The writer shouldn’t confuse disrespect with disgust.

Appearance of inpropriety. I guess these folks never were a part of the armed forces.

Respect is urned. No pun intended.

harkening back to yesteryear, I would think voting present would have been reason enough to never earn what he so desperately seeks.

There’s an old phrase....”Respect is something you earn”.

The first Arugula TOTUS deserves some disrespect. Just as he is disrespectful of the Constitution and the American Public.

Sam Donaldson is, of course, a senile old fool ~ but still most Americans think Obama should not be in the office because he’s stupid.

Want another one to blow your mind?

"All this for a damn flag?"

Obama and his wife were attending The 9/11 Memorial Ceremony and watched as the Color Guard folded the flag into a triangular shape, according to custom.

A video camera caught the two from the sidelines. Obama's wife leaned over and said to him, "All this for a damn flag?" Obama turned to her, smiled smugly and nodded his head in agreement.

How do we know what was said? The video was presented for translation to a lip reading instructor at The River School

school

a Washington D.C. school for the deaf. The video is shown at normal speed, 3/4 speed, and 1/2 speed with no banners obstructing her lips. Click here to view for yourself:

One term. For all those who served in the military, and the ones who died or were wounded for a "damn flag" as Michelle calls it, just so she could be free to get all the benefits she got, her ivy league education and her husband elected as President of the best country on earth... Shame on her and Obama... for "a damn flag."

The “post-racial President” we were promised is just as likely to play the race card as Sharpton or Jackson.

George W. endured ruthless attacks all over the media. Obama’s SNL sketch gets cut. Everyone is afraid of any reasonable criticism or satire for fear of being called racist. Whites also see blacks support Obama regardless of what he does solely because he is (half) black.

Obama set race relations back 30 years in this country.

Why the disrespect for President Obama?
I would guess it is a learned attitude after 8 years of total daily disrespect for President George Bush.
The left and the media have taught us well.........

On the other hand respect is earned and everything President Obama does costs him respect and does not earn it...

Why the disrespect for Obama? Because of his disrespect for all of us.

In Munro's case, MSNBC contributor Julian Epstein asked: "Would the right wing be doing this if we had a white president there? ... We've never had a president heckled so disrespectfully.

Julian must have been asleep the eight years G W Bush was president.

Did you miss the question mark at the end of the title? Better yet did you even read the article, especially this part?

"George W. Bush is our Bull Connor," said Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., comparing Bush to the Southern lawman who turned dogs and water hoses on civil rights marchers during the '60s.

"Bush is an incompetent leader," said then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "In fact, he's not a leader. He's a person who has no judgment, no experience and no knowledge of the subjects that he has to decide upon."

Sen. (then-candidate) Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.: After Hurricane Katrina, President Bush "let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black."

"I sometimes feel that Alfred E. Neuman is in charge in Washington," said then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, referring to the dimwitted icon of Mad magazine. She even used Neuman's catchphrase, "What, me worry?" to describe how Bush handled tough issues.

Democratic Sen. (and then-Minority Leader) Harry Reid of Nevada called Bush a "loser" and a "liar." Reid apologized for the "loser" comment, but "liar" stood.

Larry Elder is a black Libertarian. He is not a race hustler and, I suspect, does not agree with the claim of disrespect.

Any lefty who claims that criticism of 0bama is based in racism has to also assert that

1) we would support his destructive, Marxist policies if he were white and
2) we would oppose a Constitutional conservative black president because he was black.

Absurd. But they don’t have to be logical, they just have to put the accusation out there, in the expectation that we’ll just shut up.
