It is not just Obama who is doing it. Give me a break. Bush did it too.

Look I am not insulting anyone. I don't care what they do. They're unimportant to me. If anything, I thank them for providing me with laughs.

Were you angry when the right were insulting Democrats who were protesting?
I dont remember Bush attacking those that protested him or didnt agree with him like this WH as.

Bush didnt start a war or say that msnbc wasnt a valid news source. I dont remember Bush going after code pink either.

I will defend anyone's right to protest even if I dont agree with the protest.

I will always defend what I think is right no matter who likes it ( example all the heat I took for telling people they shouldnt make jokes about M Jacksons death) I think I lost a friend over that to be honest. Oh well

I agree. I defend the right to protest even if I think it is a stupid reason to do so. What I am trying to get at is that I do not believe for one minute that Bush did not say anything about liberal protesters. They were just not make public like Obamas statements were.

Whoa! you actually lost a friend over MJ? Are you like a dedicated fan?

He didnt not that I heard or remember.

I dont remember Bush going after 1 news source that went after him by trying to discredit them. Sorry Did his camp have them moved or removed sometimes yeah but making comments to silence them no I cant remember him doing that

No I'm not a fan like that I just respect life and death that much. I dont think making jokes over death is something to laugh at or make jokes over. They felt I was defending a perv. I felt like I was defending a life not how he spent his life. It got heated

His middle name is Hussein, isn't it? I wonder why all those bigoted people worry about people using that. Now when I call him Saint Barack of Hopenchange they have plenty of reason to get mad and many of them do get mad.

We've been over this many times before. Obama uses his first name, not his middle name. Also, dcwhatever doesn't capitalize "hussein"; she thinks she's being cute, but as soon as I reach that point in her posts, I stop reading. It's childish.

I had no qualms about calling Bush-43 "Shrub" or "W" or "Bushie". I had -- have -- no respect for the man. Just like I was -- am -- not required to respect Bush, no one is required to respect Obama. We don't even have to pretend.
You misunderstand. They can be as obnoxiously disrespectful as they please. But don't intentionally be disrespectful and feign innocence! It's intentional. Own it. Don't pretend you mean no disrespect when you do mean disrespect. And everybody with more an one brain cell flopping around in an empty skull knows they mean disrespect.

LOL Who feigns ignorance? The whole point is to disrespect a man that deserves no respect period. hussein obama is the first president to openly disrespect th citizens he is supposed to represent. The bigger issue should be the bigots and racist who see the very name hussein as an insult and a terrorist.

i see no problem with anyone picking one of the many names hussein obama has used. Usually it is criminals that have so many alias.

And the funny thing is that sometimes that particular user has something GREAT that I would like to discuss with her. But as you said, it kills it.

Very childish.
