16. Do you delight in believing the worst of Democrats?

The OP here takes the comments of an army general and ignores that the US has civilian control over the military. You also ignore that, unlike the Iraq that this general experienced, this effort is involving many countries in the region on our side and there is a big diplomatic piece.

This post, which is completely off topic with your own op, smears Biden, who really did make a stupid comment. Here you argue that the Republicans will succeed using Benghazi against Hillary - though that has not appeared to be the case for 2 years. ( http://sync.democraticunderground.com/10025554634#post5 )

My question is do you ever give a Democrat the benefit of the doubt? In these three examples; you quote a general as proof that Obama is wrong; you take Biden listing a relatively liberal/moderate Republican who he did work with as a complete outrage - when the point is true, but using this predatory Senator was a mistake for other reasons. Had he used someone like John Heinz, his point would have been made as he was an exemplary person, Senator, father and husband. On the third you give credibility to attacks that have already been investigated repeatedly -- and while tragic, there is nothing to suggest that anything disreputable was done by Clinton.

From other posts, it is very clear you are a Democrat, which is why I am asking why you are so willing to believe that what are in some cases Republican memes.
