Barack Obama is a Socialist Marxist Liberal bent upon destroying America. He is a racist, who went to a racist church with a racist pastor who preached racist sermons because he was a follower of the racist Liberation theology. And...and...oh yeah...he is a closet al-Qaeda terrorist who prays five times a day facing Mecca, dines with Osama bin Laden and wipes himself with his left hand when he goes to the bathroom.
There, did I cover all the basics? Is there something else I'm missing?
You do know the radical Repubs that get all of their news from online blogs will not see the sarcasm. They will probably start linking your post when asked to cite facts in future posts.

Yep, those dullard Repubs ain't as smart as you and the brainiacs at the Daily Kos or DU.
Actually, they kinda are. Love those pics, thanks!
Reagan rode all the time when at his ranch. He was definitely an outdoorsman and NOT a latte-loving liberal.
Come on! You gotta admit the three liberals are hilarious in their outfits.
Oh no they definitely do look ridiculous. There's no way to hide that fact.
But I'm not enthusiastic about Bush's cowboy persona, because we Texans know Bush for what he really is: a windshield cowboy. Don't look at me. I didn't say it: Vicente Fox did.
Quote:
Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico, derided his political friend as a “windshield cowboy” – a cowboy who prefers to drive – and “the cockiest guy I have ever met in my life”.
He recalled a meeting in Mexico shortly after both men had been elected when Mr Fox offered Mr Bush a ride on a “big palomino” horse.
Mr Fox, who left office in December, recalled Mr Bush “backing away” from the animal.
’A horse lover can always tell when others don’t share our passion,” he said, according to the Washington Post.
That's not a very nice thing to say about someone you've worked with more than almost any other foreign leader. Reagan? Eh, he might've been a real cowboy, don't know much about it.

Helms was not always a Republican. As a young man of the Old South, he had no interest in joining an organization that, well into the 20th century, proudly referred to itself as "the party of Lincoln."
Only when the Grand Old Party adopted a southern accent and replaced references to the Great Emancipator with grumping about "racial quotas" did Helms make the switch to the party of Ronald Reagan, George Bush and John McCain. He brought along the symbols and sounds of the "Jim Crow" Democrats, insisting that Republican events celebrate the memory of Robert E. Lee and encouraging the singing of "Dixie" at party rallies.
The Republicans are still working those fault-lines. Indeed, some of the people who worked most closely with Helms as he transformed what began as an anti-slavery party into a comfortable retreat for white-backlash voters are now key players in the campaign of John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
Those who battled hardest against Helms and his racial politics are quite certain that the 2008 campaign of Republican McCain against Democrat Barack Obama, who in August will become the first African-American nominee of a major party for president, will take a Helmsian turn.
He suggested that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a communist dupe and refused, even decades after King's death, to honor the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
He dismissed the civil rights movement as a cabal of communists and "moral degenerates."
When his fellow Democrats began to reject his brand of race-baiting politics in a series of primaries that saw moderates such as former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford beat segregationists, Helms followed Thurmond into the Republican Party.
In 1972, he determined to follow Thurmond into the Senate.
Helms got a couple of lucky political breaks. First, President Nixon was running his "southern strategy" reelection campaign to attract segregationist Democrats to the GOP. Second, the Democratic nominee for the Senate that year was North Carolina Congressman Nick Galifianakis.
