    What would you do if the OP is originally from Africa? Are you going to post pictures about the civil wars and the famines happening there? How much more dumb can you get?

    I am really curious why you wanted to waste the bandwidth of this site by posting random pictures which have absolutely nothing to do with this topic. If you don't agree with anything that the OP has said about Obama, man up and try to pick his arguments apart.

    Some folks have a sense of humor, which appears to be sadly lacking in D&D.




    Impeach Bush.

    Funny nobody alluded to sense of humor, or lack thereof, when NewYorker got booted.

    Sense of humor is not the same as attacking whatever related to the ethical background of a poster just because you don't like his political viewpoints in absolutely unrelated issues. What he did has ventured into the area of racism.

    Just FYI, your post (as well as this response of mine) take up more bandwidth for ClutchFans.net than the picture does.

    Neither you nor me would have made the posts if it was not for the random pictures. The guy is attacking things about the ethical background of a poster simply because he doesn't like the opinion of that poster in unrelated political issues. Do you agree with what he is doing?

    So you're blaming him for the bandwidth that you have used because you absolutely had no option but to respond? I guess we could also say if the original poster hadn't posted this thread at all, we could have saved a TON of bandwidth, no?

    I may not agree with the personal opinion of the OP and I may not like what is written in the news article but I don't see anything wrong with this thread. And I wouldn't attack things about the ethical background of the OP because of it. That's low.

    Fair enough - but none of that has to do with a random picture consuming virtually no bandwidth.

    Rezko looks like Dr. Phil.

    Dr. Phil received his PhD in Texas.

    Good job by feds to prevent a possible mysterious disappearance of the Chicago slumlord, one of Obama's closest associates.

    Now we need to make sure Rezko is on "suicide" watch while in custody.

    Indicted Political Fundraiser Tony Rezko Arrested

    Tony Rezko Has Ties to Sen. Barack Obama

    Jan. 28, 2008—

    Indicted political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko has been arrested at his suburban Chicago home by federal agents.

    FBI Special Agent Tom Simon says Rezko was arrested at his Wilmette home this morning. Simon says a federal judge issued an arrest warrant after a government motion to revoke Rezko's bond.

    Rezko has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to stand trial this month on charges of fraud, attempted extortion and money laundering. He's slated to appear before a federal judge later in the day.

    Rezko has ties to presidential candidate Barack Obama. The senator says he had no indication of any problems with Rezko when he accepted thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from him.

    Obama: Half price is a good deal but the lot is too small.
    Rezko: I'll fix it for you.

    Very honorable cause. Now start a "Free Tibet' thread and be honorable as you want to be there. Posting random pictures to diss things about the ethical background of a poster in unrelated topics is idiotic. I hope you are smart enough to see it.

    In 1971, when I spent several months traveling in Europe, mostly by myself, I had to defend being from the United States during some arguments about Vietnam. Of course, I said I wasn't from the US, that I was, in fact, a Texan, was against the war and had been for years, and that I didn't vote for that jerk, Tricky Dick Nixon. Were the Europeans being racist? I didn't think so at the time, but this barrage of posts that turn into racial whining whenever someone says anything remotely construed as being critical of China makes me think I should have.

    Sounds pretty rediculous, doesn't it? Some folks here with ties of some kind to China always make a criticism of that country into a racial assault against the "Chinese." I think it's worthy of a joke. The alternative is to go to sleep, which is the other strong feeling I have when I read some of this stuff. Some of you have skin so thin that if you didn't wear clothes, you'd be invisible.



    Impeach Bush.

    Oh, if you believe all Asians are with ties to China, then you are right. So is that what you believe? I am Asian, was born in Thailand and attended college in the US. So what is the tie that you think I have?

    Now, I think it's racist because that guy dissed things about the ethical background of a poster with random pictures which have absolutely nothing to do with the topic. I would have no problem if he dissed what the other poster has said, but why his ethical background? If you don't agree with what someone has said, I think you should man up and try to pick his posts apart. Note, I don't necessarily disagree with his viewpoint about the historical incidents of the pictures. But I do have problem with him doing that simply because another poster takes a political stance that he doesn't like.

    I think people who try to derail a thread by doing the above are the ones who have thin skin. But being able to be invisible would be nice.
