I think it's just a complete lack of understanding (or even knowledge of the existence) of the idea of an excise tax.

Where was all this shit while Bush was taking all his numerous vacations to his ranch in Texas? Oh, wait, that's a good old boy thing.

You know, not like arranging something that will increase international tourism in a major American city, create a bunch of jobs, and generally be a shot in the arm to our economy well after this term.

Man I'm getting tired of this shit.

There's a logical and sensible reason why the Mainstream Media didn't pick up any of these threads and none of this came up against Bush:

He's white.

Actually, I think he's suggesting that gay awareness will cause our sons to wear woman's underwear and, presumably, "Go Gay".

I think there was a kids song which had "Ooo! Ooo! Obama!" in it, IIRC.

edit: acutally, the song has no Ooo'ing. Here's the lyrics of the one I was thinking of. Maybe it is monkey noises?

I always love how whenever conservatives talk about prayer in public schools, be it through political cartoons or FWD: FWD: RE: FWD e-mails, they treat it as though the SCOTUS ruled on it only yesterday. They always forget to mention when the courts actually ruled on the issue, in 1962 and 1963.

Although it could be taken as very indicative of the conservative world view, which ends in 1959.

why did they draw Obama as fat in that Batman pic?

Everyone knows that the average conservotard is about five hundred pound heavier than the president. Hell weren't they trying to make fun of him for being too healthy during the campaign?

The criticism of Obama's Afghanistan policy is not that we've been at war eight years; it's that he's not made quick, decisive decisions in line with the advice explicitly provided by his combat commanders. Now, he may have good reason for this, but a lot of Republicans are crying out that he's allowed himself to take on other, less important issues while the Afghan house burns. It's possible to trace ultimate blame back to Bush, of course, but now, the buck stops at Obama's table.

The Batman allusion references the fact that Obama has not been living up to his billing as a leader who is capable of healing all wounds and tackling all issues. (Unsurprising. Who could?)

It's a new political spell, it's called transmute hawks to doves, the only requirement is that you have to have a democrat in the white house after 8 or more years of republican control.

What advice is that? I've heard nothing about Afghanistan since the latest Taliban raid and conservative snipes.
Now, he may have good reason for this, but a lot of Republicans are crying out that he's allowed himself to take on other, less important issues while the Afghan house burns. It's possible to trace ultimate blame back to Bush, of course, but now, the buck stops at Obama's table.
Which would make them hypocrites, for six years we squandered our initial successes in Afghanistan and not a peep from the conservitards.
The Batman allusion references the fact that Obama has not been living up to his billing as a leader who is capable of healing all wounds and tackling all issues. (Unsurprising. Who could?)
Which is a strawman. No one ever said Obama was going to do that, except the Republicans who've made a rediculous fairytale in order to revise reality according to their whims.

Those all make me cry inside...

As I see it, the democrat's strength is also its weakness. They are able to have internal debate, disagree among themselves then come to an eventual compromise that (hopefully) represents the voter's will. This however leaves them weak every time the GOP forms ranks and... well... lies. Also, the democrats don't have a whole freaking news station to herd the masses as FOX does.

>>>The above comments are dependent on my delusion that the government isn't really made up of corrupt politicians following the carrots being dangled by lobbyists. Please don't tell me otherwise; I'm happier this way.<<<
To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticize ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticize and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed. -Rowan Atkinson
