In reply to the discussion: So is every complaint about Obama wrong? Or some people just don't like to hear them? [View all]pampango
(24,692 posts)It seems to me that DU'ers who tend to like Obama and what he has done think that DU is full of Obama-bashers who never have anything good to say about him. And those who tend to dislike Obama and what he has done think that it is full of Obama-worshipers who never have anything bad to say about him.
Your OP is good. You are right that a post that says "Obama is wrong not to veto indefinite detention" should not be met with "Obama has done 1000 liberal things, here is the list!!!" Of course, a post praising some action that Obama has undertaken should likewise not be met with "But Obama has done 1000 conservative things, here is the list!!!"
Whether a DU'er basically likes/trusts Obama or basically dislikes/distrusts him, it seems to be difficult for many to support (or at least ignore) threads that go against their overall opinion of Obama even if they agree with the particular opinion in an OP about something he has done.
