How much do they hate Obama?

Congressional Republicans have acted shocked and offended at Democrats’ suggestions that they are intentionally sabotaging the economy to try to win back the White House in 2012. Republicans have refused to pass President Obama’s jobs plan — which experts estimate will create at least 1.9 million jobs — and proposed an alternative plan that Moody’s says “will likely push the economy back into recession.”

Now influential Tea Party leaders are throwing caution to the wind and openly lobbying business owners to stop hiring in order to hurt Obama politically. This week, Right Wing Watch picked up on a message Tea Party Nation sent to their members from conservative activist Melissa Brookstone.

In a rambling letter titled “Call For A Strike of American Small Businesses Against The Movement for Global Socialism,” Brookstone urges businesses “not hire a single person” to protest “this new dictator”:

1. Melissa who? Probably another grifter, looking for 15 minutes of fame.

The Rethug Party is full of them. Booksellers Cain and Palin, for example.

3. I told a friend the other day that money is on strike in this country

In this upside down world, big money got together, colluded and decided to just quit hiring.
I would say this is just a public statement to let those not already aware that not hiring is what is expected.
This is definitely a sign of class warfare.

8. That's the big secret no one wants to talk about

For all the screaming about communism and socialism, the moneyed classes and boardrooms across America practice it much better than we ever could in protecting their interests

7. Repubs, Teabaggers, Right wings, conservatives, etc.

hate Obama more than they love the U.S. Indeed it is an Ayn Rand limited & skewed, biased view of reality. IMHO it is a mental illness that feeds & breeds hatred. It is a sociopathy that lacks empathy and even the smallest concern for another person. They take the liberty of distorting reality whenever necessary to maintain the "objectivism" touted by Rand. Yet when it comes to their own survival that objectivism is shrugged without a blink of the eye. They totally lack the ability to come out of their self.
It is a true hatred. Their actions, such as the ones described above are true evil.

10. "... Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

“In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949)
I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men.


Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

Quotation: Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to
watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trails

9. Well, The GOP is supplying a huge amount of anti GOP campaign ads for themselves. Obama will crucify

them with it.

'global socialism'. They are going to leave "the people" no choice.
