re: #7 shiplord kirel

Sheesh! Earlier tonight I talked with my antivax friend who contracted the flu after he steadfastly refused to get the vaccine. He and his 10 year old son are recovering fairly well. I forebore mentioning the vaccine.

Unfortunately, the dad also has a very bad case of ODS.

He launched into a bitter denunciation of Obama’s trip to Dover to meet our returning war dead, calling it a “photo op” and gloating that some of the famlies allegedly refused to be photographed with the President. (It might not have occurred to Mr. Antivax/ODS that the families did not want to be photographed at all on such an occasion, POTUS or not.)

Now, I am not a big fan of Obama, and I didn’t vote for him, but I just do not understand those on the right who seem to be eaten alive with hatred for the man. They are not a loyal opposition, they are more like a pack of rabid dogs. To them, Obama literally can’t do anything right. For example, I asked Mr. Antivax how Obama’s visit to Dover would have been different if it had been a pure act of humanity and compassion rather than a cynical political ploy. His answer: If someone other than Obama had done it.

That last sentence really does sum up any Derangement Syndrome in a nutshell (pun intended). The person who is the target if the craziness comes to represent utter evil and must always be opposed no matter what they do. Its deeply sick and very sad to see.
