Bobby Jindal warns against 'hating' Barack Obama

NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal diverged from the red meat attacks on President Obama that have characterized the Republican Leadership Conference to caution conservative activists that they ought not demonize the president in the fashion some liberals did President Bush.

Jindal recalled what he said were the "shrill, absurd and negative rhetoric" employed by the left during the eight years Bush was in office.

"We must not mimic their shallow approach," he said to modest applause in a Friday afternoon speech here.

Jindal, who just turned 40, is up for re-election this fall and is widely assumed by the state's political class to have national ambitions.

So even while tut-tutting the more sharp-edged attacks on Obama, he mixed in reassurance that he wasn't sympathizing with the president's policies.

Until Republicans understand they are playing for keeps, they will keep getting their butts handed to them. Jindal had better get with it or it will be bye-bye Bobby, when he looks for support on a national basis.

OMG, let’s not start a scripture dual. As you surely know, that could cut both ways with respects to this thread.

He did not use them because he was not of the darkness, just as we must not be. There is no good way to use hate or irritation. Go to patriotoutreach.org to learn the true way!

Everybody hates Obama, huh? Sure. The very SECOND that something bad happens to the piece of filth, we will be REQUIRED to pray for him just like Ted Kennedy, a sub-human piece of filth if ever there was one.

For the most part, people don’t personally hate Obama and they probably never will. Hussein’s personal approval (not job approval) numbers tend to be very high. It’s galling, but for whatever reason, people really want to like this man. Obama’s been turned into a cultural icon and a lot of people are emotionally invested in him.

Jindal’s point is probably that we should attack Obama on the issues where he is actually vulnerable (the economy), and not waste a bunch of time trying to drive down his personal negatives when it seems pretty clear the public will probably continue liking him personally even if we defeat him.

You give succor to people who purpose to take what you've created and then kill you. People who want to brainwash your children and make them salves of the state. My, but aren't you pious.. at others expense.

On second thought, let’s do it.

“Have I not hated them, O Lord, who hated Thee? ... I have hated them with a perfect hatred, and they have become enemies to me.” (Psalm 138:21-22)

“Joined in friendship with those who hate the Lord, you truly deserve the wrath of God!” (II Para. 19:2)

“I did not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities. In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.” (Psalms 101:3, 8)”

The key is this: we should not hate OUR enemies but we are COMMANDED to hate GODS ENEMIES — and I consider Obama one of those.....

Hey! I posted to you the other day! GREAT writing, dude! Keep it up. Do you remember being forced to pray for Ted Kennedy?

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby! What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.

Some men, you just can’t reach.

So you get what we had here last week — which is the way he wants it.

Well, he gets it.

And I don’t like it anymore than you men.

It’s far more productive to focus our energies on LOVING the right things and putting our energies into making sure the righteous, good, and just people get elected. For example, I’d rather be excited about Sarah Palin than depressed about Obama.

It’s also important to make sure WE are doing everything in our OWN lives to help the situation, rather than waste our time hating on bad people. Yes it’s good to hate what they STAND for —> the hate the sin, love the sinner mentality —> cliche, but powerful.

So yes, rather than think about “what did Obama do today?” We should ask ourselves, “What did I DO today (that is within my power) to help, in some small or big way, to make sure goodness, freedom—all those good things prevail?”

With all do respect CondoleezzaProtege, two can play the Bible game.

It would be OK to have a beer with him.

Not like having a beer with Hitler or Stalin.

McCain had it right. Praise Obama and lose in a very upright way. I am glad we can have 4 more years. Thanks Bobby.

I don’t hate him, I just hate his politics, his lack of intelligence, his lack of experience as a leader, his inability to make a speech without TOTUS, his hate for Whitey, America, and Israel, his fake birth certificates and fake conversion to Christianity, and pretty much every decision he has made as Impostor-In-Chief, and his friends who are just like him. And that’s just the beginning!

Now his VeeP, the Gaffe-O-Matic, I’ll take any day over him for the position of POTUS!
