And need I mention the snitching program he started, etc.
Did you ever hear of an unconstitutional thing called the USA PATRIOT Act?
Warrentless wire-tapping? The Neighborhood Watch? And since when is La Raza a government run organization?
I agree in a way. I understand why people would make the comparison to Hitler. The pre-war Hitler. People in Germany saw him as the savior. The one who would bring about change. Hitler appealed to the bulk of German farmers, war veterans and the middle class, who had been hard-hit by both the inflation of the 1920s and the unemployment of the Depression.
yeah but they don't use his whole name just the middle and last....it doesn't bother me; I'm just wondering why they do it since they don't walk around calling anyone else by their middle names
uh ok if you say so. Maybe the charge of racism (although I don't know what you're talking about) came from threads that were dripping in negative (possible racist) comments to began with. Do a search on some of the thread titled “HUSSEIN does this” and I doubt you'll find the topic to be fair and unbiased (or even logical). Personally, I like my last suggestion that they are afraid of the name Hussein and think that Obama is somehow connected to another bad guy they heard about or maybe they think Obama is secretly his child and that’s why his birth certificate is so important or maybe they’re just crazy as hell and really don’t have a reason for doing or maybe they think it pisses people (probably really stupid people) off and that’s what works for them.
That could be the case too, they are trying to insinuate that 0bama is really a Muslim, and only went to Trinity Church as a form of cover. <shrug> I never use his middle name, i think its childish to use a person's name, appearance, race, ethnicity, religion or gender as a way to make it personal and denigrate them.

Hah! This coming from the person who always uses the number 0 instead of the letter O to spell Obama. What a joke!

So you think a comparison to FDR would be more or less understandable?
Most of them (the nutjobs) call him Nobama or Hussein, this one is slightly more clever and uses the 0 key instead of the O to spell Obama as 0bama.
Tell me, what does that do to enhance your (paranoid, delusional) arguments?
I'll ignore your childish ridicule, I know it's prob an uncontrollable liberal impulse.
I use the "0" key for 0bama because I am notoriously bad at hitting the shift key long enough, or maybe pressing it hard enough, for it to capitalize letters, and after having to go back and capitalize "obama" into "Obama" a few dozen times, i took the lazy way out and I just hit the "0" key instead. Plus as i have explained a few times already, for the other 0bama defenders that saw the dreaded "0" and leaped out of their chairs, getting all "we-weed" about it, "0bama" also has a dual purpose, since it fits my loe opinion of him. Their, satisfied?

I understand your viewpoint on this, those are small countries of 2-5 million people, even Canada only has about 35 million people, our country is 300+ million. 0bama and the democrats are trying to sell the idea that cover just the 50 million uninsured in America will be inexpensive. I can't believe it will cost less to insure 50 million when the entire country of Canada is 35 million. Every time Canada elects a new prime minister, the candidates focus most of their campaign rhetoric around their healthcare system, because it is not cheap, it costs about $160 billion, or 10% of their GDP.

Seriously, using Nobama, 0bama, Hussein, Barry or another term (meant to be derogatory) for him just shows your prejudices and your lack of intellect and it only hurts your argument. There are some valid arguments about the merits of socialism in a nation this size, but they are lost within the paranoia and the bigotry displayed in those posts.
There is no need to insult and malign me just because I type a "0" for 0bama's name. You know dick about me, my ethnic or racial heritage, nor anything about my life. However, your childish, ignorant rant has told me much about you.

I'M A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN, OUTSPOKEN OPPONENT OF OBAMA'S POLICIES ON NUMEROUS THREADS HERE, NAVY VETERAN...when it comes to name calling, you're the one engaging in it.
Yeah, you use the 0 key instead of just o because it bothers you to not capitalize correctly...sure. Wouldn't having a number instead of a letter be worse than a lower-case o?
Nothing I said was childish or ignorant. I've been on this site long enough and seen hundreds of your posts to know PLENTY about you and your opinions.
You even said yourself that you use the 0 because it reflects your opinion of him. How does that not show your prejudice? Prejudice does not necessarily mean racism, it means you pre judge someone.
Again, I voted in the Republican primaries (because I am registered GOP) for Ron Paul and in the general election for Bob Barr (a former Republican, running as a Libertarian), I have written numerous posts about how I am against policies of this administration, and posts critical of Obama himself. All I am doing is pointing out facts, and the fact is that you lose a lot of credibility with your cute little trick of spelling Obama with a 0.
After all, wouldn't you be better able to get a Obama lover to listen to your argument by calling him President Obama instead of Nobama or Hussein Obama or 0bama?
"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler
Hitler said one thing and did another. You might want to research actual history. He said that he didn't like what was being done to the workers, yet he helped out the corporations and the wealthy. He aided them in exploiting the workers.
