People acting as apologists and/or attack dogs for Obama in many of these letters are not addressing the specifics in Sirota's article at all. They're attacking the messenger, setting up straw men and ignoring all substance. It's one fallacy after another.
Is political discourse in this nation really just fundamentally broken? It seems like the Freeper mentality of the later Clinton years is now almost de rigueur. We live in a cult of fanatic personality worship and personal hate. It seems that for many, principle is not even an afterthought. How does this all end? I think not well.
