These men (Will, Kristol, Krauthammer, etc) are simply analyzing the decision that Obama makes and the effects they think such decisions will have on America. They are quite critical of Obama’s decisions for the most part. Personal attacks and general criticisms of Obama’s character and worthiness to hold office may feel good to hear, but those sorts or remarks are in poor taste, are unprofessional, serve as poor arguments for the matter at hand, and give opponents easy targets upon which counter attack.
Trust me. I don’t like Obama anymore than you do, but the people in this country have chosen him to be our leader. Ridiculing the man only makes it personal to all who support him. The best way for these critics that you mention to go is to simply continue to point out what Obama’s doing and what effect it will have on the country. In the end, if the folks don’t care that Obamacare is a dissaster and that we are being dragged into socialism, then that’s what we get......and yes, it breaks my heart to even think what I just wote.
Your sense of honor, decorum and fair-play is wasted on Democrats, and to a large extent on a lot of conservatives and others who have had enough.
The fact is that ridicule, derision and mud-slinging WORKS! To a Democrat supporter, it is all about feeling and 'personal'. Arguing with reason and logic doesn't phase them one doggone bit! They always resort to 'personal' - the kind of ad hominem attacks their media Shills and Party Pundits create for them in petty sound bites.
It is the primary stock-and-trade for Democrats AND the media when it comes to a Republican (one they're not trying to elect) or Conservative.
And, I still believe for these pundits I've identified, their primary goal is to be the Loyal (but not too vocal) Opposition so they can maintain their cush jobs and existence. They are worthless to us.
