Obama: Outright Evil, Or Simply Wrong?

That's the title of a piece written by Michael Medved here, and I'll jump to his answer: Obama (in his view) is "simply wrong".  He goes on to chasten the Republican rank-and-file, who express vitriol at Obama in hyperbolic terms ("he's a socialist anti-Christ blah blah blah").  This tactic, Medved insists, will alienate moderates and independents (who Republicans need), and leave conservatives as nothing more that madmen howling in the wilderness.

What's interesting is the comments.  Seems that Medved went out amongst the wolves and told them to chill…. upon which he got eaten

UPDATE:  Along those lines, a reader of Rosie O'Donnell's blog has something to say to the outraged right:

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in  Iraq.

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.  Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans…oh hell no.

Pass it on.
