You Go To Far.
I'm no blind-faith Obama supporter and many have attacked me for questioning and criticizing this president's moves and motives. However, I fully support Obama and Kerry taking credit for the turn toward diplomacy with Syria - something I suggested ten days ago.

So whether Obama deserves all/some/any of the credit, I'm glad to give it to him because the major issue is that we avoid an escalation of violence in the Middle-East. Put me on Team Obama for this one.
But when Obama supporters take their victory dance as an excuse to attack those who have consistently stood up for Democratic values that Obama hasn't by calling us racists, they go too far.
You go too far in your need to win when you call us racist.
You go too far in your desire to dehumanize us.
You go too far in your thirst for victory at all costs.
You go too far because the end result is dividing us all even further than we are now - at a time when we should all be able to come together in celebration.
Is it worth it?
Is hurting "the other side" more important than moving forward with an agenda the vast majority of us agree with?
