I have a similar problem at school. But rather than a follower, its a hater. It's not Obama, however. Its the Governor of Puerto Rico.Siren wrote:I voted for Obama, but I am not some Obama fanatic. Frankly, I didn't like him or McCain, but I disliked and distrusted McCain even more. Ever since I could vote I have yet to find a candidate I feel I can 100% back.
His followers are as crazy and even crazier then him. Believe me, I talk to his little followers daily due to my work that sells magazines, including his magazines. And I have to listen to their total BS about Obama all day long...Usually I have to finally interrupt and say, "Sir, can I help you with the subscription to the magazine?"
Being laid off and getting fired are two different things.pap64 wrote:I have a similar problem at school. But rather than a follower, its a hater. It's not Obama, however.

The story is that the Governor and his government laid off over 20,000 public employees. The classmate was one of the many that got laid off. During the week that he got fired he couldn't stop talking about it. He was PISSED. He damned everyone, the people that voted for the governor, the governor himself, his boss and everyone in between.
At first I agreed with what he said that thought it was unfair he and many others got fired for the sake of saving the economy. But the problem was that he kept going on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on to the point where it became a shtick for him.
He kept making Facebook posts IN ALL CAPS ABOUT IT. Sometimes he made up to five comments in one day, all saying the same thing. And even when he marched against the lay offs, he comes back and is STILL talking about it, nearly two months later!
I mean it's not that I don't feel bad that he got tired. But the problem is that when you go on and on about something it grows annoying quickly. Like if he wanted people to join his cause he is doing it in an annoying manner.
So yes, haters can be just as annoying as the fanatics.
I'm sorry, but I'm getting a bit tired of people who compare the crazy/delusional/evil/racist conspiracy theories of the Limbaughs and Becks about Obama with the hatred of 'the left' for Bush. The right-wing scream "death penals" and "nazi" about Obama's health care plan! His health care plan! They said what the gesture he made with Michelle was a "terrorist fist bump"! They say Obama isn't a legitimate president because he;s not born in the US --despite his birth certificate which is up on the US government web site!IagoZazu wrote:Rush has had it made since Obama became president, and he refuses to acknowledge him on anything he trys to do. He obviously thinks he's an evil socialist out to destroy America when he's really just trying to do what he thinks is right like all presidents. Democrats and liberals did the same thing to Bush, and now it's the republicans and conservatives turn to bash Obama.
Tell me about it. The ones I vote for are third party and have no chance of winning. Oh well, one day someone will come around that "gets it" (who also has a chance of winning) and on that day, I might be able to proudly tell people who I voted for.Siren wrote:Ever since I could vote I have yet to find a candidate I feel I can 100% back.
Who was it that started the whole 9/11 conspiracy theories? I know something was going around about Bush secretly causing 9/11 just to get oil. Not to mention I've seen Bush/Hitler posters and crap like that, and I just figured that stuff was from the left. Maybe its just me but I see crazy extremists on both sides. It happens when people start to associate themselves more with their parties then their own beliefs (we should stick up for our own beliefs, not the party we belong to, as we don't owe them anything).Goliath wrote:WHEN has 'the left' EVER made such ridiculous, ludacris claims about the Cheney/Bush-administration? What a lot of right-wingers are doing (and I'm not saying you're one of them), is to equate these outrageous claims from the Limbaughs and Becks with the *factual* criticism of 'the left' against Bush. Let's not forget Bush had Guántanamo/Abu Graib/secret CIA prisons/Iraq war/Katrina disaster/outing Valerie Plame/Patriot Act/abuse of power to be criticized about.
I didn't think you supported their claims. I wasn't replying to you.buffalobill wrote:By the way Goliath I am no right winger (as far from it as you can get). I was just posting the earlier story to show what those two freaks were saying about this tragedy not agreeing with it.
But the big, fundamental difference is that those fringe elements on the left didn't have a nation-wide 24 hours 'news' network that ventilated their outrageous ideas. There weren't any radio hosts with a daily reach of 20 million listeners who gave them a platform. People depecting Bush as Hitler weren't encouraged to do so by influential writers and tv people, or invited to come to corporated-sponsored rallies. Neither did the fringe left who made such claims have any support from politicians in Congress. They didn't have Sarah Palins or Joe Wilsons who backed them. They were ignored. In contrast to the haters on the right-wing nowadays who are constantly encouraged and given a platform by the media and Republicans in Congress.jpanimation wrote:Who was it that started the whole 9/11 conspiracy theories?

Sean Hannity has them on so often I think some of them should be considered co hosts & put on the Fox payroll.Goliath wrote:In contrast to the haters on the right-wing nowadays who are constantly encouraged and given a platform by the media and Republicans in Congress.
