2. Just wait a few days when they'll accuse The President of politicizing 9/11. n/t

3. Yep! I think it was a great big "Rope a Dope".
All President Obama had to do was put out a few little buzzwords that he knew would drive them crazy and they ate it up.
Now those right-wing-nuts look like complete tools!

8. Exactly... the repubes have literally knocked themselves out

Masterful strategery.

4. Thin skinned ones
I got into a nasty fight on Facebook with some very thin-skinned wingnuts. It all started with my tin-foil hat joke regarding people that wouldn't let their kids hear the President. Boy are those folks thin-skinned. One girl must have had Fox News transcripts from the election on her desk the way she kept saying "Rev Wright, Rev Wright" then she would throw in "Green jobs, Green jobs" then say "see I made my point". I proceeded to argue and all hell broke loose.

They really aren't up to a fight, I have been around DU and fought with liberals too much, liberals tend to be smart.

5. After it was all said and done, I thought the same thing
They ended up making a mountain out of an anthill.

All they did was make themselves look like fools.

6. In the end I think it may expose the crazies even more....

though it's getting awfully depressing to see how many there are, and how far they're willing to go to discredit Obama and his administration.

I don't, however, think this was one of those rope-a-dope strategy things. Who could have imagined they'd get THIS batshit crazy?!

Still, allowing them to let their freep flag fly high is a good thing -- even if it wasn't planned -- if it allows reasonable people to dissociate themselves from the conservative movement and/or republican party.

7. I Am Planning to Write a LTTE
