Reply #81: Calling my post condescending is hilarious...

[ljm2002]

...given the number of posts here over the last months talking about the motivations of anyone here who dares to criticize President Obama.

And speaking of condescending: your aside of - whether he's "pure" enough in that regard to suit some people or not - strikes me as pretty condescending.

By "them" I was alluding to the contingent here who brook no criticism of Obama, and who respond to each and every post doing so with instant snark, occasional lists of links, assignment of nefarious motives, etc. If you have not seen those posts then I question why you are bothering to respond at all, since it is clear you have not been following this ongoing saga here at DU.

Anyway: it is always risky to assign motivations to others, whether it is me doing it or someone else doing it. I recognize that. I also recognize there are real concerns. I'm not trying to minimize them, but I cannot agree that we must withhold any criticism.
