I LOVE this argument from the Republicans. That somehow Obama passing legislation he campaigned on is provoking violence. Its like they actually know how emotionally retarded and overreactive their constituents have become. it is akin to a zookeeper saying "Dont taunt my monkeys or they will fling poo at you"

Phil Herup: Yeah, he's "cool" alright.

Cooler than a pissed off dentist.

"It's a sad day when the President of the United States uses taxpayer dollars to fly to an aircraft carrier in a theatrical stunt ridiculing and provoking those citizens who disagreed with whom his war, but this is what we get when the 'cowboy' wins."

"He is implying that Obama only won because he was "popular" and that the majority of those who voted for him did so for exceptionally superficial reasons. It couldn't possibly be that people voted for him for his policies, but because he was "popular."

That is quite demeaning.

And when you consider how many people said they liked Bush, not for policy, but because he seemed like a guy you could go sit down and have a beer with (and how right-wing pundits drove this notion of "he's one of us so he's cool to vote for" home)... it's really frustrating."

mofomisfit: Republicat: Obama surely miscalculated on this health-insurance reform business. He thought we'd take it easy after the bill was passed.

Thats not going to happen. We're not going to get over it. Some liberals may want the government to handle everything while they live their life in the fast lane. Me? Not so much. The Bible tells me that the Anti-christ will provide for my physical needs but keep me from Salvation! Can't you see this, people! The government is the anti-christ!

I'm not going to risk my soul and eternal heartache tonight because some desperado in the White House wants to drag me to damnation.

Too easy so soon after the rap theme in the other thread.

I had a rough night and I farkin' hate The Eagles, man.

JoJoTheIdiotMonkeyBoy: Why do the Republicans keep saying Obama needs to stop provoking people? They've spent the last two years trying to whip their base into an angry frenzy of idiots. Obama and the other Democrats haven't done anything

Is this some kind of veiled threat? Is this one of those things like, "Hey, I'm not saying anyone's going to take a swing at you, I'm just saying you're asking for it"?

Are Republicans looking for an excuse to do harm to politicians? "I was provoked, your honor! That's why I had to kill the senator and his family!"

I suppose only time will tell.

Obamba hijacked the federal deficit, and you call that nothing?

Dems have done more damages in the few months theyve been in power then anything you dems think Republicans could come up with.

When Obama dresses up in scrubs and pretends to come out of surgery holding a scalpel in his bloody hands to celebrate the passage of health care reform in order to taunt the Tea Baggers, get back to me.

"Go for it!"

/provocative arrogant snot

The "cool" guy? You mean the guy that won the popular vote? The popular vote meaning the majority of votes in the United States?

Why do you hate democracy so much?

All2morrowsparTs: You do realize that Tea Baggers are the vast MINORITY in this country and most of those are complaining about big government while they take big government handouts like Medicare and SS.

That's exactly what I've been trying to point out all along. They are a tiny minority, no matter how much Fox News tries to change that fact. They have convinced themselves that they have the numbers to force their views on the rest of us with threats of revolution. Good luck with that. If they ever get stupid enough to actually try something like that they will quickly find out just how few of them there actually are.

Didn't Bush at least fly an airplane at one time?

For rugged individualists, you conservatives can really be a bunch of pussies.

Fark rejected my link for this, because it hates me, but Bloomberg did a poll that pretty much shows what you already knew:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=aLBZwxqgYgwI

Basically, 90% of Teabaggers think that the Gummin't is turning socialist and too big, and gettin' in the way o' honest business...

...and 70% of same think a better role would be, you know, reining in Wall Street, getting everyone jobs, and shoring up Medicare and such.

Only 10% were able to identify the V.A. -- as the only Government-Run health care, in that the government employs the docs, owns the facilities, and pays for everthing, as "socialist." 12% felt that national parks and museums qualified as "socialist," and about a 1/3 that Medicare and Medicaid, being single-payer health insurance plans, are such.

Who possibly could have imagined that all this anger at socialism health care that will destroy our republic's great history of freedom and the constitution and knee-length skirts might be... anger at... I don't know... a certain President that don't look like all the uthern Presidents?

Note: I'm not calling them all racist. I'm sure there's plenty of ageism, anti-intellectualism, paranoid senility and whatever the term is when old people are racist but, because it's kind of cute the way they use those old-timey slurs and offer exceptions for Wayne Brady and the nice special-needs boy what helps with the bags at the market, we call it something else, too...

Phil Herup: Yeah.... he looks "cool" here too.

I don't know if someone as manly as Hannity should really be commenting on other men's manliness...

I'm sad that he isn't going state to state with my tax dollars and giving republican congressmen wedgies.

Phil Herup: Yeah.... he looks "cool" here too.

This is what the Republicans have: death threats and "Obama throws like a girl LOLZERCOASTERS!"

RockIsDead: "Go for it!"

/provocative arrogant snot

At least he didn't tell armed enemies of the state to "bring it on" against our soldiers.

Sarah, don't you have a reality show to do or something?

RockIsDead: "Go for it!"

/provocative arrogant snot

Yes, NRO, the political opposition disagrees with you. Shocking.

Here:

"Liberals Conservatives claim to want to give a hearing to don't believe in other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views."

That's right.
I despise Bush but he did at least get a cushy guard position to avoid serving in Vietnam.
Which is more than most of the chicken hawks did.

He has played more rounds of golf in 1 1/2 years than Bush did in 8. Michael Moore pissed himself everytime Bush played 18. Is he doing the same now? Why or why not?

Pincy: Sarah, don't you have a reality show to do or something?

Phil Herup: Yeah.... he looks "cool" here too.

Looks like pretty decent pitching form to me...what's the problem?

Jackson Herring: Only one time though.

Oddly enough, the guy who was in the plane with Bush died in action.

What I'd really love to see Obama do is pull out a big bull whip and crack it as loud as possible and ask all those Teabagging Republican Conservitards "Whose your master now biatch?".

That would be awesome.

Sarrah Barracuda: Pincy: Sarah, don't you have a reality show to do or something?

You'd like it to be a drama, but it'll end up as a comedy.

I also remember that during the Bush years that there were those "Free Speech Zones" and Secret Service or other Law Enforcement would either whisk you away from general viewing or make it very difficult to stage a protest. There wasn't a lot of media coverage at all of the anti war protests during that period and I should know. I attended a few that i had to really google w/ specific information just to find any write ups on.

As anti Faux News as this administration is at least they allow their opposition express their views freely.

5/10. Nice showing of ignorance of the bill itself and good use of Jeebus. Needed a little more sweat and pork rinds in the middle.

Well you are failing badly at that.

Nemo's Brother: He has played more rounds of golf in 1 1/2 years than Bush did in 8. Michael Moore pissed himself everytime Bush played 18. Is he doing the same now? Why or why not?

He's way behind on brush clearing though.

When the mere act of holding a different opinion is a provocation, it's impossible not to provoke people.
