(576 posts)Prosense will never criticize President Obama. But she will attack anyone's charachter who does (ie. Glenn Greenwald) and uses other right wing tactics in her arguments. It is hard to take anyone seriously that cannot disagree with the President on any issue. If there is a post where Prosense disagreed with the President please let me know but I have never seen one. If Bush had signed the NDAA I strongly suspect Prosense and her supporters would not only not be defending this bill but would be screaming for his head.
And to call everyone Paulbots, or whatever, if you disagree with Obama signing NDAA is hard to believe on this website. The vast majority of those critical of Obama over NDAA and other issues, that post in this forum, will vote for Obama when the time comes because they realize how much worse the alternative would be. But to suggest everyone blindly support Obama, or get attacked, is ludicrous, dishonest, boring and counter-productive. I see very few trolls on this site who truly support Ron Paul. I do see many who agree with Paul on a few issues but would never vote for him in a general election between him and Obama. Calling anyone who agrees with Ron Paul over the president on a couple of issues a Paulbot just gives many justification for their obnoxious and closed minded behavior.
Debate the issue, don't make personal attacks. Prosense reminds me of a left wing version of Sean Hannity. Just repeat the same talking points over and over more loudly and persistently that your opponent and smear the opponent whenever possible.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
