101. Being high-minded has nothing to do with it.

It has to do with recognizing that not all anti-Obama threads are born of true criticism, or true concern.

But if you choose to believe they are, so be it.

Asking me to link to every post I believe is founded in pure Obama hatred is like me asking you to link to every anti-Obama post and explain how it's NOT pure Obama hatred.

You became tiresome a long time ago. But I suspect you knew that all along.

Does hatred equal criticism to you? n/t Summer Hathaway Dec 2012 #32
Criticism equals criticism. You can ignore it, listen to it, learn from it R. Daneel Olivaw Dec 2012 #37
