40. ODS is apropos for a segment of the population that has a knee-jerk negative reaction
Sun Sep 1, 2013, 04:47 PM
Sep 2013

against this president before ALL the facts and information is available. ODSers tend to exhibit an irrational, highly emotional and often visceral hatred for this particular president and tend to hold him accountable for absolutely every event, every action, every consequence--seldom exercising logical thought, action or judgment. Even when the president makes a sound decision on an issue, ODSers are never satisfied, finding something else to ridicule him about, moving the goalposts even further to almost impossible heights. OSDers will never give this president credit for anything, for they suffer from this condition that will never allow them to.

ODSers are NOT--I repeat--NOT people who criticize this president who holds this president's feet to the fire. They are NOT those who have legitimate concerns and voice those concerns in a tactful, reasonable, honest and thoughtful manner. Rather, they are usually those who are so blinded by their disdain for this president that they are willing to just make shit ip to suit their point of view; they are willing to go through any lengths to support that POV.

If that doesn't fairly describe you, the OP or others, I humbly apologize. However, there are plenty of ODSers here at DU and elsewhere and I had to point that out.

ODS is apropos for a segment of the population that has a knee-jerk negative reaction Liberal_Stalwart71 Sep 2013 #40
So basically ODS is just the hip new term for an all-inclusive evil racist ant-Presidential strawman Dragonfli Sep 2013 #49
"Segment of the population" does not equal "all inclusive". Reading comprehension is key!! ;) Liberal_Stalwart71 Sep 2013 #53
Yes I know, there are none in the BOG for instance, but you still see them everywhere don't you? Dragonfli Sep 2013 #55

Yep, count on the guardian for your news sources, they might not have the right details Thinkingabout Sep 2013 #5
The Guardian is a valid news source. Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #9
Since when did you start regarding The Guardian as sketchy? 99th_Monkey Sep 2013 #13
It should not matter what the subject is about when they print incorrect details and do not correct Thinkingabout Sep 2013 #18
They haven't printed incorrect details. Not.At.All. Cooley Hurd Sep 2013 #21

So exactly WHAT "details" did The Guardian "not get right"? nt 99th_Monkey Sep 2013 #29
