I have a hitler/obama post on FB

[lemondrop]

OMG! I just can't believe it. I didn't even respond because plenty of other people have jumped on it.

This means it's over, right?

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

Was it HITLER MADE GREAT SPEECHES, TOO!? I had that a few days ago.

[lemondrop]

Um, no, Obama is pure evil. Here it is:

Thanks America. I've now lost about 90% respect for this entire country. Hitler Jr., er, Obama, gets 4 more years to push us to the point of no return. Red or Blue, I don't really care. But that man is evil, and his cousins are probably in a cave eating pork and drinking bootleg whiskey cheering him on. Fucking. Tards.

There is a lot wrong with that statement but what the hell does the bolded even mean?

ETA The best thing I have seen on fb all day is "Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt" that dude needs to read that quote and hopefully live by it.

I'm having a hard time biting my tongue on FB as well.

How has natural selection not taken that guy out yet? Gross.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

Muslims eat pork and whiskey, do they?

Holy shit. Obama =/= Hitler. At all. Not even close (IMO).

I thought it mean Obama was anti-Semitic, but I'm really unsure about that.

I understand that not everyone agrees on the election, but to truly minimize how thoroughly evil Hitler was really pisses me off. Logically and emotionally, there is NO comparison between the two and it diminishes all of the hurt that Jews and others have had to deal with post WWII.

[scotty]

Ooo, I'd unfriend that person.

[lemondrop]

I really hate that he had to post that. This guy was one of my best friends in high school and helped get me through some hard times, but I can't be associated with that kind of idiocy and hate. It's bad for my energy.

I think the bolded means they think Obama's cousins are in Al Quaeda and that somehow extremist Muslims have to hide in caves and eat the pork that their religion otherwise bans them from eating.

This is how I interpreted it also.

Just, ewwwww.

That makes sense.

It honestly made me think of bootleggers during prohibition I was so confused LOL.

It makes me so sad that there are people out there with so much hate in them. I would have been sad if Romney had won the election but I hope that I would have picked up and moved on as we have done for many other presidential elections in the past. That is one of the many great things about our country we can disagree and have elections that people on both sides of the spectrum feel strongly about and yet the transfer of power (or in this case having no transfer) is such a smooth transition.

this might be one of the funniest things i've read this morning.

yes, in your opinion. and in the opinion of ANYONE WHO ISN'T A RAVING RACIST LUNATIC.

i'm certain that the cave/pork this is as suesue described. fuck this guy. fuck this guy and his inability to be gracious. i'd have been heartbroken if romney would've won, but i'd hope that i'd retain the ability to live in reality instead of demonizing lala land.

Yes, exactly, and even if Obama is Muslim (which he isn't), who the fuck cares? As much as I dislike the Mormon faith, it did not inform my dislike of Romney, and I think that's true of many who are pro-Obama. It would be nice to get some common decency from the other side.

LOL I meant my opinion vs. the guy who posted the comment.

[lemondrop]

OK, Here's his response:

Ok Jen and Emily, for one, personal opinion. For two, I don't hate anyone, political parties are a scapegoat for having to deal with personal opinions, and three, I thought that everyone was on the same side, the side I've already defended 3 times. Thanks for your opinions though, ill definitely take them into consideration

(Jen and emily called him out on it)

I'm not sure if by three times he means his military service (I know he's been deployed at least two times) or the three comments he made in the replies, but it still doesn't make sense or excuse what he said. His three replies were all anti-Obama.

[moolarkey]

I vote for Romney. First chance I've had to check my facebook today was a few minutes ago. I almost throw up. I did defriend someone. She had some image up that was the hammer and sickle with the Obama campaign logo. I am still livid and it's been probably 15 minutes. Seriously there has to be steam pouring out of my ears and I think my head is going to explode. I am so damned disgusted that anyone would do that. I didn't want Obama in office but he's here. What I'm really hoping is that I was wrong about him and over these next 4 years he'll prove that to us. I really hope that. On top of that, he is our President and you do not disrespect the office or the person in that way. geez, now I have tears in my eyes sitting in my office. I am so angry.
