And you can turn it around as well. People are outraged, “look at the hate that President Obama has received!” But were they just as vocal at the treatment our previous president received?
Although I remember Russell Brand hosting the MTV awards and saying our then President was mentally retarded. I remember that when people had signs with Obama as Hitler it was a new level of hatred, but when Bush was portrayed as Hitler most of us didn’t complain.
With Clinton though I’m sure it was just as bad. You had Jerry Falwell supporting videos that alleged Clinton had Vince Foster murdered and was running cocaine as well, Rush Limbaugh comparing Chelsea Clinton to the White House dog, then later apologized and said she can’t help the way she looks.
Christopher Hitchens was calling then President Clinton a rapist. That’s just off the top of my head.
The Dixie Chicks were crucified for daring to say they were ashamed to be from Bush’s state, yet batshit crazy Ted Nugent spews the most hateful lies about Obama and the right just shrugs it off with “well, the Democrats do it too.” Like fucking hell we do.

Well then boycott Ted Nugents concerts and albums. What do you expect from Dixie Chicks fans who are predominantly country music fans and who tend yo be conservative. Be mad the left isn’t vocal on these things that Ted Nugent says. I agree with you though that Nugent seems to be a despicable guy.
I don’t know about that. Policies aside, a lot of people hated Bush because simply because he was a rich white Ivy League Republican oil billionaire who picked up the family political business.
The fact is, whether it’s meant to or not, putting on a caricature mask of Obama just looks pretty freakin’ racist.
That would be difficult since conservatives tend to be much more religious than liberals. It’s very rare when I hear liberals citing Revelation. Or using scripture to support legislation. I think a more comparable example would be how many people compared Bush to Hitler or thought he would be like Hitler, and compare that to the Obama is the Anti Christ.
I don’t think I used the term “very few”, so I don’t know what you are referencing.
You are the one that claimed that your cites showed people that claimed that Bush was the Anti-Christ, and I corrected that error, and now you want me to compile statistics to help you prove your point? Do your own homework…and you might want to actually check out the links you provide next time.
schizophrenia.com-that was a real keeper. :rolleyes:
Anyone really interested in how the ravings of a demented monk became Scripture should read Elaine Pagel’s Revelations: Visions, Prophecy, and Politics in the Book of Revelation Just happen to have the Amazon link here:
Well, ok - Obama is black. How do you make fun of him, mock him, parody him, lampoon him without being accused of racism?
We know the answer to that one already, but just thought I’d throw it out there.
