This is what Obama is, a political thug!

Now you're changing the subject. The subject was their honest belief that their cause is in the best interests of the people. What tactics they may use to achieve their cause is another matter.

Remember that the communist revolutionaries were thugs big time but they were thuggish in their pursuit of what they sincerely believed to be in the best interests of the people, a proletarian revolution. To prevail it was necessary to be thuggish. The ends justify the means and all that. Behaving thuggishly does not preclude sincerity of belief in the cause. It often emphasizes it. Look at someone like Jack Bauer. He's a thug. Do you for one moment think that he is not sincerely motivated by what he believes to be the best interests of the populace?
