For some people black certainly comes into the mix. The flak Obama gets from the right is nearly unprecidented. But I tend to believe it's more down to the right moving to the extremist corner than his skin color.
I mean, come on, Nixon ran a criminal racket from the Oval Office, Bush II lied you into wars and Reagan shipped weapons to Iran to support his favorite death squad in Nicaragua.
Given all that, Obama doesn't seem that bad. But compared to todays GOP, Nixon, Reagan and even Bush II were bleeding heart liberals. Another step right and there lies the abyss of fascism. I'm sure, Donald is well equipped to take that final step. According to his own account at the Republican debate.

Oh, Divinity . . . as someone raised Pentecostal, I can absolutely attest that: There is no hate quite like Christian hate. Unless you count ISIS. Ok, fundie hate, whether is Christian or Muslim . . . But trust me, with these groups, if you're not a member, they want to see you burn. They'd gather around your fire, cheer, throw things, taunt you about going to hell for not believing in the right god, and toast marshmallows.

I'm disapointed in Obama because despite the promise of change he has effectively delivered the third and fourth consecutive terms of W. It's also the reason I won't vote for Clinton.

You can add jews to the list too. What the radicals are pulling in Jerusalem these days leaves even the rightwing government cringing in shame.
Yes, there are always some understanding faith as a license to hate. We have some of them on this very board. Especially when it comes to the dick contest of who's religion is the absolute and ultimately right one.

You can't see any difference between Obama and Dubya? Really? How about Kagan and Sotomayor on the supreme court instead of two more nazi business cocksuckers? How about the Affordable Care Act? How about saving the auto industry?
I'm sure fucking Bush would have accomplished all of that.

Apparently it never occurred to this douchebag just to not punch people he's allergic to!

They resurface everywhere these days. Teaches you something on humans. Someone has closed the toilet lid in 1945 and forgot to flush. Now the brown masses have developed too much gas and have blown it open.
