(7,099 posts)People are attacked as "haters" over simple and perfectly sound criticisms. It's disingenuous to pretend that all this whining about poor Obama getting beaten up at DU is because of a very few posters that make a claim like about Michael Hastings (I've not seen that claim here, btw).
The current pout-fest going on is because of the amount of criticism. They aren't running around going "well you have a point but you've taken it too far!" Instead they say the current NSA problem isn't really news and deny there's anything legitimate to discuss at all. And no, not all approach it like that but the percentage of Obama's ardent supporters doing so well exceeds the percentage of his critics who think he's working his way through a hit list or anything so specious.
