But I keep hearing this refrain: Its (actually “it’s”) bad strategy.

---

The same people who keep saying “It’s bad strategy” are the same ones advising we captiulate and compromise (yes, it is a dirty word!).

Listen up, BENDING OVER AND SPREADING YOUR CHEEKS IS BAD STRATEGY AND THAT’S WHAT THE GOP HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL ELECTION CYCLES! IT’S TIME TO FIGHT!

Substitute GW Bush for Obama in this situation and suddenly the left would have very little problem with it.

I see their double standard but I refuse to conform to it.

And if it’s a race issue, then what they’re saying is that Obama shouldn’t be subject to certain types of criticism because of his perceived “race”. In other words, he should be treated differently because he’s “black”. That would be... wait for it... RACIST!

[Paradox]

Its just plain stupid. There are PLENTY of ways of poking fun of this asshat. No need to take it to this point. Threatening an effigy of the sitting President, and at a RODEO no less. Maybe you live in am echo chamber, but this is all they need to point and say "See? Evihl dipshit redneck!"...

I'm tired of having to defend idiocy like this. This was in poor taste, and I cannot think of a SINGLE person who is more likely to dislike Obama because of it, but on the other hand, I CAN think of THOUSANDS who might now vote against us, because of this.

Why does our side have to be so dumb.
