(23,872 posts)So you're moving the goalposts a bit. Can we also include the numerous insults and snide insinuation tossed by the Obama policy critics our way? It seems to me that you guys can't take what you love to dish out. For example: see your highly insulting, buzzword-laden post I'm choosing to respond to here. Boy, you guys love dishing out the insults in rules-friendly ways.
Let's face it: this is not your DU or mine. It's ours. Some of us are upset over Obama policies that seem at times to be more than just having to deal with a recalcitrant Constitutional system of government. Some of us are upset over Obama criticism that seems at times to be more like focused, unmitigated hate. For example, I myself was disappointed over Larry Summers being the presumptive nominee for the Fed chair. But he wasn't the Fifth Horseman. Even Krugman, no fan of Larry Summers, knew he was better by a long shot than a lot of people out there.
But Barack Obama supporters aren't leaving here and neither are Obama policy critics - especially since there are many people here in both camps. It's not a sign of a lack of ethics or morals to have the President's back. It's not a sign of a lack of loyalty or honor to criticize the President's policies. And until both camps stop framing the other side in these bullshit ways, the great DU Purity War of 2013 is never going to be resolved.
