SD and other people who eat up conservative talk radio, Obama's name Hussein is only "off limits" when one is attempting to use it in a negative light, trying to get people to associate him with Saddam Hussein. That is dishonest and frankly hate speech. And to generalize all democrats as believing that "america sucks" goes beyond any symbolence of intelligence and looks more like some ignorent nut-job holding a 12-gauge and a noose telling people to hate others because of their name and skin color. I think you should get used to saying President Barak Hussein Obama, because if he keeps his momentum, he'll have that job.

I hardly listen to conservative talk radio. Hannity is the only one I listen too occasionally.

Don't stuff words in my mouth.

lol, don't get mad at me. You're the one who posted the item from Rush Limbaugh, and it's been said that you have nearly quoted him word-for-word on many an occasion.

Would Hillary have done the same if someone on AirAmerica lampooned McCain as a corrupt war mongerer who wanted to nuke Iran?

That's right, can't talk about his ears, either, because when Maureen Dowd made some comment about his ears, he went straight into the crowd and said, "I'm very sensitive about my ears." She said, "We're trying to toughen you up." Well, it hasn't worked. Can't use the name Hussein, can't call him a liberal, and this is the kind of thing -- look, it's brilliant on Obama's part. He's setting the rules, and everybody's going to abide by them. Republican National Committee, "Okay, we can't call him a liberal because he's going to tear into us, we don't want him tearing into us." Well, I don't know how you're going to characterize his policies if you don't call him a liberal. And, by the way, what's so bad about being a liberal? How come none of these liberals want to be called liberals?

See, Obama's no different than any of the rest of them, folks. No different at all. Nothing new here. The only thing new is the Democrats have now made it official that their guiding principle is "America sucks." But they have to mask who they are, they have to disguise themselves, camouflage themselves, whatever, you call them a liberal, and it's a personal attack. So Obama's now said liberal is off limits, can't do it. What will Republicans do? Your guess is as good as mine, but I hope they don't shy away from that. This Hussein business, that could backfire. It's so charged. It's almost one of those things that could arouse sympathy for Obama, but regardless, I can't believe that somebody's name is off limits. I just don't believe it."
If you are going to quote Limbaugh, you may as well quote David Duke too. Only a few shades of difference there.

Oh alright, it sounded like total lies to me. I guess we have a different way of looking at it.

This is my first post so go easy on me!!!

OK, am I just out on the limb here, BUT as an American, and deciding WHO I want to be MY President, I think I should want to know, and have the right to know, EVERYTHING about a candidate's life. I want to know his/her up-bringing; I want to know his/her religious beliefs (including what is preached in his/her church); I want to know if he/she ever wrote or embraced a contraversal report; I want to know about his/her family members (including the wife/husband); I want to know his/her political views; I want to know his/her voting record; I want to know his/her FULL name; I want to know EVERYTHING!!! I mean, this person will be the most powerful person in the world, and IMO, I think we, as Americans, need to know everything possible about the individual before voting or not voting for him/her.

I am sick and tired of Obama scooting around issues. If anybody says anything about him, all he does is make a joke out of it. If anybody asks him a question, all he says is "Change", yet he doesn't EXPLAIN HOW he's going to make changes. The man needs to start explaining his "policies", and explain how he's going to achieve those "policies" in detail!!!
