222. So absolutely nothing I've posted is factual? Only HATE?

I'll suppose that you've actually read at least one of the linked articles from sources such as:

-The Guardian
-Reuters
-CNBC
-NBC
-Forbes
-Politicususa

Sure, they're all liars and haters. I'm sure that you spend your time on DU and at home calling those sources liars and haters.

I note that the politicususa.com story about the GOP/KeystoneXL was written by RMuse. Isn't that a DUer? Is RMuse a liar, a hater?

Or only when they appear in an OP which challenges your world view?

Questioning the president is "hate"? Never question the president? Nothing Obama does should ever be questioned? Can you people actually hear yourselves? It's supposed to be the republican party attacking critical thought, but I guess it's in free form in the democratic party as well.
