To a DUmmie mind, that's provocation enough for war...how dare they insult their God.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I expect there will be a thundering silence about this on DU.

Yeah, but the Iranians aren't Christian Republicans, so there will be no outrage.

Iranian demonstrators burned photographs of Barack Obama today as they protested against America’s inaction over Gaza.

Dozens of people gathered in Tehran waving Palestinian flags and defacing and setting fire to images of the President-elect.

Iranian demonstrators have often burned effigies or pictures of US presidents in the past but this appeared to be the first time Mr Obama’s picture had been defaced, a week before his inauguration as president.





This is obviously, merely the Iranian squad of Useful Idiots doing there thing. While they should have, in all fairness, given Obama at least 72 hours to lower the ocean levels and heal the world I do have to chuckle at the whole "Bush who?" of it all. fwiw- These knuckeheads were insane long before Bush and will be insane long after Obama. I would however, like to see the DUers trying to wrap their heads around this.

Yeah, the whole world loves Barack. He'll bring Iran to the table for talks. Afterall, nothing says love like flaming effigys and tire prints.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I don't like this one little bit. Even if Barack Hussein Obama is a Kenyan usurper, he still America's Kenyan usurper. Islamic countries are going to be harder on him because they think he's a heretic and a darker Carter update.

However, they aren't hating Bush anymore (well, not nearly as much as before), so they might complain a bit once they realize this.

However this should bring home to the incoming administration that it is not just a matter of the whole world hating Bush; that not everyone buys into the hopeychangey nonsense and that they have some tough decisions to make.

Not at all.  They'll blame Bush for this.  They'll say he's damaged our image so badly that they just automatically assume that Barack will be like him.  Why accept that your world views are wrong when you can just blame it on Bush?

I see the DUmp blaiming a lot of the next 4 years **** ups on Bush.

Yes this is exactly what I was thinking.  Anything Obama can't do or doesn't do or has a bad reaction from the world on it will be blamed on Bush's 8 years in office and how O has been set up to fail because of how bad Bush made it for so long.  NO matter what happens somehow things will always tie back to Bush.  It is the only way Libs know how justify failure on their own part.  Heaven forbid anyone in that party actually take responsibility for their own actions or mistakes. :whatever:

With the Dummies, and libs in general, I agree.......but the American public has a  VERY short political memory.......just look at 9/11 as an example, and the WOT in general.  GWB made speech after speech conveying the message that these things would be long-term, yet the public grew weary, and his approval ratings began a continuous decline.

I suggest that with the public in general, after the messiah's first year in office, he will "own" the situation, where ever we happen to be at the time.....

Clearly this is the result of Obama's preferred interogation techniques of tickling their bare feet with feathers and threatening to release them in Dertoit.  It CAN'T BE that they just flat out hate America.

youtube routinely bans/deletes any pro-Jewish/Israel videos, yet they allow videos showing anti-semitic and anti-Bush content remain.
