Have Republicans Morphed From Obama Hate To Hating America?

[Tx4obama]

You hear it every day. Republicans bash Obama. Republicans bash anything they perceive as pro-Obama, and they bash America, so the question is why do Republicans hate their own country?

The discussion over whether or not the right hates America or is just engaging in un-American behavior was at the center of our most recent edition of Politicus Radio.

(SNIP audio here)

The hysteria from the right over Clint Eastwood’s Super Bowl ad has renewed focus on the right’s recent behavior towards their country. On the radio show, both Sarah and George expressed their belief that Republicans don’t hate America. When the question was posed as to whether or not the Obama haters were engaged in un-American activity, George said yes, and Sarah said no.

While there is nothing un-American about criticizing the President of the United States or any other elected officials, there is something decidedly unpatriotic about what the right has been doing since Barack Obama won the 2008 election. At various times since Obama became president, Rush Limbaugh has claimed that he wants Obama to fail. Limbaugh has also claimed that the tea party wants Obama to fail, in 2009 he told Sean Hannity that he still wanted the president to fail, and who can forget an absolutely giddy Glenn Beck celebrating when the United States didn’t win the Olympics?

2. I don't think that they have gotten over the loss of the civil war, and still

fighting it in modern day terms. I don't understand any of the feelings of either the Republicans or the TBaggers.

3. They have always hated America - well 99% of it anyhow.

[Firebrand Gary]

4. Yes.

Witnessing the republican applause of the US loosing out on the opportunity to hold the 2016 games was it for me. Who roots for the countries failure?

5. They consider it patriotic to hate America

because they actually believe President Obama has turned it into a faccist, socialist, secular, muslim country.
They're nuts!

6. Are you serious or did you just forget to include a 'sarcasm' tag? :)

7. Sorry, pretty new at this

9. No problem. Here's a tip ...

When you are composing a reply there is a button above the text box that says: smilies
Click on that and you'll see lots of emoticons. Then if you click on any of those it will put the emoticon code into the text box. There is also an additional place there at the end of the first batch of emoticons that looks like a button with three dots ( ... ) that will make more emoticons show up. Hope that helps

11. There is no reason to be sarcastic here. He is accurate. They are delusional.

Have you talked with these types? They will say anything that has a ring of truthiness to frame their fantasies within. A good portion of this country 22-25% is outright nuts.
