I'm going to ignore the explosive irony of you typing that first sentence in reply to someone, but I'd give this to you. Criticizing Obama with tons of available evidence: * rolling back previous tax cuts for the top 1% of earners can be roundly criticized by economic conservatives who believe in trickle-down economics and rewarding innovation, etc. Very sound arguments to make there, even if I agree with the policy overall. * continuing and apparently even expanding warrantless wiretaps. TONS to criticize by everyone here who values liberty in the US. * deficit spending. Sure, Bush did it too, etc, but this is a very valid place to criticize the president, given what could happen to the value of the dollar. There are tons of counter arguments, but it's a ripe field for real discussion. * not being as transparent as he led us to believe in his campaign. * etc. But... czars death panels socialist communist fascist he is a big dummy who doesn't understand the world! he "has a deep hatred for white culture" oligarcy (sic) he once met with AKORN!11!! They are the enemy! plays more golf than Bush!!!1!11! ... all of that crap doesn't really pass even the most basic sniff test for rational people interested in critical issues. It's just designed to get people very emotional and watching/listening to a given channel/program more. It is a smelly stack of red herrings, devoid of real data and analysis.
