Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 I don't get all the attention on the "flub". Stuff happens. I guess it's OK if that was worst thing to happen during the inauguration. Did Bush actually get booed? I was actually listening on the radio on the way to work and it sounded like he at least got polite applause when he was announced.

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 Well, that didn't take long. Choice quote: “It’s really nothing personal about the man. He speaks well … But I know it’s for the country’s own good that I do this,” Christopher reportedly wrote. “It’s not because I’m racist that I will kill Barack, it’s because I can no longer allow the Jewish parasites to bully their way into making the American people submit to their evil ways.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 Also that great American Rush Limbaugh is openly hoping for the President's failure. I see no redeeming qualities in the people the right look to. It's only because he loves this country so. It has to be destroyed to save it (like Korea), so let's root for the failure of our new president in a time of extraordinary national distress on multiple fronts.
