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

[Listening]

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.

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 always escalates whenever a Republican is president.

According to Pub propaganda...of course, when one is so incompetent and corrupt he allows 9/11, lies to have the longest stupidest wars ever, and causes a world depression, you might just have some angry people lol. Based on facts, not bs. Plus Obama has been a success in the minds of everyone but brainwashed chumps The new bs/hate GOP is a disgrace, and so are you fools. DUH.

Who argues that Bush wasn't bad.....

Who argues that Obama isn't worse....

Answer to 1.....partisan fools

Answer to 2.....partisan fools.

More idiocy cherry picked by the Pub propaganda machine that hater dupes think was typical. So where where the Dem pols and pundits saying this kind of hatespeak like Rush, Beck, Savage, Levin, West, Cruz, Palin, Bachman etc etc etc. do every day?

Every party has a few angry extremists, but Pubs are run by them and include a majority of brainwashed blind hate functional morons...like you dupes. Ain't it great the way greedy idiot billionaires supply you with all this incredibly divisive bs hate A-V propaganda, dunce?

You are nothing more than a simpleton who can't put his arms around the fact that people look at Obama and see a huge failure.

If this country has been successful, it has been in spite of him.

He has lost huge chunks of congress because of his ineptness.

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

So disrespect for Bush makes it OK to disrespect Obama?

There was a time not to long ago when Americans, regardless of their politics, rallied ’round their president. Once elected, the man who won the White House was no longer viewed as a Republican or Democrat, but the president of the United States. The president speaks for the nation and represents America throughout the world. In reality, you can't disrespect the person without disrespecting the office.

When Bush was declared a liar, a fool, and a murderer by the opposition, do we really believe that didn't bolster the hatred toward America in the Middle East? Conservative websites claim Obama will provide food stamps, welfare, medical care, jobs, and open boarders to would be illegal immigrants. Do we think they aren't listening?

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with the president and debating the issues but we need to draw the line at naming calling, lies, and vicious personal attacks on the president and his family. It really doesn't hurt the president but it certainly hurts the nation.

I have long argued that anyone in his right mind would not run for office given the kind of crap they have to go through.

We scare a lot of people off (at many levels) because of this nastiness.

I wonder what kind of greatness won't even bother to engage because they are not interested in being drug through the mud.

His pathetic performance is enough.

Franco is an idiot. He gets his ass handed to him every time he posts a thread. Being an idiot, it never stops him from doing it over and over.

Only in bizarro Pubworld lol...

No, pretty much everywhere franco.

Now,Tell me franco, do think the 2012 election results were good ?

Dems and indies didn't turn out, disgusted with politics. 2016 will be different- and 22 Pub senators up...

...and you LOVE 2012 when only 37.1 % turned out

With each president, the attacks and lies seem to escalate. Bush certainly endured more than Clinton and Obama is enduring more than Bush. If a Republican wins the presidency, I'm sure it will be payback time for Democrats. At some point it has to stop; it's helping to drive a wedge through the country and hurting us abroad.

People might just wise up to the fact that we'd be better off not depending on the president to do much except what the constitution states he (and congress) should be doing.

They can then focus on trashing their governors (who might live in the same city as they do).

So how did you decipher that from my words? I didn't use tricky language. I was making fun of the libtards. They spewed vitriol about Bush nonstop, now the remember none of it.

That's not true. The shit flew hot and heavy since day one. John Adams had such a hard time he created the Sedition Act. Jefferson was accused of all kinds of things and they didn't even know about his slave love. Hamilton died in a dual from the former secretary of treasury. Lincoln, well you could write a book about what he went through. It's been nonstop but the left is thin skinned, they LOVE to dish it out and can't take it. They loved hating Bush and they've been looking for a surrogate every since. For a while Palin filled the bill. The next Republican president will surely get more of the same.

When Bush was declared a liar, a fool, and a murderer by the opposition, do we really believe that didn't bolster the hatred toward America in the Middle East? Conservative websites claim Obama will provide food stamps, welfare, medical care, jobs, and open boarders to would be illegal immigrants. Do we think they aren't listening?

Illegals ARE getting our money! And Feinstein has absolutely given the ME whack jobs more ammo.

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with the president and debating the issues but we need to draw the line at naming calling, lies, and vicious personal attacks on the president and his family. It really doesn't hurt the president but it certainly hurts the nation.

But the left only calls for it when their guy is in office.
