It reminds me of those who opposed the Iraq war being asked "Why do you hate America?"

"General question to all: Why is it better to worship Obama than to care about the poor elderly?"

Question: If you have a valid point to make, why is it framed as a choice between Answer A ("Do you care about the poor elderly?&quot and Answer B ("Why do you worship Obama?&quot

And BTW, when DID you stop beating your wife?
