1. This should be a good one

:popcorn:

[Nancy Waterman]

2. We need to clearly define their talking points/propaganda

The Left is turning on Obama
The stimulus created no jobs
Obama is a failure
The rich are the "job creators"
Obama's policies are "job killers"
Obama is stirring up "class warfare"

All of it is bullshit, but it is repeated so much it begins to have power as a narrative.
More than anything, we need to work at counteracting their bogus narratives. That is the
one thing they do really well and effectively, and it gets them elected.

3. They must be reading some of the endless gripers on DU--the "Never Enoughers"

Fortunately, this isn't the majority POV, but if you thought this place was a microcosm, I could see why one might get a bit concerned.

4. Canard?

[LoZoccolo]

5. Liberals support him more than other groups, and haven't really given up support that much. n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

6. In real life this is true, but there is all this noise about primaries...

and such amongst our keyboard warriors and the chattering class.

And, that is just the Moonie Times buoying the spirits of their braindead followers.

7. You consider discussion and the freedom of speech "noise?"

If so, that explains a lot.

NGU.

9. There is "discussion" and "freedom of speech" from global warming denialists as well. n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Noise is noise-- any asshole can have an opinion, and many of the louder ones do.

[ClassWarrior]

13. ROFLMAO... "In real life this is true, but..."

"...there's all this ~gasp!~ discussion on a discussion board!!" Oh NOESSS!!



NGU.

8. according to this column

Obama is FDR, LBJ and Mussolini. :crazy:

[Bucky]

11. So is Democratic Underground.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. The media (in general)

is spewing the canard that just about EVERYBODY is turning on Obama- blacks, jews, women, college students, the left, etc. I'm taking it with a grain of salt at the moment. :shrug:

[Leopolds Ghost]

14. Well, certainly nobody on DU has a REASON to be disappointed in Obama.

After all, good Democrats support his policies completely so far.

[Leopolds Ghost]

15. *cough* just saying

:eyes:

16. This just in...water is wet. eom
