Everyone on the right runs around with their hair on fire.

You have to ask yourself what about President Obama... or Barry Hussein O as you like to call him is different than the others on that list?

Don't beleive the propoganda generated by the Joseph Goebles inspired U.S. left wing media.

Goebbels was anything but left wing. Since you brought up the Nazi reference, it was Prescott Bush, father of George H. W. and grandfather to George W. and current Presidential candidate Jeb Bush, that had ties to Nazi Germany. He was also involved in a plot against F.D.R. and the elected U.S. government. The plot was exposed when Marine Corps General Smedley Butler went public in 1934.

The Grammar Nazi in me can't let that slide.

There is sooo much wrong with that post... But other then the confusion of comparing left wing media and right wing Goebbels... You gotta love the repetitive proofs of the Godwin Law.

One curious reason: right wingers think very differently about the legitimacy of Federal authority when they control the Federal government, than they do when, say, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama or Jimmy Carter are President.

Its a strange and somewhat scary philosophy, and at its heart is this idea:

"we believe in strong government, but we believe that only we are legitimate leaders of that government; when our political opponents win, what was legitimate in our hands becomes illegitimate in theirs".

This is a dangerous game, but its one the right plays constantly. Its not that they don't like Obama's policies-- its that he's not a legitimate President, something like Alex Rodriguez or Lance Armstrong . . . yes, he won the race, sort of, but he's not entitled to the prize.

That being said. By your logic if I call him by his first or last name makes me racist as well.

Because I am aware of the presidents heritage, it would be a reasonable assumption to surmise the names Barrack and Obama are African. I wouldn't solely associate them with the Middle East, Barrack maybe, but Obama, no.

If I had just heard the names for the first time, Barrack, I would guess perhaps Middle Eastern, or Slavic, the Balkans maybe, or one of the many countries ending in "stan" in Asia. Obama could really be from anywhere, on it's own it could sound Japanese. If you'd just heard it spoken, without seeing the spelling, one could even think it was Irish.

But Hussein, that's a different name all together. It was the last name of Saddam, the enemy of America and obviously of Arabic/Muslim origin. That's why people like you and Rush Limbaugh delight so much in using the man's middle name when you talk about him, to emphasize your belief that he "is not one of us".

You're free to call him whatever you wish, but judging from your previous posts, whatever you choose to call him will come across as disrespectful and mean spirited.

Do you dislike Limbaugh simply because he is a conservative?
Or is your dislike darker and more sinister?
Could not your dislike of conservatives be considered as racist?

I referenced Mr. Limbaugh , because like you, he also is unable to reference the President without using his middle name in an attempt to paint him as some one different. If that truth hurts, I'd suggest some self reflection.

And by definition, Racism is bigotry based on ethnicity, not political affiliation. If I have any dislike for particular conservatives it's based on their words, not the color of their skin.

One more thing..
I didn't name the man "Barack Hussein Obama".
He changed his name to that above of his own free will.

Glad to see you at least acknowledge he's a citizen, and not parrot Donald Trump and others that he was born in Kenya. But if you actually look at his birth certificate, the name Barrack Hussein Obama is the name that is on it. No one forced him to change it to that "above of his own free will".

Okay people let's rein it in a little on the personal snideness shall we? Play nice or don't play at all.

Are you talking about the phoney .pdf file that they eventually pulled. Or are you privy to another one that no one else in the world has seen?
