Hey Ivan, nobody makes fun of our idiot loser President but us!
That's proof that communism causes lasting brain damage for generations after.

Or believe your point of view is right and everyone else wrong, and you have to make fun that is so childish, and ignorant. No one slapped my behind when I was a baby, and stated to me, you must grow up and think this way, because this is what I tell you is right.
Being able to disagree without histrionics and childish behavior is very important. I'll admit that lately I've become quite short on patience. That said, going on histrionic behavior isn't going to get anyone anywhere. Sadly, there are those who feel that childish behavior is appropriate, even trying to justify it.

If you want to talk about childish behavior, look at an Occupy Wall Street rally or similar left wing type of activist movement. I am well within my constitutional rights to make fun of Barack Obama and if you don't like it, you can leave the country! People like you always jump on the race-baiting bandwagon instead of examining whether these activists were saying that Obama sucks on something or simply that he sucks. Perhaps they wanted to make it slightly more tasteful by using a banana (are Black people the only ones who eat bananas?) instead of a vibrator or penis.

Again, none of what you are saying has anything to do with this discussion. This is all a way to deflect from what I said. And a person who deflects from what was said is doing so do to a lack of honor or courage to confront it.

I know you are within your rights to make fun of President Obama. I even said it in my last post. I also said none of this is about freedom of speech. It is about being able to disagree with a politician without acting histrionic and childish about it. Again, what does Occupy Wall Street have to do with the stunt pulled in Moscow?

And something else. I know Blacks are not the only people who eat bananas. I know more White people who eat bananas than anyone else. However, it is also like the watermelon controversy. They are both foods highly associated with Black people. In Russia, bananas are associated with Black people. Now, the laser display features President Obama with a banana in his mouth. Think about that.

It's not but the loony obamabots need to be outraged daily and call people racists. It's simply in their DNA.

I am against racism, but the projection of Obama as "Hear, see and speak no evil" may not be too far off base.

I think, like America, most of the world now see obama as the fool he is.
He is not a fool- he knows exactly what he's doing, and our largely ignorant and apathetic population blindly goes along with him.
