When are the Good people of this country going to say ENOUGH!

[DearAbby]

They have compared him to Hitler, to Satan, now a baby killer. This is our PRESIDENT. They have continuously shown this President, a man we have chosen to be our leader by majority vote, disrespect...they don't just attack our President (which is bad enough) They attack us all. This is an insult for each and every one of us who voted for Obama.

Goddammit America, stand up and say ENOUGH!

[elleng]

1. We will, in November!

[Solomon]

2. Dont worry.

The tsunami is coming.

[Neue Regel]

3. Many people at this site are actively discouraging 68 million people from voting Democratic

As is evidenced by the insulting thread that's been allowed to stay open for comment for about 18 hours now:

It is time to make known your dissent from the Catholic Church, in light of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops’ ruthless campaign endangering the right to contraception. If you're part of the Catholic Church, you're part of the problem.

Why are you propping up the pillars of a tyrannical and autocratic, woman-hating, sex-perverting, antediluvian Old Boys Club? Why are you aiding and abetting a church that has repeatedly and publicly announced a crusade to ban contraception, abortion and sterilization, and to deny the right of all women everywhere, Catholic or not, to decide whether and when to become mothers? When it comes to reproductive freedom, the Roman Catholic Church is Public Enemy Number One. Think of the acute misery, poverty, needless suffering, unwanted pregnancies, social evils and deaths that can be laid directly at the door of the Church's antiquated doctrine that birth control is a sin and must be outlawed.


No self-respecting feminist, civil libertarian or progressive should cling to the Catholic faith. As a Cafeteria Catholic, you chuck out the stale doctrine and moldy decrees of your religion, but keep patronizing the establishment that menaces public health by serving rotten offerings. Your continuing Catholic membership, as a "liberal," casts a veneer of respectability upon an irrational sect determined to blow out the Enlightenment and threaten liberty for women worldwide. You are an enabler. And it’s got to stop.



I don't know about you, but an open letter like that makes me want to run out and vote for Democrats en masse! And not just vote for them; I also want canvass for them, phone bank for them, donate to them, and fight for them!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_the_United_States#Demographics

There are 68,503,456 registered Catholics in the United States (22% of the US population) according to the American Bishops' count in their Official Catholic Directory 2010.

5. They are not

They are telling those people to Stop enabling the Catholic church.

7. Really? Is that all?

Because when I read it, the message I get is "...blah blah blah such a worthless piece of shit organization, how can you be so stupid as to belong it it......blah blah...you support people who molest boys...blah blah...nazis, all of you....blah blah blah....you hate women, children, and especially babies....blah blah ...SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR STUPID FUCKING IMAGINARY SKY FRIEND!!!....such a simpleton...blah blah blah how can you live with yourself, you've harmed innumerable people and done nothing good....blah blah...you're with us or against us....blah blah...quit now and maybe i won't hold you in such low esteem as i do now, but that's debatable because why would I want someone on my side who once was so horrible a person that they were willing to actively support the world's foremost hategroup?...blah blah blah?"

9. Well said. I commented to a person who said that, their thread got locked.

[donheld]

12. Where did they say not to vote?

[Fawke Em]

15. That's the way I read it, too.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

10. x 2

6. Your allegience to the Democratic Party must be awfully weak

if a post on a political discussion board that has a couple of thousand active members might dissuade you from voting for Obama.

Catholic bishops and priests have a far greater influence of anti-Obama influence than any criticism of the religious and religious misogyny.

[MrSlayer]

4. Approximately half the country is right on board.

America is not going to say "enough" any more than they did for Bush. The country is completely polarized. They HATE Obama and they hate us. We merely think they're stupid. Don't expect respect from these people ever.

[FiveGoodMen]

16. "We merely think they're stupid"

No, I hate them right back.

Doesn't accomplish much, but still.

[hfojvt]

8. Whoa, this is odd

I am having flashbacks to 2003.

It's like deja vu all over again.

[Rex]

11. I don't watch the TVEE...I will get to mad.

AND YEAH KNOW I remember people telling me and I saw people saying on the TVEE looky box when George Bush was in office...HOW DARE you say anything bad about our commander and chief!!! What a bunch of two faced clowns!

[Javaman]

13. Hopefully in November...

If Obama wins (which I'm sure he will), hopefully it will send a message to all the right wing half wits that the attacks of teh stupid don't work.

but alas, some right wing "genius" will ignore that and come the spring, summer and fall of 2016, we will be subject to more stupidity.

[Bake]

14. I think that's coming in about nine months ...

The whole Republican brand goes down the toilet in November, from the anti-union, anti-school teachers, anti-women, anti-everything tenth-century mentality. Down the crapper. And the idiots will never see it coming.

17. Sounds good

Also sounds like what we thought after the '08 elections.

[Bake]

19. True, but the Repugs have gotten even MORE extreme since then.

The Girl Scouts???? Birth control pills? Really?

They're showing their true colors now, which they didn't then. I **hope** the American Pubilc has seen enugh of this shit to see the light.

21. I hope the Americans have had enough as well!

I can't believe it's taken this long.

Here's hoping you're (we're) right.

[MadHound]

18. It is an American pastime,

Presidents are usually excoriated by the members of the opposing party, or simply by people who seriously dislike them and their policies.

Go back through recent history, this is nothing new. Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, on and on, all had similar things said about them.

It comes with the office, if you can't handle it, best not to run.

[libtodeath]

20. Probably never

because racism will always be around in some form or another.
