Comparing the cleanliness of the post-Beck rally to the Barackalyptic Inauguration Weekend

DING DING DING

and we have a winner.

The first lefty to see a race angle!

Give that VJer a cigar!

Just because you guys make sure to set up your important "points" for plausible deniability doesn't mean the motivation is invisible to people who aren't in a coma.

Obama is middle of the road. He is waaaay too far to the right for most "Liberals." He's pretty much followed W's lead on all things hawky, or done him one "better." There's not any legitimate support for the notion that he's hellbent on turning you all into helpless cogs in a big scary commie machine, or whatever the fantasy is.

The uproar since Obama's election is irrational, frightening, and utterly out of proportion to Obama's actual deeds. The real source of the massive histrionic overreaction is obvious and sad.

And I wouldn't care if you all spent the rest of your lives snarling impotently about imaginary crimes, except that you are contributing from your basement fortresses to the fearmongering and the hate that is ramping up to obscene, shameful levels and successfully creating an atmosphere of violence, xenophobia, and racism.

It's the easiest thing in the world to pretend all that hate and intolerance has nothing to do with you. But that's a lie.

Things have gotten too real for this sh*t. Too dangerous. It was never okay, but it has become absolutely indefensible to gleefully lie, scorn, and demonize and then plead ignorance when people get hurt. Lazily hateful and sick.

Two different classes of people... two different results.

Working class versus the welfare class..... who do you think picked up after themselves?

Not sure what that long post has to do with -you seeing race.. where no one else did but ... carry on.

[Danno 1,228]

As if that weren't the insinuation of the OP.

You saw what you wanted too, I was thinking more on a political bent but I guess we can get Racial milage out of it since you see it that way.

Obama is far enough to the left that there's no real challenge from his left. Sure Obama has tried to be more hawkish than Bush on Afghanistan but his ridiculous withdrawal timetable has helped out the Taliban more than most people realize.

The "uproar" against Obama's policies are fueled by his incompetence with almost all aspects of the economy. Since you base all of you're thinking on race, it's clear you haven't been outside your basement since Jan. 2009 or longer.

Dangerous? Ok, sure. Let us know when and where the revolution starts so you don't sound as crazy as this post.

[Danno 1,228]

Posting non stories like this is only proof of the fact that some posters couldn't recognise real news if their lives depended on it.

Harping on about "non stories" again?

Why don't you post a "real" news story and show us how it's done?

In order for your premise to buy any legitimacy at all, you'd have to direct me to the proportionally greater uproar from you and the rest of the detractors over W's precedent-setting fiscal incompetence. What's that you say? You can't find the links right now?

Disingenuous doesn't even begin to hit it. But hey, call me crazy instead. If I'm just a loon you don't have to answer any of the contradictions or hypocrisy and can continue the awkward dance of pretending you just woke up yesterday to find your voice against all kinds of executive-level folly. How was your sleep? Quite deep, I take it.

Along with the hilarious "it's about the policies!" meme, the other thing I notice is the habit of dropping snide little dismissals instead of constructing thoughtful arguments or responding to clear points of debate. This behavior is the purview of those who either don't have thoughtful arguments to back up their positions, or don't have the chops to make those arguments.

And FYI: the once-novel tactic of accusing people who call out racism as the True racists--You said it first!! Racist!!!--is going to lose any mojo it ever had in about three...two...no wait--it's over. I suggest you go dig up the next pithy and dishonest method of counterattack with a quickness, as this one is officially a limp rag translating roughly as "I know you are but what am I."

So come with it or drop it.

[twowls 217]

The defense rests. I would praise you for your subtle irony but I can't, based on your emissions so far, give you that much credit.

Good luck with that. At least this is another case (you) of someone else pointing out the obvious!

Danno fools very few people here.

People who cram environmental friendly attitudes down our throat should be held at a higher standard.

People who cram environmental friendly attitudes down our throat should be held at a higher standard.

Indeed, and if the people that create unwarranted, incongruous, fake critiques on those people, are doing so- they should also be expected to follow suit.

Then again, I don't ram things down your throat- its better you learn these things for yourself by becoming a little more educated as to what's behind the reasoning and what isn't.

Considering Obama has been more fiscally irresponsible in less than two years than Bush wasin 8 years, your point is moot. BTW, the economy was never an issue for the Left until 2008. Most liberals only wanted to talk about Gitmo, the Patriot Act and the Iraq War during the bulk of Bush's tenure. They didn't have to much of choice as they help and the GOP fouled up the housing market.

Ok, I'll call you crazy. You could try to qualify your statements beyond muttering on about contradictions, hypocrisy and dancing. I could easily list my complaints with Bush but how would that helpful now? I do sleep soundly, thanks but you're clearly stuck in the Bush era and handing out blank checks to Obama and crew.
