It's okay if Obama does it

Why do Republicans lie about Obama when they’re desperately trying to defend Donald Trump?

Acosta is nothing but an activist, what's your point?

The point is that your thread fails as a false comparison fallacy.

It also fails as a red herring fallacy, attempting to deflect from Trump’s contempt for a free press by propagating the lie that President Obama has the same contempt, which is in fact untrue.

My point is, Obama calls the media out. No problem, but let Trump do it and he is shutting down free speech.

What’s sad is you don’t even understand how childish and stupid your thread premise is, and why it in fact failed.

You’ve unwittingly acknowledged the fact that Trump was wrong to ban a journalist from WH press conferences and that Trump has contempt for a free press.

You then contrive the ridiculous lie that President Obama ‘did the same’ when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

Because President Obama did not ‘do the same’ as Trump, your claim that liberals are ‘hypocrites’ is likewise exposed as a lie.

And Acosta is in fact a journalist, your subjective, partisan opinion that his is not is irrelevant.

It is the role and responsibility of journalists to hold elected officials accountable – including presidents – to confront them when they lie or are being evasive, and compel them to answer questions the American people have the right to know.

That a journalist exhibits a Republican president to be incompetent, unprepared, and unfit doesn’t render that journalist an ‘activist.’

Oh bullshit, if Acosta did the exact same to Obama he would've lost his job at Cnn. My gosh a rodeo clown got banned for life from the rodeo for wearing an Obama mask, even though he wore other presidents mask. You will complain about Trump anyway you can

Your thread premise fails as a false comparison fallacy.

You thought you had some sort of ‘gotcha’ but instead you made a fool out of yourself – again.

Like most conservatives you’re ignorant, arrogant, childish, and are incapable of critical thinking.

It’s not ‘OK’ if anyone ‘does it’ – and President Obama did no such thing.

You need to get Obama's pecker out of your mouth. He is a man child and the worst president ever. Carter thanks God for him everyday.

Seems Obama kicked a reporter out of a press breifing. Nothing said of him doing it, no free speech denial or nothing. The reporters name was Jennicet Gutierrez, liberals are a bunch of hypocrites.

Jennicet Gutierrez appears to be an activist, not a reporter. The incident occurred at a special Pride address, not a press briefing. No one had press credentials revoked. Gutierrez was not asking a follow-up question, in fact the incident occurred as Obama was starting a speech.

Regardless of what you think about the Acosta incident, this one wasn't equivalent. Even if you think it was wrong for Gutierrez to have been made to leave, the incidents are not equivalent.

A Trans Immigrant Activist Interrupted Obama During a Pride Reception. Was She Justified?

Of course, that doesn't mean some people might not be hypocritical in their reactions to the two events.

Yeah really.

When I think of all the times Obama called them enemies of the people and told them they were stupid and liars and told them to shut up and sit down. Oh wait Obama never did those things.

Never mind.

He basically did with fox news and Limbaugh.
