Bill...your mentality is showing!

Standing up to ignorance, intolerance, and bigotry is not the same calling someone out for not agreeing with you. The tea baggers, birthers, and every other looney fringe group have tried to subvert his agenda from day one. Don't forget Mitch McConnell's words from January, 2009 - Obama's agenda is DOA!

As usual, the great gene proves my point. Instead of pointing out difference you jump to name calling and labeling your opponents. Obama practices the liberal practice of isolating opponents and ridiculing them instead of debating the merits of the argument. If you disagree with the PC/Left wing party line you are a (pick one) birther, tea partier, gun nut, Jesus freak, racist, homophobe, low-information voter, and just pain dumb.. The media has help create a cult of personality around Obama and key to this tactic is the demonizing of the right. I just hope we survive 4 years of this lame duck.

His color is irrelevant. He is opposed because at heart he is a Marxist who believes in redistributing wealth and the superiority of the state. No one likes that, except people from Mass.

It is "Mulatto". Using "bi-racial" is bit more modern and humane.

Hmmm that sword cuts both ways. let's see what Rush Limbaugh has to say on the topic and he still has a job.

1. “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
2. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
3. “Let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do — let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.”
4. “Obama is “more African in his roots than he is American” and is “behaving like an African colonial despot”
5. “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
6. “They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?” [referring to African-Americans]
7. [To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”
8. “We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America.”
9. “Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”
10. “You’re a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out.” [referring to Latinos]

A perfect example of people that make crap up about republicans is Daniels post!
Pathetic!
Not one line of it was truthful, yet we are supposed to believe it because in his mind it is true because he was apparently sold propaganda and he bought it.

Steve Marino: I made nothing up, all the quotes I posted are easily found via a google search and can be confirmed by http://www.factcheck.org, Rush Limbaugh's recorded radio broadcasts and multiple other places both on the left, the right and the center. I made up nothing about Republicans as a group, I stated the facts about Rush Limbaugh, a mouthpiece for the extreme right. A large number of these quotes from Rush are available online can be listened to in his own voice from his own radio show.

And nothing you can say would convince any reasonable person that Rush Limbaugh is anything but a hypocrite and a liar. This a man who spoke of the evils of drugs in America for years while secretly being addicted to pain killers. He rails against gay marriage because he believes gay marriage violates the sanctity of holy wed lock, this from a man who has been divorced 3 times. This is the man that thinks women who get birth control via their medical insurance are sluts and prostitutes. When it comes to Rush we don't need to lie, we just need to use his own words against him.

And finally there are many republicans who have this country's best interests at heart and I am in no way trying to paint the whole republican party with my comments about Rush. I am making a point that when we let the extremists control the argument we all lose. And people like you just try to sweep it under the rug and not admit to reality and in the end that hurts all of us.

Taking a few words out of context completly by a group and groups that hate America and the principals that we stand for, does not make it true. As a person who listens to talk radio to get true information that you will not get from socialist leaning tv media to shape your mind, and others like you, does not mean that any of it is true, just what they want to report to you.
Rush never said any of the things you said, and only gives you the other side of story that you will not get from the media you use to prove what you THINK is possibly true because it is sold so well.
Just pay attention, and look a both sides without reading about what people make up to push a political belief.

Dan, if you are a socialist, all the power to you!
I just always assume that when people spread lies and propaganda that they are woefully uninformed.

So Steve according to you all the things Rush has said have been taken out of context and all media except "Talk Radio" are liars????? Are you kidding me? Do you even read what you write? I gave out factual information, I gave out links to fact check the info I posted because I am used to people like you who make claims out of thin air and NEVER have any facts to back them up, I listened to recordings of unedited Rush Limbaugh Radio shows (Which was an unpleasant chore) to confirm that poor Rush wasn't being taken out of context. All you have given is your opinion with nothing to back it up. Just because you think something is so don't make it so. I actually check my facts before posting.

Steve Marino: Nice try trying to paint me as a socialist, is that what you do when people intrude facts into your insulated worldview? The first thing you do is start name calling and making unfounded accusations. Hmmmm, that reminds me of someone....who could it be? Yeah your hero Rush, when ever anyone disagree's with his point of view his first reaction is to slander and falsely accuse his critics. You've learned your lessons from Rush quite well. There is a political belief system that is totally built on denying the truth and claiming those against you are liars and propagandists, that system is called Fascism, are you a Fascist Steve? I'm not accusing you of being one you understand but when something walks like a duck and quacks like a duck you gotta assume it's a duck.

Isn't it wonderful that once again we've deviated from the true issues, uniting the American people to solve our important issues, and once more been pulled down into the mud by Quislings and Apologists.

Daniel, all I am saying is that you actually have to listen to Rush in order to know that the posts are not what he said, and are not like the man at all. Although there are many that have tried to discredit him to no avail to move forward a political agenda,
I have listened to him, and many like him for decades, and none of those lies you posted are that man!
Daniel, just try and have an open mind and look at both sides of what people say, otherwise if you just believe B.S. fact checkers that try to discredit conservatives as a hole, you become part of the lie.
The truth will set you free!

By the way, what names did I call you, easy tiger!

Yes John, we should judge people by who they are not the color of their skins. When we as a country can truly ignore a person's race and judge them on their actions and character only, that is when we will be in a Post Racial America. I hope we as a people come to this conclusion as soon as possible because when we sow hate we reap violence and ignorance.

We as citizens need to learn to ignore those that preach hate and divisiveness and support those that want to work to improve conditions for ALL Americans.

Steve: I have listened to Rush and I mentioned that in my post. I have no political agenda to push and the Rush quotes i mentioned were said by the man on his radio show in his own voice uncut and unedited. I have a very open mind and try to see the logic in the arguments of others but I cannot find anything that makes me trust or respect Rush. I am not out to discredit conservatives, if a conservative has a way to help the country I will support them. You should try a little truth in your diet. You have implied that I am a liar, a socialist, that I am uninformed, that I make crap up and that my opinions are pathetic. You have behaved exactly as Rush does when he is arguing a point with someone; when your argument fails you go on a personal attack, Tiger.

Ain't that the truth John, all sides need to come together and make decisions that are best for the whole nation and not just their own followers. Politically both sides are playing this game with Race, Constitutional issues, Law and Medicine. We as a nation seem to be split fairly even down the middle on so many issues and neither side seems to want to comprise. Every major issue that comes forward for public/political debate tends to degrade to name calling and wild accusations from both sides. When this happens nothing gets done and our problems get worse.

Both sides in Washington need to learn few new words, Co-operation, Compromise and Courtesy. Then maybe we will solve some of these problems even if neither side gets everything they want.

Unfortunately Mark I wish it was as easy as that. If it was just 1 man, even if he is the president, then at worst we have to deal with the situation for 8 years at most. Both sides are using the divide and conquer strategy and because of it all that we do is argue and the problems get worse. We the people and our duly elected officials need to take care of America, not part of it, not just some groups, AMERICA, all of it.

I would never call ALL republicans racists, and yes anyone that claims an entire group is guilty because of the actions of a few is stereotyping/profiling and is just as guilty as the original bigot. Also being a supporter of the Constitution and the founding fathers doesn't make anyone a racist how a person shows their support is where the bigotry and hatred usually sneak in. When you get extreme groups like some of the Tea Party offshoots and factions of the Occupy movement then you start getting into are area of political inflexibility that leads to anger and extreme view points.

So very well said. We haven't had a good President in quite a long time, and what the office has become is that of the puppet controlled by something or something else. For Obama, it's his ideologue companions, for Bush it was Cheney. Bill Clinton really had nobody to blame but himself, and George HW Bush didn't seem to really want the job.

But until Americans wake up and accept the fact that "you are what you eat" when it comes to the media buffet: we now have such huge media monopolies that there really aren't any independent voices out there, so journalism as an art and as a profession has died.

I didn't vote for Bush and didn't like his policies - that made me a smart patriot in 2004. Same feelings about Obama has me branded a tea bagging, racist homophobe.

Bill: Anyone who accuses anyone of being a Tea Bagging, racist homophobe or the opposite: a Commie Socialist Pinko, based solely on who a person voted for is an idiot.

Christine, sorry that you see the worst types in our society. I hope you won't become so jaded that you become incapable of recognizing that the majority of people are good, hardworking people who hold similar aspirations as yourself.

We have a representative form of government. The American people sent all those in Washington there because they represent our beliefs. The problem is that we have no leadership in the White House and instead a my way or the highway dictator!
