Default Re: Obama Celebration Flag

Spreading the hate a bit more are you?

By the way...Notice how quickly that flag disappeared? Right after one of the fellows in front of that flag turned around and sneared at it? OBVIOUSLY, whoever the individual was that brought that flag, wasn't being 'accepted' by those that saw them with the flag, and so the flag was lowered and removed...

BUT, of course not only the media has to make something more about it...But thanks to individuals like yourself still wanting to play the 'hate Obama' game, they have that limited viewpoint being bandied about to keep the fearmongering going....

My observation is this though...This is America. As such, ALL political parties are welcomed and accepted to exsist in the US. That means...Even a COMMUNIST political group and their supporters. Just cause some of them may have supported Obama, doesn't make Obama Communist himself.

Also, just as there were Obama supporters there too, it's not unexpected that there wouldn't be anti-Obama supporters there as well, willing to do whatever to paint a false message to the media in order to keep the anti-Obama sentiments alive.

Which MEANS that the person with the flag? You can't prove either way if that person was there as a supporter for Obama, or someone in the crowd stirring up trouble (anti-Obama) in hopes to paint supporters of Obama in a negative light...

So that video clip proves absolutely nothing in regards to Obama himself...Although it does prove that even after the votes are in, there's still people in the media as well as on the boards, willing to post anything negative they can even remotely hope to attach to Obama in order to keep the hate flowing...

Thanks redd...That makes you one of those still engaging in the mudslinging as well as hatemongering.

I can't help but think of all those times somebody accused me of "Bush Bashing".
I believe it was typically a discussion regarding White House POLICY...

But I'm sure the above is obviously not "Obama bashing" to some, that I'm sure will not continue on for the next four years...
< end sarcasm >

Maybe I should be thankful they didn't liken it to the "dancing in the streets" after the World Trade Center fell...

Considering we've already had one nut-job that put a backwards "B" on her face, then blamed "a black man", it wouldn't surprise me in the least if somebody saw a TV News Camera and an Obama celebration and decided to try to smear the celebration.

But of course, the previous nut-job was quickly embraced by Obama bashers, without even pausing to wonder why the "B" was BACKWARDS...
Maybe if she was accusing a Duke LaCrosse player, she would have gotten more skepticism...

Ditto.
But even then it was because I was condemning something BUSH did, not some wackjob in front of the White House.

Should we assume that McCain is a KKK member since we've seen a photo of a guy at his rally wearing a "no Ni----rs. It's a WHITE House."

Earlier this evening I wrote how I will be accused of bashing nomatter what I write...

This thread is a perfect example...

Here is ALL that I wrote in reference to the topic...

Quote:
The Great Bear's happy...
Notice the "" and not "" or ""...Simply the fact that a communist flag was seen at an Obama presidential celebration...

The response?...

I personally get accused of "hate"...amd I'm using an exact word...

This sort of kneejerk attack on the messenger is the exact line I was talking about in the above sourced thread...

It's come to a situation where whether or not I believe something is 1% or 99% relevant, it will be treated as if it's 100% not...Making anything on my mind public receives the response that I may personally go f*ck myself...

Should I not have an opinion?...Should I avoid the forum because I will be attacked regardless of the content?...Are we now in a world where the slightest disagreement receives brownshirt treatment (this, of course, right before everyone jumps over themselves to "thank" the original attacker)...

Obama supporters are increasingly showing that tolerance is unacceptable to those who don't fall in line with the idea of believing we now have someone who will "push the waters back and heal the planet"...

As much as I disagree with many on this forum, one thing I've NEVER done is make that person feel unwelcome...

And that's the way I'm starting to feel about my own home...

C'mon redd. You are just an innocent bystander? Lets wait until Obama does something to rag him about. Its like we have to have a thousand little digs at him. Even if he has nothing to do with it his name is on the thread. And that is a coincidental?

My guess is that we'll hear nothing but "hallelujahs" over Obama's presidency from the left. No honest criticism, nothing but praise and adulation. at least we on the right have consistently criticized Pres. Bush for his spending bill approvals and how he's handled immigration reform. I can almost guaratnee you the only thing we will hear from the left is praise for Obama and never a word of criticism - at least that's been the pattern so far and I don't see any evidence of it changing.

He hasn't said/done anything I disagree with yet. Except for his stand on gay marriage. And I"ve been very outspoken about it.
