I’m sure the OP will be back here to make a brilliant argument that ties the people he listed together in a new and thoughtful way. While we’re waiting, I’ll just bury some coal in my backyard so we’ll all have diamonds when he does come back and make sense of it all. ---

I’ll take a shot. Who are three people who’ve never been in my kitchen? Makes as much sense as the OP. ---

OK, in a no doubt hopeless attempt to try determine what the OP was on about, I found this gem in a current GD thread on Obama’s Sept. 11 speech: > [@A nice guy with and opinion](#): > > Obama is a good janitor.

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > Or how 'bout this? If Obama hadn’t been elected President, the crimes these three people committed would never have happened. Because they would have known their place. Or something. Hey, I’m not claiming it has to make any sense. So, you are suggesting (or, rather, suggesting that the OP is suggesting) that uppity neegras begets more uppity neegras? I happen to think there are not enough uppity neegras, so there. We need a “neener-neener” smiley. ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > I remind you that President Obama’s time in office will be coming to an end in a couple of years. We know you’re still very angry and hurt that he was elected and then re-elected to a second term, and those feelings make you want to lash out. But now it’s time for you and the other Komment Secshun Kroosaderz to rest. Put away your cheat sheet of five anti-Obama jokes and relax in front of the TV. Unwind, put your work boots on the coffee table, and chuckle along with some Fox News while enjoying a can of cold domestic light beer. Spend more time with your family, or if you’re feeling especially generous, less time. Your long, hard job is done. There’s a new generation of patriots ready to take the mantle and steer the country back on track. > > _God bless America._ This.

I had to vote for Obama. Carter was a bad President and I’m not taking any chances on another white guy. ---

Another hit-and-run “I’ll show those guys how angry I am!” post. Awe inspiring. :rolleyes: I see this in a lot of right wing people. Make a stupid comment that only displays your own anger and discomfort with the world, then wait for someone… _ANYONE_ to support you. Sneer and walk away when that doesn’t happen. Because, you know, Fox News and the right wing radio hosts get to do this sort of thing all day long, without any factual basis for support, and then listen to callers, co-hosts and guest support them with even more inflammatory statements that don’t even have to make any sense because ENTERTAINMENT! ---
