Intensifying cries warn of Obama the dictator

Click photo to enlargeProtestors to the Obama health plan from Tri-Valley Republican Women's Federation and Pleasanton...«12»SACRAMENTO — Conservative activists found their voice in the searing month of August, equal parts outraged and overheated.

And just as it was at last week's Tea Party rally in Sacramento, their primary target was President Barack Obama, whom they accused of trying to kill capitalism, democracy and old folks.

"Ready to Secede Again," proclaimed one homemade sign at the Capitol. About 7,500 protesters congregated in sweltering heat to vent a litany of grievances. Another sign read, "Obama Lies, Grandma Dies." One had an image of the American flag slowly being transformed into an Obama sunset logo; "Going, Going, Gone," it read. "ObamaCare is to Die for," went another.

So why did Rhonda Hughes, a 53-year-old small-business owner from Truckee, put "Obama is lying, freedom is dying," on her homemade sign? "It's because we're coming to the end of times. The Lord's coming back, and to have that, we need a one-world government, and Obama is the man chosen to lead that."

To be sure, Hughes said there's nothing wrong with the end of times. "But we just don't want to go down without a fight," she said. "We don't have to go broke waiting for end times to happen."

3. How the hell would she KNOW if it hurt?
To hurt she would have to have enough neurons to register pain. Clearly...

2. End times?
One would think they would be happy about that. Isn't being in on the end times something they all wish for?

Why fight it? Sit down and enjoy the ride.

When the time comes to round you up, it'll be just that much easier.

All is going to plan.

Jabbering about the "end of times" and whatnot is great, as far as I'm concerned. :rofl:

13. If nothing else, this country needs to provide free psychiatric care.
Obama leading a one world government because it's the end of times? There's "out there" and then there's "WAY OUT THERE."

21. Shit, in the 80's my church was saying the same thing about Gorbachov (sp)
Someone should really remind these end-timers that their past record of predictions has been pretty fucking poor.

19. The funny thing is, we on the left wish Obama would be more forceful
I, at least ,wish he would come out and say "Health care reform MUST have a robust public option (or even better, single payer, and we WILL get there". And do the same on a bunch of other topics. He seems so afraid of saying something and then losing that he is unwilling to push anything strongly.


None of these lunatics said a thing when * said that he wished that the US was a dictatorship, with him as dictator.

22. at the end of the day this is nothing more than a bunch of white folks
going bat-shit-crazy over a black man being President of "their" country. They don't know what to do with themselves. It is the end of the world as they've known it and they are scared shitless. A lot of this is left overs of the civil rights struggles of the 60s.....all those leftover prejudices...all that unresolved fury...now has a face.....Obama and his family. No matter what Obama had done....given them all 30K/household....they still would have been screaming this shit.

We just have to let it play out (keep Obama safe) and realize that it really is a small percentage of the population. There really is more of "us" than there are of "them".

31. I agree with your post. But as long as the Mainstream Idiot Media
Edited on Tue Sep-01-09 04:38 PM by truedelphi
Continues to focus on these people, they are taken seriously.

And those who rely on TV for their source of news and reality become confused (At the least) or end up persuaded. (At the worst.)

23. Back in the good old days, people this nuts believed politics was of the devil and stayed in church
Because if the End of Days is right around the corner, which some of them believed to be so, then the best thing to do was let the rest of the world go to hell and save themselves by praying.

Dear God, can you please lead these folks back INSIDE the church, and let the rest of us get on with our lives? We promise to make sure they get health care and Social Security like the rest of us.

Hekate

out on the street to fend for themselves.

28. Did I miss something? Has the President threatened to suspend future elections?
Has he declared himself ruler for life?

No he hasn't.

And do these idiots really think that ANYONE, even a Democrat, would support any President of this country who wishes or tried to do that? Hell no. We have pitchforks and torches too.

30. While station surfing the other day, I heard a religious-right show
saying that swine flu was invented in the lab and released into the community to give Obama an excuse to declare martial law.

There ain't no cure for stupid that deep.

32. It's offensive though that they think Democrats would support anyone who wanted to be a dictator.
I mean really.....they really don't think that even the most hardcore supporter of President Obama wouldn't say "Just wait none second" if the idea of abandoning the Constitution just to keep someone in office was proposed????

29. I emailed Obama this morning.
I told him that I want him to have 8 years in office, followed by a long and successful retirement. I further told him that, while we on the left get frustrated with him, we have his back.

With all the death threats and lunacy getting media coverage, I figured it was the least I could do.

He listens to rush, collects guns against the day 'they' come to take the guns away. He lives in the Elk Grove enclave of these wingers.

35. Thank you all! This was one of those threads that had me laughing all the way through
at your comments - and I sure needed a good laugh. It's easy to get into such a state of despair over these nutcases on top of Commander Codpiece's Administration being on the airways every other moment of the day (and THAT's with watching no TV news/talking heads and only listening to NPR - now known as National Propaganda Radio - today it was old Homeland Sec ghoul-tool). Thanks for restoring some sanity.
