Usually, in a muted way. The best insults are the ones which fly over people’s heads. You know: “I hope when you get home your Mother doesn’t come out from under the porch and bite you, again.” Or, “When he isulted you, did you hit him with your bag of quarters?”

Must have been before my time. I’m sure sixty years ago it was a hoot.

Why is the left-wing media so focused on this? Is this their mid-term strategy? Obfuscation, maybe? All I know is that these lefties are unhinged. The credibility of the MSM fell from not much to almost zero after their cheerleading for candidate Obama. Now, it has basically hit absolute zero for their attempts to marginalize opposition to their hero. If it weren’t so serious, it’d be funny. And people wonder why Newsweek went out of business. There simply aren’t enough left-wing kooks out there to support such a ridiculous rag.

Hey, you forgot BLACK!!!!!!!!
since that seems to be why the hate aimed at the president is so over the top

“Can anyone recall George Bush ever being called names?”

Yes, but when we called him an idiot, it was apt.

The right calls Obama everything but the N word, and none of the names y’all call him are true. He is not a “socialist” just for starters.

But shoot, I’ve never called him a socialist. I have said he went to a racist church for twenty years. That’s a fact.

Pres Obama is definitely a socialist. Instead of denying it, I should think the Left would be proud of it.

We’ll be able to call him ex-President in 2 years, 4 months, and 20 days. That’ll do for me.

See the cover is about the things that he’s called that he isn’t, that must mean that MichelleF doesn’t think Obama’s a liar. Welcome to the team, Michelle.

I think ‘ nihilism ‘ describes the Left’s world views better than socialism .

I would put Bush’s IQ up against Obama’s any day.

This is similar to the cover Newsweek did on all the Bush name-calling, isn’t it? – OH, WAIT….

But see, it’s not so much a left wing coming unhinged. If you read the paragraph, it’s clear that the right has chosen to throw out buzz worthy name calling but doesn’t attack specific issues. I think the point of the story is how the name calling negates the real issues at hand. Can you call out specific problems with his policies? Or do you just jump on the name calling band wagon? Now, I have to say one thing that has happened thanks to this administration is the new credit card laws. I like not being tricked, to having things told to me honestly on my statement (though they have found ways) and making it difficult for the companies to hide fees or to be held accountable for bad decisions. Now, that’s just one policy I liked. I also like a lot of the Wall Street reform packages (though it should be a 1000 times tougher) as well as the proposed tax credits for small businesses. I like some of the health care bill (not all mind you). I don’t like the off shore drilling thing. I don’t like the saying he could close Guatanamo but didn’t. I don’t like the shaky economy and the fact that he hasn’t really pushed through things other than a stimulus bill that just slowed down the problem as opposed to actually averting it. But I also could give a rat’s ass whether he’s a Muslim or not, or whether he’s even a Christian. (I like that he was raised by an atheist because Christianity then is a choice and not something that was taught at an early age. Usually Christian teaching at an early age is done to scare kids into thinking that they are doomed for Hell for not believing in Christ. Even in my 20′s, when my belief was shaky, I couldn’t get the turning away from Christianity leads to Hell. It’s an awful thing to teach a child and makes learning and researching the right path for them also impossible.) Either way, my point is that stop the name calling and start debating the issues.

I’ll double-down on Obama on that one! Are you freaking serious?! The guy is a Constutional Law Professor and headed the Harvard Law Review. George Bush managed a baseball team and was Governor of Texas.

Bush was not an idiot, but I wouldn’t put him up there with Obama. It is well known that he is one of the most intellectually superior POTUS’s we’ve ever had.

Most site place Bush at around 125, which is nothing to scoff at, but Obama is up around 170…sorry, man

Bush is the only president to have an MBA from Harvard.

But he’s not. See, the thing is that the Right view these tapes as honesty, truth, the way it is. And do you know who’s watching that? The Right. So, he’s telling the already converted the stories that may not hold up in the moderate sphere. Same with the Left, who are saying things (that really aren’t 100% true) about the rally, and those hearing them are the already converted. Those in the middle…don’t really give a fuck. They need jobs and food. So, I can say, “Man, did you see Olbermann take down that Beck Rally thing down a peg.” Of course, you won’t agree with that, but members of the left will. So, nothing is getting debunked. Beck, who set his own message about turning toward God (which I still say is lame, not the message as so much the entire idea is something that has been a part of nation building for so long. It’s nothing new, and therefore nothing historic.) and being a decent person. Wouldn’t the Christian thing be to say, “They’ve said some negative things, but that’s okay, I understand why, I forgive them.” At least, that’s what Christ regularly preached, right?

Patrick Henry said:

Um, that’s not a good idea. Unless you like making losing bets. Not saying which one is the better leader, but yes, Obama is smarter in the IQ department.

Of course, we all knew that Newsweek was in the tank for Obama. And we also know that anyone who criticizes the President gets smeared by the Left. But even putting those facts together, this pathetic exercise in demonizing opponents goes lower than I thought possible. Maybe next week Newsweek will put a big photo of a teabag on the cover, below the word RACIST in 200 pt. font. Truly, an intellectually dead magazine….

Where did you get that number? No one has seen any transcripts or any records from grade school, middle school, high school, college, or law school that I am aware of.

I always remember around 2002 or so, when I said something that was anti-Bush, I got slammed for not supporting my president and being anti-American. Hmmm, sounds familiar, only replace anti-American with racist or something similar. In other words, when it comes to smearing, the Right ain’t any better than the Left. I was the outcast for not agreeing with the Patriot Act (should’ve never passed) or No Child Left Behind. My Repub and even some Dem friends looked down upon me. Now, I’m sure there are plenty who wanted to criticize Bush during those early years and they got called names or considered bad people for not supporting the President. In other words, you and the people on the other side of the issue that you’re talking about are full of shit.

Asshat khan theres no reason to go all aryan nation white supremist stormfronty on everyone though we know thats your thing

Patrick Henry said:
How would you know?

How would you know it isn’t? What does it matter? IQ doesn’t equal leadership. Okay, here we go, let me try this. I think Obama has a higher IQ than Bush. Obama graduated from an elite private school on a scholarship. He scored 1230 on his SAT’s, which is in the 96.9 percentile and he got into things like Harvard and Columbia without help from a well-to-do political family. So, most likely, he’s got the higher IQ. Now, Bush ain’t a dummy. He just can’t speak well. He did run companies into the ground with bad decisions, but again, doesn’t make him a dummy. But if you looked through the backgrounds. Now Bush did score a 1200 on his SAT, which is impressive. But the thing that hurst in the comparative studies of the two is the influence by his father. It’s hard to say who had to work harder to show grades and ambition to get into the prestigious schools. So, based on an educated guess, I would put Obama’s IQ higher than Bush (I would predict a 135 to 125 comparison), again, not much higher, but certainly higher. And part of that would deal with how much more he fought to get up there based on scholarships and grants. But, I would like to specify this, IQ don’t mean shit. (Because the IQ test is pretty much bullshit.)

Isn’t this the magazine that sold for a dollar ? Harman should get change .

The videotapes he used are of speeches and live interviews at both the Tawana gathering, and the Beck Civil Rights Rally. It provides a documentary of the events.

You can believe the Professional-Left editorial interpretation of the tapes, or you can believe your own eyes and ears!!!

Permatiltx said:

Perm, impressive post. The reason it came up is because Shoot said that calling Bush an idiot was “apt”. I don’t think IQ equals leadership either, but Bush is not an idiot. Kudos to you for pointing that out. Just curious, where did you get the SAT numbers?

Jonathan Alter withdrew his head from Keith Olbermann’s ass long enough to

I also believe he called the President a racist and that he hates white people, yet in the same tape in the same minute, he said he didn’t call the President a racist. I saw the tapes, yes, and I’ll tell you exactly what I saw. A man who raised a lot of money for a noble cause because he duped a lot of people into thinking that this would be a historic rally with a message that is no different than what is said in churches across the country. Anyone outside the religious sphere thougt, “That’s it?” And the ones within the religious sphere thought, “Well, I guess I should turn to God,” despite the fact that they are in the sphere that has already turned to God. Yes, we should all be good people, more righteous, and seeing the things you have written about the Left or well, anyone that disagrees, it seems you like to say Fuck You to the initial message that Beck threw out. It seems that even he says Fuck You to that message. I’ve always considered myself a good person and I don’t need God or anyone else to tell me how to do the right thing. My point is that in the battle of Left vs. Right, tapes don’t mean shit (see ACORN and NAACP Shirley Sherrod for evidence of that. Despite the ACORN tapes being proven to be fraudulent, you probably still won’t admit it.). Tapes can be manipulated (the Left were using the same tapes he was) and people with their eyes already focused one way won’t be strayed another way. Either way, I do my best to not 100% believe tapes (I’m an editor by day so I know about the manipulation of image and am one of the more cynical when it comes to the use of media as evidence).

Just typed in Obama’s IQ and Bush’s IQ and those both came up quite a bit. Not one particular place to be honest. Bush is actually set at 1206. I realized that after I wrote my post, didn’t want anyone thinking I was lying, so I apologize for that misprint. Now, Gerald Ford, that guy was mad stupid, am I right? (Just joking on last sentence). And I saw the calling Bush an idiot apt thing after you wrote this comment. Shouldn’t saw where you were coming from. Sorry about that.

Did you hear the conversation between Bill O’Reilly and Al Sharpton last night? There is more free exchange of ideas and diversity of opinion in an hour of Fox, than in a year’s subscription to Newsweek. And without the stultifying political correctness that permeates every issue of that disgraced rag. That’s why Newsweek was recently sold for a dollar — now, not an issue of Newsweek, but the whole company — while Fox is constantly growing its audience and influence.

Then, I must assume that you subscribe to Newsweek, or buy it each week, sine you know so much about it. And that you have it down to one hour of Fox vs. one year of Newsweek, means you must read it cover to cover, and take notes! That’s very commendable of you! By the way, readership at Fox has dropped (as it has in all of the cable channels), but that’s minor point.

Newsweek is a more liberal magazine than Mother Jones. This cover will go right up there with other greats such as: Is your Baby Racist?, How do you solve a problem like Sarah (Palin), and Al Gore The Thinking Man’s Thinking Man. Why do the owners of such a formerly reputable magazine repeatedly make the decision to double down on stupidity.

Permatiltx said:

I disagree. The right wants to have a dialogue on the role and scope of government, and tries constantly — via Town Hall meetings, tea party rallies, etc. — to start this discussion. The left refuse to engage at the level of ideas, and only responds with smears, insults, character attacks and ridicule. And if you want to know why, just read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radical where he advises “progressives” to do just that. True, political operators of various persuasions have always engage in character attacks and hardball campaigns, but for the Left today that is the only thing they do. The smear is the basic strategy for how leftists deal with those who disagree with them. Of course, this is now backfiring, since people can see how shallow and dishonest this approach is, but the leftwing pundits don’t have any other game plan. So the smears from the left will continue — as you can see by turning on MSNBC any night of the week.

Maybe the rag should have had ‘RACISTS’ ‘BIGOTS’ ‘ANTI AMERICAN’ ‘ISLAMOPHOBES’ STUPID’ ‘HATERS’ ‘REDNECKS’ listed with a little cover stating what our ragazine has portrayed the Tea Party and conservatives for the last 16 months. Classless way to go out, but that’s no big surprise.

The accompanying article by Jonathan Alter states things thusly:”

The problem with your thinking is that that stuff isn’t coming from the people opposed to his politics, it’s coming from the people opposed to HIM as a person. Because even in the cases when his politics agree with those people, he is a moderate so there are cases when they actually do agree, they STILL attack him.

You misunderstand. Media that covers the news is growing. Media that covers up the news is shrinking. Did you get it straight this time?

I know you would like to believe that people are too stupid to tell the difference. But when they see the New York Times or CNN ignore stories for ideological reasons, they can figure out what’s going on. Fox and the Wall Street Journal are growing because they don’t bury important news like the leftwing media. And you can spin and spin all you want, but honest news providers will always win out over propagandists.

Yep, it’s still NewsWEAK, and it’s still a failure.
