People on this forum who consider Labour a 'penalty kick' to win the next election, are, unfortunately, sadly deluded. History tells us that the British electorate are more than capable of believing the b0llocks they are being fed!

True to form, bat[is[/ihit-loony rlMelanie Phillips has an apoplectic fitrl

To go along with Donald Trump and Karl Rove little hissy fits it just makes the Obama win even funnier. The Trump one especially

Blame the Unions for that then.

If she hadn't written that seriously it would be one of the most hilarious things ever. Its not funny to mock the afflicted though

Melanie Philips started out at the Guardian. So no surprise she is a complete loon. She went to the Daily Mail to try and mitigate it, which says a lot

It was just funny that because he didn't get the result he wanted that suddenly meant the US was no longer a democracy and somehow it was a false result.
It's also the funniest time to watch Fox News right now. You can tell they're just itching to constantly scream "F*CK THE LOT OF YOU!! ITS NOT FAIR!!" and then stomp off to their room. Also it's cringe making to hear them constantly saying how wonderful it is that the US is a democracy and that the US has this kind of thing. I sometimes think that they think the US is the only country in the world to hold elections and they they invented it.

Stock market has taken a dive.

Hardly the response you would expect for a nation supposedly overjoyed about the re-election of Obama.

I prefer him over Romney but they hype is ridiculous. People are bigging this up like the second coming. Four more years. Four more years of what?

People giving a crap about something other than their bank balance?

Possibly not. Since most people are moaning about the economy, which ultimately comes down to their bank balance.

The down on the US stock market is not due to Obama's re-election.

As you say, true to form.
Philips is a big fan of Zionism and Palestinian-bashing.
If the taking-the-Book-of-Revelations-literally Bible-belt's favourite had won, Netanyahu would have had free rein.

Not that Obama has had much success in getting Netanyahu to cease the ever-expanding Lebensraum across the West Bank, at least he wouldn't give it his blessing as Republicans have always done.

I sent her an email telling her she is mental.

That's the show where four far right nutjobs and their token liberal stooge sit around a table and the stooge gets beaten up before finally agreeing to their point of view. The four main players were hilariously gutted: mediamatters.org/video/2012/11/0 ... guy/191234 mediamatters.org/video/2012/11/0 ... y-i/191231 The problem for these guys is that they genuinely believe Obama is a Marxist or Communist or Socialist, which is insane. He's as moderate as can be, veering to strongly conservative on some matters (much further to the right than Miliband for whom I could never vote). They have painted this parallel universe for themselves for the past four years and just can't see that the rest of the country knows it's not true. It's hilarious
