A story on CNN’s Facebook page has attracted the absolute worst of the far-right racists, conspiracy theorists, and low-information imbeciles: The announcement that President Obama’s Presidential Library and museum will be built in Chicago.
Within minute, the outrage began. In typical fashion, right-wing nutjobs flocked to the conversation, dragging bucketful after racist bucketful of hate to an absolutely innocuous non-issue that is years away from being a reality.
I’ve categorized the stupid to make reading the posts of numbskulls more enjoyable. Hopefully someday this article will end up framed in a library in Chicago.
Obama is getting a library? More taxpayer money wasted!
This is a popular theme that ties in with the ridiculous notion that the President and his wife are fleecing the American people because they eat and sleep in the White House and take vacations, (at a rate far lower than the last 4 Republicans), all on the taxpayer’s dime:
There is only one response to this idiocy:
According to the National Archives:
During his second term in office, President Franklin D. Roosevelt surveyed the vast quantities of papers and other materials he and his staff had accumulated. In the past, many Presidential papers and records had been lost, destroyed, sold for profit, or ruined by poor storage conditions. President Roosevelt sought a better alternative. On the advice of noted historians and scholars, he established a public repository to preserve the evidence of the Presidency for future generations. Beginning a tradition that continues to this day, he raised private funds for the new facility and then turned it over to the United States government for operation through the National Archives.
There are currently 13 Presidential Libraries built with donations and private funds. President Obama’s won’t cost you a dime, you morons.
Why is Obama’s library in Chicago?
There are no less than 2 dozen instances of this:
The “Kenya scandal” was debunked before the President was ever elected, but still, more than six years later, these knuckleheads just can’t let go.
Why should a terrorist get a library?
Another popular talking point of the ignorant is that the President is a Muslim, and therefore a terrorist:
Stupid is obviously contagious in right-wing circles.
I’m not a racist, but won’t those black people in Chicago just burn it down and loot it?
Yes, you are a racist. Your stereotypes are showing. You have to give the Baggers credit; When they go full racist they leave no stone unturned:
Yes, and hopefully the Bears don’t win a Superbowl, otherwise white folks just might burn it and loot in good fun during their victory celebration that’s definitely not a riot.
I hate the President for being black.
It had to happen. The absolutely reprehensible a-holes just can’t stay away. While it’s fun to watch someone who just posted one of the above “they’ll just loot it” rants demonize these racists, because they’re real racists not just people who stereotype and hate black people, reading this garbage can get hazardous to your health at times:
Bwar har har. Monkeys and zoos and half-whites oh my. People just don’t understand how idiotic they look when they post this trash.
But of course, trash tends to post trash.
And then there’s this guy: The smartest man in the room will fill you with facts about the President.
This could be the fail of the day. This idiot, who divulged his IQ as being “consistently 130,” (as opposed to those of us who fluctuate), has it all figured out. President Obama was elected by white people because he was black. You will absolutely LOVE his source:
Well dagnabit that just seals it. President Obama was elected by people who voted for him out of guilt and fear. Howard Stern said so.
It is in no way possible that Howard Stern put together a bit for a shock jock show, (where he hides his racism behind the fact that he hired Robin), using selected people who gave him the desired result. Howard Stern is by far the most credible person in the media today, so there you have it.
There’s really only one way to respond to that:

I pray for ignorant people that they may one day realize that “We are all created equal” We (Blacks) built the White House and now they are angry that a Black man and woman live there!! How soon they forget the words of the Bible “And the first shall be last and the last shall be first” Its our time to be blessed! We were used long enough and now” the wealth of the wicked” is laid up for the just” President Obama has done a lot for this country although people that hate him has tried to do everything to discredit him, simply because of the color of his skin. Call him what you want but I call him Mr. President because that is who he is like it or not. May the God of all Peace grant you racist people some!!
Ha! You are too kind racists and the like will find a nice hot place in the afterlife. A lot of “sun” burned white republicans. Then the blacks can be rid of the majority of white people. No justice until its just us Sister!!!
You should probably avoid being a racist when bashing racism.
He’s “half” black. You’re throwing mama under the bus again.
Interesting history the Obama clan has with slavery. Turns out they were providing “product” to the European slave traders back in the day. It’s been proven that Barack and Michelle are blood related from back when Barack’s ancestors had Michelle’s ancestors as “belly warmers” prior to sending them off to the Democrats in the old south.
Now if you’re interested in a black person with a shared history and two black parents, check out Ben Carson! A BRILLIANT man! The former head of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins! Sure beats a dim witted half white “community organizer”.
You mean the same Ben Carson that suggested that if illegal aliens voted in an election that their citizenship should be revoked? You want THAT kind of “intelligence” in the White House?
It’s apparent that you are just a hater and racist that doesn’t want to see a black person in the White House. You have to have your candidate’s DNA watered down by white DNA, light skinned enough, without a Negro accent? One who recently visited 50 out of 57 states? One who’s ashamed of his academic record and needs to keep it hidden?
Certainly not an accomplished surgeon, but instead a community agitator…..I mean organizer.
Ben Carson will never be president. President Obama will go down in history as one of the great ones while you just go down on Ben Carson…
Ben Carson has two black parents….and hates all other black people even more than do the white conservatives who’ve made him their house Negro.
Probably not, like his constituents, Carson feels above the common man or woman…she doesn’t stand a chance….she is beneath him in his opinion….
dude, your delusional!! your comment is racist not Mark’s. “You have to have your candidate’s DNA watered down by white DNA” …..sounds pretty racist to me. like that’s something he could have avoided. and when did we get 7 more states? and you called the president a “dimwit”. lmao!!!
You see a strong, intelligent woman and therefore she must be a man? WOW a bit of a closet homosexual much?
Stinky (BO) is feces. It’s settled science.
This has got to be a troll. Nobody can be this stupid and still know how to operate a keyboard.
and think there are 57 states!! lol!!!
You mean the same Ben Carson who thinks the earth is 6000 years old?
And no one cares what you say. I’ve listened to Ben Carson many times. The man is a complete idiot.
the dimwit did win twice. and brought this country back from the previous dimwit who almost destroyed it. I would take c constitutional lawyer over a kid doctor any day. and someone answer me this, what policies are you against and WHY DO YOU THINK HE IS GAY? you tell a lie long enough you start to believe it I guess.
Two African-American men being discussed as U.S. Presidential material.
One has the following experience—President Harvard Law Review, Civil
rights attorney, College Instructor in Constitutional Law at University of
Chicago, 3 Term State Representative, United States Senator, and the other is a
retired neurosurgeon. Can you guess which one the Teapublicans claim lacks enough political experience and calls, “Just a community organizer?”
ya mean the same Ben Carson that detest poor people?
Anything, President Barack H. Obama suggest or proposes sends the conservative racist in a tizzy. If he states that “drinking plenty of water is good for your health”, they say no”beer is better”. I guess being obstinate and stupid are two of their better traits.
I wish he would praise the virtues of breathing.
Because then all the conservatards would suffocate themselves out of spite. And the world would be SUCH a better place, for it!
Their only traits.
I’ll tell ya, all he has to do is give a speech endorsing breathing. Problem. Solved.
Wish he’d try this…
That reminds me…..The Wizard of Oz is on today. I LOVE that strawman!!
I don’t think you know what straw man means…this meme is completely relevant seeing as they’re talking about the GOTP’s opposition to anything O proposes. Stop embarrassing yourself.
Hopefully Kafir4life was talking about Boehner as a strawman…
Way too late for that!
and
Now you’re counting part-time, and not counting those who gave up looking, correct?
It has always been that way, so your argument is irrelevant…it means the statistics are still lower.
No, it really isn’t lower. The number of people who are work-age and not working is as high as it’s been since the 70s. There are also more people on welfare or foodstamps than there ever has been. Those two things are not good things to brag about. The administration can swing the numbers any way they choose, but what they’re not telling you is how many “new” jobs are just seasonal or part-time, compared to those jobs that were lost. They also don’t like mentioning that the number of new jobs announced doesn’t even cover the population growth rate. More kids are becoming work-eligible than there are jobs available for them, and more people are having to work longer and retire later. Where is there good news in any of that?
And we keep buying foreign made products.
And because he inherited the problem means it’s his fault? OOPS — there goes my logic meter.
there are also more people in the US then there where in the seventies. the cost of living was much lower then and jobs where not sent overseas. why are more people on welfare now than there has ever been? even though some of the jobs my be part time, those jobs pay a minimum wage, which isn’t a livable wage. so tell me why more people are having to work longer and retire late? if most statistics are showing a lower unemployment rate I doubt “the administration” is swinging numbers. face it, things are so much better then they where 7 years ago.
I don;t suppose the rise in welfare and/or food stamps recipients could possibly be traced to the fact that Republicans have consistently refused a raise in the minimum wage, could it? I mean, my God, minimum wage has risen 300% since the 70’s, right? Ummm, prices of necessary items (food, transportation, shelter, utilities, etc.) have risen 600% to as much as 1000% since then! Why should people need food stamps and other help, right? Your logic underwhelms me.Oh, and by the way, unless people have money to purchase goods and services, which they don;t in this day and age because of low wages, there will continue to be the situation we are in. The truth is, CONSUMERS are the job creators.
how do you count people who gave up looking? and a part time job is better than no job.
Part-time is better than no job because Repubs blame people for being poor and lazy and not wanting to work at all, so at least they’re working, which tells me trying to improve themselves in the future when they can.
Even if that’s how they’re counting, doesn’t that mean under Bush and Reagan the statistics would have been actually higher too. No difference at all so his stats are still lower.
It’s clear more than ever tha republicans have turned into a bunch of ANTI, doesn’t matter what good democrats will do, they will just go against by “principle” even despite being unable to give proposition to counter the likes of obamacare …
Well we now see who’s cornered the market on ignorance and why the stock is depleted.
If you have to preface your sentence with I am not a racist……hmm you can bet your last dollar that you are…..Idiots!!!!
Half of the people you meet are below average. Some are way below.
Colin Firth was right. Wacko conservatives brains are just physically different.
I understand that it was supposed to be built in Kenya…
Did your mother have any human children?
Classy…
Hey, I just work with what you give me.
Why shouldn’ the library be in Kenya?! Now you are sounding the racist…
Well, seeing as he was born in Hawaii and lived in Chicago, you tell me.
Well… He did live in Chicago… Granted
Ah, yes, you’re one of those. Why am I not surprised?
Just waiting for the Kenyan anthem to start…
Can’t let go of out of context material, eh, amigo?
What do you mean?! Are you going to tell me it was not the US Anthem playing?
Do a little research. Better yet, get back to mowing my lawn before I call INS.
Really?
Well, you might want to check the SNOPES website (they won’t let me put the link here).
But here is the jist of it:
“Given how finely-attuned candidates for high office usually are to the importance of symbolism, Illinois senator (and Democratic presidential hopeful) Barack Obama caused something of a stir in September 2007 when he was seemingly spotted (as in the image shown above) not observing the hand-over-heart protocol during a playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at an Indianola, Iowa, steak fry attended by the six top Democratic presidential candidates.
The photograph itself is real, one of several images of the Iowa steak fry event published by Time, and shows Barack Obama standing with his hands clasped just below his waist, while New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, New York senator Hillary Clinton, and Ruth Harkin (wife of Iowa senator Tom Harkin) stand with their hands held over their hearts. It’s difficult to establish context from a single still image, but other accounts (including the following ABC News video of the event) documented that the picture was as described”…
Need a link for the video too?
“It’s difficult to establish context from a single still image,” - nuff said.
Now, show me YOUR papers.
Now you are being deliberately stupid… Read the whole sentence:
“It’s difficult to establish context from a single still image, but other accounts (including the following ABC News video of the event) documented that the picture was as described”
There is VIDEO of the event! There are several other pictures… Come on man…
Check the video (on ABC)… Check the full report…
My guess is that you know this is as real as it gets beacuse this was years ago and widely reported and just don’t want the other morons on this site to find out…
Only a moron would continue to think this is of any importance. You probably think wearing a flag pin is a sign of true patriotism.
Now, let’s see those papers.
When you speak to a liberal, just make sure they understand to leave the onions off of your cheeseburger.
Do you only speak in unclever little quips? Standing by for your “witty” little song lyric retort.
Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, foolish liberals don’t upset us.
They let you buy cheeseburgers on food stamps? WOW,
And to think you can read and write with your red state religious nut bag edjamacation…Who woulda thunk it
The man has been president for almost eight years. We wanted it that way because he is a great president and we admire him…if you cannot accept that after all this time then please get some therapy. The world will not be remade to your specifications, and you cannot remove what has already happened. Are you ever going to move on?
Nobody cares. Its minutia. You make no greater point. Nobody posts pictures of you picking your butt but we can all presume they exist.
OH MY GOD HE DIDN’T HAVE HIS HAND ON HIS CHEST. HE MUST BE TRYING TO DESTROY AMERICA!!!!
You know the best thing we could do for this country, don’t’cha? Drop a nuke on the RNC and hope that ALL the scum-sucking TeaPubliKKKlan traitors like you are there.
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future……
Fly like an eagle!
Gotta get back to Swingtown.
One just trying to avoid being deported for having a “furren” name…
Go home. If you’re white that is not america; as north america is naturally native american. And if you’re hispanic I believe that’s spain.
Your dad shoulda pulled out.
I just hop they keep flapping their jaws.
I wish people would get a clue about who pays for the expenses of the Obamas, or any First Family, for that matter. Taxpayers do not pay for their food, clothing, vacations, or any other personal expenses. Even minor things like toothpaste or dry-cleaning are billed to them and deducted from the President’s salary.
Stop using facts!!!
Nasty little things to actually base an opinion on.
These are the frighteningly stupid droolers who believe that Obama wants to invade Texas.
that includes the Governor and pretend presidential candidate/comic relief Ted Cruz…
Stupid questions by ignorant A-holes! All of these people should be rounded up and put in a looney bin for their own, and all of our, protection.
The reality is that no conservatives would ever go there anyway.
The problem with racism is it effects everyone and comes from every race. Nothing good comes from it, and we as human beings will not ever evolve in a positive way without ending it. I am always embarrassed when I hear someone that is Caucasian make a stupid and uneducated comment regarding race. We are no longer in the 1800’s and need to stop acting like children about race. I have never, nor will I ever meet a man or woman that has any greater or lesser value than I have as a human being. To think otherwise is primitive and outdated to say the least. If you have so much disdain and hatred in your heart that you have to make another human feel pain or sadness, you have no understanding of what it is to be decent or intelligent. I long for a world where one can belong with anyone else without feeling anything but acceptance. Anything less is a sad and shameful idea of life.
I love your comments. Now, I know you didn’t mean to say it brings everyone into being, which is what you said. Try “affects” and don’t stop writing these excellent posts!
The historically unprecedented hatred of our president has become a kind of mass psychosis. I’m just surprised more of these racist jackholes haven’t just snapped. Do they ever think of anything else other than how much they hate the black man in the White House? How do they manage to function?
Do you see it as a sort of Bush Derangement Syndrome that you experienced several years ago?
Nobody cares that the president is (half) black OR gay. Those things don’t matter. It’s his ideology and policies……but race is all you got, so go for it, Bobo!
Ben Carson 2016 - A REAL Black man for President! TWO Black parents! Descended from slaves for a common history with Black people in this country! Never accepted by the Democrat party, the party of slavery and segregation.
Bush took us into one of the most pointless wars, caused numerous unnecessary deaths, caused a massive rescission ( despite the fact clinton left us with a massive surplus ). Obama is still digging us out of despite republican attempts to undermine the fixes necessary to recover. And We don’t care what color his skin is he is an american and the president we voted for. You see a black ( or HALF black ) man with a strong, intelligent woman by his side and therefore she must be a man? WOW a bit of a purity racist and closet homosexual much? Me thinks….KKK?
Please give us some examples and not the usual Faux talking points.
You know the best thing we could do for this country? Drop a nuke on the RNC and hope that ALL the scum-sucking traitors like you are there.
I’m going to assume you’re either pulling my leg, being ironic, or you’re just a troll. It is obvious you haven’t been paying attention. In the eight years Bush was in office, no one mentioned impeachment, even though he committed many impeachable offenses. No one in the media or the celebrity corps called for his assassination (Ted Nugent, anyone?). Bush ignored intelligence which could have prevented 9/11. He trashed the economy, while giving his rich benefactors tax breaks. Bush was pushing us off a cliff with a bulldozer, but no one ever exposed him to the sort of vitriol our current president has had to endure. So, don’t even go there, Sparky.
So you’d vote for Ben Carson then, Bobo? Or are you just another Democrat racist?
I wouldn’t vote for Ben Carson because A. He’s never held elected office, and therefore is not qualified, and B. He’s a delusional moron. His race doesn’t enter into it. Keep trying.
I don’t give a damn what race Carson is. I won’t vote for him. I did not vote for Obama based on his race, I voted for him because of his stand on the ISSUES. The same reason no power on earth could get me to vote for Carson. Also, anyone running for president who believes the earth is 6,000 years old has no business being president. I won’t vote for him for the same reasons I won’t vote for ANY of the Republicans who are running.
You liberals love free speech until you disagree with it’s content… Hypocrites
Yeah, we’re all feeling so threatened by the birther’s reliable theories.
Has anybody asked Hillary if she still believes that Barack was born in Kenya? Bill still think Barack should be bringing him his coffee?
Is Barack really “light skinned enough” and “doesn’t speak with a Negro accent unless he wants to”, as was pointed out by the official Senate child molester, Harry Reid?
The Republicans have just saved Obama’s Pacific Trade Agreement proposal to the Senate. The newest version has a stipend in it to allow for loans for reeducation of people that they know will lose their jobs if this passes (how people that have their careers clobbered are supposed to get a new job when even hi tech jobs are being taken over by workers from India is beyond me). Republicans were elected on the promise to end Obamacare and illegals entering the U.S.
So nothing has changed as R’s and D’s lie in bed together as the U.S. enters a deal that will be NAFTA on steroids.
Yet the mindless masses argue back and forth as to which “religion” is superior…Democrat or Republican. Yet they are both the same…..both sides steam rolling you while you ignore a third party alternative, and do the research that this article suggests that the Conservatives should do?
What the heck has happened to the people in this country? Hardly anyone thinks for themselves anymore. Just let their “preacher” do it for them.
“Reverse Psychology” works on children (hint, hint). I’m just sayin’……….
Well if there is one thing conservatives hate, it’s libraries.
Amen baby, Amen !!!!
I know Republicans are stupid, but really. This stupidity is over the top.
Don’t really care about his Library, but just a message to all you fun-loving folks: It IS possible to dislike the current president without being racist. It’s also possible to be a conservative without being a racist. Dumb people are dumb no matter their beliefs or political bend. When you see one or two comments and label the entire group of people they supposedly belong to as “racist” or “teabaggers (in the derogatory sense),” that’s what educated people like to call stereotyping, something y’all are supposed to be against, right? Everyone else is racist but me? That doesn’t really fly. I’ve met many a liberal racist as well. Most of them hate just about everyone, but especially themselves or anyone that makes them look bad by comparison. I wonder if Dr Carson will get the same treatment from the left if he’s elected the next president, or are we above all that?
It is possible to not like Obama and not be racist.
To be a conservative and not racist, not so much.
my statement is in response to “Now you’re counting part-time, and not counting those who gave up looking, correct?” i didnt say it. maybe your replying to the wrong comment. oh well
No one is questioning the veracity of your websites. However, anecdotal incidents to not necessarily constitute a pattern. The incidents cited are isolated. As for calling for Bush’s impeachment, as I mentioned above, there was sufficient reason to impeach Bush, several times over. But I understand your loyalty. However: Bobo THIS, Sonny. You sound like a 12-year-old. Repeating a silly insult does not make you right. It just makes you annoying. And you’re still just a troll.
I will vote for ANT candidate for president who has the intelligence, experience, etc. to be president, regardless of color.Obama has that, Carson doesn’t. If Colin Powell would run, I would probably vote for him. Carson…. NO!
talk about terroriest how about George bush LYING to the world and starting TWO was… How much tax money is be spent on his library can’t they just ad a wing to his Dad’s
Wow, you are one pathetic waste of space.
This is what all of the hatred boils down to.
republicans can’t stand it when they lose an election.
They will do ANYTHING to hold power.
Remember the legacy of the modern republican Presidencies.
1. Eisenhower - Great President (Interstate highway system, “Beware of the military industrial complex.”)
2. Nixon - Back room dealings with North Vietnam, to continue a war so that he could be elected. Watergate.
3. Ford - Pardoned Nixon.
4. George H. W. Bush - did NOTHING except lie about NOT raising taxes so that he could get elected.
4. Reagan - Backroom dealings to hold hostages in Iran until he could be elected. Iran Contra. Treason.
5. George W. Bush - He was SO insipid that he was the laughing stock of the world community. We LOST the respect of other nations. He lied us into an unnecessary war. He cost our nation the lives of more than 5000 of our best and brightest. He took our nation from a fiscal surplus to the brink of financial collapse.
Now, once again. What was your reason to vote for a republican?
The definition of insanity is, “Doing the same thing over and over…..and expecting a different result.”
Poor ignorant, twisted,racists haters are lost souls and have no where to go.American Nazis are a big concern to all civilized America,Obama has outclass the clowns big time.The tables are turning and the majority of America loves it.
