Little different than calling someone a "liberal", that is, unless liberals someday start getting bombed, shot and tortured like Muslims do every day

You people are reprehensible.
Racism? It seems like reality, something you apparently can't handle. Recordings of Obama's reaction over the Fort Hood incident have been glaring over every conservative radio talk show in the nation. Obama's reaction is not exactly a secret. But then again, to label something "racist" is always the ace card when you have no other defense.

Islam started that war way back in the 1970s when they began airline and cruise ship hijackings and moved up to suicide bombings.

You're a day late and about $100.00 short.

Pundit & Pundette: What not to wear to a Medal of Honor award ceremony
This woman is dressed like trash! What an embarrasement. It's not even summer time. She looks like she's ready for the street corner at Dupont Circle. ...."Yo man, 20 bucks, and I'll show you a goood time!"

Racist Repugs have been getting their hate on since the day the man took office.

President Obama was at a conference for a native American issue, when after more than three minutes mentioned the incident at Fort Hood as though it was nothing more than a foot note, not all that significant. Amazing! Then he has the audacity to tell the public not to jump to conclusions, when this is exactly what he did when he decided to pass judgement on an exemplary police officer, when he didn't even have any of the facts.

Imagine, a little story about an hysterical, uncooperative Harvard professor screaming at a police officer when he did nothing more than requested an i.d. garnishing national press; never mind attention from the president of the U.S. It's easy to see where his priorities are.

Where to start first in dealing with your inaccuratcies?

First this police officer was protecting no one from a burglar.

I think it's good to tell people not to jump to conclusions, that's how people make asses of themselves when have you witnessed positive outcomes when people jump to conclusions?

The President mis-spoke I hope he has learned from it.

Speaking of jumping to conclusions and asses exactly at what point did you jump to the conclusion that Gates was hysterical or uncooperative?


".. Friends of Gates said he was already in his home when police arrived. He showed his driver’s license and Harvard identification card, but was handcuffed and taken into police custody for several hours last Thursday, they said.."
Harvard professor Gates arrested at Cambridge home - Local News Updates - The Boston Globe

I might be a bit testy too.

Your post seems a bit hysterical, meds up to date?

This is an excellent point, sailordave.

When I was in the Navy, we all had nicknames. One guy we called "boobs" (I have no idea why), and another was Carabou (because he looked like one ) No one took it personally.
