GOP/Right-Wing Apoplectic About Obama Laying A Wreath At Ground Zero

[rhombus]

Say what?

"GOP has been exploiting 9/11 for political gain for 10 years. Obama puts down a wreath & he's "doing a victory lap."

They have no shame. :patriot::fistbump:

1. How DARE an Anti-American secret Muslim try to take credit for killing bin Laden

just because he got bin Laden killed!?! That's what they're thinking except for the last part.

[Kber]

2. It's like they think they trade marked 9-11

and Obama is making unauthorized use of their marketing.

I HATE how the GOP has politicized 9-11, all the while dismissing and belittling the actual people involved (i.e. by attempting to deny benefits to first responders or by continuing to demonize New Yorkers as "less American" than others).

[JaneQPublic]

8. They think the American Flag is all theirs, too. (nt)

[damntexdem]

3. His real sin isn't taking credit --

his real sin is SUCCEEDING. That's what they really can't abide.

[opihimoimoi]

4. NOT ONLY SUCCEEDING BUT W CLASS AND WISDOM...srry for shouting

[Kber]

12. +1

Most excellent point.

[Solomon]

15. "I hope he fails"

Right from the get go.

5. THey are motherfuckers to the core.

6. What I find hysterically funny is that if he DIDN'T participate in a

ceremony such as this, they would be screeching at about 90 decibels about what a horrible person he was.

[powergirl]

7. Exactly

If he didn't do it, they would be screaching "He shoulda put a wreath down!" It doesn't matter what Obama does, the wingnuts will never be satisified.

:silly:

9. Don't forget, these are the same idiots who were apoplectic that this

president had the gall to publicly address the nation's schoolchildren (as other recent presidents, who happened to be white have done), to exhort them to stay in school and study hard. I remember seeing one video of a RW mother literally breaking down in sobs over the idea that this dangerous man was going to be speaking to children. OMG!!! Won't somebody think of the children!

[ljm2002]

10. "GOP/Right-Wing Apoplectic About Obama". End of sentence.

They would have been apoplectic whether he had, or had not, laid a wreath at Ground Zero.

13. I recall when Palin was giving some talk and CNN had feedback groups

who would be listening and they would be interviewing. (Obama was already president and I don't recall why or where palin was talking or why they covered it that way. I did not watch that)
Anyway as they were introducing the feedback groups they had half republicans and half Independents. They said they didn't bother having Democrats represented because everyone knew what their opinion would be on anything Palin did. ???

Oh My. I imagined if all the panels who talked about Obama were decided in that way. "We have Democrats and Independents to discuss Obama. Why bother with republicans, we know their opinion of anything he does"

Because we generally do. There are a few exception on a few things like this.
But generally all they ever have to say after showing an Obama event/statement or policy is "republicans are all against this of course"

I am reading in various places how ugly that Obama is doing this with an election coming.
He should wait a year and a half to do this? It couldn't be a much moire low key event... but he made these victims families and friends the star of his speech (besides the team that got osama) in his announcement... the empty seats they lived with every day and so on. This seems good and natural that he'd reach out to them...

I am sick of their nasty slime. Really. They need a mute button that can control them. Yes we have one for our tv but I want one that can shut them up when they are lying in congress or wherever. The thought amuses me. I wish angels did things like that, I'd be a believer

18. They're always apoplectic about one thing or another

It's their raison d'etre. I pop a plect, therefore I am.

[JoePhilly]

11. Are they angry that he couldn't get an aircraft carrier to fit in that location?

[Renew Deal]

14. Don't forget the convention in 2004

That was pure exploitation.

[forty6]

16. Bottom line: they are apoplectic that he's black and President

that's what they cannot even admit THAT to themselves.

[Vicar In A Tutu]

17. Screw them.

Absolute pricks. Mindless drones.

[vaberella]

19. I really don't know if this is ideology or just hatred for the man . n/t

[Phx_Dem]

20. Good. Anything that pisses them off, makes me happy.

[marlakay]

21. I hope he doesn't cave and just ignores them

if it was Bush we would have a national holiday!

[CakeGrrl]

22. Cave to what?

He visited, the RW got mad, it's over. He's not going to dwell on their "response".

[Ikonoklast]

24. And that *really* pisses them off.

Mr. Obama on his pipsqueak critics:

[NYC Liberal]

23. The best part is that when it was first announced that he'd asked Bush to attend...

the right-wingers went nuts saying Obama "needed" Bush there as a shield, because he was going to get booed and people were going to protest him.

[Honeycombe8]

25. They are so jealous, they can't stand it....

:mad:

[Lucky Luciano]

26. Will somebody please change their diapers??? Please?! nt

[Jack Rabbit]

29. After that, give them each a glass of mil and send them to bed

They have nothing to say we're tired of listening to them.

[and-justice-for-all]

27. They are to stupid to insult..nt

[fishwax]

28. that's pathetic

but not out of the ordinary :puke:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

30. he should have rescheduled his party's convention for the 9/11 anniversary, like the GOP did in 2004

yeah, these guys have always been above the partisan fray when it comes to the war on terror.

they would never try to use something like this for political purposes:
