Do you know how often fire fighters “fight fire with fire”? Almost never. And the reason is that in most cases it would be counter productive.

It is just plan stupid to behave the way the MoveOn.org crowd behaves. When you stomp and scream, and make personal attacks rather than substantive attacks, you are validating and legitimizing that manner of attack.

MoveOn.org’s tactics are unamerican whether those tactics are used by the left or the right. Like it or not President Obama is our president, and for that alone he deserves our respect. We should show MoveOn.org that we are better than they are and how to be respectful even to those with whom we disagree, especially went they hold high office.

The left can't win on the merits, because their arguments have no merit, but the right cannot win by acting like the left. The right holds principles that most people believe in, but when the right behaves badly, it detract from our principles and push people away.

It's the slash and burn mentality that prevented us from selecting a good candidate for the presidency last year, and that resulted in electing Obama for president. If we don't ruin things, we may be able to vote him out of office in 2012, but if we if we keep acting like MoveOn.org, we may as well join them, because it will be just as if we are pulling the lever for four more years.

Blah blah blah....

We tried your way...it doesn't work with these people. Just like being "nice" doesn't work with terrorists. This poster doesn't kill anyone, socialist/communist policies do. Go take your nice to the work camps with ya. You are in denial and you don't have what it takes to save your own freedom.
