The sight of the fomer Soviet flag being held up by Obama supporters in front of the White House last night sent chills up my back. Having spent a good portion of my life in fear of that flag and the nuclear weapons that backed it up, seeing CITIZENS of this country flying it in support of a president elect scares me no end. If this is the direction we are going, the future is bleak indeed. tear down the wall mister Gorbachev, no need to fire a shot, our electoral college will pick up your banner for you. I'm sick inside. Where will we be in four years I wonder?

Obama's no more responsible for his extremist supporters than McCain. Let's can the right wing paranoia.

Makes me sick to see that. Those idiots were acting like it was the Mardi Gras! One girl was tilting her head back like she was expecting booze to be poured down her throat while the Soviet flag was being waved and other guy was showing his chest with Obama written on it. I guess he was expecting beads.

These kids voted only to follow the crowd. It's a shame our country is going to be destroyed.

If that banner is a symbol of what we are heading towards....YES!!!!!! You'll have to to better than that to convince me otherwise.Were these clowns "extremists"? Absolutely! Is what that flag stands for frightening beyond all recognition? Completely! And I can and will not consience support for an administration whos supporters use it as a symbol of what they stand for. . I'm in awe that ANYONE can defend the point of view that the Hammer and Sickle be run up in support of a president elect. Insult me all you want....I don't care. When that flag is run up over YOUR town we'll see how you like it.

Or maybe they are republicans and they were rasing such flag because they think that Obama=soviet. To make a point. That is what has been pushed by the republican agenda lately, because Obama and his supporter never said that he was just like a soviet.

Stop this paranoia, he is a good old fashioned democrat.

It was a simple phase. Them. Us. Hate. Love. Yes. No. One. Zero.

It seems that binary is as complex as some can ever manage to be. Apparently, some of that isn't going to change...

Manufactured outrage. The voice of the shill, the pitchman, and the carnival sideshow barker. Your days are now done, my friend. Time to book passage back to the real world where the rest of us are rolling up our sleeves in hopes of repairing some of eight year's worth of damage done. Yippee-ti-yi-yo, get along little dogies. You know that the future will be your new home...
