I laugh at both sides and I never take offense at what people say.
As for making fun of Bush, he said those things, they weren't made up. He really is that dubm, dmub, dbum.
The Obama ones were funny and so were the Bush ones.
If a person voted for Bush they must have found him intelligent which to me is confusing, but that is what makes a horse race.
But to get upset, life is too short and if you let a post make you mad you are missing the point, which is to hear other opinions and to learn weather, you agree or not.
If you had merely offered an opinion, it's doubtful that anyone would have objected. No one even mentioned your post that made fun of Bush perhaps because no one was offended, including me. What is offensive is your post about tattooing those who voted for Bush so that they would never forget "what they did". Y'know, there are actual people on the other end of your posts. We have feelings, feelings can be hurt, people can get offended. I'm not a hot house flower who is too precious to live. I can take criticism and read posts that disagree w/my views as well as the next person. However, when a specific person or a group of people are singled out as a target of vitriol, people are going to get upset and offended, Monica! Surely you can see that. Then to add insult to injury we're told that we need to have a sense of humor when we object to being insulted. Here's a thought: don't insult people to begin with. Remind yourself that there are real live people who read these posts, not just faceless screen ID's w/no feelings. I'm sometimes shocked at what people say in the Dog House and wonder if they would dare say those things to a person's face. Maybe they would, who knows, and that makes it all the sadder.
