Faux News trash talking...

Andrea Tantaros advises listeners to punch Obama supporters in the face.

Give it your best shot, punks.:mad:

Yes, threatening to punch the president would be a crime in "this type of government," what dark times we live in. :rolleyes:

She and I must not be living in the same America.

Indeed.

Since I voted for the black guy twice, I guess I'll be in for two.:rolleyes:
Let 'em try. This old white ex roofer still has a few tricks up my sleeve;).

This woman once joked that if she had to live on food stamps, she would look fabulous.

She is probably an ex-Romney groupie.

Well it would be a great way to get yerself shot.

It still amazes me that people are that detached from reality.

"This is Obamas America..........like the Soviet Union."

The Soviet Union? Really? Anyone who really believes that is truly clueless. Every single day, all day long, we watch journalists and other citizens trash-talk politicians and the government. We ride around with political bumper stickers on our vehicles. For crying out loud we recently had a Tea Party zealot try to amass, what was it, ten thousand armed marchers to gather in the capital?..............

Did anyone end up in a Gulag? No. People like this woman are ridiculous. There is no comarison between "Obamas America" and the Soviet Union.

In the Soviet Union most of them would be in prison, run out of the country or DEAD already.

It's a sad fact of the lack of education of the world in America. I was in the Soviet Union, and it is an experience I will never forget. Sadly, the US took a strong turn towards a soviet type government when Bush was in power, but that is conveniently overlooked.

Also, we do have a true communist dictatorship still functioning in the world, and those same folks happily and voluntarily support that regime. But sending money to China is no big deal, as long as you can save $2 in Walmart.

WOW! You said a mouthful, Brother. I guess Commies are okay, so long as their providing the slave labor?

I've never spent a dime in a Walmart and never will.

Whenever anyone tries to start a fight with me these days my line is "Wait please let's talk about this! I don't have any health insurance!"

Well Dave at least those people recognize that Obama is a So************************t Arab.

The hypocrisy of the Obama-bashers is infuriating. Much of what they accuse the current president of doing occurred during the W. reign, like many "patriotic" moves towards a police state.

Unfortunately, I do think that it is a legitimate criticism that Obama has not done away with much of the overreaching legislation and other regulation that originated during the Shrub years. For example, the Patriot Act was reenacted and not vetoed.

Don't recall anyone on the left getting too excited about this:

Author and "truther" Gore Vidal, while on the CNN Headline News Show, “The Joy Behar Show” on October 22 2009 said of President Bush: “But I couldn’t jump into the screen fast enough to kill him off. That’s one murder that I missed not committing.” Behar laughed and said: “Well, it’s too late anyway.”

Don't recall the Washington Post blogging about how inappropriate those comments were. Don't recall anyone here suggesting that Behar and Vidal lived "in a different America.

Tantarro suggested that her listeners punch Obama supporters, Mike. That's what this thread is about.

Obama is also just a scapegoat for the folks who voted in the most lame duck congress ever. I was not a big Obama supporter, I was a bigger Romney anti-supporter.

He has had his failures as much as any president does but the failures of this congress are comical at best and no one says much about them.

Agreed. Except I don't see the house Republicans and Tea Partiers as "lame duck" I see them as deliberately obstructionist. Fight the president, whatever the cost to the nation. If anyone is to blame for the slow recovery, it's them. They don't give a rats ass about this country or its people. They want their fu**ing tax cuts and their kiss ass deregulation. They are completely rotten all the way down to their very core.

Dave

And thanks to that lot we are presently circling the bowl.:mad:

I call them a lame duck congress Dave because I think many of them are at the end of their careers and some do not even know it yet. Their ineffectiveness of doing nothing but making up scary deadlines, and not passing any law has perhaps made many voters wake up. The mid term elections are going to be interesting and maybe a bigger wake up call for the incumbents.

I hope the wacked "Teabaggers" (their term for themselves, btw) primary every moderate Goper in the midterms. After all, it's worked before in that they became the Rapey Party by their own words.;)

I would have to go for obstructionist, they are not doing the people's will at all or there never would have been a sequester. Why do we have this tanked economy, pay all this long term unemployment compensation yet do nothing at all about using these people to rebuild our infrastructure?
This is run your country into a ditch stuff in my book and this list goes on and on too.

Carl

Could be. I think the comment you made, ".....many of them are at the end of their careers and some do not even know it yet.", is telling. Because a lot of those "many" actually think people love them for their obstruction.

People just want to go back to work and have had enough of the childish games. A friend of mine, who has been laid off twice now since the crash of '08, told me a couple days ago that he just wishes "somebody" would do something other than "...waste more time just trying to get the president."

A sentiment I'm hearing more and more frequently, these days.

Dave

I agree.

Don't know what it tells you, but it tells me the bastards are in cahoots.

Chas

It all tells me that the corporations are running America and voting is mostly a waste of time. We have more to fear from the Chamberpot of Commerce and the likes of the Koch bros than any jihadists.

I agree with D about the Patriot Act but IIRC the congressional vote to re-authorize it exceeded any veto threat. Phyrric victorys by using vetoes that ultimately get overturned only spend political capital better used elsewhere.

Interesting speech from the President the other day. He's making noises about ending this shitty 'War on Terror'. If congress would get the hell outta the way, we might be able to finally close our version 'Devil's Island' at Guantanemo. He is also talking about restricting the use of drones by taking the targeting out of the cowboy's hands over at CIA.

Unfortunately tha "cowboys" at the CIA have a better track record than the Army.

Now there's a statement I can totally agree with.

Me too.

Dave

Me, three but I'll still keep on voting.

It's all we have left.

Dave

True, and it's free. But to show why the corporations don't want us to vote is obvious. The U.S. does not have a law like Canada does that all employees MUST be given four hours during the period that the polls are open in which to vote (and also be paid for any hours they are away).

Rob, with all the things that Canada does right... what the hell happened with Justin Bieber??? :D

Cracks me up - the Dems had the gov't and did - health care 'reform'. Now, it's the GOP that does nothing.

No hope for change?

Pete

As Dave put it his mother must have been standing when he was born.

I'm waiting for the juveniles to characterize Canadian's as crack heads, Rob. You know it's coming.

We trained him just to drive Americans crazy.

It works :p :D

Pete

Of course, you're ignoring the auto bailout and Osama Bin Laden but why quibble...;)

It's PTSD from Obamascare. :D

Didn't realise Congress got Osama ;)

The auto bailout was started by Bush.

Pete

Heh, heh - I saw what you did there.;)

Authorization of military force ring any bells? An example of bipartisanship during the Shrub years. Not much of that coming from the right side the aisle these days. It makes me wonder why your party hates America so much, Pete.


Wasn't it the Repubs golden boy, Romney, who said he would let GM and Chrysler fail? Maybe it's not America that the Repugnant party hates but simply it hates the voters who keep handing them defeat after defeat?
