It’s got to be a bit frustrating for ol’ **Bimmer**. I mean, here he is, trying to get a reaction out of us, trying to rile us up so he can get some of that sweet forum hatred he wants… but instead we’re all just kind of giggling at him. When’s school start up again? ---

The entire world has been laughing behind BOBO’s back since the day he was elected. You misspelled “Dubya”; international opinion of Obama is actually pretty good. ---

> [@Bimmer](#): > > … Black unemployment among young men is twice that of White young men. The jails are packed with young Black men. What has BOBO done to ease the situation? … I’m pretty sure President Obama and his AG have made efforts to address the ridiculous mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines for drug crimes. But I’m sure you don’t see the connection, and think this is “Soft On Crime!” Because you are a moron with some kind of stone forming in your little brain. ---

I see the mention of “golf” up there. That must be one of the Talking Points ™ for the week, it’s shown up on my Facebook feed today about how Obama has played golf more times than Reagan, which apparently Means Something. ---

“Mr. Bobo” was a chimpanzee on an obscure episode of Cheers. It is a lot of fun seeing this pathetic and fully unoriginal racist troll get toyed with and laughed at as he ratchets up the hate in each post. Please don’t ban him yet mods. ---

Thing about righties is, remove from their vocabulary the ability make sexual innuendo, accuse you of drug usage, or make fun of your name (which was really funny in, maybe fifth grade), and they’d be rendered incapable of speech. ---
