I want to know, why do these people hate Obama so much?

[Divinity]

Primarily because we've developed a culture of political hate, where it's fine to hate people for their political beliefs. Most of you hate Republicans you've never met for equally little reason.

Equally little reason?

How about wanting to take away people's healthcare?
How about wanting to take away people's foodstamps?
How about wanting to end Net Neutrality?
How about wanting to ban gay marraige?
How about wanting to fire gay people for being gay?
How about wanting to force Christian Morals on ever-fucking-body.
How about wanting to discriminate against transgenders?
How about wanting to throw everybody in jail for using weed?
How about wanting to discriminate against Muslims?
How about wanting to discriminate against Hispanics?
How about how they want to make it legal to dump coal waste into waters?
How about how they want to make it legal for employers to pay their employees less?
How about how they want to teach fucking Creationism in schools?

But no.  There's little reason to hate Republicans.

Accruing enough Pinocchio's, some on pretty important matters and compounded with brazen repetition isn't generally viewed as 'endearing' . . . . .

When Repubs learn to stop voting Repub, then I'll stop hating them.

So basically it's legit for you to hate them but not the other way around. Got it.

Anyone can hate me for any reason. I do not need anyone to like me in order to feel better about myself or live my life to its fullest.

They could come up with a similar list. But if you never had a civil conversation about it, you would never know. What about Hispanic republicans? Do you hate them too?

[Divinity]

Most of those are Republican values, though. Not just what Liberals think those values are. Just look at their fucking politicians to see that.

Yes, I hate Hispanic Republicans too. Why the fuck wouldn't I? Chances are they're the religious fucktards that want to ban gay marriage in the first place. And if not, they probably want to fuck over the poor. And even if they don't think they're fucking over the poor, they don't give a fuck about what they're doing or not, in which case i can say they can go fuck off.

Also when's the last time someone said "We survived a White President." Because a lot of fuckers out there are saying "We survived a black President" Not to mention all the times those fuckers called for Obama's birth certificate. You want to say it's about the issues? Then why the fuck did they attack him on eating fucking Dijon Mustard and asking him for his goddamn birth certificate? And why the fuck do so many dumbpulibcunts complain about Obamacare, while liking the ACA?

Oh yeah, remember all those fucking times they bitched about Obama golfing, and going on vacation a lot? Notice how fucking silent they are now that Trump is doing the same goddamn thing. It's all done with bad faith.

Seems I can never get a straight answer from these Obama hating Republicans. I really just want to know what he has done that has made your life as miserable as some of these people claim to be. I understand he had plenty of weakness's. But he couldn't have been all that bad.

I voted for him the first time but didn't have much care for him after the first year or so. He was too big of wealth distribution, his foreign policies were lackadaisical as hell, he didn't have a single word or action to help racial issues, he was far too accepting of refugees, and spewed shit about Islam being a religioun of piece and such.
Really, outside of making him self out to be a social retard though, he wasn't all bad.

Short answer:  He's a democrat.  They need nothing more than that.

I mean, that's about all it comes down to.  I've seen some lefties say it's because he's black, but, really, the same people who hate Obama didn't hesitate to line up behind Ben Carson or Herman Cain.  

But it's still a question a lot of right wingers need to think over because they should kinda love him.  He rarely, if ever, stood up to the GOP.  He was able to put a couple of people on the supreme court and he would have had three if he had fought it.  But as far as policy, if you take out Obamacare, they pretty much got everything they wanted (and now that they have the chance, they aren't as eager to get rid of Obamacare as they were before).  I think the other biggest accomplishments of Obama were actually places where he didn't do anything; specifically, instead of fighting them, the federal government didn't fight it when states legalized marijuana and he didn't fight same sex marriage.  If they actually wanted less government interfering with our lives, Republicans should have loved this: government doesn't care who you marry or what you smoke.  

A better question the right needs to ask themselves is this:  the GOP supported Dubya in 2000 and 2004 but has hated him since 2006; why?  What policies did Bush support that you hate?  What actions did Bush take that you disagree with?  How did Bush hurt the country?  This is important because, from my perspective, the GOP has always been promoting exactly the same policies that Dubya has championed.

1. the anti war movement died because Bush shut it down

2. Comparing the size and backing of the tea party to the anti war movement is absurd. Comparing the tea parties 6 year campaign to anti trump is even sillier.

3.Poltical hatred is sometimes justified .The idea all political parties and regimes are equal is stupid. And gives cover for dangerous groups .

4. No we don't hate the Trump Regime for the same reason people hated Obama

Get your heads out

The reason they accepted those two was they repeated the right Republican mantra's. If either of them deviated they be out faster then you can say shield . But I point out a great many ex Obama supporters of Trump voted for him because he was the "right "kind of black .

Oh, you mean their boys........guys who know their place and don;t mind telling all the other uppity ones where their place is too?

People don't burn a person in effigy while shouting racial slurs in private and blowing the whistle in public because they don't like his blue tie.  Don't kid yourself.

Negatron, Dubya was the neocon crowning achievement. The product of decades of work and subversion, and plenty of self mutilation, from within the GOP.  The GOP was not always a neocon body. Neocons have more in common with liberals than they did with traditional conservatives.
