The left seems to be quite angry that there is so much bashing, smearing and just negative attention being spewed at President Obama and his administration. We “right wing extremists” apparently are giving this administration a run for its money. TEA partiers, who the left has claimed as a “danger to democracy,” are now the “mob” and grass-roots conservatives are being compared to “Holocaust deniers.”  

Sorry libs, but there is a big difference between the mob and the civic, vocal participation of taxpayers challenging their representatives in a public forum. It’s called free speech.

David Letterman has recently threw a few hits, declaring healthcare protestors ” the Taliban.” What’s wrong Letterman? No Republican teenage daughters to pick on?

A recent picture of President Obama as The Joker with the word “socialism” at the bottom angered much of the left. The LA weekly went so far as to play the race card, saying “the only thing missing is the noose.” How is portraying someone as the joker racist?

Does anyone remember the extremely menacing picture of President Bush as the The Joker? Was that racist too?

What’s really racist is the photoshopped “blackface” of Michael Steele, which made the left so proud.

“Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery,” said Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson, “it is mean-spirited and dangerous.” But depicting a President as a terrorist, like the left did for eight years, isn’t dangerous? Right?

For eight years the Bush administration took its hits from the left. President Bush was photoshopped and repeatedly called Hitler and Mussolini. Remember the picture of President Bush depicted as Saturn devouring his own children? The “assassinate Bush” group was a legitimate group and Craig Kilborn flashed “snipers wanted” under a picture of Bush. Journalists and Broadcasters, like Keith Olbermann, were not afraid to call President Bush a “fascist” and a “terrorist.”

Even now, with Obama in office, the left is still taking hits at Republicans. Sarah Palin was photoshopped wearing a bikini and a machine gun. In June of this year, Playboy put out a top ten list of conservative women they’d like to “hatef*ck.” Perez Hilton called Carrie Prejean a “dumb b*tch” because she disagreed with homosexual marriage. Anderson Cooper called TEA party goers “TEA baggers.”

Liberals never respected Bush, his administration or the people who elected him. We peacefully denounce an administration because of it’s policies by protesting, and suddenly we are tyrants. We’re called “racists” and “a bunch of tea bagging rednecks.”

They told us that when Obama was elected, this country would come together. Souls would be healed. We would all hold hands and watch the unicorns run with the little birdies. But that isn’t the case at all. Apparently anyone who disagrees with the Obama administration is a bully, a terrorist. What was dissenting during the Bush administration?

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, ‘WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!” said Hillary Clinton in 2003.
