obviously you already know this, Charles, but I’ll just point out that this is the exact tactic of the conservatives for a long long long time.
They just want you to surrender and give up. they know the more ridiculous they are, the more exhausted anyone with a brain becomes.

it is the entire MO of the teabaggers / GOP right now. they honestly just want us all, including the president, to grow so tired of the ranting that we just walk away.

sadly, oftentimes, the tactic works.
