That is their tactic.

Make the gun owners look like terrorists.
Make the anti-zero’s look like bias bible thumpers.
Make the anti-raising tax citizens look like anti-patriots.

To the everyday “conservative” that only watch TV or
Letterman, they believe their own people are doing bad things
and they don’t blame the leftist that are actually doing it.

We just have to pick our battles.

Personally, I’m all for doing whatever it takes to expose the liar(s).
Personally, I don’t even care if it is the left doing it. I’m just saying...be aware
and don’t be distracted.

I didn't ask whether liberals like to make us look bad, or try to make us look bad, I'm asking WHY making the President look like a comic book villain will make us look bad.

As for my opinion on possible backlash, see post 143, which I agree with completely.
