2. Exactly. His positions will be mischaracterized. Look beyond the headlines.
It's only just starting.

5. There is a lot of "concern" out there.
Funny how the "sourcing" of the myriad concern posts seem to emanate from just a few.

I have the same reservations as you, Bonobo.

Recommended.

6. The Chavez one was interesting because the poster reversed the headline
The actual headline just said Chavez says U.S. ties would be no warmer with Obama.
Not earth-shattering news. But the poster worked hard to make it more inflammatory.

some DU posters here;
working to get McCain elected.

10. That one has a certain posting style
Reminds me of someone that was tombstoned. They too, hid behind cherry-picked bits of articles and misleading OP titles. Oh well, I guess there's no originality left in this world.

13. No, not better
Just a certain style. JD was hostile and frankly, deluded. This one had, shall we say, an artist's flair for implication in the guise of linked articles.
