it's based on past bad blood.

Myself, I flip-flopped in this long running war.

For the first two years, I tried to defend Obama from his attacks. And boy, did the Obama critics seem obnoxious. They didn't want to discuss rationally, they just wanted to poke people in the eye with a stick.

Then Obama crossed my Rubicon, and now I struggle to say something nice about him. And boy does it seem like the Obamabots are obnoxious.

Point is, a lot of people are being poked in the eyes with sticks. It's easy to notice when it is your eye, harder to notice when it is your allies poking other people in the eye.

The body of the text was making the point that for years here on DU critics of Obama have been calling supporters of Obama "blind cheerleaders" simply because they were supporters. Heck it started even in the primaries when the derisive term "Obamabot" was used by many Clinton supporters to talk about Obama supporters.
