(18,115 posts)wrong, either by accident or intentionally. They see Obama not as a political figure,but some kind of idol or hero. Their world view can not accept he could do wrong.
Then, there are others who are obvious shills. They prey on the ignorant believers to grab and spread the message. On DU, there is only one I am all but certain is a paid shill. There are only one or two others I strongly suspect. But, for the majority of the Obama can do no wrong crowd, they are just strong believers.
There are also a few who are willing to ignore uncomfortable facts because they believe a positive spin will be better for the Democratic Party. I can't fault them for that. I disagree with the approach. I think it does more harm in the long run, but can understand where they are coming from.
Of course, there is overlap in the above.
