[QUOTE=Noble;33791364]What's inaccurate about their comments?
"nigger and monkey children" - racism
calling for the assassination of the leader of the nation - treasonous[/QUOTE]
Using loaded words and pretty obviously letting their feelings influence the article.
Which shouldn't ever happen in a news article, regardless of how bad the story is. Naturally, though, it happens all the time.
It's one thing to say you're going to assassinate the President, but why in the hell would you ever threaten to kill a couple of [B]kids?[/B]
[QUOTE=Jookia;33791626]I call fake, or hacked account.[/QUOTE]
I'm going to say this. You wouldn't just post this and immediately take it down. Although the Examiner says he tried to justify it.
The article reads like a blog post. Can you find a better source?
He's just giving voice to what most of the Tea Party really thinks, but isn't willing to admit in public. The birther shit would NEVER have happened to a white Democrat.
What is the deal with Republicans hating Obama so much? What's he done to deserve it? Try to give people free health care?

He's a Democrat. Rather, he's [I]not[/I] a Republican.
Reason enough for every Republican to despise him.
Can you be neither in the states?
[QUOTE=ripple3000;33792099]Can you be neither in the states?[/QUOTE]
yes you can but you won't be on the ballots due to ridiculous ballot laws.
So technically the U.S. is not a full democracy, 2 party system flaw.

You know politics are fucked up when this makes it sound a whole lot less crazy.

Unfortunately so. The only Independent I can think of in Congress is Bernie Sanders, and even if his name appears as Independent on the ballot he is still looped into a Democrat caucus.
No, you actually [I]can[/I] get on the ballots, but nearly no one will vote for you because mostly everyone is either Democrat or Republican.
Lieberman is too a Democratic Independent.

If people do vote for you, they'll mostly be from the side you're most like. Meaning you're effectively hurting the side you agree with more.

Better than the huge clusterfuck that is Brazillian's democracy.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;33792371]Lieberman is too a Democratic Independent.[/QUOTE]
That's sort of true. He's not entirely independent as he has an entire organized party in Connecticut that supports him known as the "Connecticut for Lieberman Party"

It's a flaw in FPTP, not specifically the US.
Vote spoiling/splitting and all that.
politics blows
Well this wouldn't happen if I had my way and they implemented Broadsword politics.
I'm lollin.
do people still say "leader of the free world"? hah

Not according to my parents. They felt so darn betrayed when he switched flags

Their feelings about not killing the president and their family? Their words were pretty correct (it was racist, it is treasonous and it is pretty deplorable).
[QUOTE=thisispain;33791473]that's not cool bro

You are a massive idiot if you think that the comments of a single man stand for the opinions of everyone in the nation.
