Religious Right Slams Obama for F-Bomb Inaction

[DemoTex]

One downside of becoming president after eight years of White House control by the other party is that you get stuck having to defend an awful lot of "shit" left behind by your predecessor. Pardon our language, but in President Barack Obama's case, this applies rather literally to a move by the Bush administration years ago to crack down on profanity on broadcast TV. Now, the Obama administration faces the decision of continuing the Bush team's indecency crusade—or saying, well, screw it. And social conservative groups are ramping up a campaign declaring that Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder don't care about F-bombing the nation's children. (More at MotherJones)

Obama's middle finger speaks for me to the religious right: F-bomb 'em!

:rofl:

[sinkingfeeling]

1. I thought Cheney had already F-bombed the children.

[polichick]

2. imo the religious right can shove its self-righteousness up its ass.

[Puzzler]

3. I thought they didn't like big government?

So:

- government regulation of the airwaves = good

- government regulation of the health insurance industry = bad

[Mz Pip]

4. I don't know what they are complaining about

The only time I ever hear the "F-bomb" is on premium cable shows that aren't appropriate for children anyway. who would let their 7 year old watch Dexter or The Wire even without the "F-bomb?"

5. Huh. So, an entertainer dropping the F bomb is bad, but effing children for real by cutting social

safety nets is fine and dandy? Ok, I do not understand these people AT ALL.

11. Shallow, thoughtless people. --nt

6. Yet when Cheney, Wolfowitz, Bushie, Rumsfeld, and others in the GOP admin

said it, they were strangely silent.

7. Fuck em'. nt

[Kerrytravelers]

8. This kind of nonsense by the rw is why we don't get anything done.

Now the President of the United States of America is responsible for taking a ruler and smacking the hands of anyone who says a naughty word? Really? Seriously? Collapsing infrastructure? Nah. Multiple military actions around the world? Puh-lese. A woefully inept health care system? Not a problem. A recession? Child's play. But uh-oh words? Now that is what is really important.

9. These people are never going to vote for Obama anyway.

Let 'em rant.

We're talking about people who get upset when someone uses the word "uterus" in a session of congress. We can't cater to them. They're ridiculous. Let them fume.

[Welibs]

10. Would someone please teach the religious right how to change the channel!

They don't know how to use a remote???

[toddwv]

12. Tell them to go fuck themselves

[nykym]

13. Sounds like a good candidate for a

discretionary spending cut!!

[FiveGoodMen]

14. ...and then returns to it's regularly scheduled activity of Sucking Satan's Cock

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. Obama has utterly failed to stand up to California Peggy's F-Bomb mayhem.

Impeach!
