One of the problems we had during the Bush era was that the Bush haters brought up so many ridiculous, outlandish criticisms that folks like me that lean right had to spend time and effort refuting, while we would have been better off being able to spend our time legitimate criticisms of Bush, of which there are plenty to be had. I fear the same thing happening with Obama. His supporters are going to spend so much time refuting ridiculous claims of Obama-haters that legitimate criticisms from within his own party won't have as much time to get aired. And that's why the Tea Party and other folks looking for a better government than what Obama is giving us need to emphasize the importance of staying on message and only using legitimate criticisms of Obama. If the Tea Party's message start leaning towards crap like "Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii" or "Obama is Stalin," they will lose me and a whole lot of other people.
