Lindsay Graham: Obama speech beneath dignity of office

[WI_DEM]

Graham, however, also criticized Obama.

"I was incredibly disappointed in the tone of his speech," Graham said. "At times I found his tone to be overly combative and believe he behaved in a manner beneath the dignity of the office. I fear his speech tonight has made it more difficult - not less - to find common ground."

piece of shit

[phantom power]

2. Waaaaaaaaaaaah!

:rofl:

[Vickers]

3. You don't matter any more, Lindsey.

So sit down, shut up, and let the adults fix things.

[marmar]

4. Lindsey, dont go away mad. Lindsey, just go away.

Just go sit down and shut the fuck up.

[Mudoria]

5. I'm sure he found Bush's lying about Iraq and WMD's before Congress

to be both uplifting and upholding the dignity of the office. Please shut up Senator Graham.

[ixion]

6. "I'm G. W. Bush. Now pull my finger..."

dignity of the office my arse. I was unimpressed with the proposal, but the speech itself was better than any speech Bush ever gave. Ever.

[Taverner]

7. "We don't like those uppity black folks - even if they are commander in chief"

[bushisanidiot]

8. Shut up and sit down, Graham! Your guy lost, so WE have the podium.

you don't like it, too fucking BAD!

[Metta]

9. Is that because Geo. Bush was sooo accommodating and conciliatory?

:toast:

[SoFlaJet]

10. But of course it's perfectly alright for senators and congressmen

to out and out fucking LIE for a month and a half at town hall meetings-but NOT OK to call them on their bullshit-fuck you Lindsey and fuck your asshole brother John McCain who was making the same kind of bullshit statements last night on Larry King

[rbrnmw]

11. Lindsey has to steal some of the

Wilson/Sanford spotlight none of them can't stand to see the other getting more attention be it good or bad. They really are like children in that and so many other respects

[stillrockin]

12. Lindsey: I can live with your disappointment. Oh yeah, and you can kiss my ass.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

13. Graham lecturing others about dignity.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[hedgehog]

14. I can understand why Lindsay is upset - he was caught out on

camera last night unsure whether he was supposed to applaud or not.

[BurtWorm]

24. I saw that.

Lindsey spreading the hands then--when he realized no one on his side of the aisle was going to applaud common sense--bringing them together in the ol' hand-wipe ploy. Highly arious!

:rofl:

[kenny blankenship]

15. His predecessor took a GIANT DUMP on the dignity of the office by telling 1000 lies in his '03 SOTU

Remember that tall tale George W. Bush told the world about all of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction ? Remember the thousands of this and tens thousands of that --the VX, the botulinin, the yellow cake, the aluminum tubes and the "nukyukur" capacity? January 28th, 2003: a day that will live in infamy. Because of that Hitlerian episode, the "dignity of the office" you're so concerned about may never recover in our lifetimes.

Go fuck yourself, Lindsey.

[BlooInBloo]

16. BlooInBloo: Graham beneath the dignity of humanity.

[still_one]

17. mr. grahm, who celebrated the racist good old days when honoring strom thrumond /nt

[Democrats_win]

18. Graham cracker's comments were written in 1978: same old GOP line.

Only with a different president in mind. That's an old GOP strategy to say that the Democrat is undignified. Then Ronnie Reagan with his angry bag of manure, including lies about Welfare queens, supposedly brought dignity to the office.

Republicans continue to pull this sh*t day after day, year after year, decade after decade. Enough!

[eShirl]

19. Is he daft?

Or just another histrionic Republican?

[dgibby]

20. I don't recall Lindsey saying anything critical about Cheney

when he told Lehey to go fuck himself.

[nc4bo]

21. And I wonder what planet does this idiot Senator live on?

Hell I wonder what speech he was listening to because only if Obama said "we're gonna ram HR676 right up your asses" then I see absolutely nothing that could have possibly been taken as "combative".

Asshat supreme.

[Shandris]

22. This is just more in the ever-growing stack of proofs that...

...there IS NO meeting the other side on 'common ground'. Yet President Obama seems insistent on working with his 'Republican Friends' (quote from last night) on these bills. I realize that the catchphrase 'bi-partisan' is something everyone pays lip service to, but why the HELL are we the only party that actually takes the time to try and get it, sacrificing not just our political goals but the PEOPLE THOSE GOALS WOULD HELP along the wayside with it?! It's goddamn infuriating!

Everywhere I look these days all I see are these batshit crazy Republicans talking about how they wanna 'take back their country' and 'you damn liberals will be hiding in caves next time we get power' and 'we're going to hunt you down' and 'its time to water the tree'. And people expect us to take a civil tone with these barbarian bastards! FUCK THEM! :grr:

OBAMA'S tone was a disappointment?! Yet these ignorant fuckers and their sycophants are showing up at speeches with military-grade combat weaponry and talking about killing liberals? WTF?!?!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. STFU, Lindsay

Nobody gives a shit what you think.

[laughingliberal]

25. After the batshit crazy spew coming from them all summer?

Incredible!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

26. on fox just now, he called the speech a "disaster"

12:17 pm.

he was offended by the "tone" of the speech.

joe wilson will be just fine and the dems won't take over his seat.

so says lindsey "i got 2 rugs for 5 dollars" graham.
