I had really hoped that maybe people would just give Obama a chance

Apparently this was very foolish of me.

John Stewart gives us a taste of what the Right is saying.

Gosh, this really *is* taking the Republic back to its early days. Our candidate didn't win? Let's plot sedition and reject the will of the people!

I particularly like Bill O'Reilly saying that we have to sacrifice our core values when the nation is being threatened.

now why would the right wingers give him a chance, he's done more in a week than their guy did in 8 years... damn sour grapes...

Pisses me off too, finally have a president who earns the title and pay from our tax dollars, not an idiot who can't string together a sentence and tie his shoes at the same time....

Bush wore shoes? Wow. You learn something new every day!

Huh. If you can sacrifice your core values, those values couldn't be very "valuable" in the first place. Else, your core was empty all along.

How about this one:

That's repellent, and the site is certainly full of loathsome stuff, but that page does not (at least currently) exist on that wiki. Either it existed and has been deleted (an appropriate response, but if they're that loony, why would they bother?) or it's a mockup that someone created and then circulated.

It got widely distributed and really did go past the usual "joke" barrier, so they may have scrubbed it. Wonkette had a direct link, but when I looked the hate-o-pedia had been taken offline.

Bill O'Reilly has values?

Why do republicans hate America?

I'm so glad I still have a reason for thei icon.

I'm afraid that after watching that show, I've discovered that in order to keep my blood pressure down I'll have to stop watching. I can not take it anymore, not even with John Stewart as the filter.

This was not what I meant when I put Republican on my voter registration. I'm not at all sad that I now show "Independant/Other".

Yeah, I'm just horrified that the level of political debate has sunk to this.

I can only imagine how my grandmother, the former GOP ward operative from New Haven, is spinning in her grave.

Of course, that would have started with Ronald Reagan. "Lace curtain Irish", I'm sure she would have called him. :-)

Those guys have been insane for years. I guess you don't suddenly become sane just because you lose power. I pity you having to live with them :-(

[winterbadger]

It's pretty depressing. It seems as if over there, the really horrifying loonies get punted to the fringe and the Tories, no matter how bad or wrongheaded are most of them at least prepared to engage in *some* civil discourse. But that may just be showing my lack of suffucient exposure to political dialogue there. :-)

I like to go over to Michelle Malkin's comment threads and laugh. Especially at the people bitching that Michelle Obama has shoulders like a linebacker. Because that's SOMEHOW AT ALL RELEVANT, EVEN IF IT'S TRUE, WHICH I DON'T THINK IT IS, BUT SO WHAT IF SHE'S BUFF?

Oh! This is JUST if you have extra time to shop and space in the luggage, but if there was any chance you could bring me a bag of bagel chips, I'd really appreciate it. I have one but that's almost empty....

[winterbadger]

Any brand or flavour? I've already had one person ask me to bring back some of the new Walkers squirrel crisps...

[pisica.livejournal.com]

Oh, I just looked at the ones I have and they are New York brand style or something like that. But as I say, anything is great.

[ban-leodhasach.livejournal.com]

Good luck finding the squirrel crisps, they are like gold dust! I've managed to find 2 bags so far and they were for Builders Breakfast and Hoisin Duck!

I can't believe a so called news station can broadcast utter rubbish! I know no channel is ever completely unbiased, but Fox doesn't even appear to be trying to hide the fact the are pro right wing!!

At least you have had the opportunity to vote in change - I have come to the conclusion all our MP's come from the same cesspit of a gene pool!
