President Obama Doesn't Go to Paris March; Right Wingers React as Only They Can

That is, with an outpouring of racism, misogyny, anti-gay and anti-Muslim bigotry, etc. (see http://bluevirginia.us/diary/12727/president-obama-doesnt-go-to-paris-rally-right-wingers-react-as-only-they-can). Sad to say, but after 6+ years of this crap, it's not in the least bit surprising to see this outpouring of disgusting-ness Oh, and note to the "mainstream media": this is Example #Infinity why there's no equivalence between "both sides," and why you need to stop claiming there is.

Made fun of the French for not being gung-ho about going to the Bush/Cheney war? Called them wimps and idiots...much worse?

Amazing to see their hate is greater for Obama than the French people. How long will that last?
