Obama's father was an African, and his step-father was Indonesian. Obama's mother must have been a real whore!

Nice try lousey song writer. Obama isn't campaigning on an anti-interracial platform. Mittens. Mittens is running on "ending entitlements".

I can only guess, using your logic, your mother was a tone deaf nymphomaniac groupie to a Local High School Garage Band!

There isn't even any logic there SNAFU. I'm not even sure what his analogy is.

It is sort of like a kid taking his ball and going home and the other kid says Your mothers fat.

The thing I find really scary is the amount of hatred being spewed by people. I have said this before but there use to be a time where people could have a debate and listen to what the other side has to say. That isn't an option anymore.

The face of a Racist and one of his many bastards.



Jim is a typical Romney supporter. I'm sure he hates Romney in private.Probably wishes Santorum or Gingrich got the nomination. He will do as the party says. Vote the black man out of office.Loyal to your party Jim but not your country. Jim Colyer HATES America.

No one here would say something so vile and disgusting about Mitt's Mom. His Mom and Dad were pretty decent people,unlike Mitt. Jim, how can you call yourself a Christian? Why would you go after Obama's Mom? What a sick man you are.(and a horrible song writer)

So I have something in common with Mitt Romney. Who'd have thunk it?

And Jim, calling a woman who married more than once ain't a whore. If so then millions of men and women in this country are all whores (some of which somehow became parents of Presidents, this of course includes both Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford in addition to Obama off the top of my head). But I guess because she mothered children with two foreigners is what really rankles you.

So is my mother a whore for having been married twice?

Or is it okay, because both of her husbands were white...?

Please, Jim. I want to know.

But you won't respond, because you don't even read the threads you blunder into.

"Obama's father was an African, and his step-father was Indonesian. Obama's mother must have been a real whore!"

I have only infrequently had my breath taken away by something someone posts here.

What a remarkably hateful thing to say. And we're left to wonder--is the mother of the President of the United States thus indicted because she was married twice--TWICE!! Just think of it!--or because she had the temerity and lack of good, old-fashioned, red-blooded, GO-USA!!!-ism to marry men from other countries?

And Jim Colyer, how far back must one's prospective spouses family be able to trace their lineage in America to be satisfactory to you? If a woman's prospective husband's PARENTS were foreigners, is she still risking your wrath? How about his GRANDPARENTS? At what point do you, almighty arbiter, deem that someone is "American" enough?

Until today, I thought people were a little hard on Jim Colyer--his posts struck me as the harmless ramblings of a slightly learning-disabled 9th-grader. I see now that I was too kind.

BTW--when the day comes that decent people agree that character assessment and moral judgement of the mothers of American presidents is a legitimate arena for inquiry, I call dibs on Barbara Bush.

He's posted a lot of stupid things before, some of which had little to do with politics (you probably have read references to his songs), long before even I posted but his politics have really come out since Obama got elected.

I think actually labeling him a 'typical Romney supporter' may actually be offensive to Romney supporters. These people who attack the mother of the President long existed before Mitt Romney's candidacy happened. He's just vile.

Mitt Romney's Great Grandfather had five wives - simultaneously. His family tree contains six polygamous men with forty-one wives. What does that make them Jim?

Newt Gingrich has been married 3 times. What does that make him?

Ronald Reagan was married twice, and had children by two different women - what does that make him?

And for the record, you and your comment are disgusting and vile.

Seriously, was that an attempt to satirize Republican hatred...or is this poster a genuine cretin?

Remember, people, that there's LOTS more JIMs out there. And anybody who thinks this country is less racist and less xenophobic than in the past, think again. Jim, you and your ilk ARE THE DOWNFALL OF THIS COUNTRY, YOU STUPID F*CKING CLOSET CASE. It's so curious that self hating homophobes/racist pigs ALWAYS are posting (incessantly) on gay friendly websites? WHY????? It's always "just" a matter of time before "polite" racists reveal themselves as the hateful and disgusting bigots they are.

They don't need to. It's never been hidden information. Mitt Romney has always pointed to his dad as an example of how people can do well for themselves in the US. His dad didn't even have a college degree.

Jim humbly compares himself to St. Paul:

2004 - THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST
Mel Gibson answered Islam in the wake of 9/11 with his faith in Christ as the only means of salvation. He sought realism by using Latin and ancient Hebrew. He confronted accusations of anti-Semitism. In my astronomy paper, I prove that God does not exist. But the Holy Spirit reveals that God does exist. I had a religious experience at age 26. One night, I knelt beside my bed thumbing through the New Testament. Understanding poured into me. It was as if God pulled back a veil and allowed me to see the nature of things. The Holy Spirit showed me that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on a cross for my sins and rose from the dead. The room lit up in an unearthly white light. It was an experience similar to the one Paul had on the road to Damascus. Jesus did not speak to me but revealed the essence of the New Testament as ultimate truth. I shall never forget it. "Jesus" will be the last word on my lips. The word "Passion" comes from the Latin word for "suffering." The Passion deals with the arrest, trial and crucifixion of Jesus.

Yawper--

What needs to be spun--or even just explained in a rational way--is how a man who freely acknowledges that his father accepted government welfare money can speak with such disdain of people who consider themselves "victims" and greedily take money from a too-generous government.

I don't condemn Mittens for being the son of a man on Welfare. I condemn him for his hypocrisy, churlishness and selfish greed. He appears to feel that the subsidies that HE gets are OK, it's what everybody else TAKES that is bleeding this country dry.

Seriously--do you not find his thinking either completely illogical or completely offensive?

Bull-to-the-**** that George Romney is an example of getting up by his bootstraps. The conservatives made their bed for demonizing the 'welfare queens' for decades. They have to lay in that bed now now fully knowing some of their guys directly benefited from gov't assistance. Conservatives racialized and gendered welfare recipients far away from George Romney's image. That Mitt Romney continues with that rhetoric and imagery considering his father's background is sick and twisted.

because his dad wasn't greedy nor considered himself a victim? It's one thing to rely on assistance in a tough time but still striving to succeed but another to make a habit of it by quitting or giving up. Even our most recent Dem governor shortened up the lifetime limits for receiving state-based benefits.

Except, Yawper, the current Republican trend is "WE BUILT THAT!", with no help from the government. It was plastered all over their convention.

And Mitt Romney certainly made no distinction when he dismissed nearly half the population as moochers.
