Telling you this is a scary road some are trying to take us down that commenting on the president is now slander to some.

Well to these people if it's not slander then it's certainly racism....or maybe both.

Let's say for whatever reason you don't have time to sit in front of a computer, does it make your day worse knowing you're not letting people know you hate someone's guts over the internet? Does posting these articles come before friends and family? Does the thought of posting anti-Obama articles on the internet get you out of bed in the morning? Do you look at yourself in the mirror every night and get a sense of satisfaction knowing you did your best slandering the president to anonymous people? How much of your daily life is devoted to things other than posting deragatory articles of the president over the internet?
Sometimes I cannot help but think that they do it for the attention. By baiting other posters and getting a response, it gives them a sense of control, which they might lack in other parts of their lives. I am not talking about just someone that just enjoys a good debate, I'm talking about the severely obsessed and insecure individual...and we all know who they are.

The liberals posting in this thread…. The OP included…. Are the same folks who snickered the portrayal of George Bush as a monkey. That thought it was a true representation when Bush was portrayed with a Hitler mustache.

These are the same people that will scream “Darth Vader†if Dick Cheney’s name is mentioned.

Yet here in this thread, they are aghast that anyone would take issue with their fearless leader.

They are incredulous when one suggests that Obama is not qualified to be president. Yet they will also tell you that his predecessor (the only President with an MBA) is a moron.

The truly amazing thing is, even after reading this post, they will remain as they are. It seems these lovely people are incapable of seeing their own hypocrisy.

Just ignore them, works for me.

I do try to be fair and take them off ignore once in a while, but they always end up going right back on it.

I am not an Obama fan, but I don't wake up each morning, fill my venom bag and squeeze it at the screen in an effort to slam Obama.
