    -Barack Hussein Obama,
    on higher taxes.

    Of course the Obama believes this wealth redistribution should be coerced, not voluntary.

    Of course this isn't news to the Obama's poor grandmother. Or his half brother, in Kenya. Hell, I've probably given more money to Kenyans than the Kenyan. (Unless you count tax dollars.) :marathon:

    No, it's not satire. But it is over your head.

    So a "Super Moderator" uses the Barack Hussein Obama racist dogwhistle? And it's apparently normal? That kind of racist bullshit should GET moderated.

    We're pretty lenient here.

    And Fox was obviously trolling with the Kenyan. He does that. Trolling is allowed in this room.

    No, it's Volpone.

    He has a limited vocabulary, mostly limited to chanting "Who is John Galt?" and expressing his desire to see Obama naked. Bear this in mind as you decide just how seriously to take him.

    It's a two year old thread...I'm surprised you saw it in order to bitch about it.

    Anywho, Volpone was not on staff when he posted the thread... and even if he was, the Red Room is as free speech as you can legally get. You will see plenty of offensive things here...if you don't want to, you should keep to all the other forums where things are more moderated.

    Hmm...didn't realize I was necromancing a 2 year old thread. For some reason it showed up on the front page of the Red Room, so I assumed the last reply was from today or yesterday.

    That's.... odd. If you don't mind could you take a screen shot of what threads show up for you right now?

    Yeah, old thread, but there'd be nothing wrong with a staff member creating a thread like this. The Red Room mantra, generally speaking, is "who cares, baby!"

    All the threads that show up now are as they should be. I don't know what happened.
