you know, i was talking to a guy who is running the local democratic campaign headquarters- young guy, probably in his late 20's- and i commented that these people just don't seem to get it, that's it's so frustrating trying to reason with them. he said something that surprised me for its thoughtful wisdom, considering his age, he said, "you know, i used to think that reason and a good argument could convince people on the far right that they are wrong, wrong about obama, wrong about abortion rights, etc.- but now i'm just convinced that there is a segment of that population who are beyond reason, they block out any good argument you can make, and they're just mean-spirited. they don't WANT to understand, so they never, ever will. i've basically given up on that portion of them. and i sleep better at night."

Unfortunately that is true for both extremes of the political spectrum. This time around there seems to be so much more hate for Obama and the left than in previous years. But 4 years ago, the far left had a tremendous amount of hate for Bush and the neocons.

Well, Obama could put it to rest, but he hasn't, and now he's quickly running off to Hawaii to see his grandmother because she's on her "deathbed" at the last minute, but he goes solo to a family crisis.
It just isn't adding up. Any bets that she doesn't die?
...yeah it just doesn't add up...how do statements like this get made by people. I'd honestly like to hear an apology for this statement due to the fact that it's one of the most upsetting and pathetic statements i've heard..especially when it's to give merit to a political discussion.
RIP.

yeah, but the difference is that bush and his mob EARNED our wrath, and obama was hated for stupid, often fabricated reasons. big difference.
