Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson called the depiction politically mean-spirited and dangerous.

When you're a media whore and you ask a slimy racist chickensh*t like Earl "Ofari" Hutchinson, you just know you won't be disappointed.

We remember Jesus Land

Is that kind of like Remember the Alamo!

I have read the last chapter of my copy of "The Book" and I know who wins.

Dissent is patriotic.

only when the president is a republican

[hinckley buzzard]

if Obama continues to be mocked in this way it will go a long way into tearing down his little fiefdom

Indeed. I recall last summer when McCain was making inroads against Obama by ridiculing his "celebrity" status, only to have the strategy aborted by his treasonous Campaign manager. A visual like this poster will reach the dumb O-bots because it does not rely on rational thought. An image is worth a thousand analyses in getting through to them.

So, where can I buy the stickers?

Be sure and bring a loaded gun to your next tea party. An unarmed tea party will be laughed at. An armed tea party might be taken more seriously.

I like that thought. When the First Amendment fails, there is always the Second to fall back on.

In the 60s, the "radicals" protested, marched and sang for freedom and against big brother.

In 2009, those former radicals are now in charge of all branches of government and have voted in the most controlling big brother the country has yet known. So much for freedom. I guess for those radicals it was better as line or two in a song, than reality.

Nasty media bastard...

Mark Silva

Chris Matthews attacked Goveror Sarah Palin for hiring a ghostwriter for her upcoming book deal. In like fashion, Mark Silva of the Chicago Tribune's The Swamp Blog has also gotten into Laugh-at-Palin's-book mode and you can bet that this will be the scoff du jour among the left-media. But, the thing that proves the Old Media's hypocrisy and partisanship is this "collaborator" angle. The media are going nuts that Palin is working with what is essentially a ghostwriter -- though an upfront one, not a hidden one -- and acting as if this is somehow unusual. But it simply is not.

Few politicians that have books published under their name ever themselves put pen to paper. Politicians are generally not writers and it is completely common that they hire actual writers to do the heavy lifting of composing their book. But here is both Matthews and Silva acting as if Palin is the only one ever to do it.

Mark Silva, Chicago Tribune, says reading Bush's body language he can tell he's "somewhat dispirited." Then he says "the facts have failed you" on things he's telling the American people. Quotes Harry Reid. "Are you feeling troubled... credibility gap?"

I'd rather be a "teabagger" than a dirt bagger Chuckie!

Thanks for posting, I tried it as a wallpaper but the stench bleeds through the makeup.

SCREW THIS!! LOCK ALL THEIR ASSES UP!!!

That's funny because they didn't even want TERRORISTS to be locked up! That only proves to me that they are INSANE!

[Yardstick]

Yeah, a small fringe group known as the silent majority.

Name one thing Obama isn’t hiding would be a better question.

******

- The Obama administration is refusing to release government records on its “cash-for-clunkers” rebate program that would substantiate—or undercut—White House claims of the program’s success, even as the president presses the Senate for a quick vote for $2 billion to boost car sales.

How much farther will nobama allow things to slip before he deploys his brown shirt ACORN thugs at tea parties and town hall meetings?

"These town hall meetings have been orchestrated by the tea baggers and the birthers to just be a free-for-alls, make a lot of noise, go on YouTube and show discord," Durbin said

Durbin knows darn well that "tea baggers" is an offensive term. What a jerk.

[Syncro]

"It is a small fringe group," Schumer told the Huffington Post, "and if we let a small group of people who want to monopolize the conversation and not listen to the facts win, you may as well hang it up."

Uhh, Chuckie. You just described the House and Senate democrats.

You are part of that small group that won't listen to the facts about the bills you pass without reading.

Not letting Republicans or citizens weigh in on your legislation because you have a majority to vote them in.

You are supposed to be working for us, not Marxism.

Just remind them of the Bush Joker cover on Vanity Fair and the picture of Bush with the Statue of Liberty with fangs and blood dripping...... lefties are not used to getting it back inkind.
