Couldn't let it go, could you?

Libs who keep whining about why conservies aren't accepting Obama, they need to stop and think about this.

After eight years of full-blown hate toward the president, saying he killed black people in New Orleans, accusing Republicans of stealing an election, accusing our military of genocide, making movies that fantacize the president being killed, wishing Dick Cheney had died in Iraq, showing up in Denver screaming "kill Michelle Malkin," hanging Sarah Palin in effigy, throwing projectiles at Ann Coulter, banning the military from public soil, and invading the House to approach Condi Rice with blood on your hands....

All the sudden that's all in the past and we're supposed to be friends.

Excuse us for being a bit skittish, but we have reason to fear the left and have no desire to lump ourselves together.

What's my point? In every aspect of politics -- which is to say, throughout human society -- there will exist people who cannot see that they have become what they profess to hate.

I am encouraged by my inability to find any video of this disgraceful behavior from any source other than MSNBC. I strongly suspect it was a relatively small percentage of attendees who couldn't stop themselves from breaking out in song (and booing the outgoing President when he appeared). But, I mean, good for Chris Mathews and Keith Olbermann for expressing disapproval -- but you still aired it, dudes.

Congratulations and good luck, President Obama.
Thank you, President Bush.
