Denial - Ron Paul is crazy after all
Here is a starter.
https://www.facebook.com/JudgeNapolitano
Just read a lot of the comments on there.
That's not even the tip of the iceberg from what I've seen before on facebook.
The birthers are still going strong, the stuff about him being a homosexual, the questioning of his school stuff.
There are facebook pages dedicated to "Obama went to school as Barry Soetoro" with tons of people on there linking to new and new conspiracies everyday. Like I said, anywhere from Obama staged Newtown and Colorado, to he's firing generals who refuse to shoot civilians should there be a government takeover.

Dude, so why don't you push them on it, make them finally wake the pfark up and see their party has gone to ****?? I mean, after all it's the truth, whether they want to admit it or not, their party is effing lying to them, and using them, getting their vote, support, money, etc. when they have ZERO intention of doing the things they promise, they are only using their support to keep lining their pockets!!! And add to it, as effing pathetic as this is generally speaking, it's even worse for those who really believe those aholes are going to do things for moral reasons...

There's a state legislator in Minnesota who has actually told this to his constituents in public.

I'm not quite sure I understand the beef. I mean, how much do liberals hate the tea party? I mean, they call them extremists - heck even terrorists!
But I was never able to understand why it was extreme for the tea party to be willing to shut down the government over Obamacare funding, but it wasn't considered "extreme" for liberals who were willing to shut down the government over Obamacare funding. Public polls would suggest that the Rs were closer to the mainstream, no?
But it's OK for liberals to call anyone who believes in the constitution (for the record, I don't believe the tea party does), as extreme terrorists.

Not sure what's worse, the 235k shares, or the fact that he thinks he couldn't get it to work (implying the government was not letting him share it).

Hey Sav, do you get out much...I mean on this internet thing?
I get out a lot actually, and I actually see this stuff in person when I go around town...
Bumper stickers such as "I want an American-Born President in White House". "I didn't vote for the muslim terrorist, YOU DID!"
"Average American = Good Christian, Their "President" = Muslim Terrorist".

I suppose you then just see what you want to see...
Not really. I don't look at bumper stickers when I'm driving. When I am walking in a parking lot to the store.... that's a different story.
Just seems like Anti-Obama folks here (in my town) are more outspoken than the Anti-Bush crowd was.
I can't get away from political talk even if I tried.
Last week I went out for some drinks with friends, and some drunk jokingly asked the bartender "Dang Boss, $8 for a shot? That's kinda extreme" and the bartender replied "Go complain to your homeboy Obama".
I work at a country club, so of course 95% of the demographic here are conservative leaning, so even when they go in passing they make a comment.

Just depends on where you live Sav. If you live in a really Red area then sure. And just realize you are going to be more sensitive and see this stuff when it is aimed at your guy and that you'll be less inclined to see it when it is/was aimed at the guy you didn't like. That's just human nature.

Oh, and it will only get worse. Part of the curse of the second term. More material to criticize and more time to get sick of who ever is on the throne.
I grew up on the internet, and Bush is certainly the introductory internet President.
Clinton was President during the days of AOL, but Bush was President when the days of high speed broadband started to rise. Obama is probably the first social media President.
As far as I remember, the worst of hte Anti-Bush stuff was he was a stupid redneck cowboy, he didn't have a brain, the pictures comparing him with a caged monkey and yes the occasional swastika stuff. Although, I think most liberals hated Cheney more than Bush, it's just Bush was face and Cheney was the puppeteer.
I've seen much much much worse stuff with Obama in office.

It's going to get worse with every president. Don't care for Obama, but agree that he's had even worse things said about him than Bush, who was attacked often.

Well posters of a decapitated Bush are pretty bad. Not sure how much worse they get than that. That said, I think your point about the progression of technology hastening the nasty, vile, and ugly, is a good one. It will get worse (unless a heavier Statist hand is played - which you probably wouldn't want either). Just imagine how things will be should a R get back into the Oval Office.

He'll want to eat poor people's children and enslave women according to some.
Call my crazy, but I don't recall anybody on MSNBC ever openly saying Bush was the modern day Adolf Hitler and the second coming of the Third Reich.
Not even a year into Obama's Presidency and the Hitler comparisons to Nazi Germany and the government authoritarian takeover were pretty commonplace not just amongst popular conservative social media, but Fox News and major right-winged blogs online.
What's worse than people having posters of a decapitated Bush? Reading people on social media say they'd shoot President Obama if he ever came to their city, to save their country, or people who say they'd just kill him ebcause they think they're patriots.
