Lois Lerner Emails Released: "Lincoln Should Have Let The South Go..."

No, you're far left because there isn't a single example of you ever criticizing anything or anyone on the left regardless of how ridiculous the issue was...

No, now you're dodging. I don't think Obama ever criticized anything he himself did. So that makes him far left by your standards because I'm far left according to you on account of my supposedly not criticizing him. See how that works? You are essentially saying Obama is far left.

As to the bailouts, my understanding is that those agreements were made under Bush. If I understood correctly, they became law and Obama's hands were essentially tied. You may wish to blame the architect.

Precisely. Ricter has openly stated that he does this - not necessarily because he believes in not criticizing the point, but because he believes he's doing some sort of balancing act with the amount of negativity already presented on the case. I don't follow that all that well, but he's at least stated why he does it. In Freddie's case, he's just that rabid.

To his partial credit, he did agree that Holder failed to live up to his AG hype for several reasons...Nonetheless, I still don't think he read the article by Matt Taibbi, and fought tooth and nail to actually criticize a member of this administration.

No, it's because you are a lemming. You never break from the narrative. Instead of sticking your head out and disagreeing with some policy decision, you go out of your way to rationalize it (Ricter does the same thing)...

Tsing assesses things on a case by case basis...and FWIW, this "opposite is equal" standard can also be applied...Go ahead and show me how many on the so called "right" were still singing Bush's praises 7 years later (2007)...Now, I already know that you will make a snarky remark about Bush being such an inferior President to Obama...Truth be told, they're is very little difference.

You and your butt buddies take solace by holding court in a fringe forum. P&R is such a forum. Feel all that raw the power all you want, but you're nothing more than gnats underfoot.

I'm not dodging anything. We're not talking only about Obama (although I do agree he is far left, just not as much as you). We're talking about anyone on the left. Any politician. Any issue on the left. Any narrative from the left.

I do blame the architect. But Obama ran on a platform about prosecuting Wall Street for the financial crisis. How many people were prosecuted by his AG again? Can you remind me? How many TBTF banks were dismantled? Where was the legislation Obama pushed to get Glass Steagall reinstated? Can you show me where I'm missing his accomplishments in reforming Wall Street?

What I best recall is that the Right fought Obama at every single turn. What was the Right's singular objective at the expense of everything else?

Well, I hate to break it to you...but this country is very divided...Do you not remember the 8 years prior with Bush and all of the vitriol against his policies (rightfully so in numerous cases)...In your case, you view any and all opposition to O's policies as racist, since you personalize anything negative spoken about your beloved administration.
