Right-wing commentators that were being used to bash Obama in 08 are also used to bash other Dems

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Cha (a host of the Barack Obama group).

I support President Obama, but really can't understand why people post things from right-wing commentators that tear him down to also tear down other Democrats. It really makes no sense at all.

perhaps great president. He has accomplished a great deal, particularly when you look at the GOP's agreement to opposed everything he tried to do no matter what it was, and the outright hatred; the minimizing of the man and his presidency, the efforts at every turn to label Obama, his family, his administration and all his accomplishments as illegitimate.

That said, I am and remain opposed to TPP and yes, am critical of Obama's stance on it.

But I'm neither right wing, nor do I intend to tear him down.

There's been OPs all over the board from the RW tearing down Hillary. Even a stupid cartoon from a rwinger that got a lot of recs in the BS group.

Didn't notice you using the Hillary Group to complain about that.
