        Me too.

        Barack's response is too easy, though.

          These idiots from Fox News are going to question and criticize EVERTHING Obama does. This is sickening. America claims to be a civilized nation but hateful people in high places are leading others to commit violence; and “responsible” leaders (Republican Party, conservatives) are doing nothing to deter them.
          This accepted repetitive bickering and stupidity from “professional broadcasters” is an indictment of the country’s intelligence and tolerance.
          Are American people that un-educated and gullible? Can they be led so easily by deranged fanatics?
          This has been going on for too long, in fact it has been constant since Obama’s nomination, with no end in sight. Such evil talk can only lead to disenchantment and violence from those who “want their country back!!”
          Why is the FCC not taking action or try to restore some sense of integrity and civility?
          Hell, the FCC should be under scrutiny for a lack of order and responsibility. Let a black man violate FCC rules and policies and see what happens.
          If there is a God these diabolical infidels (Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean [Klan]nity and Bill O’Reilly) WILL be punished for their willingness to wage warfare among the people while sending out subliminal messages disguised as News.

            You are so correct. However, let them rant so the entire world understands they are a bunch of pure racists. Look, I am a Republican, but these guys like Rush and Hannity are huge embarrassments to me because they are so unGodly. Frankly, their behavior alone has caused a huge exodus from our party. I am still a Republican so I can speak out against the racism in our party from inside the party. It truly is a sad day for the party to have these blow hards trying to set the agenda of our party and to give the impression that their racist philosophy represents the common thinking of Republicans. It is simply an ego trip for them. More and more, thinking Republicans understand that the Hannity and Limbaugh, etc. racism and hate filled speech is losing elections for Republicans. You can see how lacking in power the Hannitys and Limbaughs of this country truly are because of the 2008 landslide election results for Mr. Obama. God has a way of holding bigots accountable and He surely showed whose side He was on last election! Obama not only won but he won big.

              I honestly wish there were more republicans like you. I know they're out there, but they're becoming harder to come by. I have a feeling, you and I, would probably disagree a lot about policy, but we'd probably both come away learning something new, or maybe, just maybe, changing each other's viewpoint just a little bit, and if we could get everyone doing that, then we'd be at work, and getting some stuff done.

              Unfortunately, it's not like that these days. Days are gone when Tip and Ronnie sat down, and had long talks, and discussed policy.

          Democrats will be wise NOT to reduce them-selves to the level of stupidity and hate; or engage Republicans in tit for tat debates because that is a battle Democrats can’t win. Republicans are doing all the things the next man won’t, or can’t do.
          Republicans no longer give a damn about their image, integrity or democracy; that makes them dangerous. Their actions are those of a desperate man.
          Republicans are using the media to help distract, distort and mislead and the American people despite the failures of the last eight years in office.
          Republicans throw dirt and lie the way they do believing they have nothing more to lose (after the election).
          If Republicans bring down this President in their current state of mind and regain power America, the great, is DOOMED!!!

        Well, Rush has this one pretty solid. Michelle has shown contempt for America even as she has benefited in ways most Americans could never dream of.

          The only thing solid Rush has are the bowel movements that fall out of his head...
          Repubs are the masters of projection and this proves it. Eight years of getting what you wanted as it damaged the country - not a peep from you clowns.
          Now all of your panties are in a twist 'cause you didn't get what you wanted last November and suddenly it's "secession" and "revolution".

          Pathetic.

          Oh really? Examples of how she's benefitted in ways most Americans couldn't dream of? Examples of how she has shown contempt for America?

          Oh, right, you don't have any.

      Limpy, its not that she's not proud of her country -- its that she's not proud of certain media mouthpieces who think they speak for all of it.

      Come to think of it, neither am I . . .

        Looks like Lindsey Graham is getting tired of it too!

        Can you imagine writing the Constitution — you know, O'Reilly says Ben Franklin’s giving in on something. Can you imagine having to do that in this environment? [Graham said]

        Without missing a beat, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg next asked for Graham's thoughts on Glenn Beck.

        "Only in America can you make that much money crying," Graham said.


        If Scarborough is still keeping that list of republican representatives denouncing hate speech, Lindsey is his first entry!

          Graham is so frustrating because, for a Republican, he just maeks so much SENSE at times. And yet at other times, he's right of the cliff iwth the wingnuts. I could totally see him switching parties though, if he was caught in a Rino hunt.

      Okay El-Rushbo, lets go with your rant about what "sacrifice" means.

      What in the hell have you done to sacrifice for this country?

      These people on the right have no shame, no common decency. We saw it with Paul Welstone, and more recently with Teddy Kennedy. They will say anything, attack anybody in an effort to destroy this presidency. I don't recall these attacks on Laura Bush or Barbara Bush (although Al Franken had an interesting true story to tell about her in one of his books), yet these people don't think twice about attacking Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Clinton before her. It's disgusting.

      A south side Chicago African American girl, born of working class parents during the civil rights era, becomes the first lady of the United States and THIS is how you judge her. Empathy has no place in pimple-butt's arsenal.

      I believe the flecks of froth at the corner of Rush's mouth aren't the customary residuals of his daily banana cream pie binge, but are indeed a sign that he must, sadly, be put down.

      Someone, get me the kid from Old Yeller. I got a job for him.
