> [@septimus](#): > > In a forum where more flames are allowed, I’d comment on how infuriating it is the way this black President is lied about and insulted without cause. Umbrella-gate is just one of the more inanely egregious examples. There was no response from Faux News et al when photos were found of white Presidents under umbrellas. So you’re saying it was a deliberate attempt to blacken Obama’s name while whitewashing similar behaviors from previous presidents? ---

As of this posting i have a hate list of the people i hate most. You say you had a hate list as of that posting, which was at 11:14pm yesterday. I’m curious, do you still have that list, or does it come and go? Maybe you should use a paperweight on it. ---

Right? Right?!:eek: I lurk a lot at the Hannity forums, and I’ve got a pet theory that there’s only like one or two “real” right-wingers there. I suspect everyone else is a left-wing troll, but none of them know that everyone else is, too. Poe’s Law is a bitch. ---
