Brazil’s Anti-Obama Riots Ignored by Media

A U.S. President beset by angry mobs screaming “Yankee Imperialist Go Home”, exploding Molotov cocktails, rubber bullets, tear gas, riot police.

Hmmm. Could this be why the President “cancelled a public speech he was scheduled to deliver Sunday” in an “historic plaza” in the “heart of Rio de Janeiro?” Well, we may never know from most in the Make-Believe Media. Yahoo News and New York Times are too busy breathlessly praising Obama as the guru of Hoops citing his so-far superb basketball bracket noting that even women’s hoopsters have attracted Obama’s laser-like focus, promoting my new moniker for our Bookie-In-Chief: “Bracket Hoops” Obama.

But cooing over The Guru of Hoops just isn’t enough. The MBM finds itself increasingly acting as traffic cops detouring folks around gory news scenes they don’t want you to see, kinda like 21st Century Clinton bimbo suppression squads.

I noticed this on a thread at DU. Some of the more principled ones are criticizing O of course, but most of the anti-war threads (at least the other day) are talking about the “evil US”, with no mention of Obama.

And a lot of them think war is ok as long as the UN says it is. A few of them have some constitutional problems, but not a lot.

Do you think the Obamas (including the wife and kids) have some inklings of the anger and anti- crowd?

Or do you think his inner circle have them insulated pretty well, and all he sees/gets are still the fainting populace?

ROTFLOL!

[NC Angeleyes]

I can do that....sign me up

[Dante3]

Yes, MSM has ignored the anti-Obama demonstrations.

[RipSawyer]

“LOL!!!! — Actually, if Obama has his way on energy policy, we will be a No Fly Zone. And a No Drive Zone as well.”

I’m afraid he will turn the country into a No Eat Zone!

I have to admit it is a great idea, yet my fear is he would use more of our money to come back anyhow .... sigh.

[Just A Nobody]

Not if we revoke his passport. Hmmmm ... does he have a passport?

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks! It is amazing to me that you are only the third person to sign up. I guess others would rather sit around and bi complain.

[no-to-illegals]

Can we revoke ALL of his passports? To do so, may be a problem. With the number of Social Security numbers zer0 has, one has to believe there are at the very least a dozen or more passports. zer0 is as illegal as they come ... trouble is nobody in Congress has the brass (below) to take on the Chicago mob... imho ... of course ... I pray I am wrong and there is someone out there with a lot of brass, and good aim. Sounds like a job for the Lone Ranger or Sarah.

[Just A Nobody]

I agree with every word you wrote!

Sounds like a job for the Lone Ranger.

gee ... I am blushing ...

I just call him "Baracket." Shows what he really cares about, at least when he's not on the golf course.

btw ... you just stated my dream ticket. Sarah Palin / Allen West 2012

zer0, is a whipped limp noodle should this happen. (smile)

[Just A Nobody]

Reverse it and I’m on board, big time!

[no-to-illegals]

At least we are in somewhat of an agreement. My apology to you for not being back to your comment sooner. I have a reason for my order, which given another time when I have more time, will expound on. Thank you for the post.

[Just A Nobody]

No problem regarding a speedy reply. There are many times I can't get back here for a week or more.

Yes, I have a reason for my order as well. It would be interesting to share our reasons. Perhaps FRmail would be a more appropriate venue? ;*)

Would you like to go first, and share your view?
