FT's response...."but he's black, so this HAS to be racist".

would pass even faster if he spoke like the joker.

That pic/poster is definitely over the top, but nothing compared to some of the stuff people were doing with regard to Reagan in the 80s. Either way, I see it as a statement and/or art and don't take it too seriously.

What I do take seriously is the issue of why I'm working hard and teaching my kids to work hard, when Obama is spending so much that he'll have to tax me and my kids at a much higher rate than now to even attempt to pay for what he and Congress are doing.

excellent point.

but seriously, how can one not put the authenticity of an anonymously found jpg over that of a gov't document verified by the republican-led state of hawai'i

hey. hey. hey.


Hawai'i is primarily democrat in both our state house and senate as well as the reps we send to U.S. congress




we do have a republican governor though




for now

A Jewish Republican, in fact. Makes Eric Cantor & Joe Liebermann feel all warm inside.

Are you talking about Socialized Medicine here?? Or the bailout and Cash for Clunkers.

Stone just wants to get a room with Timis & assume a wide-stance.

WE BUILT THIS LOG CABIN
WE BUILT THIS LOG CABIN ON THE DOWNLOW.

Yeah I think the internet has made us more instantly aware of things like outright lies being used as talking points and things like GOP lobby groups busing scripted agitators to town hall meetings.

I don't think things are worse. The howling lunatics just have Facebook contacts now.

i want to see him ram a pencil into john boehner's eye socket

No, no...it's really just all the birther stuff and die-hards still convinced he's a Musilim and that sort of thing.

I'm cool with all of the cries of socialism and brown-shirted caricatures, etc. I mean that's still at the same level of the anti-Bush angst previously spewed by the libs. I guess it's when the attacks are more against the man than his ideals is where I take issue - real personal attacks, you know?

Bob just say it's because you're afraid to be white or something and make him happy.

Please. Bob has too much white to go around. No confusing him for anything but.

yeahbut his white liberal guilt caused him to marry Latina.

He's from Texas. The pool of eligible singles is mostly Mexican. He didn't have much choice... Even if he wanted one.

is there a direct quote from this guy at a townhall meeting?
AMAZING!

I heard it ascribed to a middle-aged-to-elderly South Carolinian at a town-hall meeting near Charlotte.

can someone explain to me why we're attached to the current healthcare plan?

left wingers are forging ahead with forgeries of the forgery to throw off the scent. this conspiracy...it's massive. btw, whats a jpg compression artifact?

"I hear that this kind of thing was done on the “Majesticâ€

By which you mean "Obamacare" reform initiative, or the status quo of private insurers & much coverage thru jobs, the coverage being distinctly thru same & non-portable?

I'm in LA and I have yet to see this poster anywhere.

well geez, Tania, you're not gonna see it in West Hollywood. That's Waxman country! You're better off checking Howard Berman's district...



the latter.

Go down to San Diego, Duke Cunningham's old district (cannot recall who assumed the job after he got himself perp-walked), where they arrest fiftysomething lesbians for hosting wine & cheese parties for Democrats.

An unlikely alliance of unions (people like harry) & business (billyg) enshrined health insurance as a benefit conferred to the working-class. Do an honest day's labour, get to see a doctor if sick.

Over time, that agreement has ossified in the American psyche. Work = insurance, insurance = work.

& we Americans are nothing if not a Protestant country, so that glorification of work just sits well with some.
