"My Head Exploded When Obama Sanctimoniously Said, 'We Tortured Some Folks'"

103. It was even more horrifying than I knew

And it brought it all home to me. I urge you to make it an OP or to partner with a longtime DUer to help you (it will get more hits that way). People need to be hit with the reality of just what we're talking about before they dismiss it. If one has the courage to look at your link and then come back and say, "Oh well, move on" then I will stop screaming at them because that person is a sociopath.

But this is what happens all the time on DU. The cheerleaders must have an alert any time the word Obama is used because they swarm those threads making sure to derail all criticism or discussion. "What could he do? The wingers made him do it? Your'e a racist!" Happens all the time. One article discussing a policy issue invokes His name: swarm. Same day, same discussion, but his name specifically is not used and they don't show up. Defending Obama from all criticism is the most important thing, not advocating for good policy, not working against bad, even to the point of trying to gaslight torture. Torture.

We should be working together, to condemn these acts as one loud voice as we did under Bush. As I said to another poster where I just linked to your comment, it is showing that Democrats are as big of hypocrites as Republicans.
