Næt. Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Honestly, what is all the hate for Obe about? There are some srsly wacky claims knocking around; he's the anti-christ, he's a muslim, he'll institute a 'black empire'. He's a fascist, he's a socialist, he has a baby-killing agenda. You get the idea. WTF? Link to post Share on other sites

gwitcoy Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 maybe its because he is one of the few people in the political world who look like they have a bit of life to them so people just think 'gosh, he could be anything' i won't listen until the word zombie is mentioned, it has to roll around eventually.

thylacine Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 People in my church say he's going to arrest Christians & conservatives & put them in camps. Anyone who voted for Obama is a Judas, because he is in fact a "communist." (I don't say these things, certain other people whom I shall not identify said these things, because they will burn down my house if they think I voted for a democrat instead of a republican, because God is against the democrats, because the democrats are all feminists and communists and liberals and-and-and... etc.) Link to post Share on other sites

thecynicalromantic Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's because he's a Democrat and black and an urbanite and literate and articulate and has a funny name, and some people in the country are still stuck in the Civil War and can't believe that one of Those People made it into power, something must be totally wrong here, they were promised boring white people until the end of time! Also, Obama made a public recognition of American religious pluralism, which pissed off the people who think America Is A Christian Nation, because anyone living in America that's not Christian isn't really American. Also because they're total wackjobs with zero sense of logic whatsoever, which is where we're getting reports of Texans wanting to secede from the Union on the basis of being Real Americans. Also also, they're intimidated because Obama's more attractive than the fat old white guys that have been dominating politics since the US was born. Hence the current right-wing preoccupation with "teabagging" him and the rest of those sexy, sexy liberals. Link to post Share on other sites

niku-bot Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Where I live, the big thing is that he's Muslim. And Muslim automatically equals terrorist. America is supposed to be a Christian nation y'all! Oh and his birth certificate is still an issue here. A big issue. Hm, I'm sure cracked.com did an article on him. Oh, yeah.

Shadow girl Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I don't like him either. He is the worse I've seen so far. He won't even pay attention or consider what anyone is saying about the bailout bill. Yet people think hes like the freakin messiah (As Rush Limbaugh calls him). Whats even more disturbing is that he was chosen by Oprah. Link to post Share on other sites

thylacine Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Why don't I move... ? I dunno. Maybe I like the weather here... ten feet of snow for half the year, then rain and sleet the rest of the year, and if lucky a few day of sun... Plus, I love the way my fellow "evil liberals" and I get to whisper to each other in stairwells, looking over our shoulders, planning our next conspiracy... I've grown fond of hiding in my fallout shelter, too. It's beginning to feel like home... Oh, and speaking of fallout shelters, the nice ladies of my church have informed me that we are living in the End Times, because... well... I guess because there's a black dude in the White House.

heatdissipation Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Honestly, I don't see the point of all the preoccupation over one president, whichever way the concerns happen to lean. Other things are happening in the world. The U.S.A. is not the center of the universe. Link to post Share on other sites
endplusone Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I don't have a problem with people scrutinizing his policy, but often people resort to completely irrational claims and attacks in order to undermine them entirely, or take issue with policy in a way that draws attention to things that are unrelated. Bringing up race, religion, claims of socialism or communism or the fact that he follows the "liberal" political ideology, that he endorses "killing children", etc. are over-exaggerations and distract from the actual policy, issues at hand, and his own merits. It gets to the point where people don't even consider his opinions or the policy that is being shaped in office, but are rather too focused on trying to bring him down. It's petty and ultimately not beneficial for everyone. Do these people who are against Obama dislike the policy because they see the flaws in it, or do they dislike it only because of the person and his supposed traits (Muslim, anti-christ, and so on) who drafted the policy? It annoys me how politics turns otherwise level-headed people into morons. I have a friend in the States who, during the election period, called me up and went on a rant about how Obama is Muslim and is trying to bring down the Christians, yadda yadda. I don't know what propaganda she was listening to, but it becomes difficult to take someone seriously after that. Link to post Share on other sites

endplusone Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I thought signs of the "end time" were highly revered as signifying the impending second coming of Jesus. You'd think it would be considered positive. Link to post Share on other sites
