I've thought about being manipulative and testing this theory with a post like: "Hey, Obama may have his faults, but he sure seems to be a good father to his kids". I have a hunch that there would be some very negative remarks about the President in response.

And to those of you who are fuming at this, let's take an objective measure: imagine you are a secret service agent supervising the President's visit to Sumter Landing next month. (ok, ok, that'll never happen, but just make-believe for a minute!).. you've been briefed about TOTV and read what these posters have said about the President.
Would you make sure they were weren't anywhere nearby?
I think the answer is "yes".
