Jeez, don't you hippie wackjob fruits have anything better to do? All that effort could have been better spent.

How many can see the irony here?

they've been talking about this on the news for a few weeks now.

and no.....people out here really have nothing better to do, except sit in trees refusing to come down for months on end.

Speaking of sitting some dude broke the record for sitting in 48 hours, using the Rose Bowl stadium recently. Some 38,000!

WOW. Shocked

Hollywood, wait, he just sat there for 48 hours? That's an accomplishment?

Hollywood · Posted: Jul 10, 2008 7:21 am Post subject:

No, he got up and sat down in 38,000 different seats.

Getting up and sitting down over and over and over again.

This is the kind of thing that really pisses me off. No respect and it's pathetic. The man is the god damn leader of our country. He's going to do things you don't like. Deal with it.

But to make an effort to belittle a president like this is uncalled for. It sends a terrible message to future generations. We have to stand behind our leaders and do our best to work together as a country to move this country forward.

F*cking hippies...STFU and go to work like everyone else so we can help get our economy back on track. Less blaming, more WORKING.

To me, it's more revealing of the character issues of the people who have supported this than anything else.

These folks need to take a deep breathe and smile.

The guy should have taken a picture from each seat so people buyinh tickets know exactly what their view is. Dingleberry was only thinking of himself I guess.

J-Ro, lol thats a lot of photos! Shocked

edrex, Speaking out in disagreement and showing an utter disregard and lack of respect for our elected leaders or anything else by making personal permanent reference to feces are two different things in my book. It just shows a lack of maturity and an inability for these folks to contribute to society in a positive or constructive manner, IMHO.

Respectfully disagreeing is unfortunately not in the capacity of a lot of folks any longer.

I think it's pretty funny.

I'd think it's funny if they were doing it to Clinton or Carter too.

The last people deserving of respect, in my book, are politicians.
So long as you leave their kids and spouses alone.

In my opinion, naming a sewage plant after a politician is far less damaging than something like this:

(fox's "terrorist fist jab" comment)

And I would feel that way had they said that about John and Cindy McCain.

One is a disresctfull and childish joke.

The other spreads a malicious and libleous lie that could influence an election.

Which one makes you more angry?

I could care less what they say about any politician. What bothers me is all the fuss and effort put into it to do it.

Kind of like treehuggers setting fire to new home developments. Great now we have to cut down MORE trees to replace the houses you burned. Good job.

ScottyB_RochNY, does it really lower national pride and morale? Or does it say that we are in a sh|tty situation and making the best of it by having some fun at the expense of the guy who caused the sh|tty situation in the first place?

Now, that makes me a little angry. But, if they decided to name an abortion clinic or a sewage treatment plant or something like that after Obama, so be it.

Though I like him, I must never forget that he's a politician, and thus, by definition, a scumbag in a nice suit.

But a NEWS organization has a responsibility, ALL NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, have a responsibility to act ethically.

Can anyone, even the most staunch conservative, watch the "baby mama" graphic, or the "terrorist fist jab" report, and seriously still deny that Fox is very biased?

Anyhow, to sum up:

make fun of politicians: good
Do it on a news program: bad

oshensurfer · Posted: Jul 10, 2008 11:55 am Post subject:

AFAIC, all news organizations have a bias.

It's not the point here. The point is, is that this is completely un-constructive, a waste of tax payer dollars to implement or even have it on the ballot and history will likely tell that it is probably just as destructive to the US reputation from a global perspective.

EVERYTHING touched by human hands has a bias.

But Fox is worse than anyting else
that claims to be a news organization.

I think that belittling a leader
who has insulted and alienated so many countries and leaders
wont' really damage our global reputation.

Here's a timely example:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/2277298/President-George-Bush-%27Goodbye-from-the-world%27s-biggest-polluter%27.html

I say, if signing a stupid petition is what they like doing, let them try to circulate their petition around. It's no more or less constructive than wakeboarding or camping or playing tennis, IMO.

But I can see how people would be mad at the waste of taxpayer money. But are you also mad at the waste of taxpayer money involved in changing the name of something to honor a politician?

This is what I think of politicians in general, especially the dirt bags in CA.
