In reply to the discussion: Extreme ODS: [View all]dawg
(10,626 posts)18. ODS is a real thing.
I don't understand why they can't just disagree with him and argue against his policies. (That's what I do )
Why does he have to be a Muslim? Or born in Kenya? Or gay? Or a socialist? (Not that there's anything wrong with any of those things; they just don't happen to pertain to President Obama.)
There are truly some crazy Republican voters where I live.
And the funny part is, they would probably all vote for a candidate with positions slightly to the left of Obama's, if only he were a tall, handsome, married white man with an (R) beside his name.

Won't do any good. Gotta grasp that mindset. Stay open minded and kind, because:

You can attach the term ODS to Klayman. Or you can attach it to progressives on DU.
