(62,536 posts)I have been 100% consistent on this issue. But the slanders against the Barack Obama Group (BOG) are total bullshit lies. If I believed otherwise I would distance myself away from that group. I assure you that it is 100% false what is being said. I closely watched the BOG because at the time they were being shit on by the PSYOP / right wing infiltrators here as being pro-war. It became totally clear to me at the time that the BOG was purely hated by the right wing posters here without anything to back it up.
BOG isn't heavily trafficked. You can go back a half dozen or so pages and see the Syria posts. They were 100% neutral and 95% supportive of the President. A lot of BOGers were having internal conflicts over it. And if you search their individual names and this site in Google you'll find the vast majority of posters there were against military action. It is total revisionism and bullshit to ascribe a pro-war sentiment to the BOGers.
And yes, I say this with 100% confidence because I personally did this. I wanted to see positions and test where things were heading and I found that even Obama supporters were against it, and I suspect even the administration did something similar and found that it was a bad move, which is why diplomacy was broached.
