In reply to the discussion: Irony of ironies: The Ron Paul Libertarian's one way out is the "land of Chavez and Bolivar" [View all]Kurovski
(34,655 posts)75. "100% evil", "villian"...those are your words.
In this thread I saw Obama referred to as an "emperor" which is what Bush was called when he sat in the White House with the same undemocratic policies that are still in place now.
You do what you do, and you are not alone. I'm at DU infrequently but it's always the same "Love-hate" squad "putting words in peoples mouths" and telling folks what their emotions are instead of sticking to the topic.
It's a tactic...and we know it. And the more it is engaged in, the more people figure it out.

What's childish is rephrasing everything in this binary, good/evil way like you keep doing.

WTF? It's hagiographic to comment on Michelle Obama's graceful beauty and fashion choices?
