Why all the Obama name calling?

Why do the conservatives insist on calling President Obama so many different names rather than just President.

First, he was a celebrity, then an elitist, a socialist, a communist. Now he's being called a facist and a dictator. It seems like every month he's a new name. I have a feeling that many of the people who use those terms do not even know what they mean or probably can't even spell them. What are your thoughts?

Update:

oops I realized an error *fascist* hehe

    I think the GOP, which is in broad disarray, is trying to come up with a pejorative name which does not make the caller seem too much of an *sshole. Liberal hasn't the sting it once had, calling someone a fascist or a communist makes the caller look stupid, (the silliest one I've seen is fascist democrat) and so on. And you're absolutely right, many of these terms are clearly being used by people who have no clue what they mean.

    Actually the Republicans have much bigger problems than thinking up schoolyard epithets, and I wish they'd get down to the hard business of addressing them. I believe that two strong parties are good for the country and we do not have that now, and nor will we until the GOP fashions a coherent message which has broad appeal.

  • How about "President Good-Wrench??"

    Actually there is no problem with the name calling, he has lived down to my expectations...

    And as the First Lady Hilarity Says, "never pass up an opportunity."

    I just love when O'Bama switches feet....Take the left out of his mouth and put in the right...

    Obama's cabinet are fascists.

    The way they are directing our country is in a fascist direction.

    We are taxed too much as it is.

    We have Federal tax, state tax, property taxes, city and county taxes, tax on gasoline, tax on electricity, tax on chewing gum, etc.

    And the G20 Summit was about MORE taxes to be implemented, mainly over the environment.

    In my opinion, Obama is a Wall Street pole dancer.
