"I think if you are honest about things you support Obama when is right/does right, and you criticize Obama when he is wrong/does wrong. The dishonest people don't do that: they oppose/support regardless of the facts."

yes that is what I wrote. Now how is that

"fostering the perception that if someone is supporting Obama on one issue, they might be one of those dishonest people who support him on every issue, and can therefore be dismissed as an idiot. "

and even if it does foister that perception (which it doesn't) then it of course foisters the exact same perception regarding people who oppose Obama on any one issue, not that it does that either. Instead you have invented a bizarre theory where what I wrote somehow declares all Obama supports idiots. I can assure you that theory exists only in your mind and not in anything I actually wrote, which is why of course you have resorted to "perception foistering".
