Reply #17: This is really the litmus test for seriousness on DU

Anyone who promotes this "walkback" nonsense is at best a ridiculous SUCKER for media stupidity, and loses credibility that way. At worst, the "walkback" promoters are obvious knee-jerk haters who have no critical faculty or judgment when it comes to Obama: they hate everything. Hell, I even got one of Obama's most (vociferous and reasonable) critics on this board to step back from jumping on the "walkback" bandwagon - it was a clear sign that he is a serious critic of the administration, rather than a silly and stupid hater.

I think this is really the issue where we will see people's true colors, or true intellectual capacities. Those trumpeting "walkback" are either remarkably stupid or remarkably incapable of forming sound judgments. Either way, it is not pretty, and they should be rigorously avoided on this board.
