Stop anti-Obama letters

Thank You!, I've been wondering for a while why the D-news is giving a forum to the radical fringe of our society, the rhetoric is ridiculous.

It was the PROMISE of Barrack Hussein Obama to implement a policy of transparency to the American people. Will you ask him to PLEASE produce a valid long form birth certificate to prove once and for all his natural born status qualifying him to hold the office of the President of the United States.

If this is not alarming to you, the DN's should not print another one of your letters until you get better informed, and serious about the usurpation of the highest office in the land.

After that is resolved we can then go down the road and discuss the other unconstitutional things this man continues to do.

Excuse me, but Bush was not the best thing since a slice of bread, but having no slice and given crumbs at best from Obama is not the American way.

Perhaps you should be a little more intelligent next time you come crying to the DN about "Anti-Obama" letters. Perhaps you can research the word "HYPOCRITE" prior to writing such non-sense!

Are we really still worried about Obama's birth certificate? Move on, direct your energy to something productive for heck's sake.

To Anonymous, you had your 8 years of complaining and somewhat justifiable disparagement of President Bush. Some of your comments about President Bush were quite rude and crass at best.
Now that the shoe is on the other foot you expect us to kneel and kowtow to President Obama and not critize him on anything that he does.
From the tone of your comments is sounds like you want to suspend the 1st Amendment rights of those who do not agree with him, or with you.

The far-right lives and breathes in a childish tit-for-tat world.
I say publish everything they say. Shed light on their leaders (Limbaugh, Palin, etc.) and their all-about-me philosophy whenever it comes up.
This makes it easier and easier for the mature Americans at the voting booths.

Ok, then stop the ridiculous Pro-Obama letters and articles from the fawnig press to be fair.

paraphrase: "I believe in tolerance - so shut up"
This is exactly why Obama and his supporters should have verocious critics

"This makes it easier and easier for the mature Americans at the voting booths."

I have yet to meet a "mature" liberal. You just confirmed that yet another "INMATURE" liberal is running rampant.

I think you just have the case of "voters remorse" and you want to justify it by limiting freedom of speech. Now you have to live with the consequences of your decision, as do the rest of us, and all of our children and grandchildren.

The letters attacking the President have been over the top, be honest. Talk policies in an informed, educated way. That does not mean basing them on Ruse/Hannity/Beck, because their purpose is to be outrageous, leading to more ad revenue for them.

Republicans can't attack Obama on anything important because they did a lot of the same things while they were in power.
Big spending (two wars, tax cuts, Medicare D)
civil liberties (habeus corpus, patriot act)
lack of transparency
Expands power of the executive branch (signing statements).
So now if Obama
spends (stimulus)
attacks civil lberties (prolonged detention)
has a lack of transparency (photos, visitor lists) expands power to the executive branch(census, czars).
So now republicans can only be petty or hypocrtical, becuse they are guility of many of the same things.
Everyone seems to miss the disturbing similairties, and the direction the two party system is leading us.

I say let the far right scream, holler and writhe in pain, and in print even. We all have the right to free speech. However, the GOP should know of it's extreme irrelevance. It is dead and gone. They haven't got a single person they could use as a poster child that Moe Howard wouldn't be more respectable than. Or Buddy Hackett.
They are blind to the complete idiocy of the 8 Bush years...the lies, the cover-ups, the lining of the fat cat's pockets. The total disregard for "government by the people", and their "government by and for the rich people".
They have a chance to make up for Bush,but they offer up a lunatic octogenarian and a ditzy broad.
Well done GOP.
Go ahead and keep on crying. It's going to be a long 8 years for you.

Stop, please!
Did anyone ever stop long enough to think that maybe those 2 parties may both be wrong?!!!
Most people are like children simply amused by watching a Punch & Judy show, each one knocking around the other.
Meanwhile, never realizing the entire show is being controlled by a single puppeteer?!!!
Think about it.
Don't be a Sheeple.

I am a regular reader and participant in the Deseret News comment boards, and I'm sitting here wondering what letters this person is talking about. The vast majority of letters & responses I've seen on here from conservatives have been lukewarm at best in their Bush support, but usually critical of Bush's mistakes as they take on far, far bigger mistakes shaping up under Obama & the Democract Congress.

Bush is NOT a darling of the right, people. He stopped being that a long time ago. Why do you think he was stared out of office by below-30% approval ratings? Or why his father plummeted 40 points prior to his defeat by Clinton?

Unlike liberals, conservatives are famously independent when it comes to supporting their national leaders-we abandon them fast when they mess up. Why do you think Clinton never fell below 50% during his IMPEACHMENT, of all times? Because lefties blindly hung on to "their" guy. If Clinton were a Republican, he would've been kicked to hte curb by those independent-minded conservatives like he should have.

I disagree with your premise. Conservatives consistently have pushed their positions and criticized previous administrations, they were betrayed by the perscription drug bill, and on and on. So are you saying that now we are suppose to roll over and shut up while our country is being further destroyed? Third parties are virtually impossible due to the structuring put in place by the two party system. It's the choice of a really bad actor and a so-so bad actor. We can still at least make that choice, unless we get a Venezualen and Honduras solution and leftist dictatorship is established.

The writer's blind spot apparently prevents him from seeing that he is a mirror image of the people he now complains about.

It will be a longer 8 years for you. Conservatives know when they have been had. Liberals go on singing their giddy love songs long after the moon has gone down and they are deserted and betrayed in total darkness.

Bush took us to the edge. Obama pushed us over the cliff. I'll send disparaging letters about Obama any time I want to. After all there is this little thing called the First Amendment. Democrats frequently forget that Amendment exists and whine and complain that we can't say anything bad about the Savior Obama. Well go and cry about it some more and remember we can say whatever we want, about whomever we want, whenever we want.

To "Equal time | 7:51 a.m." you thought that the Bush administration was bad for 8 years. I will give you that during the firs 6, it was like watching drunken sailors on shore leave. However, if you say that since Bush left office things are better, you forget that for the last 2 years of Bush's term, the Democrats were in charge of Congress. They were the ones who created and passed all the bad legislation during the past 2 years.

In other words, both the Democrats and Republicans are bad. We need to vote all of them out of office, not just "the other guy".
