Even former RNC Chairman Michael Steele said this was going way over the line.

I think everyone here can agree on how egregious this is and how it showes how far afield political rhetoric has gone.

I mean, I guess its better than being compared to Hitler.

 

[TuffaloDeac10]

That's kinda funny.

If that comparison offends you I suggest you turn your TV off for the next year and a half.

 

[Wrangor]

SHOCK! HORROR!

So unfortunately true.

I think Gilligan is a more appropriate nautical comparison, but this one will do.

I miss the days when a war time president was unquestionable or you hated America...

 

[EatLeadCommie]

meh...I don't see what the big deal is. Was it because he used "little" in describing him? Is that seen as too demeaning? Maybe it has something to do with people dying on that cruise ship? WGAF.

WFAF about anything the RNC chairman, or Michael Steele has to say. Or Wasserman Schultz.

pretty tepid actually. I don't remember the exact quote, butPresident Obama called Republicans "enemies" in a speech out west last year. And lest we forget so soon, the union boss Hoffa, with Obama waiting in the wings off stage yelled to the crowd "let's take those sons of b**ches out!"

Sounds like Democrats on Bush back in the "Glory Days".

And, don't forget, Palin had that target on Gabby Giffords and then paid that crazy dude to shoot her. It's rough out there.

Right calling the POTUS a killer and coawrd really is OK.

I really hope this guy keeps going. As the polls are showing swing voters are terrifically turned off by Mitt's negative attacks.

No those days still are around. There is a poster on this board that called me unpatriotic (his words) because I said the President did not look like his heart was in it on a 60 Min interview.

In all fairness, you do hate America.

I called you unpatriotic because you didn't respect the toll that being President takes on somebody.
