(19,926 posts)It's very clear what your agenda is here. People who can't grasp the point of Pitt's OP and focus on his unfortunate angry outburst are exactly what you think does not exist on DU. Your behavior in this thread alone betrays your claim of being so level-headed in your opinion of Obama.
People are standing up for their principles when they criticize Obama's policies. They stood up for those same principles when Bush was president. They aren't changing their principles just because the POTUS is a Dem.
Those who do not like this criticism have thrown out their principles in order to defend a singular person, a singular politician. Those are the people who are off the deep end.
You don't like what they say about the policies? Counter it. But starting a stupid and disingenuous OP such as this, where you claim there are no "Obamabots" (your term) on DU, present straw men arguments, misquote Pitt and try to pretend it's not about him and that you are so level headed is absurd. Not only are you willing to toss out principles but you are willing to add to the divisiveness.
You and your invisible "Obamabots" (your term) are what's dangerous to our democracy because you want us to put our principles aside just so you don't have to see any criticism of Obama.
