Hard to imagine he will soon be a year old. Time flies. How about some new pics of the lad.

What do you mean resist?
When have you ever successfully resisted being ignorant and boorish?

Bret, a word of advice... you can be an over bloated bag of hot air on many things. Your stupidity and arrogance of many things are well known to everyone, but when you get stupid with someones family, you are over the line. I neither find you funny or cute.

Link, it really doesn't matter what you think. If Fredo finds the pic offensive he can always delete my post. I thought he might get a chuckle out of it.
Also, remember that everyone has family. So I hope you show similar outrage when Raph posts his defaced pics of Obama as The Joker or when thousands millions of people parade through our nation's capital with pics of Obama with a Hitler mustache.
I mean if our own President is fair game then surely I can have a little fun on an obscure message board read by about 20 people.

Well. It's certainly startling, but don't let it be said that I can't take a joke.

I suspected as much.
Let me know if you want the little shit machine to look like Glenn Beck.

It's not that funny, IMO.
What's really sad is that Bret has no concept of where the line is. This is where flexible morality takes you.
He equates his insensitive portrayal in an Infants and Toddler thread with the rough and tumble anything goes of politics and further, compares Raph's posting of something that he didn't create, with his own twisted handiwork.

If Fredo wasn't insulted, that's what matters.... It's his kid...

If Fredo wasn't insulted, that's what matters.... It's his kid... I concur. And, I think there is a history, that makes it more of a joke. From what I remember, there was a another photo, similar. So I am thinking it was more of the same. But, it all hinges on what Fredo thinks about it. Anybody else's opinion is not that important.

If Fredo wasn't insulted, that's what matters.... It's his kid... More flexible morality on display. Think about how that logic might apply with other types of behavior and with other victims. Some behavior is wrong regardless of whether the victim thinks so or not. I'm calling Bret out on this one. He showed poor judgment here and should be man enough to acknowledge that and offer an apology regardless of Fredo's magnanimous response.

Jack look at the bright side all he's doing is dissing his master and Lord Obama. I mean no offense to Fredos kid in anyway. The Obama/baby thing just reminds me of what's governing our country. And I failed to mention how cute this kid is.

I don't think blending Obama's face to an infant in photoshop is necessarily an insult....

What's really sad is that Bret has no concept of where the line is. This is where flexible morality takes you. Why do you assume that the line is where you say it is? You say I crossed the line. I say it's way the fuck over there, if it even exists at all. On this forum Fredo gets to put the line anywhere he wants. Outside of this forum, my freedom of speech and expression doesn't stop at the point where you become offended. I'm surprised that some of you wingnuts are always talking about Obama taking away your freedoms and here you go trying to take away mine.

I suppose I could make the argument that Fredo should be flattered that little Fredobama is merged with "The One" but I won't go there. There were no hidden meanings in that one .... just a bit of fun and an opportunity to use my mad Photoshop skillz. Heck, I even kept little Fredobama's nose because I thought it was cute.

With the exception of Bill Clinton, I can't see why a person should be offended to have any President's face put on his son.
I thought it was pretty funny... if startling.

At least my post took a bit of effort, unlike the mindless re-posting of Obama caricatures that Raph posts on a daily basis.

I am having to go with Bret. The only person here who has a say on "crossing the line" within this forum is Fredo. It was funny. In a weird way.

It is a shame and a sign of the declining intelligence of society that defacing any child for any reason is funny. Bret has shown everyone on this board many times the shallowness of his intelligence and total lack of class. Everyone can agree with whom they choose. I am not interested in who sides with whom. How can anyone find this acceptable behavior?? This was a toddler thread used for families to talk about their children and grandchildren not a political site for no class games.

Outside of this forum, my freedom of speech and expression doesn't stop at the point where you become offended. Not once did I suggest that I was offended. I said that IMO it showed poor judgment to mess with a baby's picture in this thread and to then rationalize it by what others do to Obama. Does your whole universe revolve around Obama and Palin? You indeed have the freedom to express yourself however you choose and I have the freedom to tell you what I think about it. How you govern yourself as a result and the consequences of such are entirely up to you.
