Stuff That (Increasingly Desperately Disillusioned) Obama Supporters Say

203. Funny

but I've always considered you to be what you are accusing BBI of.

I used to play a game here on DU. Those I suspected of having nefarious intentions I added to my "buddy list". Weeks or months later I'd have a look-see of my list to see who was tombstoned. My stats showed I was approx. 50% right. I figured some of the ones I added to my 'buddy list" who weren't TSd were just more clever.

Now I've gotten off topic from the OP so I'm going to chime in with my thoughts on the matter.

The video is a bit "amateurish" and over the top - but I believe the point it is trying to make is a valid one. I believe the people who are so deeply offended by it are the ones who really don't want us to actually hold our elected officials feet to the fire, including Obama's. We've become a nation of followers, we want a "saviour" or a daddy figure, someone we can completely have faith in, so we don't have to do anything ourselves. Well, we see where that has gotten us - a deep big fat mess. There were "Casandras" that have been trying to tell us this for years, and now they are trying to tell us again. We can no longer afford to be complacent - we can no longer afford to be "fanbois" and approve everything and anything just because someone with a D behind their name says that's the way it should be or is going to be. We can no longer wait because we are sitting on a great big precipice and a lot more people are going to be hurt if we do.

So if you find yourself thinking that it is not very democratic party-like to object or point out what is being done or not done by the democratic party's elected officials, and that we need to burn those at the stake who do point out the defiencies of those officials, I'd like to ask you to question yourselves - have you become what you supposedly hate, a closed minded right-wing fear monger? Someone no longer able to think objectively and question what is being done by our own party? If so, you are not part of the solution, you are a part of the problem, not the other way around, and you will be as guilty of pushing us over the edge as the Republicans.
