1. The proceeds should go to charity, not the President's re-election bid.

[CakeGrrl]

2. Maybe they see some benefit in helping this President get-re-elected over the GOP.

It's not exactly a frivolous pursuit.

I love that they're doing this, and it will help millions of poor and middle class when he wins re-election.

16. +1. Don't you love it? Some internet jerk telling other people how to spend their own money.

It's just too rich. :rofl:

9. No, it is wildly tone-deaf. Just bad on so many levels it's insane.

Where do you even start?

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. Awww! There. There.

:-(

[Ikonoklast]

Take your time, gather your thoughts.

Besides the "I Hate All Things Obama" ones, of course. We are already aware of those.

10. good on them but it only scratches the surface of the damage done by brcasting sports on RW radio

it's perilous for pros to get political but i wish they'd try to get their games off RW radio

those pro and uni sports associations keep right wing radio afloat, make the global warming denial, racism, sexism acceptable.

15. you need to get a new issue, certainot

you post the exact same sentences every time you post.

[certainot]

18. someone has to get OWS and progressives backs re the right's best weapon

there still is no organized opposition to it and it keep kicking internet ass.

someone's got to say it, and repetition counts. BTW, i seldom cut and paste.

[MjolnirTime]

13. They could play a whole series of Obama games if the lockout continues.
