Disgruntled conservatives are making plans to oppose his every move over the next four years, and - patricularly in some parts of the South - emotions are running high, sometimes spilling over into outright hostility.
Any hope that partisan rancour might ease after Mr Obama's historic election victory have been rapidly dispelled - not least in Georgia, where a bitter new Senate election battle is under way. Elsewhere, wrangles over continuing knife-edge Senate recounts in Minnesota and Alaska have ensured that the divisions in the run-up to the election persist.
Under Georgia law, a senator must win at least 50 per cent of the vote, but a third party candidate prevented Saxby Chambliss, the Republican incumbent, from doing so on election day and forced a run-off vote.
Republicans have begun running advertisements urging voters to back Senator Chambliss in the run-off vote against his Democrat opponent Jim Martin on Dec 2, warning that a Democratic victory could hand Mr Obama a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, giving his party almost unfettered power.
With emotions running high, Republican Congressman Paul Brown denounced Mr Obama as a Marxist, and compared his plans for a national service corps - to help out in natural disasters - to the formation of the Nazi brownshirts.
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany," he said. "We can't be lulled into complacency... Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler, what I'm saying is there is the potential of going down that road."
Conservative displeasure at the president-elect is not confined to Georgia. A Roman Catholic priest in South Carolina told his parishioners not to seek Holy Communion if they voted for Mr Obama,...

This is absurd. From the moment George W. Bush took office the left have been calling him Nazi, fascist, murderer— protesting in the streets, burning flags-—
But a couple of people point out the utter wierdness of Barack Obama’s civilian security force, power equal to that of the US Military— and suddenly we’re the extremists???
TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE NO CONSERVATIVE TALKING HEAD WILL MAKE THIS PLAINLY OBVIOUS POINT! Hellooooo moron Alex Castellanos, hello idiot Ed Rollins, hellooooo Monica Crowley— anybody home????
They haven’t seen ANYTHING yet...
Stocks in Southern Poverty Law Center soar!
With the election of a black president SPLC will without doubt far exceed all record contributions by an incalculable amount. "Scare the public about white supremacists," said a SPLC spokesman. "In the past we had to do a lot of that ourselves. Now the Obama Administration and the MSM will do it all. This is going to be golden with a capital G for us."
Jesse Jackson says, "We won't even have to threaten . . . ."
Word for word what I was going to say before I even opened the thread.
“Any hope that partisan rancour might ease after Mr Obama’s historic election victory...”

Except among the propagandizing cheerleaders in the LeftMedia, why would there be any “hope” about an easing of partisan rancour, after the absymal treatment President Bush received, by not only Democrats across the board, but also by ...ummmmm, let’s see.....those prime fomentors of “partisan rancor”: Themselves.

The media is suddenly talking about thoese hateful conservatives. This is just propoganda by the media to drum up support for the Fairness Doctrine.
“Word for word what I was going to say before I even opened the thread.”
Great minds...
The Conservatives owe Obama nothing and I hope that’s exactly what he gets.The Cowards in the Republican party have to clean house and start taking names and fight as dirty as the Democraps.
These kinds of articles, and the one-sided power of the MSM, are two reasons why it’s premature to announce the death of the MSM. They haven’t died, and the total ascension to power of the left, has just given them a new lease on life. The right has nothing as far-reaching to counter it, and Fox News is a joke now.
Gee, John, I thought you Lefties said that dissent was patriotic. As a matter of fact, here is the t-shirt Barack Ubama wore under his suit.
Went by the High Caliber Gun Show at the George R Brown Convention Center in Houston today ...
Attendance was at least double of what it normally is. Staff at the gun dealers booths couldn't even break for lunch they were selling so many weapons and the ammo dealers ran out of several common calibers before 1:00 PM - on the first day of the show.
I hear from the lefties how we should all “give him a chance”. I oppose his every belief, his every stated policy and view, but I should “give him a chance”?

Sadly, conservatives enable the MSM by continuing subscriptions, watching their programming (if only to yell at the screen) and propping it up. Most of us do it, maybe even you. Hit them with the wallet - cancel any and all subscriptions, turn off the tube and they will get the point. They simply can NOT stay in business without our support...
They have always called George W Bush “chimpy” over in DUmmy land. I wonder how they would feel if we called 0 that?

We should be fair. We shoud offer this empty suit the same support Dims offered W...no more, no less...
