Reply #236: No need at all for this OP

[LiberalLovinLug]

Purposely provocative title to draw in like-minded reactionists.
If there are any it is a very small minority that have used any of those three inflammatory words you brought up. Talk about a straw man. If your goal is to bully the more progressive members into shutting up about Obama's acquiescence to the Bush administration's unconstitutional behavior, I for one won't fall for it.

I fall in the middle. I think Obama is walking a fine line and trying not to upset the apple cart with too much too soon. And I also believe he is fundamentally a decent person and is personally bothered by the corruption (I can rightly call BushCo. that) of the previous admin. I don't expect him to bend over to the left as far as I would like him to, but I will not worship his every move either. I think he deserves more time.

And even if some DUer goes a little overboard, in anger, by calling Obama a "bad" name, I can give a little deference to the poster, especially when it is about something as abhorrent as torture.

What you do cali, is worse. You create a straw man. (An implied significant percentage of DUers screaming about fraud, warmongering, and corruption) and then get on your high donkey and shoot it down. And all it does is draw out the extremism on both sides into this thread for what....? So you can get your thrills lashing out at anyone who you can entice to respond?

These types of OPs have to go away. They are totally useless, unless the purpose is to stifle dissent. It might as well have been titled "Obama is a murderer, He's a pedophile, He's a rapist." jeanpalmer had every right to express his/her opinion that dropping bombs on 500 innocent people makes you a warmonger. I don't agree, taken in the context that Obama inherited a war, and also the previous admins incompetence in crippling al Qaeda, but I can empathize with jeanpalmer because he/she gave a REASON for their strong opinion. If there are examples of posters just simply trolling threads and calling Obama any of those names for NO REASON whatsoever, please give an example.

In fact it is you that are throwing out accusations with no other reason than to throw shit on the wall and see if it sticks, and how many other flies you can attract.
