But wait, he’s a DEMOCRAT. I didn’t think they were so intollerant of people’s weight. What a mean old man; but I guess that’s typical of democrats.

Lawyer up against the party of trial lawyers you poor little children. Everything is someone else’s fault, it’s the way of the child. You democrats deserve each other.

Iran is in turmoil, the unemployment rate is sharply down suddenly, Korea is making threats and developing plutonium, we are still at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and you post this nonsense? Is this your answer to the cheating Senator from Nevada? “Hey, look, readers…Republicans may be unfaithful hypocrites but Dems are mean to kids”!

It’s this way Chief:

The left-wing Marxixt WACKJOB DEMOCRATZ are the one’s who tazer old ladies, make hateful remarks on TV about polite 14 year old girls and who scream “FATSO” at someones child.

The LEFT-WING MARXIST WACKJOB DEMOCRATZ are the ones who do these HATEFUL things.

The conservatives are the ones who tell the world about it and who expose the LEFT WING DEMOCRATZ HYPOCRISY.

So why dont’t you move along and do what your WACKJOB LEFT-WING friends do when they suffer mental confusion: Take all your clothes of and go for a ride on your bike.

Tell me this you leftie screwball, how come we’re still at war in Iraq? I thought Iraq was just some Bush scam.

How come your little President Obama (The Human Fly Swatter) hasn’t got us out of there?

Meanwhile some two-bit Democrat Obama cult mayor is running around in a crazed frenzy beating up little kids.

THE LEFT STINKS.

Pencey,
The reason that we are still in Iraq is the very simple reason (maybe you can comprehend it) that it is far easier to get into a war than it is to get out of one. At least this president is trying to do that…unlike the last one!

peter c   June 18th, 2009 - 12:39 pm

Wait a minute! These punks kids were at fault here..This Mayor stood up to them and stopped the fight.If he called a kid Fattso so what. The kid is fat…a fat loser. This PC sh@t is just ridiculous. ARE WE TO POLITLY ASK THE ROBBER TO STOP? Is calling a guy “low life” who rapes your daughter a PC crime?
Are we to not believe our eyes?
Being a Dem or Republican has nothing to do with this.
What is a crimne is that these kids were not taught to respect their follow man…especially their elders by their lazy parents. But, in stead of calling a rose a rose and calling these punk kids at fault people are worried about using “Fattso”? Wake up people.These kids deserved to be put down a few levels so they can ..maybe …think about how they act..

peter c: I’m sick of liberal hypocracy and doublestandards. They would like people to think they are more civilized and more tolerant than others. I actually agree that he did the right thing.

Really? How?

He isn’t shrinking forces in Iraq. He agreed to enforce Bush’s original withdrawal plan BUT hedged on actually withdrawing all troops.

Also, he is planning on increasing our presence in Afghanistan.

So (maybe you can comprehend) Obama is more militarily active than Bush was when he left office.

Professor Dick Zucker   June 18th, 2009 - 1:34 pm

Fatso? He’d have been better off just calling a spade a spade.

Get real!   June 18th, 2009 - 2:09 pm

Wow! “Obama is more militarily active than Bush was when he left office”. That must mean that he is protecting us from our enemies. You know…fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here, right? And Afghanistan is and was always where the fight should have been all along. Iraq was a needless and costly side show.

“Iraq was a needless and costly side show.”

Says who, you and Keith Olbermann. There’s a team of thinkers.

By the way, don’t the LEFT-WING WACKJOBS have a standard response to things? Don’t you dweeblers usually just take your clothes off and go for a bike ride?

Or is the left spending more time these days, molesting 14 year old girls on TV and swatting flies?

Davidtoo   June 19th, 2009 - 7:10 pm

I think it is OK to call a kid “fatso” if he is, in fact, fat. The fact that this guy was trying to get the fat kid’s attention is to be commended. I’m a conservative and I believe it is OK (and constitutionally protected) to call somebody what they actually are. If a person is a “dumb-ass” then it may actually benefit them to call them that. This was not a group hug session. This was an attempt to take control of a situation where “fatsos” were running rampant.
