The quailty of america life is certain dependent on stopping the reckless specail interest debtr Obama is puttg us into. He is doing the same thng that reckless people who are facing disaster now did. He si like a kid making decsion on the chinese credit card with nothing to show for it after the candy melts.Now the administrtion is talking another stiluus to add mroe debt in additon to the wasteed frst one.Wnader if they will try to sell their one as massive infrastrusture bring millions of jobs and keep unemploeyent below 8%.Snake oil salesmanship.Europe had told him what they think of his stimulus spending.

Are you suggesting that there is evidence that George Bush is in fact a monkey?

A picture of obama as a monkey has been viewed by you and others as beyond the pale.

yet even in this post you find nothing wrong with Bush being pictured as a monkey.

Apples and apples.

I have not seen anyone from my side say Obama was a muslim terrorist.

there have been accusations that he is a muslim. these are really 2 different things.

At the same time those who find it beyond the pale that Obama would be accused of being a muslim have lambasted George Bush for being "too Christian".

We can do this all day. GWB was burned in effigy quite often. Liberals on this board did not take issue with that expression of free speech. Those same liberals view the peaceful assembly of Tea Party Patriots as vulgar and intimidating acts of near violence. Hypocrisy? Clearly.

Do Conservatives reach to hyperbole in discussing Obama? Without question. I admit to as much myself. What bothers me is that your side finds such an act as “libel and slander” when you have yourselves done exactly the same with others who you disagree with.

It is hypocritical at best.

The double standard works like this.

The standard for attacking a republican simply requires the existence of a republican to attack.

The standard necessary for attacking a democrat requires 5 liberal sources who have each witnessed some transgression and each source must be verified by 5 independent liberals. Then it must be signed off on by the President of the United States provided said president is a democrat.

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?

Slander

Libel

Look them up.

President Obama has not sent 1200 troops to the border. He has announced in the last few days that he will be sending about 560, on a sliding scale. Some sent one month, a few more later. All 560 will be there for around 6 months once they all get to the border. Then the guard will start leaving in the same increments that they were sent. Please do not misconstrue the facts.
