		<description>#34 &lt;blockquote cite=&quot;34&quot;&gt;I dont recall anyone comparing Obama to Hitler&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Hitler made lousy paintings. Obama wrote lousy poetry. They both wrote books about their obsession with race.

I pray that those are all the comparisons that will ever need to be made.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Thereâ€™s the promise of repealing DOMA, DADT for gays&lt;/blockquote&gt;

One would think that if he actually gave a damn about it, he would have lifted a finger to craft legislation a long time ago. Guess it&#039;s not as rewarding as Rosa Parks postage stamps.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Look at America. African-Americans and Native Americans were treated horribly for generations. Slavery. Genocide.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And who was responsible for that? Oh yeah. The party of slavery, the Klan, segregation, Jim Crowe etc.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Yesterday, Barack Obama became the first president-elect to recognize gay Americans in his acceptance speech. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I get it. You&#039;re &quot;thing&quot; is to have smoke blown up your ass. TMI. Comrade Obama will be seen with gays or be interviewed by the gay media any time now, right? Any minute now....</description>

		<description>Reagan, shredded by the left, then and now, Ford, shredded by the left, then and even in his death, Nixon shredded by the left, then and now. And I could go on. 

Carter was shredded because he gave us double digit unemployment, double digit inflation, and double digit interest rates. He gave us the Mullahs in Iran, the expansion of the Soviet Union, and a hostage crisis that lasted well over a year. And I could go on.

But NEVER did anyone on the right call for his assasination, call him Hitler, a Nazi, or any of the bile the left has heaped on President Bush. Even a Democrat admitted as much in an Op Ed in the WSJ today. 

Hillary and her husband are among the most corrupt politicians in US history, her husbands presidency riddled by scandal from corrupt land dealings that landed over a dozen people in jail including a sitting Governor. Hillary fired the entire nonpartisan WH travel office to hire her cronies, she was found with both FBI files and Rose Hill law firm records in her possession illegally, she has been convicted on numeroud accounts of illegal campaign shennanigans and I could go on and on...

But never has anyone called for her assassination, burned her in effigy, compared her to Hitler or any of the bile leftists regurgitate on a daily basis, accused her of trying to pass her daughters children off as her own, and I could go on and on.

Vitriol does NOT go both ways anywhere even close to evenly. The DEMOCRAT party of YOUR hallucinations is nowhere near close to the one that exists in reality, and nowhere near close to as responsible and grown up as the Republican party.

Both sides are not guilty anywhere even close to the same degree and no amount of your denial will change that.</description>

		<description>&quot;a difference that doesnâ€™t matter to him.&quot;

Until you want to get married, or join the Armed Forces or adopt a child, then it matters very much

#34 Precedent?  Carter - shredded by the right, then and now.  Clinton - shredded by the right, then and now.  Hillary, shredded by the right, then and now.  I could go on and on...  The Republican party that exists in your hallucinations is NOT the one that exists in reality.  Vitriol has gone both ways, both side are guilty and all your denial will not change that.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Yesterday, Barack Obama became the first president-elect to recognize gay Americans in his acceptance speech. Would John McCain have done so?&lt;/i&gt;

No Blake, he wouldn&#039;t have. Yes, he has openly gay staff members and yes he has publicly supported friends and colleagues who have come out as gay and yes, we have heard from his gay friends that coming out to him did not change their relationships one iota, but, since he treats people as people, not on the basis of their sexuality, I seriously doubt that he would have used his speech to point out a difference that doesn&#039;t matter to him.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Seriously, using Keith Olberaman to excuse your actions speaks a great deal about your lack of belief in personal responsibility and integrity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I notice you didnt mention how he also referred to the Democrat Majority Leader, Harry Reid. When actually, he could have named ANY of the leaders of your party. &lt;blockquote&gt;What a classy way to greet a new president! &lt;/blockquote&gt;Glad to see you admit how utterly devoid of class your party is.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Youâ€™ve spoken about the terrible vitriol of the gay left but are more than willing to be even nastier in your rhetoric.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I dont recall anyone comparing Obama to Hitler or writing books, plays or making movies about his assasination, or coming anywhere near a fraction of the vitriol the gay left has spewed for 8 years. &lt;blockquote&gt;Because you think Bush received poor treatment, you think itâ€™s okay to treat Obama badly. &lt;/blockquote&gt;Its called precedent Blake. You made your bed, now lie in it.</description>

		<description>RE: &quot;Now I see this site shrinking, containing just a few comments in most threads. It seems those shrieking loudest in this site have turned off so many others, that itâ€™s just the same eight or ten commenters posting their shrill partisan opinions. The system operator failed to uphold his own rules and thus turned off the moderates and liberals and now this site is smaller than ever.&quot;

I just want to acknowledge that the site will not be shrinking any longer. I contacted Mr. Blatt to thank him for his article which appeared in The Washington Blade in September 2008.  Thankfully I searched his name on Google and found this awesome site. I chimed in for the first time last night and made an online donation. I highly encourage others to do the same.  I am greatly encouraged to be amongst some like-minded people.  Thank you Mr. Blatt and Mr. Carroll for all of your hard work.

Sincerely,

Steve Grimsley

		<description>&quot;The FAR LEFT will â€œturn onâ€ Obama as soon as he doesnâ€™t tow their agenda line.&quot;

The far left abandoned him as soon as he started changing his rhetoric about Iraq and advocating more troops in other countries.  I don&#039;t doubt that they voted for him anyway but it would have been only to keep McCain/Palin from winning.  It really is only the right that keeps calling him &quot;The One&quot;, &quot;The Messiah&quot; and other terms based mostly on their misunderstanding and hallucinations about those of us who support him.</description>

		<description>NDT --- High-larious.

You see folks, &quot;national unity&quot; for Democrats is only applicable when they win.  Otherwise, *we* are &quot;meanspirited.&quot;  

They attack innocent girls, babies and women -- and they are the Party of Tolerance.   We raise questions about Obama and *we* are racists.

Obama will not be different.  Same old, same old.  I&#039;m just glad I figured it out early on.</description>

		<description>#15: Some of us just don&#039;t make comments too often. That doesn&#039;t mean we aren&#039;t here, reading the posts. Yesterday doesn&#039;t change how I feel about personal responsibility, more limited government and freer markets. And I wouldn&#039;t speak too soon about a second term. (&quot;You&#039;re in the minority for the next decade.&quot;) Things can go south quickly. Just ask Jimmy Carter.</description>

		<description>So many of the comments here are about vengeance.  Because you think Bush received poor treatment, you think it&#039;s okay to treat Obama badly.  

Didn&#039;t Bill and Hillary Clinton experience 20 years of disrespect from the Right?  What about the Arkansas Project?  What about Vince Foster? 

But the real question is whether or not you believe that you are individuals with individual control over your actions.  What responsibility do you take for your own words?  Do you continue the cycle?

Some of you are Christians?  If you believe that your side was wronged, as Christians, does it make sense for you to act in the same way you claim that your enemies mistreated you?

Dismiss religion.  Look at America.  African-Americans and Native Americans were treated horribly for generations.  Slavery.  Genocide.  But don&#039;t you as conservatives tell them that they should let go of past wrong doings and concentrate on today?  

As for ending DADT in the first 100 Days, that would be nice but so what if it doesn&#039;t happen?  That&#039;s an artificial marker you put in place.  Given the hatred shown by the Republican base to win bans on gay marriage, might Obama think it best to hold off on major gay civil rights legislation until later in the year so as not to give the Republican bigots a weapon to use against him?  

I guess the question I have for you is what makes you better than your enemies?  Do you forgive and try to act better or do you continue the cycle of hate?  

The Serbs and Croats have managed to hate each other for hundreds of years.  Is that the cycle you want plan to follow?  It seems so.

P.S.

Yesterday, Barack Obama became the first president-elect to recognize gay Americans in his acceptance speech.  Would John McCain have done so?</description>

<p>Dismiss religion.  Look at America.  African-Americans and Native Americans were treated horribly for generations.  Slavery.  Genocide.  But don&#8217;t you as conservatives tell them that they should let go of past wrong doings and concentrate on today?  </p>
<p>As for ending DADT in the first 100 Days, that would be nice but so what if it doesn&#8217;t happen?  That&#8217;s an artificial marker you put in place.  Given the hatred shown by the Republican base to win bans on gay marriage, might Obama think it best to hold off on major gay civil rights legislation until later in the year so as not to give the Republican bigots a weapon to use against him?  </p>
<p>I guess the question I have for you is what makes you better than your enemies?  Do you forgive and try to act better or do you continue the cycle of hate?  </p>
<p>The Serbs and Croats have managed to hate each other for hundreds of years.  Is that the cycle you want plan to follow?  It seems so.</p>
<p>P.S.</p>
<p>Yesterday, Barack Obama became the first president-elect to recognize gay Americans in his acceptance speech.  Would John McCain have done so?</p>

		<description>What a classy way to greet a new president!  Seriously, using Keith Olberaman to excuse your actions speaks a great deal about your lack of belief in personal responsibility and integrity.  Because someone else acts one way should not give you license to act equally as bad.  But what should one expect?  You&#039;ve spoken about the terrible vitriol of the gay left but are more than willing to be even nastier in your rhetoric.

You&#039;ve lost all rights to any claim on any kind of moral high ground.</description>

		<description>GP, well played; in the very first comment, you got Kevin to admit that his heroes Harry Reid and Keith Olbermann are partisan and nasty.

Not that Kevin cares. He&#039;s still under the delusion that the Messiah is going to pay his mortgage and fill his gas tank, just like the Messiah promised.</description>

		<description>#23: &quot;Otherwise we know the Dems are just a bunch of liars.&quot;

We will know that regardless of whether DADT is rescinded.</description>
