I would've said the same thing about Hillary or McCain if they were making a big deal about nothing like they are with Obama. I think you are far too bigoted yourself to understand a simple exaggeration. It looks to me like you'll try anything to pick a fight. If that's what you want, bring it on,'cause I'll eat your lunch. Hillary made what you call a simple exaggeration when she told the story about sniper fire. Unlike your simple exaggeration, she did not say that any human was related to a dog.

I got to thinking about it and that was about the grossest insult I've ever had thrown at me. To even suggest that I am a bigot is ludicrous. I have a niece who has at least as much African heritage as Obama. If it's OK to have a favorite niece, by Grab, she's it. I love that little girl with all my heart. And to even think that I am bigoted... well maybe I am a little. I cannot stand overly sensitive, knotheaded liberal idiots who try to put words in my mouth just to try to make a point that doesn't even exist except in their pointy little heads like yours, typical US citizen. No one put words in your mouth. You stated:“I placed a quote from the AFA about Obama somewhere in one of these many many nonsensical stories about him being related to everybody from Brad Pitt to Lassy and it has completely disappeared.” The truth is no published article has stated that Obama was related to Lassy. That came from you. Maybe you thought the statement would be viewed as clever or funny but saying someone is related to a dog is not funny.

Tom D wrote: To, Probably not a typical US citizen, You are seriously ill, pal. I didn't compare Obama to a dog. Where in hell did you ever get that? And you go on this assinine rant about Obama - dog this and dog that? earlpittsamurican wrote: "This is interesting. I placed a quote from the AFA about Obama somewhere in one of these many many nonsensical stories about him being related to everybody from Brad Pitt to Lassy and it has completely disappeared. Is Big Brother watching???" His comment was obviously concerning the disappearance of what he posted, and not Obama being a dog. To most normal TYPICAL US citizens, it was pretty clear he wrote about Obama being related to eveything from Brad Pitt to Lassy - for EFFECT. You may not agree but most of us think this is this is a very stupid topic to discuss. We have written back and forth in other threads about that very thing. So earlpittsamuricans comments were to point out the folly of that which I just mentioned. You liberal dunce. But no, you with that typical US liberal crapola try to spin it to make it sound like someone really was calling your bud (B. Hussein Obama) a dog. GET REAL, YOU ASS. Then John in commerce wrote: Hey Mr. Typical liberal wacko citizen, did you read that last quote? "Who really gives a rats posterior how or if these idiots are related..." THAT'S THE PIONT..........YOU DOE DOE. It's a stupid subject to discuss....WHO CARES about "these idiots." I would never agree to anyone saying Obama is a dog. I would agree if someone said he is a liar, a deceiver, spiritually evil, anti-white, anti-American, anti-Jewish, a con artist, and the Senator with the most liberal voting record in Congress. but I would not agree to the doggy thingy. Now, go take a chill pill. It’s good to know that you would never agree to anyone saying Obama is a dog. You said,“it was pretty clear he wrote about Obama being related to eveything from Brad Pitt to Lassy - for EFFECT.” Most people know that Lassie was a German Shepherd – a dog that was on TV and in movies for many years. If the person was not referring to Lassie, the dog, then I apologize. But if the person meant to write Lassie (Lassy) the dog, then how do you explain the comment? Is it perfectly acceptable to say someone is related to a dog if you can’t find you post? Plus, no article stated that Obama was related to Lassie. Maybe the person that made the comment was having a Hillary Clinton moment – sleep deprivation. When you wrote “for EFFECT” to explain the comment, does that mean that even though there are millions of people, famous and infamous that ‘earlpittsamurica’ the poster could have used in the post, using a dog was the best way to get the point across – even though no articles used a dog? I agree with the post that said:“Who really gives a rats posterior how or if these idiots are related...” His point was well taken – he doesn’t care. And though this person believes that all the people named are idiots, he did not say they were related to dogs.

And you, my fine California nut, turned it around on me trying to make me look like a bigot, which I am not. You deserve every bit of the flames thrown your way and then some. How about I change it and say "related to everybody from Brad Pitt to J. Fred Muggs." Or Albert Einstein, or Lucille Ball, or Jaws. I repeat, I was only making a point of how stupid the article is. You have allowed your ultra-liberal, politically correct mind set to open your mind so far, your brains have fallen out. I consider it the worst of insults to call me a bigot. Except, of course, for the before mentioned folks like you who are so self-righteous they can't see anything past their noses. And they can be white, black, red, blue, or pink with orange stripes for all I care. You are a jerk no matter what color your skin happens to be.

Tom D wrote: by the way, Typical "are you a" US citizen?, When you wrote: "It's people like you that takes the time to condemn Obama for saying his grandmother was a typical white woman when it came to her fear of black men and that she made comments that were racially offensive." You are not too smart are you? You seem to stick both feet in your mouth. I take it you don't think his Grandmother's fear of black men is nothing else but pure racism and bigotry. You might find it interesting to know that Jesse Jackson was asked about walking the streets of Washington DC after dark. His answer was, "When I did walk the streets and I heard footsteps walking behind me, I was actually relieved when I turned and saw it was a white man." Oh yeah, before I forget, Bill Cosby said the same thing. You are not a very worthy opponent. You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. Now, you're dismissed, go take your meds. I found nothing wrong with Obama's comment about his grandmother. Obama never said his grandmother was a bigot or a racist. He said that there were times when she made comments that made him cringe. I used the words racially divisive instead of the direct quote but he did say that his grandmother used stereotypes and other language that made him cringe. It was the media and a lot of posters that took what he said and used it to say that Obama made a statement against white people. And by the way, like most Americans, I am familiar with Jackson's comments. Plus I heard the Bill Cosby interviews and I liked what he said.

I accept that you were trying to make a point on how stupid the articles were. However the articles did not state that Obama was related to Lassie. The fact that you believe people can be white, black, red, blue, or pink with orange stripes says a lot about you. There are no blue people and finding pink people with orange stripes would be a challenge. If you are comfortable labeling people as descendants of dogs or even Jaws, that's your view. But don’t be surprised when your view of people being non-human is challenged. Most people see other people as humans.

Is anyone else getting disgusted with all of this "Electile Dysfunction?" It is so very "Hollyweird" and an insult to my intelligence! Does anyone else feel this way?

You definetly are related to an English walnut. I'm surprised you didn't take me to task for listing the color black second instead of first. But if I'd listed black first, then that would have caused you to get up in arms again. It's obvious nothing I say or do is going to convince you I'm not a bigot because you are so high and mighty with your political correctness. I'm sorry I don't measure up to you.

mscommonsense, at the risk of being called a bigot again, I agree totally. The 2 Democratic candidates are at each others throats so badly, that the media needs something to take the focus off that so they can promote their favorite son, Obama. I read somewhere that the media has deemed Hillary an honorary Republican so they can trash her at will and not feel guilty. I have a tendancy to vote against whoever Hollywierd endorses, so Obama will not get my vote.

I'm not angry with you. Your comments reflect the way you see the world, with blue and pink people with orange stripes and related to animals. I accept that that’s the way your express your humor. Just curious, how would you feel is someone said that your ancestors were dogs? Would you laugh and say that’s funny.

If someone mentioned my name in the same vein as I mentioned Obama's, yes, I would snicker a little, because I have enough sense to know he is just exaggerating for effect. Just as the blue and pink people were an exaggeration, which obviously, you didn't pick up on either. I really feel sorry for you if you have no mor of a sense of humor than that. The world must be a terribly dark and disparing place for you.

People like you are destroying our nation. You can’t seem to contain you hateful prejudices and bigotry. I heard he is also related to Daffy Duck, but not to Donald Duck. Is this true, or just racist propaganda?

Hillary was telling what we English call a Porkie Pie, a BIG fat LIE. Sniper fire indeed !!! I also read that she is related to Mr McGoo, so perhaps that explains it. Is it true that Obama is related also to Jesus, Mohamed, and the Count of Monte Cristo?

To you that's funny but to me that's below the belt. Though I don’t know you, just knowing that you are a person with opinions and hopefully a family is enough for me to never say that your ancestors were dogs.

Let me make this as clear as I can possibly put it. You seem to have the opinion that I am a bigot. I AM NOT A BIGOT. NEVER HAVE BEEN. NEVER WILL BE. I DID NOT SAY OBAMA WAS RELATED TO A DOG. I SAID WHAT I SAID PURELY AS AN EXAGGERATED WAY TO MAKE A POINT. I AM NOT STUPID, ALTHOUGH I HAVE MY DOUBTS ABOUT YOU. IF YOU HAD ANY COMMON SENSE WHAT SO EVER YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I DID. It's my guess that you are attacking me because of your repressed guilt for being an incredible bigot yourself. You are ignoring anything I have said. You think your opinions are the gospel and they aren't. If you insist on having the last word, go for it. There is a lot of space left on the server. I will be ignoring your lunacy from now on. You're causing my blood pressure to go up. No self respecting dog would claim you as a relative.

You stated that I wrote my comment like a typical black person. Why do you believe only a black person would object to Obama being viewed as less than human -- related to a dog? Do you believe that all white people should share your opinion that Obama is related to a dog? What are you nuts? People like you are a real problem in our society. It's people like you that takes the time to condemn Obama for saying his grandmother was a typical white woman when it came to her fear of black men and that she made comments that were racially offensive. Then you say it perfectly acceptable to say that Obama's related to a dog. I won’t pretend to know your race but if you are white and were raised in the USA, you too have heard racially divisive comments made by some of your older family members. Just like blacks, Asian, Latinos and Native Americans, we all have heard racially divisive comments made by friends and family members. But to state that Obama is related to a dog shows that you believe Obama and his family are less than human. That’s way below the belt. I really believe that it was a FIGURE OF speach ... no one is comparing him or his family to a dog.. the person screwed up by saying lassie . God this is a dumb conversation. Who cares about links to Jolie and Pitt? Then someone tries to make a joke saying you can trace us all back including him., to everyone from nixon to bono.. and instead of using those names uses the name lassie the tv star and for gods sake it becomes an issue????? Will the person who screwed up and used the wrong name just apologize please so this doesnt end up on CNN? People are making to big an issue out of this! Come on. I know there are some racist people out today I saw them.. my god I never saw so many .. but this post is not one of them.. dont take that one so serious please!

mz selina, I was doing my best to make a non-issue of it by showing how completely silly it was. Then Typical US Knothead jumped me. If it will make him/her shut up, I'll apologize. I'll even change it to "from Brad Pitt to George Washington Carver." There. If that's racist, I'll eat my hat. I'm sorry, I left out the Mexican-Americans, the Native-Americans, the German-Americans, the Irish-Americans, the Japanese-Americans, the Swedish-Americans..... How bigoted of me. What the Hell is wrong with just being an American? Why does race or nationality have to show up in every debate? Why am I still here???

Hey Typical, GIVE IT A BREAK WHY DON'T YOU. For crying out loud - what is the matter with you? Did someone drop you on your head when you were a baby? I have never seen, heard, witnessed, or read about anyone repeating the same stupid comments over and over and over. Do you not realize everyone in here thinks you to be about as wierd as anyone can get. Are you on drugs? I'm serious. Man, I recommend everyone ignore "Typical Stupid US Citizen." You know what, I did not say or even think that Obama was related to a dog, BUT NOW I DO. I think he's related to one of those huge St. Bernards. You know the one's who froth at the mouth and drool all over you pants if you get near them. OH yeah, one other thing dufus (dufus is another name for typical US citizen) Lassy was not a German Shepard. Lassy was a Collie.

I said several times that I accept the fact that you thought you were making a clever remark using Lassie, a dog. I accept that you were making a point and were trying to be funny or clever. You seem to believe that since I did not find the comment funny that I must live on the dark side. Actually, I’m a typical US citizen that does not share your sense of humor. But I do acknowledge this is acceptable language for you. By the way, you have a lot of support. Even though some may not agree with your statement about Obama and Lassie, they seem to stand behind you as a person. Any one that says as many times as you have that you are not a bigot, using all caps, I get the point. And even though you've attack my character for not accepting your comment as clever, cute or witty, I do accept that you were not trying to be disrespectful. I believe you. I do not believe you are a bigot. I don’t want your blood pressure to continue to rise. You should not be upset that I questioned your choice of words, but you must know that linking Lassie, a dog with any human as a relative is just not funny. As I said before, if you did not mean to say Lassie, the dog is related to Obama, then I sincerely apologize. Have a good day. It's been fun.

I don't think the comment was meant to be racist. However, it was in poor taste. I thought it was interesting that the person kept defending the comment. Since Obama's began his presidential run, these threads have been filled with many racist comments. It appears his name alone has brought out the worst in people. Since I like Obama, I can't find any humor in Lassie statement. But I agree that it should not become an issue. I’ve expressed my feelings, the person expressed their feelings and that should be enough.
