I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil, thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they are being good citizens. And I wanted Sandra to know that I thought her parents should be proud of her.” Obama added: “We want to send a message to all our young people that being part of democracy involves argument and disagreements and debate, and we want you to be engaged and there’s a way to do it that doesn’t involve you being demeaned and insulted, particularly when you’re a private citizen.” For his part,[b] Limbaugh seems to have learned little from the controversy that has cost him at least 26 advertisers.[/b] “What is it with all these young, single, white women?” the conservative icon ranted during his show on Tuesday. “Overeducated doesn’t mean intelligent!” [b]Video[/b] [url]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/06/obama-decent-folks-dont-call-women-sluts/[/url] [/release] [url]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/06/obama-decent-folks-dont-call-women-sluts/[/url]

the only thing Limbaugh learned was to keep his mouth shut if he wants to keep the money flowing.

You know you ate it so hard when the President has to call you out and he's quoted throughout the world news. Limbaugh get the fuck out

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35024742]Had to look up the guy whose avatar that is. Holy shit is he for real?[/QUOTE] Yes. I find it hilarious and slightly insulting how I'm called the Liberal Glaber. The day I spawn a pony avatar and use a radioshow as a source, I may as well be.
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35024742]Had to look up the guy whose avatar that is. Holy shit is he for real?[/QUOTE] He's somehow getting a little more rationalized as of late. a LITTLE more.

Republican candidates make as many as five of those an hour.

[QUOTE=Starship;35025086]Who is he?[/QUOTE] Glaber. Basically a little slice of FOX News that fell out of the petri dish and formed a brain out of dead lab mice it found.

Wow talk about taken out of context more then a think progress article.

If I was american, I'd vote for Obama because he seems to be the only candidate with a brain
Obama defending women's honor like a manly man.

Plus, even if that's completely true, that's simply a decent zing - I doubt there was any real malice behind it, and even if there was I wouldn't say that it would even be a completely unkind way of showing it.
sorry guys but i really like obama i'm not all into politics but i mean he seems like a really cool guy [editline]6th March 2012[/editline] plus he is, as previously stated, the only candidate with a brain or, you know, isn't totally fucking bananas

[QUOTE=KingKombat;35025435]sorry guys but i really like obama i'm not all into politics but i mean he seems like a really cool guy[/QUOTE] Why are you apologizing to Facepunch? I pretty sure most users here like Pres. Obama. Let's see how Santorum or Limbaugh react to this.
