Obama faces most vile insults ever- has nothing to do with race?

[CrusaderFrank]

^ here's why we have no respect for the scumbag in the Oval Office

Had Bill Richardson kicked Obama in the ass right here I would have volunteered for the Richardson 08 campaign

Lol.....and? bush=hitler, kill bush placards etc. Frankie is still dealing with his chronic amnesia....er hack hack.

seriously, the butt hurt and hypocrisy from the far left is hilarious....far worse was said about bush, but they don't care

have to desperately play the race card and basically state that obama can't take it because he is black and we must treat him different. many dems are racist in this regard.

 

[jknowgood]

LOL, libtards forget how Bush was treated. obama gets softballs compared to that.

Bush had a 90% approval rating after America was attack on 9-11. Democrats, Republican it didn't matter, we were all Americans. It wasn't until he morphed America's anger after those attacks into the invasion and occupation of Iraq and the American people finally found out that the war was based on a false premise that they began to turn on him. When Americans were attacked on Obama's watch, the GOP couldn't try and morph that into political capital fast enough, they never once tried to come together.

Which attack are you talking about? The work place violence, or the demonstration over a video against muslims. The American people won't stand behind a liar, and we were lied to both times.

What a pile of dung. Democrats seeing the exact same intel voted for those wars, you libs love to pick what you want and make hay of it. WMD were found, the lies are all yours. You guys can't change a tune you loved for so long.

Bush got HAMMERED every day all day for unemployment numbers, gas prices 9both much better than today), war for oil, ignoring Karina, housing crisis and pretty much everything not right in the country. obama in comparison gets fluffed up and polished by the media, nothing is EVER his fault.

The leftists don't grasp that there is an internet, and every vile thing they threw at Bush is recorded forever.

Franco thinks that if he lies, the past will magically alter itself to match his lie. Most leftists think that way, that there is no reality, only a reflection of their wishes.

They were nowhere near as omnipresent, were based on facts that were reaction to his incredible incompetence and catastrophe in all respects- you believe cherry picked examples were typical, misinformed chumps of the greedy idiot rich. Obama has been successful despite never ending, mindless Pub obstruction and bs fear mongering, after they wrecked the country and the world. A disgrace. You too, hater dupes- a world laughingstock and horror..

You are an even bigger idiot than I'd previously thought.

Impossible, or you haven't been paying attention to him for the last 3 years.

I don't know man but it seems that every time I think that this is the dumbest thing Franco can say, he lowers the bar.

He's a progressive. He believes that if you tell a lie long enough and loudly enough, it becomes truth.

 

[Rozman]

Has more to do with the fact that Obama is a bit thinned skinned...
Everywhere he has gone in his life he has had adoring fans following him and praising his every move.
Look at Valerie Jarrett for god's sake.

And if you are critical he freaks because for the life of him he can't understand how anyone
could possibly disagree with him.

Perhaps you should go back and read what Lincoln was called?

 

[Uncensored2008]

Obama will come out soon. Once he does, any criticism of him, regardless of how minor, will be met with hysteria that makes Franco appear lucid.

 

[Uncensored2008]

How was Bush treated?

Lets compare

You haven't lived up to your last challenge- troll boi.

The lies about him, though, are endless and come from the top (Pubs, pundits) down to brainwashed ignoramuses....because they have to be distracted from Pub stands on the issues which just pander to the rich and giant corporations. see sig.

But no president in our nation's history has ever been castigated, condemned, mocked, insulted, derided and degraded on a scale even close to the constantly ugly attacks on Obama. From the day he assumed office — indeed, even before he assumed office — he was subjected to unprecedented insults in often the most hateful terms.


Obama and respect for America
He has been accused of being a "secret Muslim" and born in Kenya, of being complicit with the Muslim Brotherhood, of wearing a ring bearing a secret verse from the Quran, of having once been a Black Panther, of refusing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, of seeking to confiscate all guns, of lying about just about everything he has ever said, ranging from Benghazi to the Affordable Care Act to immigration, of faking Osama bin Laden's death and of funding his campaigns with drug money.

It goes on and on and on. Even the president's family is treated by his political enemies with disrespect and disdain.

• Doc McGee The author has to look no further than these comments to prove his premise. It is not possible to have discussions on race with white Americans when so few of you know just how racist you really are.

If one browses even respectable websites, one can readily find bumper stickers, coffee cups and T-shirts for sale with such messages as: "Dump This Turd" (with an image of Obama); "Coward! You Left Them To Die in Benghazi" (with an image of Obama); "Somewhere in Kenya A Village Is Missing Its Idiot" (with an image of Obama); "Islam's Trojan Horse" (with an image of Obama); "Pure Evil" (with an image of Obama); "I'm Not A Racist: I Hate His White Half Too" (with an image of Obama); "He Lies!" (with an image of Obama); and on and on and on.

Now don't get me wrong. Every one of these messages is protected by the First Amendment, and people have a right to express their views, even in harsh, offensive, cruel and moronic ways. We the People do not need to trust or admire our leaders, and we should not treat them with respect if we don't feel they deserve our respect. But the sheer vituperation directed at this president goes beyond any rational opposition and is, quite frankly, mind-boggling.


In part, of course, this might just be a product of our times. Perhaps the quality of our public discourse has sunk so low that any public official must now expect such treatment. Perhaps any president elected in 2008 would have been greeted with similar scorn and disdain. But, to be honest, that seems unlikely.

Of course, there are those who say that this phenomenon is due in part, perhaps in large part, to the fact that Obama is African-American. But surely racism is dead in America today, right?

One fact that might lend some credence to the theory that racism has something to do with the tenor of the attacks on Obama is that only one other president in our history has been the target of similar (though more subdued) personal attacks.

In his day, this president was castigated by the press and his political opponents as a "liar," a "despot," a "usurper," a "thief," a "monster," a "perjurer," an "ignoramus," a "swindler," a "tyrant," a "fiend," a "coward," a "buffoon," a "butcher," a "pirate," a "devil" and a "king." He was charged with being "cunning," "thickheaded," "heartless," "filthy" and "fanatical." He was accused of behaving "like a thief in the night," of being "the miserable tool of traitors and rebels," and of being "adrift on a current of racial fanaticism."

He was labeled by his enemies "Abraham Africanus the First."

But, of course, race had nothing to do with it then either.

Unfortunately, liable and slander against the president and his family has become acceptable. With each president, it increases. It helps keep the country divided.

It wasn't until he morphed America's anger after those attacks into the invasion and occupation of Iraq and the American people finally found out that the war was based on a false premise that they began to turn on him. When Americans were attacked on Obama's watch, the GOP couldn't try and morph that into political capital fast enough, they never once tried to come together.

That lasted about 5 hours, then democrats went on the attack.

In reality it was when the public realized there were no new WMD programs threatening us.

It was long before that.

 

[BluesLegend]

After what the left and MSM did to president Bush and the colossal double standard they have gifted to Obama they have some nerve pointing any fingers.

 

[Tuckwolf]

If the media treats Obama the way they did Bush. He would already be impeached.

Wow! I didn't realize Bush had been impeached and I certainly didn't realize the media had the power to impeach a sitting President. This is indeed a fresh perspective! It changes everything.

Besides, it wasn't like the DNC controlled media was advocating for war crimes charges against Bush - and they certainly wouldn't lie through their fucking teeth that Bush couldn't travel outside the USA for fear of arrest......
