Of course, Code Pink and other far left organizations play the same game so I guess gays and lesbians have as much right to do it.

I still want to see a picture of the screamer.
I don't know, but it sounded an awful lot like Joe Biden to me ..

You mean Old Foot-in-Mouth Joe Biden. Funny but it sounded like a female voice to me.

I can guarantee you if I had been the screamer and he offered to let me come up and have the mike I wouldn't have hesitated to head up there. Then the SS would have had to spring into action but his wiseassed attempt to be funny would have been called.

Can you imagine Reagan provoking a heckler like that...'come on up here'. Never!

Then I watched it, and I don't see the big deal. I really don't.

He was getting shouted down over and over and over. So he addressed it. Pretty skillfully the first time, then a little testily the second time, but he recovered.

What's the big deal?
What's the big deal?

The clue is in the post above yours which contains the words "purple lips'....answer: racism.


It is enjoyable to watch the rightists in here ...their angst, anger, hatred eating them up over our BLACK President....so SWWEEEET!!!!

Does he have to sit there and take it like a meek lamb just because you say so? Exchange of opinions goes both ways. It's really not a big deal, and I highly doubt Obama is losing any sleep over it.

If it had been Bush who responded upon being heckled, you'd be praising him for what a "strong leader" he is. And if Obama had sat there and said nothing, you'd be criticizing him for being a spineless wimp.

No....I wouldn't. I'd be surprised. Because for the first time I'd see some "grace" under pressure from this guy.

Obama did the right thing. He was very strong and took it well.
Got a feeling your opinion wouldnt be the same if he had an R by his name and if those yelling were holding a sign they would be racist but for some reason these protesters arent racist.

I thought anyone that protested Obama or didnt agree with him is because they are racist

No, not all, but if you think racism plays no part in the repugs hatred....read the post above yours.

Racism is alive in the U.S....to deny racism doesn't play a part in the hatred for our B L A C K president is to deny reality.

Maybe cause they know he could have ended the practice with a stroke of his pen?

RealClearPolitics - Video - Pro-Gay Hecklers Repeatedly Interrupt Obama At DNC Fundraiser

I wonder why the Fuhrer did not send out some union browhshirts into the crowd to bust some skulls? They must have been deployed to a tea party rally or something.

-disagree with Obama its because you are a racist
-attend a tea party its because you are a racist
-support a republican its because you are a racist

Yet the people that didnt agree with Obama at this event havent been called a racist once by any democrat

I am starting to think you are the racist since you are the one obsessed with the color of his skin. Notice that ones obsessed with skin tone

Was it racism when the democrat on cnn called a black man a porch monkey? You only seem to care about racism from republicans

Liar...I never posted that BUT SOME ARE!

SO? Racism exists. How conveniently you didn't read the post referring to Obama's "purple lips"(must drive that poster insane).

"""I am starting to think you are the racist since you are the one obsessed with the color of his skin."""



NOPE! I didn't refer to his "purple lips".....AND, I will not accept your turning it around...racists HOPE that they can turn it around but I will point out the racism whenever I can and the "turn arounds" WILL be pointed out....YOU can't shut up those who call out the racism!!


Notice that ones obsessed with skin tone

I JUST POSTED there is racism as YOU ponted out with the remark from a Democrat....and now YOU imply it's only Democrats...make up your mind...!!!
