Where do you even start with something like this?

[353FMG]

Bambi should know that respect is a two-way street.

[ClearCase_guy]

Racists see everything in terms of race. I have no time for racists.

Obama is a bad president: I think he's the worst we've ever had. I have nothing but contempt for him, and I have nothing but contempt for those who still support him. Color doesn't enter into it.

[fuzzybutt]

I do not respect anyone who is a liar, for people who lie have no self respect.

So tell me again why I should respect the lying criminal hood rat in the WH?

[JaguarXKE]

This is what some right wing political activist don’t understand because they have never had to share power.

Let Allen West run for President and get back to us on that racist BS.

[Big_Harry]

"Where do you even start with something like this?"

How about we start with the fact that we have an avowed Socialist in the office of POTUS that has no agenda other than to destroy the fabric of our society.

TRANSLATION: Everyone should RESPECT and NOT DO BATTLE against the America-hating, Marxist, would-be dictator in the Oval office because....he’s BLACK!!! And blacks have the perpetual prerogative to inflict damage on the United States, trample the rights of actual Americans and ignore violations of the law which occur against whites because...they’re black!!

[dalereed]

OBAMA HAS EARNED NOTHING BUT DIERESPECT!

[kabar]

Finally, African Americans may not respect the man that sits in the oval office, but have always respected the office of the President of the United States.

LOL. Whoopi Goldberg, Kanye West, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, etc. are just a few of the idiots who come to mind when it comes to using vile language against the sitting President of the United States. This is like saying I support the troops but not the mission.

[laweeks]

Oh Please! The fact that there is such a thing as a Black Athlete Sports Network shows how racist and un-American it is. When the hell are we going to celebrate our similarities instead of our differences?

Shame on this stupid organization. I'll respect our president when we get one, not some illegal anti-American, racist, muslim, anti-Christian, anti-Semetic buffoon. We haven't had a president since Bush.

[who knows what evil?]

I have a problem with Zero's color.

Red.

I have no problem with Allen West's color.

Red, white, and blue.

[pgkdan]

Respect Our President, Please!!!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

NO!!!!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

So let me see if this is what the author is saying - it is ok to portray a white President as a monkey but not a black president. Why? It appears to me both sides were claiming the man wasn't smart. But the black author wants it to be a racist idea because anyone who doesn't support the policies of this president HAS to be a racist in their eyes.

Get over it folks - you've over played the race card. And trust me, when YOU don't vote for a black man who is a Republican, we are going to throw that race card back in your faces, hard.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

All they have left is the race card.

All their other lies have turned to ashes.

Such pitiful souls.

[PalmettoMason]

This reads like it was written by fourth grader.

[Private_Sector_Does_It_Better]

I respect the Office, but not the man.

[skeeter]

Unfortunately for the writer and the president, Americans seem to be assessing the Content of Obama's Character. And have concluded he has none.

No sale.

[Palio di Siena]

Someone needs to tell this dude about the “no whining” rule.

[AFreeBird]

Gee, Gary, you blithering twit. It’s not the fact that there’s a black man in the WH; no, just the fact that he’s an incompetent, racist, American hating stooge.

If you want, Gary, i’ll give you the names of two black men I would vote for the office in a heartbeat. And I’d trust their love of country and econmic acumen, intelligence and common sense, without hesitation.

Dr. Thomas Sowell & Dr. Walter E. Williams.

Go back to sucking your thumb, Gary.

[FrankR]

I'll start here...you can't buy respect, your can't demand respect, and you can't even beg for respect it has to be earned.

I'm tired of all the references to people like MLK and Rosa Parks for a person like obama who had no dog in the hunt...his mother was white, his father (we think) was from Africa. Even Jesse Jackson said he has no slavery background.

Slaves were slaves for over a hundred years before they got around to demanding and fighting for their freedom, that's not impressive.

But, taking away the colored glasses and looking at character, scruples, and actions of obama leave no room for "earned" respect...none, nada. Being one color or the other is not a pleateau for respect to rest upon, it's merely an accident of birth.

His actions, deeds, and ideology are more closely aligned with those of past white and brown communist dictators more than they do anything associated the black race. It's it policies and ideology that we impune, not his race.

The same people who are being called "racist" because they don't like his actions greatly admire Col. West, Herman Cain, and many other black leaders and orators - even the common sense of a lab rat could see that if "race" was the factor, then the people who admine the colonel and Mr. Cain would logically hate them because of color.

While the libs are waiting for their turn to ride the unicorns, America is drowning in debt from an adolescent p-resident who can't say "no" to his sweet tooth or his supporters, and is handing out OUR money like a drunken sailor - not to impune the sailors as obama has never even served in the military and does not RESPECT the military.

Respect obama? No until he does something to be "respected" for...so far, he's only damaged America and shamed us in front of the entire world, and I will never respect him at the bequest of some black journalist or black TV star with judgement based on color, publicity and personal gain.

[RichInOC]

Respect is earned.
