Remember-”We must confront stupidity and ignorance otherwise it goes on thinking it is alright.”

Making jokes about 9/11 is stupid, and Obama shouldnt laughed.

That said, what Obama did isnt even remotely close to as offensive as Bush’s “Where did those darn WMD go?” jokes. Obama made a brief mistake in the moment. Bush actively took part in a skit about how he foolishly got us into a war which has killed and maimed thousands of Americans.

Come on lib. You forgot war for oil, pipeline in Afghanistan, feed the corporate machine…and HALLIBURTON no bid contracts. Get it together!!!

Obama claims sainthood and in typical liberal hypocrisy:

1. praises the troops and cuts medical funding.
2. laughs at drug addiction of others and HAS A
HISTORY OF DRUG ABUSE.
3. Talks to Israel about support and Jerusalem as its
capitol and the next day talks to
the arabs and claims a 2 party solution with Jerusalem
split.
4. Claims to be a Christian and supports infanticide and
shuns the national day of prayer.
5. Claims to want to talk with Iran during the primaries,
denies it and now wants to talk with Iran as other
dictators call him a moron.
6. Cinco de Quatro?
7. TELEPROMPTORS R US. the guy is horrible away from the
prompter. No wonder he blew the inaugration oath.

AND YOU BUFFOONS CLAIM HE IS SMART? Bush could at least talk without a prompter.

Now if he only had the willpower to ignore donuts.

Wanda Sykes is a donut, and a stale one at that.

Naw, she is the hole who likes……..the hole.

Rush is a man of character, principal and values. I’m very proud and happy that he did not even acknowledge what was said. Rush is passionate and I’m sure they were expecting to see some of that. Way to go big guy!

Another hilarious liberal. Hey, we can go to Hawaii, Obama still has the blow connections as he sure blows as a president. Remember, libs always give people a second chance, right? Except when a conservative has a problem.

I got it now an ACORN does not fall far from the tree.

I think I was absolutely correct, and the first to mention that Rush was using his airtime to rehab Cheney’s image.

Score one for me, none for you, whoever you are.

Pretty lame – the lefties on Guardian Talk are more vicious by magnitudes than you are, and I don’t back down to them either. Whoever you are.

Cheney is disinterested in PRing himself. People like you don’t recognize patriots when you see them – which is one of the reasons we’re entering the twilight zone of Obama’s new facism.

Obama was the one caught on video laughing at 9/11 jokes – the story is his reaction….not Rush’s non reaction.

I hope the GOP is collecting a file of this stuff for 2010. A nice shot of Scare Force One flying over panicked New Yorkers running for their lives in downtown Manhattan, then cut to a clip of Obama laughing at Wanda Sykes’ joke, would make good fodder for a commercial.

Now if he only had the willpower to ignore donuts.

Obama will give you his own stash of cocaine!

And Obama foolishly pumps more troops into Afghanistan. The Afghans took care of the USSR as I remember and we have luke warm support from the NATO countries.

While Bush’s comment was not advisable I imagine he got sick of hearing about the WMDs that many many people thought Iraq had. It is common to make jokes of such supposed mistakes. So I would not put much into it.

That said, what Obama did isnt even remotely close to as offensive as Bush’s “Where did those darn WMD go?” jokes. Obama made a brief mistake in the moment. Bush actively took part in a skit about how he foolishly got us into a war which has killed and maimed thousands of Americans.

Wow a simplistic fat joke

Congrats

Something for Obama to ponder as he takes a drag from his Kool.

0bamessiah’s heart will go out to struggling addicts about as much as it does to those unfortunate fetuses who wish to punish their mothers with pregnancy…

Someone else may have answered this but Bob Beckel is a recovering alcoholic and he said addiction is nothing to make jokes about. Period.

He was truly steamed about it.

So not only did Sykes not mention Obama’s past drug use, but she also didn’t mention Obama’s mother’s being pregnant out of wedlock at 17. Much funnier when it’s a white conservative, I guess.

Bob Beckel went up a couple notches today on Hannity’s show in defense of Rush.

ctmom on May 11, 2009 at 9:29 PM

Now that’s a shock. I wonder what Beckel has up his sleeve?

I wish that we all had the willpower to ignore donuts…okay maybe I just wish I had the willpower to ignore them.

canditaylor68 on May 11, 2009 at 9:24 PM

Donuts are easy to ignore…peanut butter and chocolate, not so much.

Exactly! But isn’t it funny how Obama’s admitted years of cocaine and alcohol abuse doesn’t matter to these people?

RMR on May 12, 2009 at 11:46 AM

Isn’t it telling that to moronic, hypocritical, bad-humored Leftists, strangertologic for good example, it’s somehow ‘funny’ when people on their side have to resort to manufacturing unreal, straw-men caricatures of people like Rush passive-aggressively and deceptively under the guise of humor in order to ludicrously attack them because they’re really just childishly angry that people like him dared to criticize their 0bamessiah, but somehow it isn’t quite so funny when other people factually and therefore legitimately mock the pampered 0bamessiah’s seemingly endless commitance of danquayleisms, and when they mock the deliberate avoidance of his defenders to acknowledge that their Messiah actually presents himself to be about as competent a person as he is a bowler?
