N.C. Republican Legislator Posts Image Calling Obama ‘Islamic Son Of A B*tch’ (IMAGES)

Michael Speciale, Representative for House District 3 at North Carolina’s General Assembly, recently posted a terribly ignorant meme depicting Benjamin Netanyahu speaking condescendingly to our President, calling him an “Islamic son of a b*tch.”

A copy of the image is provided here, in case the legislator removes it from his facebook page because of it hitting the news.

Michael Speciale Meme

Anti Obama Islamophobic Meme: Photo: Facebook

As of this moment, the picture is still on Rep. Speciale’s facebook page.

This is an elected leader, using Islamophobia to slander our sitting president. We have been hearing this for 6 years and 239 days, not counting pre-election season. Will it ever end?

Birtherism and Islamophobia are nothing new to Republicans, but generally it has been kept to the public and less espoused by actual elected officials. There have been the non-answers such as “I will have to take him at his word,” when it comes to Obama’s citizenship. However, this bigoted meme is beyond the pale considering it comes from an actual public servant.

The person responsible for this, Rep. Michael Speciale (R) N.C., had this response to his own post after he began getting some negative attention. Clearly he thinks this is something to brag about.

Michael Speciale: I find it interesting how many liberals pretend that they are offended by this post, yet they have no problem with Obama destroying the very fabric of this nation. These same folks didn’t appear fazed when some of the most vitriolic garbage was being spewed by their fellow liberals at President Bush! It must also be a slow news day at wnct and the news and observer, since they think this is a story today. Obama will end up as the worst President in history, and it will be a result of his performance, and none of my Facebook posts can be blamed!

Worst President in history? That is a pipe dream for every Republican. He has already achieved more than any American president since at least the 70s.

@POTUS Just Reminded The Entire World Why No Republican Can Do His Job (TWEETS)

  • Marilyn Boeldt

    If you have to call people names to make your point maybe you need to reconsider your point.

  • GHY1

    Conservatives and republicans are losing ground in this country and that is why they are misbehaving more and more it is like a losing sports team that keeps loosing to the same team they eventually get frustrated and start bending the rules to extremes and start fighting

  • Willow Silverhawk

    I keep thinking I can’t possibly be more disgusted by the right wing — and every day they prove me wrong.

    • jesse anderson

      Why? Because our current president completely disregards our Constitution and therefore our American ideals. He will go down in history as our worst president ever. He has no interest other than wealth distribution and the restriction of our freedoms.

      • Wayne Rizor

        My, my, my. It is amazing how stupid some people are. Like lemmings they will follow their demented propaganda right over the edge of a cliff, never questioning the content or the source. Ignorance can be fixed, but stupid is forever!

        • jesse anderson

          Typical Liberal response, I guess I shouldn’t have such high expectations. When presented with facts Liberals take personal shots. No real substance and it’s not their fault; they just react to what they hear on the news. And why not? How important could actually doing due diligence and reviewing both sides actually be?

          By the way I’m neither Republican nor Democrat. I’m an American that doesn’t like the illegal implementation of regulations by a non-American.

          • Wayne Rizor

            The fact that you would use the term non-American is proof of your racism, low intellect and that you follow the propaganda of the birthers.

          • jesse anderson

            How is that racist? Calling someone non-american because they don’t abide by the constitution and wasn’t born in America is racist? I really need your help with that one.

          • Wayne Rizor

            It is simple, When GWB committed war crimes (see the Geneva Convention) you didn’t raise your voice over his use of torture. The Geneva Convention is a treaty that we are signatory to and according to the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause it becomes the law of the land and is punishable under U.S. Federal and State law. You’ll never see GWB or Cheney go to Europe because they will be arrested and tried for war crimes. If you treat the black guy differently from how you treated the white guy, you are racist! Plus, never in this country’s history has a political party attempted to deny a president his birthright, his legitimacy, their cooperation in running the country and their outright treasonous behavior in communicating with foreign leaders, which is against our rules of law as it undermines the Presidency.

          • jesse anderson

            How did George W. come into this? I never brought that up and you don’t know my thoughts on him. So….your racist remark has no basis but in your own made up imagination. Don’t assume things.

          • Wayne Rizor

            Precedent….Have you ever heard of precedent? You allowed GWB to get away with committing a series of criminal acts, yet you criticize Obama for doing his legal job. How many times has the GOP voted to cancel Obamacare? The Supreme Court has found it to be Constitutional, yet the GOP continues to fight it. Even to the extent that it has deliberately shut down our government. You’re on the wrong side of history and don’t even realize it and will continue to be wrong until you view reality in an unbiased viewpoint. When you reject the crimes of GWB, you reject the reality of what the GOP has come to represent, something with deeper fascist roots than the GOP.

          • jesse anderson

            What are you talking about?

            You brought up George W. You were calling me racist, now where are you going with this?

            I never said anything about President Bush or whatever accusations have been brought against him? You did.

            Like I said you made assumptions of my views and called me racist. You used your imagination to paint an incorrect picture of me. Do you understand what I’m saying?

          • e brent gingell

            could you give us examples of him breaking the constitution?

          • Chris19741949

            Non-American? Uh, Jesse, darlin, I dislike having to tell you this, but Obama was born in Hawaii, which just happens to be a state, and was a state when he was born. You would think after 7 years you birthers would have given up your fantasy and gone home. And one more thing, you have yet to enumerate the rights you have lost in the last 7 years, and also how the President has not “abided” by the Constitution. Still waiting.

          • Epoch1

            You do understand that you don’t have to be actually born in America to be an American citizen right? If one of your parents are American… so are you… even if you were born on an iceberg at the north pole.

          • Don

            Jesse, if you really wish to participate be it from a particular position or in general, I have just one piece of advice for you.

            State the documented facts, references and then your opinion. You were asked for specifics many times. If you do not tighten the scope of your discussion, especially on line, your discussion will go in the direction of wherever the majority of posters choose.

            Your original thought or question, comment or concern is long lost and then once again, your opinion becomes of no further relevance. I fear that no matter your position, your emotions are driving your judgements on information instead of your intellect.

            I wish you well, I may not agree with you, however you have the right to present you opinion. I am only offering you a suggestion.

          • jesse anderson

            Great! thanks everyone this is perfect for my study. Out of all the responses. 1 person was rational and reasonable. Thanks Don. I don’t get much different from the other side more or less the same. The only real difference is they don’t do personal attacks. Have fun everyone.

            Thanks Don for being an American. :)

            apparently, you are suffering from the illusion that illegal immigration started when Obama took office. maybe if you studied a little history, you’d know that there have been illegal immigrants coming here ever since the pilgrims landed on plymouth rock, and the problem is no worse under Obama that it was under his predecessor. to try to lay that at his feet is the height of stupidity. if he really was a dictator, like you think he is, he’d wave his magic wand and solve all our problems. but, unfortunately, he has to put up with a congress that has gone out of it’s way to obstruct everything he has tried to do — and in spite of that-he’s still given us a growing economy, a shrinking deficit, millions of people with health insurance who didn’t have it before, etc.

          • jesse anderson

            Where is illegal immigration coming from? I never said that. I also never said he was a dictator.

            Where are your comments coming from?

          • lmb0705

            Maybe he is bringing it up b/c you only make a vague comment. He has been accused of all the problems….illegal immigration, healthcare, Gun rights, foreign policy, energy etc, etc. He needs to be able to work with both senate and congress. Congress has fought him every step of the way from the very beginning. Mitchell McConnell made it VERY clear, the congress was going to make him a one term President. Didn’t work. Birtherism isn’t alive and full of cancer. So give it a rest! BTW…..what WILL you do if Dr. Ben Carson runs and maybe wins????

          • Epoch1

            You packed a whole truckload of stupid into your very small and extremely stupid posts comments.

          • Jim Farrell

            Well, if he’s not abiding by the Constitution, he must be making his own rules. Isn’t that what dictators do?

          • Stanley E. Woods

            One undeniable fact is that the 1% (wealthiest citizens) income has risen dramatically while the middle class disappears and the poor are ‘made’ poorer.

          • jesse anderson

            True, which is why it’s so curious that the majority of 1%ers donate to the Democrats.
            Probably because they realize the social programs create a caste system and the Democrats regulate everything creating barriers of entry for new startups. Giving the wealthiest the ability to create the oligopolies that they have.

            the pills only work if you take them consecutively. gl with all that.

          • jesse anderson

            That’s fact….so….yeah I’ll leave you with that.

          • Stanley E. Woods

            The caste system has been in place forever and is not soon to change. However, people can improve their lives with jobs that pay fair wages and jobs that are somewhat protected from CEOS who take all of the money.
            Regulations are in effect to preserve the health of the earth and the worker. Without them we would have out of control emissions, hazardous waste dumping, and coal runnoff, not to mention unsafe working conditions. A direct result of deregulation is more often than not, increased pollution, record profits with decreased wages. This is not to say all deregulation is bad but conservatives do not compromise. Since Pres. Obama has been in office he has been the most disrespected president ever. From day 1, the Republican leadership vowed to not support anything this administration proposed. Now that the far right has taken control of the Republican party, there is only their way or the highway. Pure hate and fear mongering rule the day and facts are obscured or simply not recognized. We are in better shape than in the Bush presidencies but that fact is convienently ignored in favor of war mongering, immigrationphobia, stoneage womens rights proposals, and increasing disparity between the wealthy and the middle class.
            .

            You havn’t presented any facts. Learn what a fact is before referring to them.

          • Chris19741949

            Well, we don’t like non-Americans like Netty trying to interfere with our country and what goes on here…and if you are referring to the President as a non-American, well, darlin, you just lost any credibility you might have had. What illegal regulations?

        Jesse, why do you support ignorant Republicans like this. First he spreads lies about our president, and then he can’t even use proper English, or communicate his message. The following statement tells me he considers himself a citizen of Israel, not the US. He needs to leave the country now.
        “don’t pretend to lecture Israeli’s [sic] about our borders”

        First of all, “Israeli’s” in this case should not be possessive, so there shouldn’t be an apostrophe. Of course, this doesn’t bother you, since you were asleep in English class too. You’re suppose to capitalize (you know, use big letters) your name.

        Secondly, the message clearly states that he considers Israel’s border, “our” borders. Now, I will grant that we give so much money to Israel, we should own it, but we don’t. If he associates Israel’s borders with the word “our”, he is claiming to be Israeli. He needs to mover there now.

        And how much of our wealth is being redistributed to Israel. You have a problem with helping your fellow citizens, but no problem with helping a foreign country? Why don’t you move to Israel?

        • jesse anderson

          I agree he shouldn’t have said what he said. I don’t know how much is being allocated to Israel.I do know those resources could be used to help people start businesses and improve their life, instead of used to help another country who won’t appreciate it anyway. I don’t see any capitalization issues?

        jesse anderson seems to be missing the “good old days” of high unemployment, record deficits, $5 a gallon gas prices, and unnecessary wars. And, he can’t name any freedoms he’s lost since Obama took office, except maybe the freedom to be sick and without healthcare.

    Article Six of the U.S. Constitution says “The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” The remarks made by the NC representative represent a verbal challenge of article six, by voicing “his opinion” he is telling the public that it is OK to discriminate and violate the Constitution by placing a religious test in politics. He is using hate to justify his position and the courts and the House Ethics Committee should react accordingly.
