An open letter
to the people who hate Obama
more than they love America    

January 2012--I meet you all the time.

You hate Obama.

You hate gay people.

You hate black people, immigrants, Muslims, labor unions, women who want the right to make choices concerning their bodies, you hate ’em all!

You hate being called racist.

You hate being called a bigot.

Maybe if you talked about creating jobs more than you talk about why you hate gay people we wouldn't call you bigots.

Maybe if you talked about black people without automatically assuming they are on food stamps while demanding their birth certificates we wouldn't call you racist.

You hate socialism and social justice.

You hate regulations and taxes and spending and the Government.

You hate.

You like war.

You like torture.

You like Jesus.

I don't know how in the hell any of that is compatible, but no one ever accused you haters of being over-committed to ideological consistency.

You like people who look like you or at least hate most of the things that you hate.

You hate everything else.

Now, I know you profess to love our country and the founding fathers (unless you are reminded that they believed in the separation of church and state), but I need to remind you that America is NOT what Fox News says it is.

America is a melting pot, it always has been.

We are a multi-cultural amalgamation of all kinds of people, and yet you still demonize everyone who is not a rich, white, heterosexual christian male or his submissive and obedient wife.

You hate liberals, moderates, hell, anyone who disagrees with Conservative dogma as espoused by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

You hate ’em.

Well, here are the facts, Jack.

If you hate the Government, then you are unqualified to manage it.

If you hate gay people more than you love America, then you should take your own advice and get the hell out.

There are several countries that are openly hostile to gay people, but they are full of brown people and you don't like them much either from what I understand.

It looks like you are screwed, but that's not what I am here to tell you.

Now that you’ve thrown everything and the kitchen sink at President Obama, it just hasn't worked out!

You’re panicking.

Obama's approval ratings are still near 50% despite your best efforts to undermine the economy and America's recovery at every turn.

You tried to hold the American economy hostage by forcing America into default on its' debts.

Debts that YOU rang up under Bush!

Blame it on Obama; but you failed.

You've used the filibuster more than any other Congress ever, going so far as to vote against providing health care access to 9/11 first responders.

You remember 9/11, don't you?

It's that thing you used to lie us into a war in Iraq.

When Obama killed Bin Laden and ended the war in Iraq you told people that he (President Obama hates America and wants the troops to fail.

You monsters!

You hate the President with a passion, despite the fact that he is a tax-cutting, deficit-reducing war President who undermines civil rights and delivers corporate friendly,  watered down reforms that benefit special interests just like a Republican.

You call him a Kenyan.

You call him a socialist.

You dance with your hatred, singing it proudly in the rain like a 1950's musical.

Frankly, you disgust me.

Your hatred nauseates me.

Your bigotry offends me.

Your racism revolts me.

Taken from Daily Kos.

Let me see if I’ve got this straight...so you embraced Bush even though he was a fuckin’ moron and embarrassed this country with his stunning ignorance. He is one of you and whatever he did was just fine and dandy. But, Obama, decidedly brighter and better educated than Bush, just doesn’t cut it for you. He’s simply the wrong color and it irks the hell out of you to stand when this President enters the room.

Well isn’t that just TFB!
