An open letter to the people who hate Obama more than they love America

[Dr. Love]

I find it very reflective of reality and this type of anger may be scathing, but atleast it's not Limbaugh/Beck belligerent. So the guy had a whole pot of coffee before he sat down at his computer. No big D.

"..and during the few moments we have left, we want to talk right down to earth, in a language that everyone here can easily understand"- Malcolm X

That, and a certain amount of anger is understandable at this point. The dude nails it.

You guys ... The author is trying manipulate you emotionally. This is no different than the demo boxing +1 culture on the right that I hear people here bitch about ... And you guys are buying it.

This article is crafted for the single purpose of getting you guys to say "yeah!" and then think yourselves in someway superior to the other side.

Class warfare indeed. The author is yet another partisan doing his job: to rile up the masses against the other side, use emotion to override reason.

His argument screams straw man. Think for yourselves. Don't let this guy manipulate you.

Demo boxing = demonizing. Damn phone.

Rile up the masses against the other side? Sure, there's a degree of tit for tat here, but really, the guy is just trying to throw a glass of cold water in the faces of those who refuse to acknowledge their hatefulness. What's wrong with that?

I'll agree with you on his temper and delivery. Every childhood argument I've ever had with my brother usually went in my brothers favor in my parents eyes because he remained cool and methodical while I was screaming with veins popping out of my neck.

Acknowledge wasn't quite the right word. The folks in question own their hatred. They just can't qualify it.

I meet you all the time. You hate Obama. You hate gay people. You hate black people, immigrants, Muslims, labor unions, women who want the right to make choices concerning their bodies, you hate em all. You hate being called racist. You hate being called a bigot. .

I don't hate immigrants......I hate illegal immigrants.

I don't hate gay people......I hate flaming queers that flaunt in everyones face while screaming for our tolerance & acceptance of their lifestyle (which should be just as private as I keep mine)

I don't hate black people......I hate the n....rs that black people also hate. The ones that fit the stereotypes. I won't go into more detail here.

I don't hate Muslims.......I hate any organized religion. Not the poor people brainwashed into following it blindly.

I don't hate labor unions.......I hate the power that certain public sector unions wield that we ultimately have to pay for. Some unions need to be dialed back to a reasonable level.

I don't hate being called a racist......word has been thrown around so much recently that I doubt anyone truly knows it's meaning anymore. I hate people that look the same as me just as much as I hate people who are different. Well, if hating the human race makes me racist....then fire away.

I don't hate women who want control of their bodies......I just hate having to pay for it. How is it their control if they are dependent on someone else to fund it? Doesn't sound like much control at all when you are still on someone elses wallet. To truly be in control of yourself, you must fully take care of yourself. They want control over their bodies, fine. I want control over where my money goes. They can do with their own money whatever the hell they want.

I don't hate being called a bigot....I don't even know what an ot is so why do I care if I'm called a big one?

Republicans can NOT win on the issues..

Perhaps because every time they try & discuss an issue someone puts their hands over their ears & screams YOU HATE YOU HATE YOU HATE!!!!!!!!!

Demo boxing = demonizing. Damn phone.

Ironic thing there is that demons can't box. They trip over their tails every damned time!

[Satan]

Perhaps because every time they try & discuss an issue someone puts their hands over their ears & screams YOU HATE YOU HATE YOU HATE!!!!!!!!!

Or perhaps because there's a very visible record of Republican policies causing the decline of your country for the last 30 years? (And yes, the policies of Clinton and Obama have been Republican, for the most part, regardless of what they call themselves. )

I gotta be honest, I didn't think a Liberal columnist had it in 'em, but wow.....

I stopped right there. This piece is pure hater-baiting propaganda...nothing more. I don't hate anyone who has a different opinion than I do. It's called disagreement. Maybe most liberals can't understand that...because all they do is hate.

That seems a bit presumptuous to say that someone is full of hate because they disagree strongly with a position and direction their leaders are going.

There is no less venom on the left than the right if this forum is any measure. I think if the republican party and democratic party looked hard at each other, they will only wind up seeing the worst parts of themselves.

But it's easier to blankety accuse the faceless other side and believe that they are horrible people, I suppose.

Va Beach VA Fan, you're smarter than posting such an assinine, inflammatory piece. The old liberal mantra applies here: When you can't beat 'em (or debate 'em), insult them!

This coming from the guy who threw the word fagot around with others in here like a couple of outfielders having a warm up toss in the other thread. Fool yourself much?

Truth hurts, huh FORD? That's no worse than spamming this forum with pieces from the Huffington Post and the dailykos. This is from the dailykos and it is spam.
