The popular German blog Politically Incorrect describes itself as "pro-amerikanisch" ("pro-American") in its banner. And it was pro-American - until Americans elected a black man as president. Now it routinely heaps scorn on the democratically elected president, whom the editors describe as an "African Muslim".
In a typical post, "PI" accuses President Obama of destroying all of the glorious achievements of his predecessor, George W. Bush. Bush "liberated" 27 million Iraqis and created a democratic paradise in Iraq, which Obama wants to abandon. Under Bush the American healthcare system flourished (except for poor Americans, who don't count)and now President Obama has destroyed this with his reforms. And Obama - or, at any rate - poor blacks - caused the global financial crisis by buying homes they couldn't afford.
"Was uns bleibt ist ein Präsident, der beim Star Sprangled Banner seine rechte Hand nicht aufs Herz legt, sich vor den grausamen Diktatoren dieses Landes bückt und lächerlich macht, Israel keine unmittelbare Unterstützung mehr zusichert und die Muslime aller Länder fördert.
Thank you Hussein, you can keep the change!"
(What we have is a president who refuses to place his right hand over his heart when the Star Sprangeled (sic!) Banner is played, who bows down to vicious dictators and is the object of ridicule, who refuses to support Israel and supports Muslims in every country.)
It is always instructive to read the comments to this and other posts on PI.
Ironically, while PI spreads hatred against President Obama (and, by inference, the majority of Americans who elected him) the blog moved its servers to the United States. The site is now hosted by Liquid Web in Lansing, Michigan, just a few miles from America's largest Muslim community.
Have you asked yourself whether someone can be "pro American" and "anti" the current American President?
Obama is busy running the US into the ground with his economic and foreign policies - why wouldn't you criticize him if you love America?
Or is it really your reverse racism and knee-jerk leftism ideology that informs you that no one may criticize a black (Democrat) president however incompetent he is?
