12. Come on now, the French are cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
Not revolutionaries.

Get with the program, Komrade.

4. I got a brief, mild chuckle and don't share your outrage at all. It could mean Obama was joking.
Thanks for posting it anyway.

6. I'm not outraged.
I just fail to see the humor in this. And I'm a funny guy.

5. Not at all. What I find funny is
how, during the eight years * was President, any criticism or jokes about the president was considered unpatriotic by the Repukes. Now the tables have turned, and Obama is President, they will stoop to any level to make jokes about him, even racist ones. Hypocrites, the whole lot of 'em.

11. I don't really get it.
Is there a stereotype that non-Christians have a tendency to behead other people?

When I think of beheading, the first thing that comes to mind is the French Revolution, not Obama.

15. Yes, right-wingers associate beheading with Muslims.
Racist right-wingers.

20. Oh yes, they sure do associate Muslims with beheading.
Not all non-Christians, but Muslims in particular. Absolutely they do.

14. The issue isn't funny.
The joke is a little funny. If you like horrible racist jokes.

17. Not funny from a bunch who killed about a million Iraqis and about 5K Americans, not to mention
refugees, orphans, and wounded/maimed on both sides.

22. Humour is funny when it punches through to an emotional truth not an emotional lie.

Dumb as a sack of hammers, though.
