Below is just the latest example of the foul and disgusting stuff being thrown at President Obama. There are many more, perhaps a new thread is in order.
My question is, why aren't the same people, or heck anyone, calling them UN-Americans?
This man is not only claiming the President is not American, now he has the balls to imply FRAUD?
Are you fucking kidding me? Am I the only one sick of this?

Well, I'm certainly sick of it, so no, you're not the only one.
The people who attacked the Dixie Chicks are not calling birthers unamerican cause that particular rhetoric doesn't fit their purpose. And probably because they are one and the same.
Why are the liberals not calling unamerican? Good question. Probably for the same reason liberals have conceded morality to the conservatives and the religious right. Regardless of the fact that they are neither moral or right.
Why does no one make the distinction between private morality and public morality? Why does no one point out how it is not morally superior to clap and cheer when a man without insurance dies or to boo a gay man serving in the military. It is not moral to publicly call a woman who wants to speak on contraceptives a slut and a prostitute. It is not morally superior to pervert the truth, yet the radical right does this on a daily basis. The truth is so twisted and warped it is unrecognizable when spoken by these people of god. Why does no one call them on their lack of ethics and morality. Since when does god advocate his followers practice relentless cruelty and a spectacularly astounding lack of compassion and good will. When I read the words of these fanatics, these so called religious god fearing folk I think about this sign
