Obama People Going Crazy--Oppose Them And you Are a "Right-Winger" and "Hate-Monger"

| | Comments (2)

The American Left has two words they throw at a moments notice--"right winger" and "hate monger". Oppose their goals or candidates and they label use with these supposedly negative phrases.

These words are thrown out without context, fact or reason.

Instead, it shows the lack of class and intelligence.

Here is an article from the Chicago Tribune showing how irrational many Obama supporters are...note the use of their favorite phrases. Also note they give no reasons for use of these phrases.

So the next time you hear someone using those phrases you know they have emotional problems and need help. When you ask for examples, they have none, but claim you are a hate mongering right winger.

Sick.


WGN-AM again target of Obama campaign

Chicago radio station WGN-AM is again coming under attack from the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama for offering airtime to a controversial author.

It is the second time in recent weeks the station has been the target of an "Obama Action Wire" alert to supporters of the Illinois Democrat.

Monday night's target was David Freddoso, who the campaign said was scheduled to be on the station from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Chicago time.

"The author of the latest anti-Barack hit book is appearing on WGN Radio in the Chicagoland market tonight, and your help is urgently needed to make sure his baseless lies don't gain credibility," an e-mail sent Monday evening to Obama supporters reads.

"David Freddoso has made a career off dishonest, extreme hate mongering," the message said. "And WGN apparently thinks this card-carrying member of the right-wing smear machine needs a bigger platform for his lies and smears about Barack Obama -- on the public airwaves."

The Tribune-owned station was flooded with calls and e-mails about an hour before an Aug. 27 interview with Stanley Kurtz, a conservative writer who examined Obama's ties to former 1960s radical William Ayers.

A WGN producer said Monday night's response was about the same as when Kurtz was on the station.

I call them wingnuts or nutjobs.


I have to agree with you Stephen, there is way too much of that sort of talk...but it comes from both sides, the extremes of each side really.

There are bomb-throwers both left and right on these boards.

I know, it's hard to turn down the chance for quick sound byte-y quip..it can be very satisfying, I know, I done it myself.

Dems and Repubs of the extemes indulge in this talk to the detriment of reasoned discussion. Being reasonable does not get headlines, air time, or book sales regrettably.

Stupidity has no political boundaries.

Indulging in this to the extent we do only contributes to getting nothing done.
