Okay, this will be short.
I understand disappointment in the President. I understand anger. I understand frustration, regret for giving him your vote, wanting him to do better, even calling him "a member of the 1%" et cetera et cetera.
I don't agree with some of the above, but I understand where you are coming from. But listen, shit like this:
Obama is happy (img) (0+ / 3-)
(image of obama's head photoshopped onto police officers body spraying college kids with OC)

(h/t to Eileen B for the "Not Funny" over the offensive parts of the picture)
Not. fucking. okay.
I am upset and disappointed too. I am shocked at the level of police brutality. I am pissed that these kids are treated like common criminals. But this takes the bullshit to another level.
This place was nice after kos started being moderator, but once again the hyperbole and bullshit is getting to me. Please express your disdain for the status quo like adults, not petulant children throwing a damn temper tantrum. Thank you.
Update: Sorry for actually embedding the picture. I did not think about it, I am feeling sort of goofy and I am getting over the flu. I hope that now my diary is way less offensive. Please rest assured that it was COMPLETELY unintentional.
But my point remains...that picture is vile and the fact it was posted at dkos in all seriousness makes me sick to my stomach.
