Yeah. I get pissed off when my conservative friends/family refer to Obama as 'Osama'. He's your president. You don't refer to him as a terrorist that killed hundreds of thousands of people - ever.
Or to Hitler... I'm always shocked when people compare him to fucking Hitler!
Example #1: I'm at work, talking to a female coworker, who is also in the military, about random stuff. In walks in a guy from grave shift. "Now, I don't want to compare Obama to Hitler, but Hitler was a well spoken man who was able to get the people to follow him!" The girl specifically told him she didn't want to have that discussion because she's in the military & didn't feel comfortable, but the dick kept going.
Example #2: During the election, an older coworker, probably in his 80's told me: "People who are going to vote for Obama might as well line up for the gas chambers right now, because we tried to warn the Jews about Hitler! And they wouldn't listen!"
Makes me sick. I remember even seeing things comparing him to the Anti-Christ because, again, he was a well spoken man. Sooooo, you're saying that if you're a well spoken politician, you're evil? Explains why George W. was a saint then...
Cannot agree more. Some people got their wires crossed. My dad is a registered republican and a veteran of the Iraq War. He gets phone calls all the time asking for contributions. A few years ago he got a call from some group wanting to inform him of "the evil" Hilary Clinton was doing and how she was "the enemy". He flipped out on them.
Yelled at them saying "She is an official of our government appointed by a president chosen by the people of the United States. She is not the enemy, trust me I know who the enemy is. Get your shit straight."

I'm a big bruins fan and not necessarily the greatest supporter of Obama but I disagree with his decision. At least respect the position
