Enemies of the State

What a circus. The mainstream media as usual went way overboard on the event and its significance. Also the right wing talk show hosts were ridculous in their crowing about Obama's failure and its implications thus in my opinion casting themselves a very negative light. The only lesson to be learned here is that the whole world may love Obama but at the end of the day it may get him a few style points but the members of the world community are going to act in what they feel is in their best interest(good or bad).

Enemies of the State, what a load of nonsense. Enemy of the city is even a stretch. The people in Chicago only wanted the Olympics by a slight margin 47 to 45 margin.

If there is nothing to complain about, maybe you could blog about the weather. Or maybe you could blog about construction. You seem to be an expert at making mountains out of mole hills.

The 20-30% of America that follow rush and beck are quickly becoming politically irrelevent. The only problem with that is, once they realize their impotence, they will lash out violently against those they feel have defiled America. In their ignorance, and arrogance, they will try to destroy America to save it. And the idiots at faux noise are more than happy to lead the way.

angry..yep

bzzzp…yeah, maybe I could blog about construction. But molehills are not my expertise, that's the TeaBaggers….bag.

New Franklin….I'm afraid you are correct. Thanks for the comment.

I do enjoy the Sunday morning funnies. The one embarrasses himself and his office by bowing and kissing the ring of an openly corrupt organization like the IOC and it's conservatives that have a problem with a, "smart, articulate president"? What is smart or articulate about giving a very crappy presentation? If he was smart he would have sent more hookers and cash because that's the only way the IOC responds favorably to anything. If he was smart he would have stayed out. Instead he staked his reputation on it and LOST. Miserably I might add.

I can't believe you wanted Chicago to win this bid. As a "liberal" who doesn't like big business I would thing you would be opposed to the city going into massive debt to host a giant corporate sporting event that could only possibly create temporary jobs.

The Reverend is racist by wanting a predominantly white country like America to get the Olympics over our brown-skinned southern neighbors. I'm so tired of the Rev's "American exceptionalist" attitude. Stop the imperialist oppression ! Support Rio !

Excuse me? Where did I say I wanted the Olympics to be held in the U.S? I could care less.

Those who would stand everything on it's head to avoid the obvious are doing the same here.

I wonder why ANY world city would want to host the games if what Roy says is correct. If Roy is correct, then shouldn't world representatives be lobbying to NOT host the games? What an ironic world some conservatives must live in.

Where's the immaculately-conceived Mittster when you need him, huh?

Of much more importance is Obama's success with Iran/U.S. diplomatic talks…..but the media-whores have no interest in serious matters like that. And conservatives who root now against America would only recognize true world leadership as a sign of weakness. Crazy times.

Extra laughs over this…."Instead he staked his reputation on it and LOST. Miserably I might add."

Now that's some funny Sunday stuff.

Doesn't it ever creep you out when you rail against free speech and label folks "enemy of the state," Reverend? Or are you too far gone?

Who watches the Olympics? Boring. Just a big waste of money. Chicago is a terrible example of our country for others to see. I too, am glad they lost it.

larry,
Especially when the Rev uses the "enemy of the state" label in regards to the Olympics. That's real far gone.

Rev,
If you think the Iran situation is more important (and it is), perhaps that's what you should be posting about, instead of what Glenn Beck thinks about the Olympics. Just a suggestion.

And the media isn't ignoring the Iran situation either. That and Afghanistan have been the top subjects on the news lately. Add one more falsehood to your long list.

No, larry, it doesn't. Creep me out, that is. The new conservative fundamentalists in America are proving with each passing month that they are indeed, enemies of the state. Cheering for a new president to fail, cheering when America loses….next will come the cheering when something catastrophic happens. Fox nuts have already said the only thing that can save the country is another al-Qaeda strike inside the U.S.

So, spare me the faux-outrage.

Straightoutta joins Rush and Glenn-boy…..he's glad America lost all those Olympic jobs.

King….yes, Iran is being talked about by the Villagers. But listen to the thrust of their "reporting." It's all about when to attack so-called secret nuclear facilities, how soon, what to attack with, etc. There's no honest accounting of what Obama's team has already accomplished in one day of adult diplomatic talks. It's no different from the run-up to Iraq. America is a warmongering nation and our media is a warmongering media.

I didn't present any outrage, Reverend. No one lost out on the Olympics except for the corrupt Chicago machine that would have benefited from skimming contracts and such. I'm sure Obama's hearing it from them.

Maybe I overstated your response, larry. I'm not railing against free speech. I'm simply pointing out totally irresponsible speech….the kind of speech that would have got you hung, or shot, during the Founder's days. Now, apparently, that kind of speech is acceptable mainstream fodder.

Furthermore, I want the nuts to keep it up….please. Please, exercise all the free irresponsible speeech that can be mustered. Every day that this protected, yet traitorous speech, continues….is but another nail in the coffin of that Grand Old Dead Party. Thank you Rush, Glenn, Sean, Bill-o, National Review, and Fox. Opportunistic pricks to the end.

One of your more pathetic posts, Rev. As a reader above points out, less than a majority of Chicagoans even wanted the Olympics.

Your head will explode in a fit of rage and frustration next November. A real backlash is brewing. Write that down. Your daily pronouncements are getting more ridiculous and foolish as Obama's sub-50 approval rating continues to drop and deficits continue to pile up (by the trillions) and jobs continue to vanish.

Rev says, "There's no honest accounting of what Obama's team has already accomplished in one day of adult diplomatic talks"

Au contraire. That has been covered extensively, though I haven't tuned into MSNBC for a week or so. Maybe they are busy putting down Rush and Beck instead, as you are.

I also hate to break it to you Rev, but the Bush administration conducted negotiations with Iran too.

I also hate to break this to you, but our talks with Iran haven't made ANY progress yet. See my latest post.

Write this down…you lie.

The GOP will gain seats but not the majority.

Many conservatives want Obama to fail at everything…..even if America fails too. They weren't celebrating because Chicagoans didn't want the games…they were celebrating because Obama tried and lost. So did America.

Obama's approval ratings are at 56%, as of yesterday's polling….so you're wrong there too.

And…..the huge deficits and job losses began under Bush. That doesn't excuse Obama's performance….it puts it in perspective.

Yeah. Bush spent too much money we don't have. Obama's spending more.

And we had job losses under Bush (as we have under every president, you simpleton). We have more under Obama.

Perspective.

True, many conservatives want Obama to fail at everything. But then, many liberals wanted Bush to fail at everything. Perspective, again.

You really are a simple person. Incredibly simple.

I'm a simpleton? Maybe…..but you're the one who wrote that every president presides over job losses……not Clinton. So, there's that.

King often searches for equivalencies, like you do. Sounds plausible until one realizes that Bushes' tax cuts (enough to pay for a decade and a half of health care) were not vehemently opposed by Democrats…..many voted for it. All Democrats and most liberals supported Bush 100% after 9-11. So you are wildly off base. How are those GOP votes for Obama's agenda going?

If another attack (god forbid) happened under Obama (which some crazies want to happen) do you think Republicans and conservatives would stand behind the black president? I sure as hell don't. WorldNetDaily is calling for Obama's impeachment already.

The right, in their crazed state of mind, are dead wrong. Accept it.

Just so you know….I'm a very complex person, basically a contrarian who refuses to accept the, you know, simple, spoon-fed line from whore-media and corrupt politicians. Anyone who has read my material over time knows my take has proven to be the correct one more often than not. Not bragging, just sayin' it like it is. By all means, though…..feel free to call me whatever you would like.

Nobody ever lost a job when Bill Clinton was president? Every president presides over job losses. Let's play your game – there are about 4 million less jobs in this country than when Obama took office. It's very likely we'll have less jobs November 2012 than we did January 2009. Guess what Republicans will say? See how it works?

Simple. It's by reading this blog that I find out what Olbermann had to say last night. If you're so "complex," (congratulations?) why must you point out how "complex" you are?

Ha.

"complex" is a word that never occurred to me in connection with the Reverend.

Other words, however, like "illogical," "hyperpartisan," "hypocritical," "juvenile," "double standard," "biased," "fact-challenged," "anti-free speech," and "lacking self-awareness," along with many others, occur to me frequently as I read the Rev's posts. No offense intended.That's just usually what I'm thinking.

You lie called me a simpleton….you know, simple minded. I'm a lot of things, no doubt, but simple minded ain't one of them. So, that's why I included a brief glimpse into how my mind, you know, works. Contrary to popular conservative opinion, I happen to be very self-aware. Self-awareness, I realize, is not many conservatives' strong suit….or the personal attacks on me would not be so pronounced.

This is not personal for me….and though imperfect in carrying it out…..I try not to make conservative commenters, or King, the issue by endlessly calling them names. We are all just regular Americans without power…..though I fail at times….I, at least, try to save my ammunition for the powerful.

AND….A lot of things do not "occur" to King.
