Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with >> WFTD.
Ironically, Obamacare may serve as the iconoclastic comeuppance of the Obamabots.

Some may refer to Obama as an iconoclast - I refer to him as a marauding, treasonous barbarian!

My co-workers, all long-time employees, saw me as an unwelcome iconoclast when I first started working here, but over the course of the last year, they’ve realized that I’m not their enemy and have brought about a lot of good where incompetence used to reign.

Up until now, only
iconoclasts have worried about freaky things like this.

Liberals have called me “iconoclast”
When I mentioned Obama has got no class
No brains and no vision
They’d laugh with derision
Until his Obamacare came to pass

The fact that Obama is an iconoclast of traditional American values is purposefully deflected by association with people such as laconic sot Harry Reid, or compared against the loco antics of Joe Biden ... Or, when it suits the situation, he decides to pay lip-service to established institutions as today.

Of course there is a fine line from being an iconoclast and being a
moonbat
