    Nope, again, this would be you. I'm quite calm.

    You all disgust me.

    Am I happy with the election result? No. Do I see hypocrisies present in both sides? All the time. Do I bring them up? Sometimes, but not last night and not now.

    I had hoped that after this election, being without the disputes that marred that of 2000 and to a lesser extent 2004, we'd be able to band together and support our President-elect, soon to be President, and hope that he'd do a fine job in leading the country. Instead, I check the Backroom today and I find 3 or 4 threads of the same old trollish as if nothing has changed.

    Come on, conservatives, we're better than this. The country means more than winning an argument or feeling better.

    Will you please stop trying to be mature, gracious and and and reasonable! Heaven forbid it might rub off on some.

    Meet the new chimp, same as the old chimp.

    What's the big deal with chimp? Yes, it may have been used as a racist term, but in this instance it's clearly not the case. I my opinion people should be allowed to call him anyway they want. They can call him chimp, gorilla, polar bear, panda, black bear, great white shark...

    It's clear that this is not the case of racism. People may use derogatory terms when referring to him because they don't like him, because they believe he will be worse than Bush, because they believe they're clairvoyant and think that they know he'll be worse then Bush or because they're just being mean. If Obama (or any other politician) isn't ready for that, he should have stayed out of politics. People have a right to have a bad opinion about him, even though he's still not in the office... It is silly to do that, but hey, everyone's entitled to an opinion.

    The man is not even in the door of his new gaff and already there is a flame war on here.

    He only deserves to be criticised when he actually is in office an he is doing stupid things he aint done any things in office yet so criticism is a bit premature.

    An bringing up Bush does not count cos two wrongs don't make it right if yer annoyed Obama won thats is your problem apparently millions of americans had no such problem and from the looks of the electoral map they were everywhere.
    They slew him with poison afaid to meet him with the steel

    Yes please close the thread, obviously one side of the political spectrum is completely unable to look in a mirror.
    RIP Tosa

    A) If you are going to call him the President Chimp you will have to distinguish him from the other one much like Bush Snr vs Jr.

    B) Digs and insults should were possible be original and relevant to the candidate. Bush gets called Shrub... that is both, he also gets called a Chimp because it is relevant to his mannerisms and speech impediment (I think it is rude because he is obviously intelligent but has communication problems).

    C) Don't use insults that have any religious or racial connotations for the candidate in question. Sure you can call Bush a Chimp because of his mannerisms, but because of prior racial statements calling a man who identifies himself as African+American has racist connotations. Like calling Conny Chung...Ms Ching or some other thing that could dubiously be seen as racist.

    Thread closed, please think and come up with witty remarks that have no racist double meanings attached.
