Vendio must have done it. We can't edit post titles AFAIK, and it definitely changed. Bear's used it a lot here, but I can't remember if he ever used it in a title before. I was thinking about this earlier today. Lots of us called Bush names here, but I finally decided that none ever used such a vile and anti-American term. I hope they gave him a nice long time out.

Yes, it didn't seem like he has many friends there. That is what happens when you spread 1/2 truths. Maybe that picture is what he looks like!

What's most telling about bear is that he posts this crap, which always comes from somewhere else and is never an original thought, and then runs and hides. The only time he ever posts in the middle of a thread is to sling some silly insult, never to further a discussion or offer a well thought out opposing opinion. He is the living breathing definition of a troll and an intellectual coward.

I'm sorry. Looks aren't everything - BUT Bear's pic is of a man I would walk on the other side of the street to avoid. He creeps me out.

Your Messiah couldnt even get through his pathetic inauguration speech without making his 1st presidential error.
Oops, Obama makes first presidential mistake
Oops. Just seconds into his term, President Barack Obama made a mistake about the history of his new office.
In the second paragraph of his inaugural address, Obama said, “Forty four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.”
Sorry. While Obama IS the 44th president, he is actually only the 43rd American to take the oath.
Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms. He is counted as the 22nd president, serving from 1885 to 1889. He won back the office four years later, and is counted also as the 24th president, serving again from 1893-1897.
Two presidents – but one American.

[i]Yes, thank you vendio.
Neglus,
He used bin laden's first name in the title. Childish and immature (what's new). [/i]

Ah, poor bear! Go hibernate somewhere else where they won't change your vulgar language. It must be so hard for you and your buddies to come to terms with the NEW PRESIDENT of the US. But you need to deal with it. Even if Obama mis-spoke he is still way more educated than Bush or McCain ever tried to be. By the way you should learn how to use italics.
posted on January 23, 2009 05:02:29 PM new
Bear, As Neglus says, your complaints are pure drivel and don't add up to a hill of beans. Give me something of substance to discuss, if you can. As I said previously, you should know better than to criticize Obama for mis-speaking, considering your idol can barely put an English sentence together. (See list above)
I understand you are upset that Barack Obama is now THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, but you act as if these 2 very minor flubs will lead us to World War III. If mis-speaking could do that, we would have been annihiliated about 7 years ago.
posted on January 23, 2009 09:39:16 PM new
No one here sounds the least bit deranged, except for you, Bear. How many posts have you made over a minor flub? It is a laughable commentary on your chldish mind. Don't bother us with your silly issues. Come back when you have something substantial to say. If that ever happens, try to post without any dopey C & P's from one of your whacko sites.
posted on January 24, 2009 07:30:01 AM new
Bear you are so unhappy and I might add a very sore loser about our new president, but now you are only beginning to know how the last 8 years have felt to us. We got thru it and so will you. Meanwhile, brush up on your education (it is never a bad idea) and then you can post intelligently. You will feel so much better and your education can never be taken away from you. Enroll soon and start part time. You can do it.
