This man was elected for the same reason O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder ...

[Obamarama]

That header is an excerpt from a LTTE in my local paper today. I knew it would grab your attention. I couldn't believe it when I read it. Actually, I could, because I know there are poor, ignorant fools who really believe such twisted notions. But that people would actually wear it on their sleeves for the whole damned world to see? Well, as the adage goes, that just about takes the cake. It's going to be along 4 to 8 years for this deluded sea hag:

His election is another gutless, tragic example of political correctness. This man was elected for the same reason O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder -- fear of being called politically incorrect and racist.

Character, values and a genuine love for our country apparently no longer matter to the masses of sheep who fell for this wolf in sheep's clothing.

For those of you who cast your uninformed, idealistic vote for this man -- be proud. Be very proud when your children and grandchildren are living in a country that has become a clone of Nazi Germany. And proudly remember you were instrumental in destroying the basic tenets of freedom, opportunity and personal responsibility our founding fathers believed in.

It is often said life is a bowl of cherries, but it is not. Life, and Obama's election, is a bowl of jalapenos -- tasty and enjoyable at first, but they will burn you in the end.

1. So many of them are so angry

They really thought they had the lock on power, and now that they realize it's not permanent, they're getting hysterical and insane.

[Obamarama]

2. GETTING hysterical and sane? I think they GOT there a long time ago...

It's just becoming more amplified.

[ShortnFiery]

5. "they're getting hysterical and insane"

with a side of barking at the moon MAD! :crazy:

[louis-t]

3. It's a sickness.

Sea Hag indeed.

[Orrex]

4. I can't even imagine where the Obama/Nazi thing comes from

Aside from the ignorant hatred, of course.

I mean, it's not as though Obama himself would have enjoyed much favor in Nazi Germany...

[Obamarama]

9. Yeah... I shook my head on that one, too. I think she has her presidents mixed up!

[Maccagirl]

6. I guess we know what Ms Hoyt's defintion of

"character, values and genuine love of country" is. Sad, just sad.

[madmom]

7. since when does a repug talk of "personal responsibility" oh that's right when it's a dem.

[HopeFor2006]

8. Um, Is she forgetting that we cast private ballots in this country?

:eyes:

What happened to all the talk of the Bradley effect?

(edited for spelling)

[Quantess]

10. What about all the white people who voted for Obama simply for being the best candidate?

Oh, and for the record, I think OJ is guilty as hell.

[Obamarama]

12. Exactly. Of all the things on the list of reasons I voted for Obama, race didn't even make the list!

And if it had made the list, it would have been dead last. With his intellect and vision I doubt it would have mattered if he were as purple as Barney The Dinosaur.

[flvegan]

11. Life "is a bowl of jalapenos"?

I'll bet Diana is a real peach at parties.

Oh, and Diana, don't put the jalapenos there and they shouldn't burn.

[peekaloo]

15. she does seem to be blowing fire out of her ass.

I saw a similar letter today, in a local paper, where the writer thought MLK would not have been so happy since we elected a man based on the color of his skin, rather than the content of his character.

Both are witless and confused. Scary combo.

[Starry Messenger]

13. Interesting. A google search on her lists her profession as writer.

But her only credits are hateful screeds to the K. Gazette it seems.

[TexasObserver]

19. She only thinks she's a writer.

Even her letters to the editor suck.

[Idealism]

14. Hypocrisy Meter: 10/10

"Character, values and a genuine love for our country apparently no longer matter to the masses of sheep who fell for this wolf in sheep's clothing."

-McCain left his first wife to marry the heiress after she was very badly hurt in an auto accident, very moral indeed.
-Values you ask for, well that may be hard to find for a candidate that has contradicted himself countless times throughout the election. Against Bush tax cuts early on, then campaigns on them. Picks an utterly unqualified shill in a lame attempt to woo women to the polls, way to compromise the values John.

"And proudly remember you were instrumental in destroying the basic tenets of freedom, opportunity and personal responsibility our founding fathers believed in."

-Bush and the Republican majority Congress passed the Patriot Act, not us. Their regime has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's and thousands more of our own soldiers-- not Obama's.
-If Obama's victory was anything but the story of opportunity, I don't know what is, so fear not that part of the founders dream is still alive.

16. Yesterday I received a vile, racist chain email with an article by

Tom Adkins called "White guilt is dead", spewing the same kind of crap.

[TexasObserver]

17. "a bowl of jalapenos -- tasty and enjoyable at first, but they will burn you in the end."

Well, at least she got the part right about how a bowl of jalapenos will burn you in "the end."

Boy, will they burn you in "the end."

[Jack Rabbit]

18. You're making more sense out of this letter than I can

How was Obama's election an act of political correctness? Excuse me, but we do have secret ballots, do we not? I could be a closet racist who actually voted for McCain for no other reason than he's white, after all.

Mr. Obama was simply the best man for this moment. After eight years of Bush, the country has been brought down so far that even our outgoing Republican administration is casting personal responsibility to the wind and bailing out billionaires for their own failures. Moreover, I don't see opportunity or personal responsibility mentioned in the Constitution, but I do see a number of rights which the Bush Junta eroded, such are the right to be secure with one's papers and effects, the right to due process of law and the right not to be incarcerated indefinitely without charge. Now that's what I call being politically incorrect and flying in the face of what our founding fathers believed.

If it's just a matter of political correctness, perhaps Ms. Hoyt could explain to me why the political career of Alan Keyes didn't take off like a rocket. It wasn't that long ago that Tom Bradley lost his race for governor of California to a demonstrably inferior candidate whose favorite hobby, once elected, was balancing the budget on the backs of school teachers and low level state employees. Perhaps rejecting Bradley was politically incorrect; it was most definitely stupid.

Many of those who voted to elect Obama, no doubt, not only thought they'd never see an Afro-American elected president, but never dreamed until this year that they'd ever vote for one if nominated. There were also many people who openly supported Obama who never thought until now that they'd ever vote for a Democrat running for president, such as Colin Powell and Scott McClellan.

Electing Obama wasn't politically correct. It was just smart.

20. I have never understood why a Republican talking point is repeated so often

on this forum.....or something thats plucked form some freeper's blog and repeated over and over...As the wave of this kind of BS spreads sooner or later some of this nonsense is actually absorbed by those that are easily brainwashed and soon becomes a topic of conversation at local coffee shops. or where ever..So why should subjects like this be given a boost... Just asking

[SemiCharmedQuark]

21. Why do RWers dominate LTTEs? There's another one saying mothers and fathers who opt for abortion

should go to prison.
