3. You fatally undercut your case against infighting by engaging in it yourself.

"Opponents of healthcare reform have won a court case, we should oppose it" is (very possibly - I don't know the details of this court case) an excellent point to raise.

But once you try to link it to stopping criticising Obama, you fatally undercut your own case - a) you've all but guaranteed that this will turn into a threat about infighting with occasional mentions of healthcare reform and b) you've arguably made yourself a hypocrite by engaging in infighting while condemning others for doing so.

You'd get much better results if you reposted this without mention of anything except the court case.
