President Hussein Obama forces lawmakers to cancel Christmas. If this was Ramadan, you know we'd have a deal by now.

[Karee 4,191]

Okay. I give. I will repeat the mantra of the title of this thread until I believe it. "President Hussein Obama forces lawmakers to cancel Christmas. If this was Ramadan, you know we'd have a deal by now." I guess that's not full of poo-poo.

When was the last time you used a person's middle and last name only? I guess President Wilson Reagan would be proud. Except who the heck refers to him as "Wilson Reagan." So, Harsh_77, why was it necessary to say "Hussein?" It seems only relevant to make it an anti-Muslim and anti-Arab thing.

Force???? Guess Obama is holding a gun to every Congressman's head.

Christmas = no deal. Ramadan = deal. Base on what facts????? That's religious baiting. If Obama was a "Christian," it would be okay. But because he is a "Muslim," he hates Christmas?

Why is "Hussein" and "Ramadan" relevant to the fiscal cliff?????? So, Harsh_77, please explain this to me.

Once again, I am an Independent. I voted for both parties.

Fair is fair. I will take shots at both sides.

Under current laws, the Bush era tax cuts are set to expire as designed by Congress and President Bush in 2002.

Obama wants the tax rates to go up without any spending cuts. Boehner wants tax rates to go down and cut spending. Isn't there a middle ground anymore??????? Wouldn't it be prudent to raise taxes on those who benefit most from the tax code? Wouldn't it be prudent to cut back on your spending when you are borrowing money to make ends meet?

What happened to the rest of us in the middle??? Why accept two extreme sides??????

When I negotiate a deal, I try to cut it somewhere in middle. Why can't the Democrats and Republicans find a middle? Why must all of us suffer to protect the extreme elements in both parties??????

The thread title is a joke.

The thread title is a joke.

Why is it okay to joke about Muslims????? No offense right?

Blame the fiscal cliff on whites. Blame the fiscal cliff on blacks. Blame the fiscal cliff on Asians. Equally not offensive right?

It's all cool. Pick on the Muslims. It's their fault that the fiscal cliff is here.

Wouldn't it be easier to ask the person who started the topic? It looks to me like Harsh_77 agreed with you about this being a baiting post. I could bw wrong, but IMO, the title is actually satire.

Good luck with that!

Satire is an Anglo-American thing. It is probably lost on other cultures. My wife still doesn't understand American humor genres like satire, understatement, exaggeration, or double entendre.

I blame the OP for trolling those who don't understand jest, especially when he does it badly.

Satire only works when it's humorous.

Just insulting people who are a different color or religion doesn't make it funny.

Different color than who? The OP? What color you think the OP is? Look, he insults anyone and everyone. It's part of his charm.

A few other gems from the OP:

The thought of visiting North Africa makes Hillary Clinton sick to her stomach

Texas cop takes out the trash. Yee-haw!

The Socialist Senator from Oklahoma?

Is this part of the secret gay agenda or just a naive principal?

Personally I think it's kinda funny.

Whether you think it's funny or not, gotta admit that AJ is an equal opportunity offender.
