...he's a radical leftist with a violent allergy to all things military... doesn't sound like a data point to me, it sounds more like a highly subjective and blatantly partisan opinion.

I can only conclude that in your eyes it makes me a "radical leftist with a violent allergy to all things military". For that matter, it suggests anyone who supports Obama at all to be a RLWAVATATM. In fact, I suppose anyone who doesn't condemn him with the same vigor as you do can also be conveniently characterized the same way.

Well, just for the record, I happen to think Obama is politically pretty close to where I am ideologically on most but not all issues (which does not necessarily imply I agree with all his policies and decisions). But I certainly don't consider myself either radical about, or violently allergic to, anything. But what do I know? I'm just a typical liberal, incapable of thinking for himself or generating an original thought and in deep need of instruction and guidance from the wisdom of the Right.

But thanks for sharing that little nugget with us, although I think it reveals much more about you than it does Mr Obama.
