    I won't speak for smoothy but I didn't know "man-child" had racist overtones. Is that one ofthose dog whistles only liberals can hear?

    You would know your history better than I do, but from my knowledge of American history... Well, lets just say I have my suspicions. Obviously I'm not ruling out the possibility I could be wrong.

    Because he acts like a petulant child that throws a tantrum every time he doesn't get his way.


    National parks have NEVER been closed much less barrakaded on ANY of the previous shutdowns as just one example of the many.

    "Boy" OK, but not "man-child." I've never known that to be a problem word. But then again I didn't know "golf" was racist.

    I didn't spend 20 years of my like in Rev Jeramiah Wright's Church listening to his rascist rants like Obama did.

    Here are only two of the many...

    Jeremiah Wright - Obama's mentor - Hate speech - YouTube

    Barack Obama Pastor Jeremiah Wright NEW TAPES!!!! - YouTube

    The Man-child in the Spite house is the racist.

    I'd have walked out of any church or establishment that pulled that sort of stuff on the first day.

    You still tripping over a 20 second portion of a tape from a marine turned pastor? Hell the man has 20 years of sermons and that's all you can find? 5 years is an unhealthy amount of time to dwell over words. Especially given your rant and insults are recorded here forever, and we have a very extensive history by which to judge you.

    If I didn't know you were such a frustrated flaming winger, you might appear to be a racist. You can't be though, because you may holler and squeal, but have no power to affect those you deride.

    Do you actually believe that in 20 years he only said something for 20 seconds?

    THere are VOLUMES of tapes that show it happened almost every week. He actually recorded and sold them.

    But then your side Had Byrd in office for decades... an ex high level Klansman.

    Oh and that's rich... Obama has been Blaming Bush for everything for well OVER 5 years... and he hasn't even accepted respnsibility for the fact he's been the one in office for 2 months shy of 5 years at this point..

    If there are the volumes you say why didn't you righties use them? Why just loop one sound bite? Don't answer that, because that's all you had in those volumes. But I bet you looked hard.

    I don't understand why this is being made a racial issue. It isn't. If Chief Whitecloud proposed this as Whitecloud care, or Joe Schmidt proposed this as Schmidtcare, would you lefties scream that we are prejudiced against Indians or Germans?

    That in it's present state, this healthcare reform is not going to work. Doesn't matter who, or what color, wrote this. It's just not workable as it is right now.

    This is about Constitutionality, not color.

    Nice try, but besides his satire the humor is that people he mentioned (Chris Matthews,Lawrence O'Donnell, Geoffrey Dunn - all true incidents) take it seriously.

    We have, over and over... the problem is the average Democrat has an attention span of a 3 year old. They are lucky to remember what they ate for breakfast today much less anything that happened list week or last year.

    Hell some of them think Bush is still in office.

    Dude, give it up. You're not being successful at covering up the fact you didn't recognize his style as satire, but then I should have known not enter into a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

    It's odd because are the only one perpetuating this "dog whistle" thing even though it's apparently only a joke... a joke made by a fellow righty.

    Same thing with the messiah thing.. or the emperor thing.. the righties are the only ones calling him that. Are these jokes too? How old are you guys anyway? It shows your level of intellect.

    Then they should stop treating everything he says like its gospel from the mouth of the messiah himself.

    He lies constantly... and any thinking person knows it's a lie... but if anyone contradicts the Messiah... its like Muslims over a cartoon of Mo HAM Ed... they get their panties in a knot and start killing people and blowing things up.

    We call it like it is because he's treated exactly like some religious figure. In fact he's treated MORE like a religious figure by democrats than the Pope is by Catholics.

    As if this hasn't been posted before, but the origins of us calling him the Messiah:

    "We have an amazing story to tell," she said. "This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light."

    -- Michelle Obama

    "Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus."

    -- Politiken (Danish newspaper)

    "No one saw him coming, and Christians believe God comes at us from strange angles and places we don't expect, like Jesus being born in a manger."

    --Lawrence Carter

    "Many even see in Obama a messiah-like figure, a great soul, and some affectionately call him Mahatma Obama."

    -- Dinesh Sharma


    "We just like to say his name. We are considering taking it as a mantra."

    -- Chicago] Sun-Times

    "A Lightworker -- An Attuned Being with Powerful Luminosity and High-Vibration Integrity who will actually help usher in a New Way of Being"

    -- Mark Morford

    "He communicates God-like energy..."

    -- Steve Davis (Charleston, SC)

    "I'll do whatever he says to do. I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."

    -- Halle Berry

    "A quantum leap in American consciousness"

    -- Deepak Chopra

    "He is not operating on the same plane as ordinary politicians.
    .. . The agent of transformation in an age of revolution, as a figure uniquely qualified to open the door to the 21st century."

    -- Gary Hart

    "Barack Obama is our collective representation of our purest hopes, our highest visions and our deepest knowings . . . He's our product out of the all-knowing quantum field of intelligence."

    -- Eve Konstantine

    "This is bigger than Kennedy.. . This is the New Testament." | "I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often. No, seriously. It's a dramatic event."

    -- Chris Matthews

    "We're here to evolve to a higher plane.. . He is an evolved leader.. . [he] has an ear for eloquence and a Tongue dipped in the Unvarnished Truth."

    -- Oprah Winfrey

    We aren't the ones that made him a Messiah, but then you all already know that.
