Sgt Schultz. Alive and well on this MB.
I'm sorry, but I am not seeing the similarities between disgusting pictures some random people posted on social media compared to images flashed across main media channels during times of the day children are present in the room.
I understand, you guys love arguing just for the sake of it, but c'mon...

If you didn't see or hear any racial, sickening, disparaging things about Obama, in prose or in cartoons, you most certainly have selective viewing and hearing.
It's the outrage , justified by the way, being shown now. But the " I never saw anything bad" about BO that tells me it's either ignorance or...well just plain ignorance.

This isn't a partisan issue in my eyes. It is sick either way.
By the way, I am not outraged by the Griffin thing. Like I said earlier, I find it kind of funny that she felt she could get away it and it backfired so badly for her. Also, I don't believe for a minute that Barron Trump actually saw the image, but do applaud the administration for making a story out of it.
Just more proof the left can't be honest about a single thing.
Everything an exaggeration, and misrepresentation.
The creators of alternate reality. Again, it's the only place the ideology survives. It certainly can't survive honest debate.
There was never a "Kathy Griffin" moment with 0bama.
Never.
You can point to some backwoods backwards person who said or did things in their own little vaccum, but it's not even close to the same reach and impact.
But then, if folks were intelligent enough to understand that, the obvious wouldn't have to be explained.
In their world, common sense doesn't exist.

Agreed.
Baron should move to DC so he could at least get some family values at his early, learning age. A two parent family is an important institution in today's world. His father should have an active role in this young ones life.
I'm assuming school is out for summer, so I guess he will move in with mom n dad soon.
As for DJT and BO....these two have more dislike towards them from a personal level vs the dislike of their policies.
My two cents is, one was arrogant and aloof. One is narcisstic and a goof.

Really? It matters only when it's a " Kathy Griffin moment" ?
The cartoons, insults, birther claims, father the Kenyan remarks, him being a Muslim....god..I could go on forever.
Savage, Limbaugh, Beck, et al have more followers than Griffin. I guess you never tuned in to them ( rolls eyes)
Yes, backwoods indeed.
Who was it who said..I love the uneducated? Slipped my mind who uttered those thought provoking comments.
He should have included selective memory. Must be a symptom of the alt right Bannon types.
The mentally ill can go on forever. It's not about truth. It's about imagination and emotion, and not logic and reality.

You are assuming that anyone here that may have seen those images ignored them.
I did see the last one and I took the exact same stance. It was disgusting, inappropriate and tasteless yet I still support the right to post it no matter how repulsive it is.

He is only 11. He will become acclimated. Before it is all said and done, Harvard will give him free admission as they did Malia Obama. Barron will be fine.
The average person saw none of those images of 0bama.
The average person knows about the Griffin stunt.
The difference shouldn't need to be explained. Unless of course, you are a registered Democrat.
I'm wagering our friends here are, in fact, registered Democrats. Which, would explain the disconnect.

Man, there is no one better than you at whistling past the graveyard.
You just keep digging deeper and deeper. "The average person saw none of these images of Obama." Hahahahaha ... and you have the gall to talk about intelligence, mental health, etc.
The people you deal with must be real "slow". The only person you're fooling is yourself. It's not healthy to lie to oneself.

Truth hurts. Keep laughing yourself all the way to a mental facility.

You're very good at projecting. And I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn.
You are one insecure dude.
Don't worry folks! Kathy Griffin's most famous image is already being scrubbed. Get your copy before Google hoovers them all up.

Per usual, you never participated in a debate you won.
The images are unacceptable no matter who it is. The difference was access and distribution.
But carry on with your infantile fit. It suits you.

There will always be "mysterious" leaks, they will never disappear.

The Obama kids were younger.
But either way. They should all be left out of any politics.

I could post more, but you use the term mental , mental facility, mentally ill quite a bit.
It does suggest " mental" issues in itself.
You claim it's a democratic thing. Some may think it's a alt right Steve Bannon wannabe thing.
Opinions. They're out there.

I don't throw the term around lightly. I have family who are mentally ill, so I see the signs.
You are correct, it exists on both ends of the spectrum. I was referring to specific examples I see here.
I've also been politically on both sides of the spectrum. The extremes of both are awful. That's why I refuse to affiliate with either party. However, I do see one obviously more destructive than the other - though it's as much career politicians as it is a left/right issue, getting rich in politics and the subsequent corruption affects them all. It's simple economics. You can't spend what you don't have, and every bill comes due. Unfortunately most are happy bilking the taxpayers and leaving a mess for someone else and someone else's children to deal with.
There has been a "normalization" of the extremes, however. Plus, most who call themselves "moderates" are anything but.
Maybe that's why there's "no difference" in some folks' eyes. They're more OK with it because it's Trump and perhaps secretly (or not secretly) they were amused and pleased by the imagery.

IF you have family members with mental illness, your quips are doing them no favors.
