pick out a few quotes that the vast overwhelming amount of criticism of Obama is anything like those few choice bits.

But that would require HONESTY and FAIRNESS in framing your OP, wouldn't it? Not exactly your forte.

But hey, who am I to tell you what to write or not write? Don't let reality get in the way of your cherry picking!

But apparently they didn't catch the bit about not making a fool out of yourself and being a hypocrite. Because they showed up on my thread, which totally wasn't about them as far as I know, to call me an "aggressive bully."

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.

OH! AND DON'T CALL ME CRAZY FOR POSTING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EXPECTING A DIFFERENT OUTCOME EVERY TIME!

76. Have You Ever Heard Of 'Stan Mack Funnies', Sir?
A wickedly barbed comic: it used to run in the Village Voice, and carried the sub-title, "All dialog guaranteed overheard verbatum"....

81. Can't say I have.
But footnotes are the first thing I look for in Tom Tomorrow cartoons.

86. Well-said. And well-reinforced by the exactly-quoted misspellings.
And, as you so well wrapped up your post with, "And so on."

Amazing, now that the primaries are over, so see that stuff on DU. But so it goes.
