GOP say Obama hate isn't about race. Obviously it is personal. So what is it?

[PredFan]

Has anyone pointed out the strawman that is the OP yet? I'm too lazy to search this whole thread.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I dont believe blacks actually support Democrats in the numbers alleged, I think Dem inner city vote manufacturing machines account for half of the black Democrat "Support"

A lot of times you'll have addresses in Democrat inner cities with more registered voters than tenants.

Hate from day one? Where do you come up with this nonsense? Barack Obama came into office with one of the highest approval ratings ever, Deanie. It wasn't until his AGENDA became clearer to the American people that his popularity declined.

Actually, Bush was extremely hated from day one. rdean is merely projecting what he thought of Bush. Bush then became the most popular President because of 9/11. His opposition was afraid to be honest about what they thought of him.

We don't have that problem with honesty.

United States presidential approval rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is why we have the Internet. Becuase some facts are kept.

Out of the last 12 presidents, 9 had higher ratings than Obama.

The president with the highest ratings of all, at 90%, was George W. Bush. TA DAH!

Polls are taken from date collected from the American people, Wadd. You are saying the American people were so "afraid" that they supported the president even when they didn't want too because they were so "scared" and "wimpy"?

You fool.

You're a bigger tool than I thought. Hilarious.

Yes. Those on the left were afraid to say they were against President Bush after 9/11

It's called patriotism. Wingnuts don't have a lock on it.

 

[JoeB131]

Absolutely not. This is 150% untrue. Nothing the GOP did set up Clinton for success. Quite the opposite. George HW Bush went into Somalia with no real idea what to do there. And it was up to Clinton to clean up the mess.


.

Now, this simply isn't true. The mission that Bush had in Somalia was a success. His mission was to get the food to the relief stations, and hand it off to the United Nations. This was done and all the troops were out of there by April 1993.

It was when Clinton ordered troops back in there after the UN started and failed to do nation building did you have Blackhawk Down and all the other nonsense.

What doesn't pass the "laugh" test is the new normal in congress. Every bill now needs 60 votes in the senate. Forget the house..it's filled with nuts elected by the 2010 wave of real deal insane people. Congress has openly stated they have no interest in making policy or governing. They have one goal, and that is to make Obama a one term President. And it looks as if that is going to backfire in a very major way.

Actually, Obama is probably on his way out. Nobody get re-elected with a 40% approval rating.

 

[rdean]

Yes. Those on the left were afraid to say they were against President Bush after 9/11

And uh, who were they afraid of?

Unless he's going against a Republican with an 8% approval rating.

I guess the obama administration has done great things for African Americans considering that unemployment among that demographic is around 16% overall and much, much higher in concentrated urban areas.


And of course the Bush administration appointed African Americans to more important positions than any other in US history.

Since you referred to "blacks" in general, go hop a flight to sub-saharan Africa and ask them how they feel about President Bush and what he did for them.

Too bad he did not do more for Americans.

You a racist?

No, I am a realist.

 

[Wicked Jester]

So what is it? Why do Republicans hate this man so much? They will say, "It's because he's done so much bad". Bush did so much worse and no one hates him they way the right hates Obama. And they can't even name the bad. It's all weird nebulous things like, "He's a communist" or "He lies" or "He's bad for the country". Just sound bytes. Little talking points. Even when he made an agreement for BP to pay 20 billion to clean up their mess, the right's hatred is so great, they were on the side of BP. 11 men died. The gulf was flooded with oil. But it was Obama's fault. Their hatred doesn't even make sense.

And when you point that out, they scream you are a partisan hack for defending the president. Why all this hate? Deep and personal?

are you fucking serious?...........Geezus Dean you must be Laughing so hard when you type this shit your actually crying.....

No shit, HD........And look at all the loony lefties who crawled out of the woodwork......Fuckin' hilarious.

Lefties aren't good for much, but they are entertaining lil' ignorant shits.

 

[Mr.Nick]

If it isn't race, then what is it?

You look at the Republican Party. 90% white and mostly based in the south. The southern conservatives give it a very strong "confederate background". But the right wingers say this intense hatred of this man isn't about race.

And make no mistake about it. This is very intense and deeply personal hatred from the gut. There is no mild dislike or disagreement. This is deep hated. The kind where you want the object of your hate to suffer. The hate is so great, they are willing to see terrible damage done to the country.

----------------------------------------------------

A quote from Paul Whitefield:

On the foreign-policy front, the administration has had a string of successes: Osama bin Laden killed; major Al Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen killed; and this week, of course, Moammar Kadafi killed.
And on Friday, the president announced that all U.S. troops will be out of Iraq by year’s end.
An unpopular war will be officially over for us soon. Terrorists and terrorist groups that threaten us are dead or on the run. Libya’s longtime strongman has been overthrown, thanks in part to Obama’s policy that had the U.S. and NATO working together.

-----------------------------------------------

You see, without Republican obstructionism, Obama is pretty successful.

The vast majority of American want the jobs bill, they want taxes increased on billionaires, they want investment in American infrastructure, they want teachers and police and firefighters. They even want Americans to have health care.

But when Obama suggests any of these things, the right is against them. Look at Libya. First they screamed that he should be involved. Then when he was, they screamed he shouldn't be.

The hatred is so great, the right is on auto pilot. They go against anything Obama.

They can't even give him credit for taking out Bin Laden. Nothing.

The stories about him are incredible. The hate is so great, they make up anything they can think up. Even things like, "He's the anti Christ". Something at least a quarter of Republicans believe. Even now, you will have right wingers endlessly repeating debunked stories. They just have to believe he's this wicked. Otherwise, the hatred seems based on race.

So what is it? Why do Republicans hate this man so much? They will say, "It's because he's done so much bad". Bush did so much worse and no one hates him they way the right hates Obama. And they can't even name the bad. It's all weird nebulous things like, "He's a communist" or "He lies" or "He's bad for the country". Just sound bytes. Little talking points.

Obama is an authoritarian socialist....... I'm a capitalist....

I don't care what color he is...

That's a 'Yes.' Fuck you, racist.

Yeah, says the progressive loon who no doubt thinks Afghanistan is in the middle east.

The biggest failure of 'progressive' geography is believing that everything on the far left is 'center.'

Oh bullshit. They were never pulled out. They were ordered in weeks before Clinton took office.
