The Loyal Opposition

Following up on last night's post, the GOP has pretty much given up on civility towards Obama as GOP Rep. Trent Franks proves:

A Republican member of the House of Representatives accused President Barack Obama of being "an enemy of humanity" during a conservative values forum this past weekend.

In a speech Saturday before the How to Take Back America conference, Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) made comments that went far beyond the limits of traditional White House criticism. At one point, Franks demanded that Obama release his birth certificate to prove his constitutionally eligibility to hold office. The bluntest charge, however, centered on the president's position on abortion, which the congressman derided as "insane" and godless.

That's nice. At this point Obama is the Enemy and must be dealt with. Sitting Republican members of Congress are publicly calling him inhuman. Trent Franks's exact words:

"Obama's first act as president of any consequence, in the middle of a financial meltdown, was to send taxpayers' money overseas to pay for the killing of unborn children in other countries," said Frank. "Now, I got to tell you, if a president will do that, there's almost nothing that you should be surprised at after that. We shouldn't be shocked that he does all these other insane things. A president that has lost his way that badly, that has no ability to see the image of God in these little fellow human beings, if he can't do that right, then he has no place in any station of government and we need to realize that he is an enemy of humanity."

Now I ask you, if a sitting Democrat would have said that about Bush, that Democrat would have a firestorm crammed so far up their ass they'd be spitting charcoal. But Republicans saying Obama is an enemy of humanity?

No problem. Hey, at some point a liberal said something bad about Bush, so it's okay.
