WND pushing Obama impeachment
October 08, 2009 8:18 am ET by Media Matters staff
From an October 8 column by WorldNetDaily columnists Floyd and Mary Beth Brown:
As a moderator of discussion on the blog www.exposeobama.com, Floyd has observed the discussion of impeachment is mushrooming amongst conservative activists.
[...]
Impeachment is no more or less than the recall of an elected official who isn't up to the job. Obama deserves recall much more than Gov. Gray Davis, and he was replaced by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a special recall election Oct. 7, 2003, in California.
America is a monument to the triumph of freedom. When Barack Obama thinks about freedom, he sees a world in which some people, due to personal initiative and good fortune, will do better than others. In that regard, he is right. But Barack Obama sees that as unfair. Where you see freedom, liberty and the opportunity for any American to be all that he or she can be, Obama sees greed and bigotry.
Like so many on the far-left before him, going all the way back to Karl Marx, he believes that it's his mission to promote "equality of outcome" over "equality of opportunity." This worldview makes Barack Hussein Obama a very dangerous man, and a threat to your personal liberty.
Worldview explains why he has gobbled-up major banks and why the government now controls more and more of our money. And if you wake up one day to discover you're broke, don't be surprised. Barack Hussein Obama is Bernie Madoff with the political power of the presidency at his disposal.
Worldview explains why Obama intends to take away your freedom to choose your own doctor and your own treatment. Wherever government controls health care, bureaucrats decide who gets treatments, transplants, dialysis and costly medication.
The groundswell of calls for the impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama is growing.
In the column, WND promoted its "Exclusive!" "IMPEACH Obama Magnetic Bumper Sticker" with the promotional text, "Let the world know your solution to tyranny and socialism in America with the magnetic bumper sticker: 'IMPEACH OBAMA!'"
WND also has an online poll asking readers, "FIRED WITH ENTHUSIASM: What do you think of the call to impeach President Obama?" From the poll's top 5 responses:
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
The Friday Rush: A series of conflicts
Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
In terms of the unquestionable validity of their research, I think I can go them one better:
What do you think of the call to impeach Obama? (Sorry, that should be "Barack Hussein Obama")
1. Definitely
2. Absolutely
3. Certainly
4. Positively
5. Immediately
Major republicans will at some point call for impeachment as surely as the sun will come up. This is just putting a marker on the trail.
(And of course Bush actually deserved impeachment.)
How many people's opinions make up a "groundswell"?
After all, there's a "groundswell of calls" in my household to buy a bigger TV. The groundswell was just my wife, and she convinced me this might be a good idea.
So now there's two of us, which I guess means the groundswell is "growing."
These are the gun toting, bigotted, evangelical, anti-government, pro-life wingnutters who accept medicare and cash their social security checks at the check cashing store because they don't have bank accounts; these 22 percenters think that they have a right to overthrow the lawfully elected President just because they don't like him. They are the ones that disrupt town halls because they are told by Fox News that Democrats want to kill granny. But if you ask them specifically what they are protesting - most won't be able to give a coherent reason. They show up when they are told to but only because whatever corporation is funding the protests, provide transportation to the events. These people will never change, never listen, and never compromise and therefore should be ignored - they are lost and we need not try to appease them.
It is the other 25% of the moderates and independants that we need to concentrate on and acknowledge that they do have some stake in getting these reforms correct. We should try and get those people on board to keep moving forward.
There were roughly 129,000,000 votes cast for President.
So, according to MATH, those out and proud real Amercans are 42.5% of the votes!!
That's how you do Amercan electoral MATH!!
However, the polls that the 22% comes from don't contact children, etc., but potential voters. That 22% is roughly 22% of the potential vote.
But thanks for pointing out why our kids are, roughly, 17th in the world when it comes to math and science. "Amercan electoral math is to blame.
I should have noticed the name -- WALSTIB -- that's a dead giveaway (and one of the first on-line names i used, like, 20 years ago it seems).
Even 'though, I admire your restrained response when you thought 'e was serious about dat . . . .
Baaa...
As the shepherd once said, "Let's get the flock outta here."
We must be vigilant, if you notice the Republicans in some sense has try to pull away from the media so that they won't be seen as the "PARTY OF NO" they are hoping to hold out until the midterm election and if they are lucky, they hope to take over a large percentage of the seats and they will be able to stop President Obama on anything that he is not able to pass now and if they are successful, they will hope that President Obama will be a one-term president.
WE MUST GO OUT AND VOTE DURING THE MID-TERM ELECTIONS TO HOLD THE SEATS IN BOTH CONGRESS AND THE HOUSE!!!! PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT!!!!
Hmm.. Methinks wanton, unilateral violation of treaties to which the soverign is a ratifying party, as well as summary abbroagation of civil liberties by George W. would be a much stronger case to meet the constitutional requirement for impeachment than anything we've seen since Nixon.
Good thing the current Speaker of the House has some respect for democracy, and the fabric of the nation, or else we might have gone through another impeachment fiasco in 2006, albeit deserved.
So let's not go throwing around impeachment as a political tool. That's not what it's supposed to be used for. Now, to convince WND and friends to show some discretion in their political discourse, that's probably asking too much...
Obama's only crimes are that he won and he's a black Democrat.
Seeing as how that was another fake controversy designed to give Republicans a win, it's a low bar to set.
>>The groundswell of calls for the impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama is growing.
But you can't impeach him over his name.
Let's see them get more than half the House to say that out loud without laughing, then we'll talk.
Actually, the Constitution is very clear as to what impeachment is: "Section 4. The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
Needless to say, WND doesn't have any Constitutional scholars on staff... apparently they also lack people who can read plain English.
Please tell me that you're not surprised at that...
"I CAN"T BELIEVE WE'RE TALKING IMPEACHMENT WHEN WE HAVEN'T EVEN SETTLED THE QUESTION OF ELIGIBILITY"
SHOW US YER SMALLPOCKS VACINEATION!!!!!
Add "impeachment = recall" to their list of words that the use, yet have no idea what they mean:
facsist = socialist
reconciliation = nuclear option
voter registration fraud = voter fraud
(It goes on and on.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
These people are sofa king stupid.
I don't think it measn what you you think it means.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
INCONCEIVABLE!
(I do use a lefty hockey stick, though.)
I am emailing the CEO's of AT&T and Dell and asking them why they are supporting a web site that is calling for the violent overthrow of our government.
Then, the Senate w-i-l-l- ??
I can see the results:
98% - yes
0% - no
2% - undecided
Imagine that, advocating an overthrow of a democratically elected president because he's black. Who was it again who said that conservatives could give a rat's @ss about the color of a man's skin again?
(496 PEOPLE ACCUALLY TOOK TIME TO "vote" IN THIS POLL). IT JUST GOES TO PROOVE THAT ANYONE WITH A COMPUTER AND A LITTLE TIME CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF A BLOG...CUZ THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE WITH NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO DO WITH THEIR LIVES BUT SCRATCH THEIR BUTTS AND COME UP WITH SOME MINI-CONTOVERCY...PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS VOTED IN BY A MAJORITY OF THE VOTERS...SO GET OVER IT.
I'm glad he mentioned this though:
"Obama deserves recall much more than Gov. Gray Davis, and he was replaced by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a special recall election Oct. 7, 2003, in California."
Not the Obama part. That's just stupid. But why no recall of Arnold? The state is in much worse shape now than when Davis was Gov.
#1 - It took two people to craft this? Really? Floyd couldn't piece it together on his own, eh? Swell.
#2 - Let me get this straight (forgive me a moment, I don't watch Glenn Beck, so I'm suuuuuuper dumb at getting how things work):
Floyd, a moderator on exposeobama.com, observed discussion about impeachment between conservative activists on said website and he considers this to be a groundswell? Was he shocked to hear such talk there or something?
#3 - I hear so much about what he's gonna do or what he intends to do or what he wants to do that deserves action, but I hear so precious little about what he has done already to deserve impeachment/scorn/ridicule/whathaveyou.

Frankly, I wish these people would have a nice, hot cup of STFU, so thinking people can spend their time properly taking Obama to task for failing to do what he said he came to do (get out of Iraq, get a public option done, ax Blackwater, etc etc etc) instead of swatting down moonbat (f)lies all the time.
If anything will show how superbly asinine and crazy these people are, it would be bringing these cockroaches out of their rotted woodwork into the light.
It would be a pure joy to see these crackpots try to put together a case of impeachment against a President who won office by a comfortable margin.
As to Obama being a Socialist/Marxist, WAKE UP! He's barely a liberal. He's further to the right than Eisenhower was (who financed the highway system with a straight tax; if Obama did it, it'd be some kind of goofy 'private-public' partnership in an attempt to appease the dragons on the right).
Wake up and smell the coffee, guys.
