It's interesting that TMZ (ran by a gay man in the middle of Hollywood) even understand the double standard that applied to Obama over what had been applied to Bush. FWIW.

Liberals can make jokes on gays, blacks and everyone, but not conservatives

Yes he would have been, but I honestly doubt Bush would have made this type of insensitive joke.

Where is Sara Palin on this?
I know it would be a crass political move. But Fight Crass with Crass.

Bush would not have made an intentional insensitive comment like Zero, yet, he would have been crucified instead of skewered. He is still taking a beating for the “Mission Accomplished” sign.

Obama’s comment about the Special Olympics shows, once again, how classless this guy is. He doesn’t deserve to be president and will not be re-elected. The public is starting to realize what an empty-headed buffoon he really is.
He’s going to spend his entire four years in office campaigning because he doesn’t have a clue as to what the tasks are to live in the White House.
Having the privilege of living in the taxpayer-paid best mansion in the land is not about living at this address, it’s about doing a job for the taxpayers. Campaigning is not part of that job.

Why would they be lashing out more? That’s too easy! The truth is they are hypocritical cowards who are too dishonest to admit it.

Here is a slogan designed to piss off liberals to the max.

Any compassion the left pretend to have about ANYONE is bullcrap. In public they have pretend outrage for even unintentional slight to a special interest group. Anyone remember "macaca" and Jack Ryan? While in private they have no problem making the most crude and insensitive jokes.
Remember THIS pic as posted publicly at a Rat HQ in 2004?

They would have spent four years making jokes if Bush had been the one that read the wrong speach off of the teleprompter and “thanked himself for inviting himself.”

Did you see Obama said he was "disappointed" that Obama would say such a thing.
"That's not the Obama I knew!" LOL!

Is there a video circulating of that yet? Seems to have been scrubbed last I heard.
To: Big_Monkey
The thing is that a joke like this is one thing amongst friends but certainly inappropriate in front of a national/international audience.

I’m sure Governor Palin will fight Crass with CLASS.

President Bush would never have had to apologize to Nancy Reagan for a seance slur, nor would he ever in a million years slur special needs children.
Some people’s hearts are filled with love for their fellow man and others have hearts of stone.
