281. We all hated George W. Bush. That's what kept most of us here during those dark years.

We didn't vote for him, we didn't support with our time and efforts. Those are things we did for Barack Obama. Yes some of us are disappointed in some of his policies and criticize him. I think that's healthy and makes for an interesting debate. Something that is desirable on a message board. But you are ignoring the fact that there is also a small sub-set of posters that go on the attack and call posters who do criticize the President Putin worshipers, Ron Paul lovers, Assad lovers, the screeching far left, delicate flowers, trolls consumed by hatred and that just a few names we are called.

Whats the appropriate word to describe people who call DUers names like that? Good DUers who are not that small sub-set of people here that you refer to?

Frankly, I still hate GWB, but I am terribly disappointed in Obama.
