I was under the impression that much of the Obama B.S. would die down.
I understand that there will still be some "haters" out there trying to drag Barack's name through the mud! But, I was expecting a little more support than what I am hearing.

I was listening to comedian Rush Limbaugh, when he was playing an clip of the Charlie Rose show while he was interviewing Tom Brokaw. They both were going on-and-on about how they don't know anything about Barack, how thin his resume is, and about his work as a Community Organizer.

How come they cannot just accept Barack Obama will be our 44th President, like they shoved George Bush down our throats when he won.... I mean stole those elections!

2. They haven't yet moved through all four
stages of grief. They're still in denial.

6. Exactly
It'll be ok to have dissenting opinions once Obama's in office, but I think it'll really be important to "have his back" against these frothing idiots.

5. Some dumbass called the Ed Schultz show
claiming to be a moderate who was still really "concerned" because the liberal media didn't examine Obama's background enough. They didn't delve into his relationships with Ayers, Wright and others, etc. etc.
What's with these people?? What do they thing Obama is going to do? Give Rev. Wright his own office in the White House? Force the populationn to listen to Wright's sermons every Sunday? I don't get these people?

7. My sister thinks we will all be praying to Allah. She's scared to death.
I know of others that think he's a terrorist. Palin did this and McCain didn't stop her.

24. I'm asking this question in all sincerity b/c soon enough
Obama is going to be sworn into office with his hand on a Bible.

Of course, people like your sister who willfully are brainwashed by Rush and Hannity, will of course believe that it is a just a Koran with a Bible cover on it....you know this is what those unstable nuts are going say all over the radio.

Now for my sincere question because I just do not understand a mentality that despite all rational facts, someone could believe this....so, does your sister have a past with mental illness? Has she shown in other areas of her life to be delusional, paranoid, bi-polar????

I ask because I think this is the only way that someone could have these thoughts, that, AND, the evil losers like Hannity, Rush, Coulter who feed off the feeble minded like your sister in order to make millions and millions of dollars........so sad, so pathetic, your poor, poor sister is.......

13. Yep, unfortunately it's just starting. Many Republicans are not interested in bi-partisanship,
especially hate, I mean talk, radio.

21. I agree
I'm really hoping their ratings drop. But barring that IMHO we need to get on the station managers & especially advertisers. The hate has now become racist and is endangering a president!

18. There's no cure for stupid or hatefulness
I listened to Rush for 5 minutes yesterday and he made me sick. So I'll continue to ignore his existence. I wouldn't mind listening to a conservative talker if there was one that wasn't foaming at the mouth.

I know people who are convinced that the muslims/blacks/terrorists (take your pick or maybe the whole bunch) will soon rule the country forcing the remaining whites into servitude (after stripping them of their assets) to pay for their sins.

23. Are you kidding?
Those people will never tone it down. Not only do they get a rush spreading lies about Democrats, they get paid well to do it.
