I've finally figured out where I've heard all the screaming about Obama before

[Rosco T.]

"Obamacare is gonna have DEATH PANELS!"
"Obama is taking our guns!"
"Obama will force you to marry a gay!"

come on people, let's be somewhat grown up, please?

[Pisces]

1. One has to start questioning the intent of the posters at some point. Disagreeing, is one thing, but

this is an all out campaign against the President. It is tiresome and disgusting to watch.

[Rosco T.]

2. BINGO

.. and last I looked, wasn't that behavior against the Community TOS?

[Zoeisright]

20. It's supposed to be.

But the jury system has changed all that.

[upaloopa]

19. I gave more than I ever did to Obama's 2008 campaign.

I have twice that amount to his 2012 campaign. I resently joined O f A and gave to that campaign.
He said he would not cut Social Security benefits.
He put Social Securiy cuts on his budget.
I expect him to keep his word. I mad that he hasn't.
You have nothing to say to me or anyone else about how we respond to the Predident.
This is America not some dictatorship.
We do not march in
Lock step. Another President said it is a sin to rain quite when you should protest. That was Abraham Lincoln.

[Cha]

23. Oh yeah. Getting their insults straight from foxnews and/or Drudge.. dead give away.

Using raging vicious bully talk when insulting an "80 year old" woman because she dared say she wasn't worried about the President's budget plan?

Many have always had trash talk about this President.. now they feel they can sharpen their pitchforks and use every dirty word they can think of to insult him.

Pres Obama respects people when talking to them.. his enemies lose their shit.

[DrDan]

3. except for a couple of local gunners (#2), I have not heard any of those comments from DUers

[upaloopa]

4. You should grow up and remember this

country is a representative government.
I expect my Presesent to listen to me.
I am not sock puppet as you are.

[Rosco T.]

5. Personal Insulting Much?

[femmocrat]

10. Sorry, sir, but you hurled the first insult by comparing us to wing-nuts

and tea-baggers. You might need your asbestos suit to continue in this thread.

[Rosco T.]

12. Old southern expression...

"Bit dawg yells first"

Just the facts, and I never said any person, you did.

[femmocrat]

16. Wrong again.

I did not mention a person. You, however, said, "come on people, let's be somewhat grown up, please?"

Were you addressing "people" who do not read and post on DU?

And BTW, what facts are you referring to? I did not see any in your OP.

[notadmblnd]

24. You should also remember that the President can put forth an agenda

but he has no power other than influence to make it happen. He can't vote on the bill and he can't sign the bill unless congress acts.

[upaloopa]

29. I studied American history and Political Science

in school in the 50's and 60's so yes I remember how our system works.

[Hissyspit]

6. Chained CPI (a real thing) = Death Panels (not a real thing)?

Unnecessarily offering up Soc. Sec. (a real thing) = Forced Gay Marriage (not a real thing)?

I don't think so.

[Triana]

15. +1 n/t

[Vinnie From Indy]

7. WTF?

I am always mildly amused at OP's that posture as some grand enlightenment or brilliant insight when, in fact, they are indecipherable and incoherent.

Seriously, what the hell are you saying here? Please be a bit more specific.

Cheers!

[Pisces]

11. The message was clear as day to me.

[Autumn]

8. Quit going to RW sites. Then you won't hear screaming like that.

I have had fox news blocked for years. I don't listen to that shit.

[femmocrat]

9. You are wrong.

Many DUers are upset about Obama's proposal on Chained CPI. So are some "true" democratic senators (Sanders, Warren, and Brown among them) and more progressive advocacy groups. (Yeah, yeah, I know Sanders is an Ind.)

Please educate yourself on this issue and you will see why it is a threat to the security and well-being of SS recipients (and other groups as well.)

It is highly insulting to be compared to the wing-nut morans who ranted about death panels, guns and gays. You really do not understand the issue.

[Rosco T.]

13. I understand it perfectly...

.. it's the DELIVERY I'm comparing, not the content...

and my point continues to be proven.

[femmocrat]

14. In that case, could you provide some examples...

of posts by DUers that sink to the level that you quoted?

I have read many posts on the subject and have not seen any that compare to yours. Please enlighten me if I am incorrect.

[Zoeisright]

21. TRY THESE THREADS:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022660878

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022660230

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022655717

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022653356

That took about a minute of scrolling through GD.

[Cracklin Charlie]

17. I'm with you, Roscoe.

It's a bit draining.

[world wide wally]

18. People will think what they think. The day we stop doing it, is the day we truly need to worry about

This is a forum to post our thoughts on national policy from a basically Democratic point of view. If hordes of people are upset with the President's policy on a Democratic issue like Social Security, they have not only a right to express it.. but a duty to the rest of the community to express it.

[OnyxCollie]

22. The difference between your examples

and these:

Obama is gonna protect war criminals!
Obama is gonna protect telecoms!
Obama is gonna protect banks!

is that yours are false.

[villager]

26. +1

Thanks for sorting out the deliberate apples/oranges conflation of the misleading OP.

[frylock]

25. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren said that?

really?!

[elleng]

27. YES, PLEASE!

Thanks, Rosco T.

[Vincardog]

28. Is it the "grown up' thing to do for a Democratic President to propose cutting one of the bedrock

Accomplishments of the Democratic party?

I for one am tired of the "grown ups" pretending that moving ever further right is going todo anything good.
It won't.
"Centrists" stand for nothing, they are useful idiots providing political cover for the RW.

[Whisp]

30. Obama cut 700 billion from Medicare!

that thing still runs. Heard it just the other day on useless MSNBC, and the host didn't correct the rw asshole that said that. Well, anyone who still says that is an asshole.

[myrna minx]

31. The President's budget is an actual proposal whereas "death panels"

was invented out of whole cloth by right wingers. People (like me) are concerned that this is setting a dangerous precedent for the further erosion of our New Deal safely net. Calls for "acting like grownups" while dismissing and mocking people's concerns isn't very grown up.
