re: #306 Charles

But if it makes you feel better to denigrate me by implying that I’m only saying this stuff to be “politically correct,” go right ahead.

I don’t think you’re insincere or trying to curry favor. To be blunt, you could live to be 100 and morph into the next Ed Asner and the Left would never, ever forgive you for the last eight years so it’s a moot point.

I’d like to see what Juan, Sully et al have said that is complimentary … knowing those two, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a backhanded compliment (“even Charles Johnson *wink wink yes that Charles Johnson*) agrees with us so anyone who opposes the president must be a true hard-core rightwingnut).

Nevertheless it does seem clear you’re pivoting pro-Obama - quicker to praise him than I think is warranted, quicker to defend than is warranted also. I wonder if it’s your passionate objection to creationism that is the driving force. Sort of like how Sullivan pivoted when Bush praised the DOMA in the 2005 SOTU address. It is interesting to watch, I wills say that.
