Liberals just can't help themselves. They'll do anything to protect the White House. With the latest scandalpalooza in Washington D.C., Obama's most loyal supporters are struggling to defend the President's agenda. So what are they doing instead? Calling opponents of that agenda "Obamaphobic."
First it was New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who called Texas Senator Ted Cruz "Obamaphobic" for opposing Amnesty.
“Well, I think he has Obamaphobia,” Menendez said of Cruz on MSNBC. “The reality is that it is the Gang of Eight that came together — four Democrats, four Republicans — and said that we need a path to citizenship.”
Menendez’s comments were in response to Cruz saying on Monday that he thinks President Barack Obama is the “biggest obstacle” to real immigration reform rather than the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill.
Thursday night on his show, MSNBC Host Al Sharpton continued to use the term after Cruz jokingly embraced being "Obamaphobic" on Twitter.
Republicans and conservatives like Cruz aren't afraid of President Obama, they simply oppose his big brother, big government agenda.The use of terms like "Obamaphobic" are used to cut off debate about serious issues.AL SHARPTON: You got to hand it to the Republicans. They know how to stay on message. Scandal, scandal, scandal is all you hear from the right. But today President Obama called them out for standing in the way of progress.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA CLIP #1: Some Republicans may be rethinking the stances that they took in the past. That's the good news. We want to encourage that. But the fact of the matter is that a whole bunch of Republicans out there are not interested in getting things done.
PRESIDENT OBAMA CLIP #2: What's holding us back right now is inaction in Washington, gridlock in Washington, too many folks in Washington who are putting the next election ahead of the next generation.
SHARPTON: He's talking about Republican Senator Ted Cruz, the guy who once called President Obama the most radical President we've ever seen. He tweeted, "If supporting real immigration reform, not path to citizenship, is 'Obamaphobia,' guilty as charged. Re-tweet if you're a fellow 'Obamaphobic.'"
Bragging about being Obamaphobic. Now, I know he was responding to a Democratic Senator, but the fact is, this is who they are. They are scared because the party is built on fear and obstruction. And no matter how hard they try, it`s not working.
I am Obamahater.
The 0bama Zombies flailing.
Or maybe Obamacontemno.
I’ll admit to being Obamaphobic it the other side will acquiesce that those who oppose Obama are not racist unless they agree with his White half and only disagree with his Black half - his soul is probably blacker than any skin ...
I don’t fear 0bummer.
I loathe him.
It’s not about Obama. It’s about the Constitution that Obama and his predecessors have been wrongly ignoring.
It is really just another name for Communistphobia which needs to become an epidemic if we are to save the Country of our Founding Fathers.
I’m cornfused. Who do I hate the most? His black half or the white half or the Muslim half? Lord, choices, choices.
I’m scandalphobic and it doesn’t require an apology. It’s only cure is a special prosecutor assigned to the case, asap.
As do I, but then I loathe all liberals
actually, I’m an “Obamadisgustus”.
The left refuses to recognize the difference between fear and disgust.
The left hasn’t anything to defend themselves or Obama so they try to diffuse and distract Americans by pretending all the scandals are somehow a fabrication of Republicans. Because that is absurd and easily refuted by the facts, the left calls any opposition to anything Obama wants to do to them as ‘Obamaphobic’, which, in the lefts PC universe, is supposed to make it bad. Just as opposition to Islamic radicalism is termed by the left as being ‘Islamophobic’ and they call opposition to same-sex ‘marriage’ ‘homophobic’. Notice a pattern here?
Does anyone remember a few years ago Sean Hannity was having a debate re: another attempt at immigration “reform” with Geraldo Rivera? After Sean had made a salient point, Rivera was reduced to calling him an “immigrationist”!
Good ole Liberals. If there isn’t a word available to demonize their opponent for failing to toe the ideological mind-set, they’ll just invent one, whether it’s calling someone immigrationist or Obamaphobic...
What is the ANSWER to “scandal scandal scandal”?
“No big whoop”?
“BUT WE HAVE THINGS TO CHANGE!!!”?
Obama is a rotten crook, a bastard, and a lying Marxist tool.
Emotions are a physical consequence of mental value judgments.When one's values such as freedom are in danger of being destroyed, and when one's natural rights are in danger of being violated, fear is an appropriate emotional response.And when one's values are threatened, obstruction is a rational form of resistance.
Obama is merely the symptom of this nation’s disease.
I am not Obamaphobic—I’m Coruptophobic.
