  • every GOP is a slime bag. Instead of spending say 50 billion monitoring wall street and other money schemes, they spent 5 trillion on unfunded wars and tax cuts and now we are in a 14 trillion dollar deficit. Clinton handed these buffoons a balanced budget. And now they want to blame obama? GOP are the most unpatriotic of all political partiies in the history of this country.

  • @dalecampbl9 legalizing weed would fix some of these problems because the goverment can sell it by the shitloads fixing the debt

  • @dalecampbl9 It would be fun to drop these assclowns into a live firefight and watch americans soldiers have to think hard 'who's the enemy here?' (ha.. ha..)

  • @26yearstoorion most American soldiers are Republicans...craziness...they are being sent to die for nothing and THEY LOVE the Republicans because Republicans are masters of tough Rhetoric, but are behind the door pussies.

  • @dalecampbl9 Simple minds are easiest to control/mold and follow orders blindly = Republican (loads of info to back this up)

  • @26yearstoorion Republicans, 50% of USA is moronic.

  • @dalecampbl9 actually only 35% or so are registered Republican, and the Democrats numbers are 55% (ish) *so we still have a thinking majority! :-) But... just one stupid racist running their mouth seems like a thousand :-0 *there is loads of hatefull propaganda online against Obama spewing bullshit about their numbers...

  • What a fucking dickhead, I can't stand Republicans, utterly worthless people.

  • @Thejbirdy what a fucking dickhead obama is, i cant stand republicans, utterly worthless people

  • @Thejbirdy You said it mun, I can't believe how much Tiger Wuss has been sucking up to them as well, what a total disappointment he became.

  • Not even funny.

  • waaaaaaaaaaaa!

    A: It was a funny joke

    B: The third graders were probobly being third graders and just saying something because it would get attention. Saying that BS about "I don't know what's going on in those homes" is absolutely ridiculous!

    C: Only Republicans fail to apoligize? HA! As a registered Libertarian, I'm no fan of the Republican party (outside of my champion, Ron Paul), but that doesn't mean this anchorman can claim "since he's a Republican, do you think he apoligized?"

  • The bozo's still ticking and now thinks another run from his most supportive ill informed region, Idaho county, where the red necks live so watch out Progressives and gear up to defeat this fool and his ill informed fools.. gotta luv it ...

  • wow, TYT once again shows the world how little integrity they have. First, calling everyone in Idaho who's a Republican "lunatics" is literally calling 10's of thousands of people lunatic. A bit of a sweeping statement. 2nd The bus chanting happened almost three years ago, hardly what you could call "within context". Third, people don't show up with riffles at GOP rallies. Fourth, hardly ANYONE was offended by the comment because almost everyone understood what he meant.

  • @lorenzschuerch hahaha you're the reason there's racism - Always Justifying white evil. Bet you thinks Blacks should just get over slavery and Jim Crow too huh?

  • @gorillafix he never said anything racist you just supported the cause that Obama only won because he was black (yes that was racist but i'll explain) because people automatically say your racist if you disagree with him and African Americans should get over slavery (most have already) because we didn't do it and it wasn't done to them it was our ancestors enslaving their ancestors if you haven't noticed most people don't slavery was a good thing and i am ignorant of jim crow

  • @tayoyoyo First of all I'm Black and i disagree with the president all the time. He's intensified our illegal wars, he's capitulated to the Neo-Conservative dicks with spending cuts and Austerity measures causing cops, teachers and firemen to get laid off

  • @gorillafix - Racists tend to disagree with obviously good ideas soley because they're coming from a black man,....Why not invest in infrastructure?, Why not introduce a huge stimulus package to jump start tour economy? Why not invest in shovel ready projects? The only reasoning I see from Repubs is "he's black so I say no!" that type of bullshit is killing this country. These white assholes are willing to let us all crash and burn before they act human -----its sad

  • @gorillafix Seek out the reasons for his actions instead of commenting out of ignorance like the Republicans do...

  • @26yearstoorion The reasons for his actions? WTF? The reasons for his actions Neo-Cons bastards - is RACISM PERIOD. A white man should NEVER come out his mouth talking about hunting a black man or stringing up a black man, etc.considering the terrible terrible history of your white supremacy and subjugation of the African. FUCK YOU ALL . Trying to justify shitty comments like these and passing them off as something other than straight racism makes you complicit and part of the fucking problem.

  • @gorillafix NEVER would i justify comments like these scum bags spew! (it's was better than joining the 'hate club' and suggesting hanging the bastard) AND i have relitives of color so.... *in your face :-p

  • @26yearstoorion Any politician saying anything about hunting or hanging of black or brown skinned human beings should be denounced as much as if he came out his mouth saying "A little rape is needed to keep women in check". Exactly - both statements should be considered equally offensive and sick.

  • @26yearstoorion I have -I operate on on reason.

  • @tayoyoyo wow i made it sound like i thought slavery was a good thing i meant most people don't think slavery was a good thing

  • I used to be a republican but I sort of realized they are likely lying to us far worse than the democrats are. It takes one to know one.

  • The overwhelming majority of Idahoans, conservative or not, are embarrassed by and condone Rex Rammell's ideology. Rex Rammell is not from the same legislative district as Rexburg. Rammell is on the fringe of the fringe. These are two completely isolated incidents that have nothing to do with one another. While Obama is certainly unpopular in Idaho, I am unaware of any person legitimately calling for his assassination.

  • I think that its a stupid joke to make. but just a joke.

    Mind you, you want politicians that actually are aware of the situation to a point where they don't say stupid shit like that

  • "Given all the people who are showing up with assault rifles and weapons at Obama events." Excuse me? could you please verify "all those people" and give specifics as to just who was arrested? If anyone was charged? None? I thought so... Left wing looonie strikes again...lol...

  • @gahnzo555 type "guns at Obama rally" into Google and you'll find a nice batch of info mate.

  • Why didn't this guy object to the liberal "jokes" about killing Bush or the play, "Assassinating the President?" He's a putz.

  • Obama's an idiot who is spending our country in oblivion. A majority of the country recognizes his radicalism now and has buyer's remorse. I don't condone killing the guy, but you can see why people are frustrated with the damage that he has done to our country in only 18 months. He's a jerk.

  • They show up with weapons at "Obama events" to remember him to respect the US Constitution

  • look for the first assassination of our presidents. rothchilds killed to keep their central banking system. all assassinations were over the banking system. so the first central banking system would be when they started ,but the control over people's actions and land grabs started with teddy roosevelt ,then increased with wilson,again with the other roosevelt/commie and has slowly crept to the almost complete takeover we are at now

  • @MrHr1207 are you saying that attempts at reform

    are actually government takeovers?

    i can't understand you learn to write in complete sentences

    before you state your opinion.

  • @footaballa21 who the fuck are you to tell me how to write? why reform unless it is to control? got it?

  • @MrHr1207 ummm no. you reform to fix problems.

    this country has had a lot of internal problems throughout history

    so we've needed to reform. if you took a second to look at history you'll actually see that continuous reform has helped the people NOT a government takeover.

  • @footaballa21 UMMM maybe thats why we are at the point of history were all your ummm reform is about to help ummm this government with umm a complete takeover ummm go back and read true history not some progressive propaganda bs!

  • @MrHr1207 lol ok believe what you wish

  • @MrHr1207 Wow, you're an idiot

  • @Janetvdl are you looking at the mirror?

  • Well its over REXY, 23%of the vote is not good enough, no matter what yur home schooler books told you. After your $750,00. bankruptcy last year and declaring you will not seek another run to political office if rejected by the Idaho Voters. Well I think this means your off the Island Nation if Idaho, put out your dimly lit torch and hit the road..Reality TV show perhaps and don't forget those books you meshed and pauperized from the web with a bit of tossed about rehash of sour grapes.

  • ahh boo boo fucking kitty, I hope he wins

  • Rex is all that you see, racist, frightened white guy, they may be because you can't go around the country side implying that the feds and the president are out to get yah without someone looking at your paranoia..and threats against the President of these United States dude wake up no one is listening other than the loony that share your fear of "socialism"

  • @lordrangerful well thats a whole hell of alot ! if you can't see a government takeover happening your an idiot !

  • @MrHr1207 when did this "government takeover" start?

  • Can't believe I wasted time watching this adolescent putz play with himself on camera. Hell, even Rachel Madcow makes a bit more sense than this wanker and she is certifiably insane. Best 86 this fool before he thinks he is of some import. What does Cenk mean spelled backwards? Exactly- nothing.

  • this has nothing to do with race,but our president is ruining our country!!!he is a SOCIALIST.pretty soon we'll have to have cards stating our friggin occupations.i can't wait till that asshole is out of office.

  • small militia groups in Idaho...sad but true...but most people in Idaho aren't viewing those sentiments...

    Mike in Boise, Idaho

  • That's why it took a Black President to pass the health care bill....President Barack Obama...

  • No.... We're going to hunt this racsit cracka...fuck Rex..that's why your racist ass live in the woods...I think you people are fucking each other....inbreeds.. al-qaeda needs to blow up Idaho...

  • pussies

  • Rex is a selfish son of a bitch and an absolute criminal.

  • what a fucking moron

  • you are all fucking raciest asses you need to be pissed at BUSH STOP MISDRECTING YOUR ANGER AT OUR PRESIDENT .wether you like it or no,This he is yall's PRESIDENT TOO

  • @devonnesexy uum.. im not racist.. and i don't like mush either.. but he's not "yall's" president.. becuase he has never shown proof of proof, which is unconstitutional, which makes him uneligible.. read your constitution and learn something

  • to clemssss i say id like to see both of them dead GW for fucking our country up and Obama for fucking our country up and preventing him from doing it even more

  • Yes & HELL NO!!!

  • ha ha ha id like to hunt obama down my self before he screws up our country

  • but you let Bush go right?

  • Yeah lets do that but you first then GW BUSH who screwed this country hard.

  • I find your comment offensive and Un-American. America has a long tradition grabbing the dogs and a few friends and taking off through the woods hunting darkies. And we have a proud record of doing it better than any country in the world. I suggest you study American history before you attack someone for trying to preserve out American heritage.

  • That's not funny you inbred simpleton.

  • Midnightroamer may have gotten some thumbs-down for that statement, but to those other Americans that did (I am an American too btw) don't bullshit yourselves. Nationally we just celebrated the wholesale slaughter of an entire indiginous peoples. We have a loooooong history of killing, maiming, and committing atrocity after atrocity on people darker than many of us.

  • Legalize cannibus, or hemp, weed, whatever you wanna call it. Legalize drugs, de-criminalize this shit. Stop wasting billions on something that is not helping AT ALL. If people can go buy legal pot, use hemp as fuel, use it as clothing, in food, as building materials, you have billions upon billions stimulating the economy. Raise taxes on alcohol, which is a very dangerous substance, far more then weed, same with cigs. Make it go to health care, have everyone given the option for social medicine

  • HELL YEAH! I'm with you on that and I don't even smoke weed but I do use Hemp seeds and I think we can help make a dent in our economy if we did legalized and regulated Cannibis in this country.

  • Glad to see that, I try to get the point across that many people who think there should be legalization of cannibus. Also, it'd be nice for people to stop calling it marijuana, it isn't. Marijuana is a racial slang term for it that is goverment-sanctioned, and it is sick.

  • Can any of you anti-Universal Health Care reform people justify the fact that Insurance Companies are specifically designed to NOT help cover people's medications and Doctor visits? I have insurance and cancer and I am dead broke and have lost everything almost. Blue Cross has tried everything, raised premiums, tried to get me on pre-existing conditions, anything to keep me from getting treatments to save my life. How is human health any less important than say the 2nd ammendment?

  • You can't, it is completely wrong. People have the right to health care that is FREE, people have the right to defend themselves and buy guns if they so choose, I am a libertarian-middle-left according to some political analysis I took. But I am an avid gun enthusiest. I have actually killed one man who tried to kill me breaking into my home, and wounded his friend. Anyway, free health care can work, legalize hemp (not marijuana, that is actually mexican tobacco, goverment hype brainwashed us)

  • I know people who've had cancer. The operation and chemo / radiation do cost a lot. A lot more than the proposed $5000 a year an individual would receive if the proposed health care bill had been passed.

  • As someone who has cancer I can tell you, that is 100% true. And I am STILL waiting on my disability, in a state (Utah) that likes to give it out as little as possible, nearly as bad as I think it was Nebraska, and worse than Alabama. Just odd, anyway, no money, no way to get meds filled, the republican health care solution seems to be for us who are "draining the economy" to fall over dead or something. Not gonna happen tho...

  • you still don't have a clue, so go fuck your self, you people got to be the most gullable creatures on earth, bunch of rednecks, getting conned by their own healthcare industry, and they love it. and you misunderstand truth for insults, know the difference, big inbred 4

  • LOL, typical...

    Anyone who has an ounce of conservatism is automatically labeled a redneck, regardless of where they're from.

    Anyways, only a real redneck throws out insults without a real retort. I've stated material used on the bill and you haven't even responded accordingly without being childish.

    It's quite pathetic.

    I never said we don't need reform. Reread my statements and try to use 3rd grade reading comprehension skills before throwing stupid insults.

  • LittleDragon5, why don't you go to the humane society get your self a girlfriend, and go fuck your self you stinking fucking red neck, inbred , you don't know what your talking about, but don't worry you will, just reach up and pull your head out of your ass

  • First off, if you're going to insult another person's intelligence, you should make an effort to use 3rd grade grammar correctly.

    Secondly, you're Canadian and this video is about American issues. You should mind your own business.

    Also, everything I've stated is in the proposed bill (which you obviously also didn't read), so your petty insults carry no weight whatsoever.

    Petty insults coming from a 52 year old. It's something I'd expect from a teenager. Pathetic...

  • Big words are used, indeed!

    Learn to read. Everything from the $5000 per individual and $10000 per family (page 29, since you can't read), along with what's been stated on illegal aliens, is right in there as I have said it was.

    RESEARCH. Don't buy into this liberal nonsense. Look at what's happened already: Voter fraud and affiliations with prostitution. You believe they won't take similar actions to further their agenda? It's ignorance.

  • 3:21 thats what she said

  • How many of the liberals are on other YT videos defending Acorns illegal activites to give cheap housing and tax cheating advice to pimps and underage prostitutes.

    Hey wasnt Obama an Acorn figurehead and lawyer.

    the acorn doesnt fall far from the tree!

    i hope when you all realize you are being conned by all the democrat politicians pushing you into socialism, you can recover and become conservative (not republican)

  • i hope your internet words make you feel better about yourself : D :D

  • I laughed so much at the title.

  • "The devil's feet are swift...you hunt for sport...not to eat, but to kill for fun...what happens when you run out of animals? Do you then run into niggers to kill? <- Louis Farrakhan

  • Its amazing how dense and shallow liberals tend to be outside of trivial matters like sports, gossip & celebrity worshipping.

    just about every comment above with multiple negative thumbs down are most common sensical.

    Obama could wreck the country, destroy the economy, socialize every industry, bankrupt the nation & 90+% of his supporters would be behind him so long as he continued giving his slick campaign like speeches that "yes we can" "hope & change" etc etc

    feel good empty rhetoric

  • I agree.

    People were up in arms when Obama was called a liar when he stated that health care wouldn't be extended to illegal immigrants, but fail to realize that the proposed health care states otherwise. It also states that individuals would only be entitled to $5000 per year for care.

    Also look at what he's done with GM and various other companies. He is pushing a socialist agenda and people are praising him because he can give a good speech and project a good image.

  • To lildragqueen:You have not read the health care proposal as it relates to illegal aliens. You are just parroting ffrom even more ignorant pppl. Read the Bill! read what it says. Careful, big words are used. I have read it and have yet to find funding for illegals. Tell me where it is. Show me.

  • lildragqueen, that's original. Never saw that insult anywhere before... really.

    I'm not parroting from ignorant people, asshole. It states it CLEARLY on page 50 of the draft, which I assume you didn't read since you're jumping to unfounded conclusions. Seriously, do some fucking research before running that uneducated liberal cunt mouth of yours. I honestly shouldn't have to "show you", you should just learn to read carefully.

    Fucking cunt.

  • I am reading it right as I respond to you. page 50???? Cut and paste ass wipe..cut and paste your proof. Other wise STFU. And a liberal?? You are also making assumptions but, that is to be suspected from such trash as yourself.

  • Do your own damn research. You said you read it so you should know where to get access to it. From there, you just use the search function for page 50 on the PDF.

    You obviously haven't read it. It's pretty obvious that you're also a liar on top of a faggoty little prick. Now fuck off.

  • Well, all this doesn't matter since they're empty words that are highly ambiguous.

    The fact is that Obama is losing popularity by the day. It also doesn't help now that ACORN is going under and he's affiliated with them.

    In 2010, the Republicans will probably win the elections and his power will most likely be severely limited.

    He may have good intentions as a president, but he's clearly in over his head. Just look at his approval rating. The chart makes a big X.

  • It certainly is a little out of step, but honestly I think he probably meant in a political context as was suggested. More importantly, why is this even an issue? Big whoop, some guy popped a joke that was probably ill advised. There's bigger fish to fry in the entirity of the world's problems. Way to nitpick.

  • just because he is a republican doesn't mean all republicans are like this especially in idaho. i never heard of this guy until i watched this vid. i have lived in idaho my entire life. what he said is wrong plain and simple. i am embarassed that he is a rep of state

  • with so many horrible republicans...you have a long long longggggg way to go

  • you need to grow up. if you really think all republicans are like this you are completely blinded by lies. its like the saying there are so many horrible muslims out all of them should be held accountable for a select few's decision. so the next time you have something to say think first then respond

  • inside every Conservative and every Liberal are sad little people who still haven't grown up and can't cope with the fact that their country has to evolve beyond partisan bullsh*t to better itself. They're trying to hold on to their respective power for as long as possible and are too ignorant to ever compromise.

    Independent individuals FTW!!! :D

  • @MightyRearranger3

    You either lean toward one side or another. That's what you are.

  • US cities with strict gun control have highest crime & murder rate....why cant liberals see the connection?

    (hint: criminals get guns illegally & terrorize good people unable to arm themselves legally)

    Democratic cities are the poorest, least educated and most criminal of all US cities...why is that????

    (clue: democrat politicians need you to stay poor and dumb so you keep voting for them to make you wealthy and more advanced.......(clue #2: they are LYING to you)

  • people are giving you negative thumbs down... In their blind faith and beliefs, facts are irreverent. this is why you cant argue with libs, they must simply be defeated...

  • This guy is a cold blooded BIGOT. Jainen Garfolo was right. This is about hating a black man and we saw that last night when they were absolutly disrespectful towards OBAMA. Dems never did that to BUSH (I think so) when he addressed congress.

  • Socialists and Obama zombies get the hell out of america and take the illegals with you!

  • We don't want idiots like you in America. You get out of America. Go to France, they have fabulous healthcare system there, then maybe you'll finally realize what we're really fighting for here.

  • the secret service will look into it and determine he is no threat and was just shouting his mouth off like rev Wright or other wacky Obama peers.

    hes a failed president already who cares anymore.

  • He is a threat and he needs to be jailed.

  • turk, you are a turd. socialist.

    1st amendment & 2nd amendment are wonderful things.

    learn what a real threat is, before trying to make news out of nothing

  • You cant joke about assassinating the president when you are running for governor, you dumbass redneck.

  • Assassinating the President is no joking matter. Even if it is a legal thing to joke about, it is not a wise thing to joke about. Or a tasteful one.

  • What is a real threat? Doesn't it start with a thought, then it comes out of your mouth, then the next thing that happens, someone was freaky enough to actually do it. If you support this kind of talk, then you're insiting to rebellion as well. You are ceratinly not socialist, nor a communist; but you certainly are a democratic fool!

  • Are you trying to suggest this Governor actually wants to hunt the President?

    Political BS at its best.

    People need to learn to just let things go. These people wouldn't carrying guns in protests if it didn't tick off the Democrats so much.

    Just keep throwing wood onto the fire. If someone does end up shooting someone during a protest my finger is going to point straight at the Democrats, because they wouldn't still being carrying guns if the Democrats would just drop it already!

  • Nice circular argument you ignorant asshole. It doesn't matter what he intended, you can't go around encouraging those thoughts when there are right wing wackos like yourself running around a bunch of of guns and stupidity everywhere.

  • The man was obviously making a joke and I don't really see how he's advocating violence towards the president.

    It's you extreme liberals who are always blowing things way out of proportion. You automatically choose to associate a comment with an event when the two are completely unrelated. It's people like you who single minded and choose to see evil everywhere, even when it doesn't exist.

    And you have the gall to call others stupid? That's rich!

  • Youre crazy. You shouldnt joke about hunting down the president. Especially when he is president with 4x as many death threats as any other in history. There are too many ignorant racists out there to make this joke even remotely funny. I cant believe you try to turn this around and call liberals extreme. Thats rich, as youd say.

  • The man wasn't inciting violence.  What he said was a figurative statement about politics. "Hunting him like a fox" in this instance meant that the Republicans are going to try to make a comeback in the 2010 elections, which would severely limit the president's power.

    People are blowing this way out of proportion. Some here even going as far as saying that people who don't agree with the president should be locked up or deported.

    It reminds me of that cartoon back in January.

  • Give us all an example of what is being blown out of all proportion.

  • The monkey cartoon in Jan (or Feb) which depicted a cop shooting a monkey twice, with the caption saying "looks like we're going to have to find someone else to write the stimulus plan".

    The author was shocked when he was automatically denounced as racist by the liberals, even though the cartoon was in fact a reference to an angry escaped chimpanzee (from the philly or san diego zoo) that was shot twice by police.

    The same thing is happening with this comment.

    Both = victims of circumstances.

  • You would blame the democrats if a republican shot obama? Youre fucking insane. So the dems have gotten too upset and therefore encouraged them to carry guns? Thats like saying terrorism is the fault of the US because the terrorists like the attention. If you seriously think the dems would be to blame if an insane person with a gun killed obama, you are being so absurd.

  • markvanslam - What exactly kind of attention are we giving to terrorists? Shooting them? Invading countries where they are harbored? Ya. That's some real encouragement buddy.

  • Phasedma- Read my comment again. I said that it would be absurd to blame the us for terrorism because the US gives them attention. I was saying that because obviously the attention we give them is bombings and killing. So I dont think we actually disagree here. One could argue that we do give them attention by airing their videos, talking about "why they hate us" etc...but that would be another argument.

  • markvanslam - I guess at the end of the day it comes to this. I wouldn't blame Democrats if someone shot another person, but I wouldn't exactly give them a pat on the head either. The bottom line though is I highly doubt anyone is going to go and shoot another person at these rallies. Unless they have a permit to carry a gun and never have before - Even then though it is doubtful.

  • I have faith in my country, and while a lobbyist group is why we continue to have the right to bear arms our founding fathers initially gave us those right. If you have the legal right to carry a gun... You have a legal right to carry a gun... No matter where it might be. The exceptions are on private property where the owner does not permit it, or where the government has decided it is not safe.

  • ***While I support the rights of these people I do not support their decisions... The only time a gun should be used for political reasons is if you intend to fire it (aka wars)***

  • Only a nut carries guns to rallies and only nuts defend the other nuts. There are limits, when people carry guns to rallies they become an armed mob.

  • They'll have to shoot us first, then they'll be in prison. I'll stand in front of any armed man stalking Obama!

  • No. They become the same people they were when they legally carried a gun into the grocery store.

    A person legally carrying a gun. And why exactly would a person shoot another person at a protest/rally? Do you attack people that have the same view point as you?

  • I am not talking about the fine points of the law. But if you go to a rally bearing arms, then the message you send is the message of a lynch mob. Are you always so literal minded? When you go to a rally armed the message you send is one of war and hate.

  • That's absurd. If you carry a gun every single day (like many people do that own guns in states that allow them to carry them) and you bring a gun to a rally it doesn't magically change your intention.

    The suggestion that someone is going to shoot another person simply because they have a gun at a rally is absurd.

    Frankly under the same exact conditions - other then the mass attention to the gun - the person is much LESS likely to shoot the gun.

  • The government should imprison these sessessionists and rebels and make them pay for all the stupid remarks they make against our president. They are insiting rebellion and distabilizing the bovernment. These Republicans should be jailed or exiled away from this country. Exile them to France!

  • I dont like them either but political imprisonment aint the answer. Not in my humble opinion.

  • These Republicans are undermining the very essense of why the US Constitution was created. They claim to uphold it but their actions certainly go against it. When things don't go their way, they insite to dirty tactics that are essentially anti-government and subversive. Are the people just gonna stand still while these Republicans harass our elected president? I SAY JAIL THEM!! I'm sure there will be lots of evidence that would support their subversion.

  • You are a Fucking idiot. Have a nice day, ASSHOLE!

  • Seriously though, liberals are very quick to judge, calling anyone with an ounce of conservatism a "dumb racist hick".

    While dumb racist hicks do exist, many simply feel that the president is not doing a good job at all. In fact, 51% of people disapprove of his performance and that number is growing every day.

  • Little Dragon: If you are referring to my comment about "Non-thinking inbred assholes", allow me to explain.

    Inbred was a strong word, nevertheless, most of my Anti Obama coworkers and neighbors are truly: Semi-literate, bitter, backwards thinking, hateful bigots.

    They worship at the First Church of Fox News and believe EVERYTHING that a conservative with a loud mouth says!

    They REFUSE to think for themselves and blame President Obama for everything wrong in America.

  • WHOA... His approval rating has gone down to normal levels instead of the collossal levels of a few months ago. Must be the constant attacks from FOX...

  • Attacks from Fox?

    It's actually his policies.

    Most Republicans disliked his political views to begin with, so the growing number is actually coming from liberals and moderates such as myself.

  • ... His policies?

    Universal healthcare? So many lies have been told about it, that if you believed the hype, Obama is going to set loose thousands of beaurocrats to man death panels and drown downs syndrome kids at birth. And what are they saying? Get Government hands off Medicare? Really? The Republicans are feeding off disinformation, and deliberately stoking the fires.

  • Actually, it's quite the contrary.

    For instance, I know someone in France (near identical health care system that is being proposed) who had cancer. He was told by a board that he would have to wait 4 months to receive treatment, which allowed the cancer to spread (but was not fatal in the end, though it could have been).

    I also know someone who had cancer here in the US, and through private insurance was able to set up an operation and radiation within 2 weeks.

    Wait and see...

  • In America, what would have happened?

    If they did not have health insurance, would they have been treated?

    If they DID have health insurance, would the company have honored the agreement?

    Would the patient have been bankrupted by the treatment?

    Had that person died, would their spouse have been bankrupted?

    My mother was diagnosed with cancer a few days before christmas and she was in treatment within the week.

  • Well, dangerouslytalented, I'm not saying that we shouldn't have reform.

    Everyone should have access to health care.

    I just don't believe the government should run health care because the government does not work for profit and therefore aren't obliged to give prompt and effective service.

    I'm sad to say that the people we know here who had cancer received such prompt treatment because of said profits.

  • The government runs healthcare (in some way or another) in every other Westernised nation from Japan to Australia, Canada to Germany, even India. The government DOES give prompt and effective service.

    The profit motive in the US has led insurance companies to deny coverage to those who have paid for it, people are going to emergency rooms for primary care (the most expensive way to get treatment there is) and the majority of personal bankruptcies in the US are due to medical bills.

  • I also saw profit motive cause my grandfather (who needed attention) to lay in a hospital bed for days before anything was done (hey, they get payed for time in the hospital), and somehow got an infection during his stay.

    There's also people who aren't given any treatment because of said profit motive, not to mention how profit motive affects preventative vs curative bias.

    competition's great, but normally it's "produce a better product for less" not "charge as much as you can & pay as little"

  • Your mother got treatment because she already has insurance, you moron! The plan being proposed WILL NOT affect those that already have private insurance! Debating with you idiots is getting extremely tiresome.

  • In Australia, private insurance is not NECESSARY. It is seen as something a bit extra, it covers that which is not covered by Medicare, like optical, dental, private hospitals, etc.

  • You don't know me, I am not a radical left liberal. I just see right through all of the pathetic tactics of the republican party. The "joke" may have been perceived as such if those on the radical right weren't already bringing assault weapons to Obama speeches. Its similar to yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater... you have to draw the line somewhere.

  • Someone should tell this guy that he is a little dim

  • New studies revealed that on avg a typical republican has an IQ 30 -50 points lower than a typical democrat. NO JOKE! Also that those with lower IQ's are substantially louder and more obnoxious when gathered in groups, compared to those with higher IQs.

    That explains EVERYTHING when examining the current political debates.

    The question is: Do you want STUPID people dictating policy in this country?!

  • Unfortunatly even with Dems in charge, they seem to have the need to "dummy down" everything they do so the GOP followers can understand it, like the "death panels" ect. If we dummy down everything we do so they can understand it or get rid of completely because they cant or wont understand it, we have Stupid people running our country anyway. Sad to say and sad to see.

  • "I don't know what's going on in those houses . . ."

    Rexburg, ID, happens to have almost the highest concentration of Mormons anywhere

    hmmm . . .

  • ....One day All of us will realize that we are Americans. Right wing....left....liberal whatever lets be a country. We don't all have to get along but we can at least be a nation that respects one another and can agree to disagree. This is why when you leave the country they don't go "Oh God is an American right winger" they say...Freakin AMERICANS!! Its a shame that the world looks at us as a country more than we do....Im mean really Civil war talk?? Come on now Be a Proud American

  • no....that will never happen....only for a day when a national tragedy occurs..

  • True indeed well said

  • Please draw the lines so we can go to civil war, I hate these right wingers. It's time for a bloody revolution. Fuck the GOP.

  • My RW preacher brother recently got a hand gun and other distant family bought assault rifles and loaded up on ammo.... "for the revolution". These are fat lazy Americans that have never even shot a weapon in their life before last year..... seriously! Here I am, the progressive liberal with prior service military and I've been shooting rounds ever since I was a small lad. This shit is crazy!

  • LET'S MAKE A DEAL. You Republicans hunt President Obama, and let us liberals and progressives hunt down: Dick Cheney, George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Steele, and Sarah Payless.....I mean Palin!

  • Im a conservative independant and I am not happy with Obama or the liberal congress, and I think they will lose in 2010. However, I agree that all the dangerous talk is not good. You want to defeat Obama and congress? Do it at the voting booth, but making comments that can be conscrewed as pro-violence is no good.

  • I agree.

    If you want Obama out of office, vote him out of office.

    However, many people here completely fail to realize that the demonstrators who brought the guns to the rally did so not to threaten the man, but to demonstrate their discontent towards his rumored views against the 2nd amendment.

    They were protesting, albeit with bizarre tactics. It's not the first time protest have been done with those sort of tactics (ex: environmentalists chaining themselves to a tree).

  • I agree, yet I disagree with you at the same time. If you dont like Obama, vote him out; don't go out there and be an asshole and bring a gun. But there is a BIG difference between the environmentalists and the birthers. The environmentalists did very bizarre things, I couldn't agree more but they did it to prove a point. They're point was that to cut down this tree your gonna have to cut me down first or something. These people are bringing LOADED ASSAULT RIFLES to the PRESIDENT!!! WTF!!!!

  • but that's a fucking tree... GUNS ARE NOT TREES....there is a huge difference and there is no comparison in protests! maybe in passion of the belief but no difference! you carry gun to protest....fuck that gun carrying protester comes near me

  • You made a good point, HOWEVER.....Non-thinking inbred assholes are getting worked up over rhetoric and bullshit.

    The operative word you mentioned was "rumored". They heard "RUMORS" about "Obama wants to take away our guns", and like in the game of football, were running towards the goal line without having the ball in their hands!!

  • actually, if you watch the other video about the pastor, the guy with the AR-15 and the poster about watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants, goes to a church where the pastor screams about how he wants Obama to die.

    So no, it wasn't just about the 2nd Amendment, if Obama had walked around the corner, that guy might have taken the shot.

    Why the secret service is putting up with this shit, when during Bush appearances the wrong tshirt could get you arrested, is anyone's guess

  • I realize they go to the same church, but I was stating that the protester wasn't racially motivated since he's black.

    Do I feel like an armed person should be able to get within shooting range of the president? The answer's no.

    However, I do feel that people have the right to protest by using such measures. The protester was carrying a rifle but made no signs of aggression and showed no intent of using the weapon.

  • These kinds of incidents need to be treated seriously. These militant minded, conservative nutjobs are a leader away from causing a second American Civil War.

    We need to seriously become vigilant in these times and show them that we won't just sit idly by while they continue to threaten our country!

  • What do you want to do? Go kill everyone who decides to use his right to free speech?

  • if he's carrying gun and calling out for hate and violence...then yea ill kill that mother fucker before he kills me....cuz i don't trust a crazy mother fucker with an assault rifle at a fucking starbucks

  • Did this politician go kill people at starbucks? No. This is just a bunch of liberal bullshit.

  • I don't recall you pansy libtards getting your panties in a bunch when someone made a movie about assassinating George Bush.

  • @ flockofgoat:

    nobody cared about that movie because it wasn't a documentary.

  • Strage how the police are allowing

    these gun toters near Obama's events, yet

    when we went with signs, not guns, signs

    protesting Mr. Bush's policies (and him) we

    were put into "free speech zones" and in

    some cases arrested.

    The police are showing their right wing/racist

    tendencies here. Shameful.
