In reply to the discussion: Surprised by the atmosphere here.... [View all]Progressive dog
(6,900 posts)138. You started trying to be difficult and stayed
there. You refuse to negatively characterize any of the Obama detractors, but you have no problem calling supporters "cheerleaders."
That doesn't make you a neutral arbiter. As far as your questions, they again show your bias. You asked not one question that implies that anyone ever unfairly criticized the president, that anyone re-posted libertarian conspiracy theories that were accepted by many. Don't pretend to be neutral.

I see LBJ for what he is: A President who lied the country into war using a false incident.
