I told them they should be ashamed of themselves, God is, and was told "God gave some of us a sense of humor." Sorry. no lol. I'm all for people having their anti-Obama groups, whatever (I still have some George ones ), but never in a million years would I join a group advocating someone's death. Foul.

[Nancy Drew]

I can't help it. I need an outlet. :oops:

I'm only fighting with the ones I am 99% sure aren't trolls. :lol:

No one here is actively praying for his death. That's what you people AREN"T getting. We're just dissatisfied with some of the things he's done, and this is coming from someone who voted for him.

If you aren't actively praying for his death, maybe you should change the name of your group to, you know, something that isn't actively praying for his death.

It's such bullshit.  Maybe it's because Facebook wasn't around much or as popular during the Clinton administration, but there's disagreeing with someone and then there's wishing them harm, accusing them of not being a citizen, accusing them of being a terrorist.  It just seems to me that anything anyone bad has to say about Obama just links back to his skin color and/or his heritage and nothing else.

ETA: Do you have to "Like" the page in order to post?

Tara, I want to join, but omg, I'm afraid my fucking head would explode from all the morons.  I read for a few minutes, and had to take a breather. 

[Feetprints]

I could swear the same joke was going around about Bush a little while back.

It was, and people are unoriginal, so they just switched out Bush for Obama.

[/quote]That's exactly my point. I'm annoyed by the maliciousness of the title, not that there are people who dislike Obama, and by the flippant attitudes. I mean, come on, what they really want to start is a group called "This Negro Isn't MY President." And yeah, you have to Like it. I did and then just deleted it off my feed. I think probably half the people who Like it are like me, but still, way too many who actually agree with it.

[/quote]I doubt it, since those people weren't dead when he was President.

Also, lol @ their default pic.

[/quote]thanks, I was thinking the same thing (about them being unoriginal) but wondering if I had imagined the whole thing  :lol:

[/quote]Right because they couldn't have been doing anything like subbing celebs that had died then, or using the term "former president"  :lol:
Whatever. I find this no more or less distasteful now than I found the hate groups for Bush. Or Clinton. Or Bush Sr. Or Reagan. I don't see why it's suddenly a big deal because it's aimed at *this* president.

I've wished death on Rush Limbaugh, and I meant it.  He's a horrible, evil man. Same with Ann Coulter.  I couldn't do it, but I would totally high five someone for doing it. 
I never wished death on Bush, because I don't think he's evil or deserves death, he's just stupid. 

[deeply shaded]

I wish people dead all the time.

Yeah, it's pretty disgusting. 

[strmmrgrrl]

Granted, people may have wished death on Bush - but it wasn't immediately after he was voted in.  He had a few fuck ups before shit went downhill.

Right-wing, "good christian" folks have been hating on Obama the minute he threw his hat in the ring.

[/quote]If they did, I don't remember it; if I was invited to join such a group, I wouldn't have joined; and I would have been similarly disgusted if the group was the work of people who called themselves Christians.
