(10,559 posts)You are contemptuous of President Obama at a level I personally reserve for George W. Bush, and you apparently aren't ashamed to show it.
I have been reading your posts for nearly ten years; you are an eloquent writer, and when you decide to "bite" with your wit, "scathing" is simply not an adequate description.
However. I am nearly ready to put you on Ignore because your comments are very Rush/Sean/Fox like, and frankly, if I wanted to read such things, I wouldn't be a member of DU.
This is *NOT* to say that your opinions on "points of policy" aren't valid, or that I believe we should all bow low before any elected official with a "D" after their name.
What I am telling you is that the hyperbole you are putting forth is coming across as personal, the level of viciousness is similar to those who profit from hate speech, and it is becoming hard to believe you actually support reasoned discourse on matters of opinion and/or policy.
I have personally found that "throwing a hissy fit" is a great way to get attention on a message board that thrives on controversy (someday over drinks we can talk about that), but seriously, unless you are interviewing for a regular gig as a contributor to a right wing rag, some of your comments are frankly over the top.
Best, Ida
