That's guys just one of those bitter wingers sitting in his clubhouse "combing through all the blogs that match their POV and sneering angrily at everyone outside." Message 25620912 He should try looking in the mirror before he talks about others.

That's fine for those who want it. But you'd think they would be concerned about where their movement stands in terms of political power* and the ability to implement their policy preferences.* Freudian slip? The movement running the country currently is hardly centrist or moderate. It's hard left. Although the poster is gigging Republicans/conservatives with his comments, implicit is the notion that, on his thread, the posters are realistic, know where there movement stands and don't engage in nasty cracks. Personally, I think people should just admit what they are. The View bunch are obviously not centrist. So just say so. It's the pretense that's annoying. [Just like the pretense that the thread rules are applied evenly regardless of political persuasion.] Just like Obama's multiple levels of lies. Why not just straight out tell the American public what he's doing? While I would still disagree, I would respect the honesty. Instead, Obama seeks to control the conversation and the news dialogue. By controlling the media, he can hide what he is really doing. That's also why the "view" has so many bans.

Rules for Radicals: RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.(This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
