    I am not so much anti you guys calling people names and all of that - heck I do it too, though I have started as of yesterday trying to stop it.

    What I am against is you guys calling Obama's supporters naive, weak-willed, intellectually elitist cultists, and then whining when Obama's supporters respond.

    The victim play is played out for you guys. It has failed quite thoroughly, and to be honest I think it has backfired. It has driven support away from you.
