This content was published November 26, 2008. … JoeMyGod posted a story yesterday where he poo pooed the controversy about BHO’s birth certificate. A site called Free Republic critiqued his story. When FR did so, they listed keywords in the story. The keywords they listed were: antichristian; bigot; birthcertificate; celebratesin; certifigate; conspiracytheory; crackpot; dnctalkingpoints; gaystapotactics; hedonist; homosexualagenda; ifitfeelsgooddohim; larrysinclairslover; lavendermafia; liberalbigot; missingbirthcert; moonbat; obama; religiousintolerance; sodomite; woowoo.
That’s quite a collection. When I went to FreeRepublic to see for myself, the site was down. There is something called a 502 proxy error in the works now. Or maybe the thesaurus at Free Republic went into hyperdrive, and took down the site. … Free Republic is back up now. Maybe this was a coincidence. This post had 64 comments when I looked through. Many of them are wigged out about the word “christianist”. Very few of these people call a student of Buddha a Buddhian.
On a lighter note, it seems like the right wing is not giving up the fight. They seem determined to make as much trouble for BHO as they can. This is consistent with the reception the Clintons got in 1993. … BHO is going to have his hands full when he comes into office. The patriotic thing to do would be to support him, and try to help solve some of the problems he is going to be facing. The right wing seems determined to look for anything they can to fuss about. I question the patriotism of people who would undermine the president like that.
2025 UPDATE: BHO served two full terms as POTUS. BHO was a controversial figure, who did as much good as he did harm. Much of the harm he did is bearing fruit now, particularly in foreign affairs. The dirty war in Syria, the Saudi-Yemeni war, the Maidan revolution are just a few examples. The current POTUS got a lot of attention by questioning the authenticity of BHO’s birth certificate. When it became politically productive to call DJT “racist”, “birtherism” was given as an example.
JoeMyGod is still published several times a day. The site has several popup ads, though not as many as most websites. Most current JMG posts are hyper-critical of DJT. The latest post is Duffy Threatens To Fire Air Traffic Controllers. The most recent JMG post about the tragedy in Gaza is Trump Formally Petitions Israel To Pardon Netanyahu.
Free Republic is still being published. The current site looks very much like it did in 2008, and has almost no popup ads. The latest post is Florida 15-year-old charged with felony after attacking cop car with shovel: ‘Are you kidding me?’ The most recent FR post about the tragedy in Gaza is Israel offers: Hamas terrorists in Rafah tunnels can surrender and be freed. … Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.
