Sean Hannity Asks If It’s Now Acceptable To Say We’re Going To Kick Obama’s “Bleep”?

video
» 106 comments

It’s not like you see this analysis coming down the opinion media turnpike. During an interview with Today‘s Matt Lauer earlier this week, President Obama explained why he was interviewing experts on how best to stop the BP oil spill, saying “I want to know who’s ass to kick.” Last night Sean Hannity brought this up, asked if it’s now acceptable to say that “we’re going to send someone up to kick Obama’s “bleep.” No, Sean, its not. He’s the President.

This is a great example of how President Obama can’t win. Just last week Hannity interviewed former New York city Mayor Rudy Giuliani who complained about Obama’s professorial style, and claimed that the White House was treating the oil spill as a political crisis not a real crisis. Now that Obama reveals his fury over the thus far ineffective efforts to stop the leak, he’s labeled as acting unpresidential?

Hannity tries to create an equivalency between a previous comment that Obama made about sending a particularly vociferous supporter up to “tear him up.” That’s clearly a colloquialism that is in no way similar to actually claiming someone should kick the president’s butt. Of course Hannity wasn’t actually suggesting that he would ever say such a thing, but comparing presidential rhetoric with that of an opinion journalist is like comparing apples to oranges.

  • The Real Royal King

    OK, Colby, Cowpatty is getting into “let’s call the Secret Service” territory. He needs to be corralled.

  • http://thedailybarb.com Burnnotice

    This “Garden Nome” is such an Idiot, I don’t know were to start. You don’t threaten the office of the president with violence no matter who is in office. As far as Politically. I don’t see it happening because this little lucky charms eater Leprechaun, and his party of nothing, are DONE, DONE, DONE………

  • stoogedudes

    AmericanCowboy…you are a disgrace. Even if this is a schtick by a liberal trying to make conservatives look bad, you should be banned from this website.

    What a despicable thing to say. For the love of God…

  • http://thedailybarb.com Burnnotice

    Yep. You crossed the line AC…..

  • MichelleF

    Colby, isn’t Obama’s water getting heavy by now? How much do you get in protection $$ from him anyway? Or maybe an occassional party at biden’s is enough to keep you in line.

  • AmericanCowboy

    “F” the Commie and “F” you Commie lovers

    LMAO

  • MichelleF

    Even if this is a schtick by a liberal trying to make conservatives look bad

    I think you are onto something there.

  • paulmdoro

    Bush never had parties or get togethers at the ranch?

    As for AC, well, his comments speak for themselves. Truly repugnant in every way.

  • The Real Royal King

    Good afternoon, Michelle.

    I would like to see you roundly condemn the posts of AmericanCowboy, above. I’m sure you will agree that it is despicable to even joke about assassination, not to mention lynching of an African-American.

    My thanks.

  • paulmdoro

    Right AC could never be a real conservative. Unthinkable.

  • ImNotBlue

    This is a great example of how President Obama can’t win. …

    No it’s not!

    The President needed to show some emotion because that’s what people were demanding. But there’s a difference between showing emotion, and being inappropriate. Come on, Colby… be serious.

    “An ass to kick,” is something you hear at the bar… not something from the President (no matter how many “beer summits” he holds). Obama could show emotion, frustration and anger, without swearing (or semi-swearing). A lame defense… really lame.

    Uh-oh… looks like King is “snitching.” Hey, remember when you said that’s what I was doing, because I called you out for publishing someone’s address, and suggesting you wanted to set fire to their business?! Remember, when I said “this person needs to go,” and you said I was a “snitch” for complaining.

    Oh… how times have changed.

    AC comments were over the line… but since when has that been a problem on Mediaite? Well, except for when the target is someone on the left… then I guess it’s a problem. Otherwise, “oh well.”

  • stoogedudes

    Seriously, why is AmericanCowboy still posting on here? If RRK and Sarainitaly can be almost banned for being particularly nasty to each other on here, I think it’s the right thing to ban this dolt from every posting on Mediaite or any of it’s sister sites. Might want to call Secret Service as well.

    Look, I disagree with conservaties on here quite a bit and some of the things some of them say I believe can be zany, but I don’t believe any of the righties on here would be near as ridiculous as AC is, and it seems like it’s all a ploy to make conservatives look bad. You know, there are other ways to do that besides making horrific comments like the one AC made here.

  • stoogedudes

    This goes for liberals saying similar thing about Republican presidents. It’s not acceptable anywhere, at anytime. Liberals who do things like AC should be banned too from here.

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    “No, Sean, its not. He’s the President.”

    Because he IS the President, thus the most powerful man in this country, is why I feel an individual private citizen should be able to say such things. As long as it is not a realistic threat, more power to an individual. It is the President, who as the most powerful man, should not be able to say such things. he needs to be very mindful of his position, and thus the threat he doles out.

    However, I’m not real concerned about Obama saying A$$. We’ve got bigger problems, and he’s got even bigger problems. I don’t really see why you people are so concerned about protecting the President from verbal jabs. he has the power, not a private citizen.

  • paulmdoro

    Are we really offended that the president said ass? Bush called a reporter an asshole and Cheney said fuck you to Leahy. Were conservatives outraged by that language?

  • http://thedailybarb.com Burnnotice

    I wonder what the Gulf fishermen are thinking right now. For that matter everyone in the Gulf. I don’t even like the guy (Obama) but I love it when an American says he is going to kick some British ass for making a mess in our homeland.. Go for it Mr. President. Make me proud!!!

    P. S. AC is a perfect example of the kind of people I seen in the south before Civil Rights. If the Black Panthers wanted to sting him up I’m sure Many a Conservative would buy the rope….

  • ImNotBlue

    stoogedudes says:
    June 9, 2010 at 2:05 pm

    Well the faux Conservative is nothing new, really. We’ve seen quite a few of them around here. There was someone a few months ago who was clearly fake, and then got banned. There’s everyone’s favorite “Karl Spensen” who’s openly a fake.

    It’s a really annoying tactic, which simply reeks of desperation. Like the old saying goes, if your ideas are really that good, why do you need to spend your time belittling the other guy?

  • paulmdoro

    At this point whether or not AC is a real or fake conservative is irrelevant. His comments should be condemned by everyone here.

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    stoogedudes says:
    “This goes for liberals saying similar thing about Republican presidents. It’s not acceptable anywhere, at anytime. Liberals who do things like AC should be banned too from here.”

    It’s amazing how people are so quick to silence an individual free man/woman. I have limited respect for the Presidency, regardless of liberal or neocon. What I respect is the individual private citizen, who holds almost no power. As individuals in this country, it is us – the people who matter, not some politicians bent on ensuring his own survival. It is the individual, and his/her liberty which everyone should be concerned about.

  • paulmdoro

    Banning is not up to me, but when heated yet respectful discussions are continuously interrupted with the same old name-calling and insults, it really takes all the fun out of posting here. AC takes name-calling and insults to an entirely new level. I just wonder why someone like that even bothers. I guess some people enjoy antagonizing and bullying the way others enjoy a good debate.

  • Grammie

    Liberty – Not Redistribution says:
    June 9, 2010 at 2:11 pm

    I agree with you completely while also condemning AC’s comment. It is completely unnecessary and shows disrespect to not only BHO but to his office as well.

    It is completely disruptive, which I suspect it was meant to be. Again, AC, I call on you to tone down your rhetoric.

    Now, for this:

    paulmdoro says:
    June 9, 2010 at 2:01 pm

    Right AC could never be a real conservative. Unthinkable.

    There is a commenter here who regularly used multiple screen names at another site and one of the foulest, most ignorant bigoted one was named Rudy Ramirez. Rudy frequently got into arguments with the sophisticated, intelligent well written Mrs Adrian R Philby, a college professor.

    Well, it was eventually exposed by the site owner that they were both the same commenter who currently comments here as TRRK. How many other loon de plumes does he use here, I wonder?

    BTW, I think that both sides play the same stupid games. I can think of a few lefties here that I think are some righties idea of what a lefty is.

  • Ination

    @Liberty – Not Redistributions

    I get your point and agree but what does that have to do with AC being banned from a website?

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    Fair point paulmdoro. if that’s the case, everyone should just ignore his comments, and don’t reply to his attempts to get a rise out of people. Whenever we see his posts, just skip over them. Eventually he will go away.

  • paulmdoro

    Oh the name-calling and insults come from both sides no doubt.

  • writer

    Grammie, it’s been going around that TRRK also uses the Glenn Bovine name. Is that one of his aliases?

  • paulmdoro

    I think that’s a good idea LNR. I share some blame here because I respond to AC even when I know I shouldn’t. He probably considers that a win.

  • The Real Royal King

    So, I take it Janet, Michelle and Righter have no problems with the threats made here today by AmericanCowboy?

  • lanquihue

    Colby: “…asked if it’s now acceptable to say that “we’re going to send someone up to kick Obama’s “bleep.” No, Sean, its not. He’s the President.”

    Then maybe he should start acting like an American president instead of the Prom King. It’s really easy to read a bunch of useless crap to an audience, it’s yet another to respond to a crisis. Obama the community organizer has shown time and time again that he wasn’t ready for prime time, and this oil leak is the biggest example yet. No one expects him to take a mini sub down there and fix it, as his apologists are trying to make this out to be. But it would be nice to know that someone is in charge, and he clearly isn’t.

    When he was a punk rabble rouser, all he had to do was to get people pissed off at whitey, he didn’t need actual solutions, and his glaring lack of any executive experience whatsoever is magnified more and more every day.

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    Ination,

    My personal opinion, is that the site is better if comments, and those that make them, were not banned. However, mediaite, as a private company, has the right to ban and censor whomever they want to. I just feel that it takes away from the experience and free exchange of ideas. I usually just ignore the rabid posters.

  • writer

    Wrong again, King. Threats are out of line. Just like when you post under your Bovine alias.

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    lanquihue,
    You kinda have a point. When the President was just a young community organizer, he did try to entice confrontation. Even as a presidential candidate, he told his followers to “get in their face” when confronting those with opposing ideas.

  • paulmdoro

    Pissed off at whitey? What astute analysis.

  • http://thedailybarb.com Burnnotice

    Name calling comes with the territory. I say bring it on. To Incite violence against anyone here or especially the President is way over the line. Be it a poster here on this site or a A Little dwarf commutator…

  • Ination

    @LNR

    While I agree, I also feel there’s a difference between people having opinions and just being a**holes.

  • DonnaK

    This is just another example of Hannity trying to get publicity for himself. He seems to be slipping behind at Fox, and will do anything to get attention for himself. He will never say a decent word about The President, and he is a disgrace to the country. Someone with such a large head, you would think he would have something rattling around in their beside hatred.

  • stoogedudes

    Sorry LNR, but threats against the President or even joking about it usually warrants a visit from the Secret Service, if anything else.

    This is a website run by a private company. This company has the right to ban people who violate any terms or who they deem to go too far in message boards. AC can spew this garbage all he wants, but Mediaite and all affiliated with it can ban whoever they deem too vitriolic, including those who say things like AC just did.

    Please tell me you don’t condone this kind of language by anyone, towards any President.

  • The Real Royal King

    Wrong again, King. Threats are out of line. Just like when you post under your Bovine alias.

    Except, of course, I don’t. That is INB’s particular delusion, and I am sure from INB’s time at the Koldy’s PHOX Phan Klub, that he knows just who Bovine is.

    For what it is, I found the tone and tenor of Bovine’s remarks offensive.

    But, we divert. I am as pleased to see your denunciation of AmericanCowboy’s remarks as I am disappointed by Michelle and Janet’s acceptance of them. That shows a sensitivity to such vile language and conduct that makes me think far more highly of you. Thank you for that post.

  • paulmdoro

    Here is how my father-in-law, who watched Fox News every night, characterizes the lineup. He says Beck is the entertaining clown, O’Reilly is the serious one, and Hannity is the partisan one.

  • Ination

    @RoyalKING

    Do you see why you don’t get any traction with the people you oppose? You have no idea who Michelle and Janet are yet you assume you know their position (they might not sit at a computer screen all day and post on Mediate, for example). You’re doing exactly what you accuse them of doing!

  • Grammie

    Actually, Writer, I don’t think that Bovine and TRRK are the same person. I have had the real displeasure of being exposed to both of them under both of their myriad incarnations and I think they are different people.

    However, I do think it is highly likely that they are at least net friends/acquaintances and do seem to pop up together. I have some net friends like that and it seems quite reasonable to me.

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    stoogedudes says:
    I specifically said i this thread that “mediaite, as a private company, has the right to ban and censor whomever they want to.” I just offered my opinion that I don’t agree with banning/censoring because it suppresses the free exchange of ideas. Threats against the president are investigated by the USSS, but that is to ensure that the threat is not realistic or if the individual is actually operational. A threat, and name calling are two different things. If an individual wants to call Bush or President Obama a criminal or liar….so what. That’s their opinion, and as free individuals they have that right.

  • The Real Royal King

    I think that is a good characterization, and Hannity is certainly a pure partisan. He is honest about it, and his personality is not disagreeable.

    O’Reilly is, indeed, far more serious and far less partisan. I often, but not always, find O’Reilly unpleasant.

    Beck is not really worth no more mention than Uncle Charlie on “My Three Sons”.

  • paulmdoro

    Actually the people not commenting on AC are probably just smart enough to ignore him.

Someone with such a large head, you would think he would have something rattling around in their beside hatred.

    More hypocrisy from DonnaK. I’m still waiting for you to tell me what you liked about Bush enough to vote for him. And then what he did, that turned you off, drove you to Obama and made you an obama lover. Please enlighten me. Unless of course, you never did vote for Bush and like to pretend you were a former bush fan so that we will all think you are a resonible independent and not what you appear to be, an obama kool-aid drinker.

  • paulmdoro

    I know people who voted for Bush (in come cases twice) and then voted for Obama. Also, if you criticize Hannity or Fox, how does it automatically make you “an Obama kool-aid drinker”? I’m curious.

  • MichelleF

    I know Writer, but I had to try again. I just like to point out how he refuses to condemn some, while condemning other. You know, kind of how DonnaK is offended by how the right dares to criticize obama and won’t give him a chance like she, a former bush lover (yeah right) is doing. Forget the fact that she drips with hatred everytime she talks about palin.

  • MichelleF

    Paul, I also know people that voted for Bush and then Obama. However, I can’t say I know of one that doesn’t thoroughly regret it. If DonnaK could only point out what she liked about Bush, what he did to turn her off and how Obama is different, I might believe it. She won’t, so that leads me to believe she isn’t actually the centrist she claims to be. I’m not saying you can’t be, I just hate it when people can’t be honest about what they believe.

  • paulmdoro

    That’s funny because I don’t know one who isn’t pleased with their decision. Sure dishonesty is a very unpleasant trait.

    Also, if you criticize Hannity or Fox, how does it automatically make you “an Obama kool-aid drinker”? I’m curious.

  • Grammie

    Oh TRRKie, TRRKie.

    Do illuminate for us all exactly what it is about “condemn” that you don’t understand.

    After all you rushed to criticize me more than once for supposedly approving of AC’s statement. Why so uncharacteristically silent now?

  • MichelleF

    Also, if you criticize Hannity or Fox, how does it automatically make you “an Obama kool-aid drinker”? I’m curious.

    Did I say that? I must have missed that part.

  • paulmdoro

    “not what you appear to be, an obama kool-aid drinker.”

    That is what you said.

  • DonnaK

    MichelleF–Idiots like you just repeat themselves over and over. As you say repeatedly, I did vote for George Bush–twice. I even gave him the benefit of the doubt the second time around. He did some good things in the beginning, but I was running a small business at the time, and his economy really hurt my business, and as the war took it’s tole, I lost confidence in him. I can say though, that I never disrespected him as President, like some of you fools disrespect President Obama. If I vote for someone I stick with them, and change when the time comes. MichelleF is one of the most hateful posters on here, and has the gall to question other posters motives–I say to you get a life, and support your country instead of being so hate filled.

  • Ination

    @paul

    She wasn’t responding to DonnaK’s post but rather her person.

  • paulmdoro

    Let’s not call each other idiots. It’s just not necessary.

  • paulmdoro

    Ination that’s fine but I see that all the time. Saying something negative about Bush or Fox or Beck or Hannity instantly makes someone “an Obama kool-aid drinker,” which is ludicrous and obtuse.

  • Ination

    @paul – for a second there, I thought we were all making progress today but I should have known better.

  • Ination

    Yeah I know – people like to generalize other people in absolutely insane ways. It is what has always divided us all.

  • MichelleF

    I didn’t say she was a kool-aid drinker because she criticized Fox or Hannity. I know I ride Donna a little hard, but there is a reason. A while back, she was furious that people would dare to criticize Obama and not even give him a chance. She hated all of the “hatred” spewed at him. It was highly offensive to her, a former Bush supporter. Yet every time I see a comment from her, it is filled with hate for, usually palin, but in this case it’s hannity. I just hate the hypocrisy of those that think it’s ok to HATE palin, but don’t you dare criticize Obama. And before you say it, I in not way hate Obama, I loathe his policies and what I think he is doing to this country. I also loathe that any criticism of him is branded as racist.

  • MichelleF

    Donna, you calling me hateful is really rich.

  • paulmdoro

    And you guys have been posting here longer than I have, so I am not familiar with a lot of what you describe Michelle. I know Ination it is really unfortunate when name-calling is used. Very distasteful.

    Which of Bush’s economic polices ruined your business and how has Obama’s economic plan helped you.

  • The Real Royal King

    I want to sincerely thank Michelle and Janet for their condemnations of AmericanCowboy’s threat, and I want to apologize to you, Janet, for not realizing you had already done so.

    We don’t have a local Secret Service Office, but I did alert DHS to the threat made by AmericanCowboy. I’m not at all certain that much comes of this, but I did think a record ought to be made.

  • DonnaK

    MichelleF–I don’t feel the need to respond to your questions, you have a totally different outlook on life and politics than I do, and you seem like a very closed, and narrowminded individual. If I thought there was any common ground with someone such as yourself, I would try to have a conversation, it’s not going to happen. Have a nice day.

  • MichelleF

    See Donna, I’m trying to have a debate with you about policy and you won’t. Who does that make closed-minded? I’m seriously curious how Obama’s polices on business have helped you, because from where I’m sitting, he is the most anti-business pres I can recall, but I could be missing something.

    LNR,

    When I posted my last post, something came to my attention and I didn’t get a chance to see your comment where you acknowledge that Mediaite is free, as a company, to ban commenters from posting.

    Anyway, back to AC (even though it seems this is going by the wayside)…
    I would normally agree to just ignore AC and his exhaustingly stupid comments (I admit, I have posted comments to him before and I’ve likely been enabling him), but when AC writes something like this, it can’t be ignored.

    There. I’ve put in my 2 cents on this subject.

  • Grammie

    As I said, Michelle, TRRK never fails to disappoint!

    Considering my extremely low expectation with him that is no mean feat.

  • Bootleghaircut

    WHY DOES SEAN HANNITY SUCK SO BAD? JUST ASKIN

  • The Real Royal King

    Michelle, get over yourself and stop the topic diversion. Who is it you want me to hate today? Farrakhan, Pfleger and Wright? And you want me to hate them because you hate them because you believe them to be racists? Does that cover it? I’ll disappoint you because I don’t hate any of these men. I met Farrakhan once, in passing, and I know Pfleger from a literacy campaign he ran. I have never met Wright. All of these men have made statements, statements which may well indicate beliefs which they hold that are offensive, indeed an anathema. Some of these statement indicate a latent and not so latent racism that is highly objectionable. Racism is always objectionable. In all its forms, by anyone. False claims of reverse discrimination are similarly objectionable and offensive.

    Is that satisfactory? Is there anything I need to add.

    Now, may we mention that the main issue here is that a poster made a very specific threat against our President? That seems a far more important issue than this rehashed and tepid grudge because of a lost election. Don’t you agree.

  • Sunnyr

    The incompetent doofus is going to get his Ass kicked, BIG TIME, in 2012. Hopefully, we can IMPEACH and FLUSH after the new congress is seated in 2011! He has to GO, the sooner the better.

  • paulmdoro

    Impeach? Good luck with that.

  • The Real Royal King

    Do you have any Constitutional grounds, Sunnyr? Would you specify? You do know not losing an election is not a Constitutional ground?

  • MichelleF

    King,
    I don’t believe I said anything about hating them. You ask us to condemn someones words, yet you refuse to condemn those of farahkan, wright, sharpton, and other racists. You’re very inconsistent with what offends you.

  • paulmdoro

    We’re all guilty of being inconsistent with what offends us.

  • MichelleF

    That seems a far more important issue than this rehashed and tepid grudge because of a lost election.

    I don’t believe I said anything at all about the election.

  • The Real Royal King

    Sorry, I forgot to include Sharpton, Michelle. Same thing I said about Farrakhan, Pfleger and Wright applies to Sharpton. Kool?

    Now, you are telling me that a tangible threat made on the life of our President falls into the same category as anything these men you so despise have said? Is that what you are saying, Michelle? You are making that moral and legal equivalency? If I am wrong, please tell me.

  • TfT

    Of course it’s OK. Obama is the manchild…..”acted stupidly” (without the facts), “whose ass to kick” was a stupid, unpresidential comment. If Olbermann and crew on MSNBC can spew their hatred for Bush “Shut the Hell Up Mr. President” is a-ok, then so it “we are going to kick Obama’s bleep”. You can’t have one standard for liberals and another for conservatives. Either it’s all bad, or it’s all OK. Given the way the media has treated Bush/Cheney/Palin/all conservatives with trash talking, then it is OK to continue that pattern with Obama/Biden/Clinton/all liberals.

    How about this King, until you can repudiate those racist, haters on the left, don’t worry about asking me to condemn those on the right. I wasn’t making any moral equivalency, and I think you know that.

    @TfT

    Aside from the petty name calling, I agree that there should not be a double standard. But just because someone else does it, doesn’t make it okay for you to do it.

    @Royal / MichelleF

    How long have you guys been going at it on here? I’ve only been here for a month but it seems that you two have been fighting for much longer than that.

  • MichelleF

    Ination,
    For a while, we called a truce and were respectful. I, however, got sick of having to pretend I didn’t hear his backhanded comments regarding my religion and his racist comments to anyone who didn’t agree with him. He’s also called me uncaring, selfish, wish death to others, ect. You know the drill. So, unfortuantely, the truce ended.

    Go into a cracker bar and say your going to put your foot on their neck, you’re going to kick their ass, and you’re bringing knife. Go ahead. Do it now.

  • Ination

    MichelleF,

    Yeah, that’d be a good reason to break a truce but I don’t know the facts so I’ll have withhold my judgment on that (not implying that I think you’re lying – I just don’t want to have a “acted stupidly” moment). Oh wellll.

  • TfT

    Ination: This is a media blog; the media is saying it’s not ok to “kick his ass” if we are talking about Obama but the media was just fine in kicking Bush’s ass day in and day out. It’s not a question of if they did it we can do it too. Its a question of the media, by the media…..and if this site didn’t condemn Olbermann they can’t come online and condemn Hannity. Well, they did condemn Hannity while giving Olbermann a pass. Typical left wing double standard. That’s all.

  • MichelleF

    Understood ination. I wouldn’t expect you to just take my word for it.

  • Ination

    TfT: Mediate does cover the ridiculous things that KO says (check the related-links section above these posts). While I don’t have a statistical breakdown for you on which they cover more, I’d venture to say that they are relatively equal.

  • Ination

    …but I could be very wrong.

    ” No, Sean, its not. He’s the President.”

    And that is why Obama should not use the A word.

    Btw., why hasn’t anyone issued a prize for the one coming up with a viable idea to stop the oil leak?

  • Newsjunky

    Hannity is a pussy. Obama and nearly everyone else could kick his fat ass. Hannity, take your fat, round face and plug the oil leak for me, would ya?

    So many morons, so little time.

    Let’s start with the really big ones. KKKlownnity, as he is the biggest gNOpig hypocrite and drama queen.
    Short and sweet, KKKlownnitty, go Dick Cheney yourself.

    Next, IGotNoBalls.
    I told you dumbsht, I am NOT the Real Royal King and I am NOT Robert Stephenson. Just like KKKlownnity, go Dick Cheney yourself and your hypocrisy for whining about Jeffy Bovine.

    I am NOT going to stop riding Jeffy Bovine’s dumb arse UNTIL he stops his racist and bigoted comments. HE KNOWS THAT. I TOLD HIM. I gave him hundreds of warnings.
    He has said then Senator Obama should had been waterboarded. He has made other racist and bigoted comments against Blacks, Mexicans, persons of Middle East ancestry, and Muslims. Jeffy toned down his comments AFTER Barack Hussein Obama became President, but once in a while his vile racist character shows.

    My comment about using “lighter fluid on his cows” was in response about his supposed joking about President Obama being hung and burned in effigy by some imbecile teabaggers in a bar.
    Got it you MORON IGotNOBalls? HUNG, just like that POS un-American Cowdung said. And BURNED like, oh, like the PsOS who used to hang and burn BLACKS.

    IGotNoBalls, let’s see if you are still willing to defend the racist and bigot Jeffy Bovine.

    Last, Hagzilla.
    You DO know who TRRK and AAP are. Two separate individuals. And you DO know who Jeff Merrill (Jeffy Bovine) is. A coward and a paranoid moron.
    It seems like whatever afflicts Jeffy Bovine has infected the Koldys Klown Klub, so eventually they start showing the same paranoid hallucinations. Just like I told you, BU$HWIPES.

    So here it goes. I do NOT know who TRRK is. I do NOT have any contact whatsoever with him, other than occasional posts in the same thread. GOT THAT?
    Even if that were not the case, what do you care?
    Don’t you morons hang out at Crapper 2 to gossip about what so and so is doing over at there and there?
    Retardo Chimeri whines about the LBRUL TROLLS at Mediaite.
    The dumb Phuck30 does the same.
    IGotNoBalls and Arsehley the she-male wet their panties while holding hands.
    Even the hypocrite Billdo wanna-be, Mark Koldys, joins in the bitchin and moaning as if it were “CABLE NEWS”

    Could you Koldys Klowns Klub members please stay OVER THERE?

  • Grammie

    Thanks Patsy!

    Shakespeare’s line “Me thinks thou dost protest too much” comes to mind.

    Man King, you need to off load a ton of that ego your carryin around. I read what American Cowboy wrote and unless I missed a post somewhere in all this garbage, I saw no threat to anyone. Its somewhat telling that you have glued yourself to this idea and cant seem to get over yourself.

    And those of you who claim Obama is the President and is beyond reach of coments such as have been made in his direction, I will remind you of two things, 1- you feel this way only because he is a Liberal. 2- If this were Bush, every one of you whiners would be jumping all over Bush and agreeing with the comment. One thing is clear, the second Obama made that comment, he became open to any and all such comments. It was his choice to say what he did, 1st Amendment you know, and now its everyones choice to respond in kind, 1st Amendment you know. Yes Of course I know, the 1st Amendment is only applicable when Liberals want it to apply.

    Knowing full well you dont need any advice King, you know it all, I will however give you some for nothing, You are not stupid, so why do stupid things, why say stupid things, Grow up and recognize one thing, we try to be fair as much as we can, but that means it must be fair for everyone… You nor Obama get no special privileges in a place like this. That means, we will treat you and Obama just as you all treated Bush, fair enough???
