To be honest, if the Repubs had not had such a melt down...this speech

[Peacetrain]

would never have been covered.

Now it it getting coverage on the media, as we speak..showing how opposite this President is from the caricature the right has been trying to paint him as.

You know, you just have to get out of the way, when people are so determined to make such idiots of themselves.

So I guess in a strange sense, we owe the crazy loons on the right a big THANK YOU.. because now people will have a more open mind to the Presidents speech on Wednesday.

So my little lemmings on the right... the cliff is right over there.. don't let me get in your way

1. Has it been established that if Obama was a white president we wouldn't be

hearing this shit?

[Peacetrain]

2. For some losers in our society.. oh yeah..make no mistake, racism plays into it

But as an 40 year resident of Iowa, that is as white as it gets.. we were the ones who put the President on the road to the Whitehouse.

3. Well yes. How many people in IA are acting out about this speech. Notice

where the acting out is coming from.
FL
NC
TX
SC

AND...

Putting Obama in the WH in no way ended racism. Shit, it stirred that shit.

[Peacetrain]

5. I know, I know.. The looney right is trying to make a stronghold in those

states. And yes racism plays into it. It is good to expose it. There is a nazi comparison here. Most people do not realize that only 10% of the German people actually belonged to the Nazi party. The rest went along out of fear.

4. They didn't seem quite as upset ....

when Reagan or the elder Bush did exactly the same thing a few POTUS terms ago ....

Hell - Reagan even told the student how important TAX CUTS are to their education .... But it's not like he was plying the nation's youth with ideological planks embraced by his own party or anything like that ...

uh-huh ....

Fucking hypocrites ....

6. GOP has morphed into offshoots of two cartoon characters:

Foghorn Leghorn & Henry the Chicken-hawk :silly:

[Phx_Dem]

7. True, and it makes them look even more extreme and crazy then before.

I didn't think it was possible for them to make themselves look more rabid or crazy than they already did, but they found a way.

[rvablue]

8. Exactly and hopefully some pundits will raise this point because it's true

and it will drive the right nuts!

9. THat's why I watched.

I wanted to see what the big deal was. Why were these folks scared about this speech is beyond me.
