(28,151 posts)16. Welcome
I thought you were hit perhaps a bit too hard for that previous post. There's been a real influx of trolls lately, most too neanderthal-ish to be anything but right-wingers (facade an impossibility) but we also get the self-proclaimed lefties who can't abide President Obama and make quiet a career of campaigning against him. Sometimes they get whacked, sometimes they don't (yet).
Anyhow, I don't have a problem with different views, at least those that are actually earnest views and not talking points that are posted a dozen times a day. If you're here as a Dem and you just want to talk politics with like minded people, you will enjoy the place. My favorite part is the wit, some brilliantly funny posters here.

Yes you most likely are correct. However, there is a point to be made here.

No, but if you're fearful, ignorant and racist you almost certainly don't like the President.

No, you left out white. Fearful, ignorant, racist and nonwhite doesn't add up to disliking Obama

right, if you sift it and twist it enough, then it doesn't mean what it clearly means

She's quite correct. We have to get a LOT more militant about it. And relentlessly, too.
