5. So - being against striking Syria means one is an Obama-hater?

I have whiplash today - how I feel about individual policies is meaningless now, seems like.
I agree that Holder should stop prosecuting pot use in states that have legalized it - so therefore I am an Obama-lover?
I don't think we should strike Syria so I am an Obama-hater?
What silly tripe that is.
I don't care about Obama at all - he is a lame duck president and his hands are tied by Congress. I am looking to 2014, and only hope the Dems that are running have an easy time of it.
I only care about the things that are done by Washington. Good does not equal bad depending on who is prez.

when used, it is an attack that says the other side acts only out of raw, vicious emotion.

Evil runs a close second.
