(11,936 posts)39. A lot of them are only attacking from that direction because they KNOW it was real and effective.
They want to knock the wind out of President Barack Obama's display of humanity as he does all he can to lead on an issue that is very much based around general societal humanity. They hate that kind of sentiment, but they understand what it looks like and how effective it can be because they have fought it off, opposed it and made it the opposite of their own manufactured nature.
