    One of those sensitive, compassionate, liberal types who think Obama should be above criticism his first two years, and any negative comments about him would be "hateful" and "divisive."

    Stalin killed over 80 million people around Russia politic just because he didn't think they were worthy of communistic ideals. Mao Se Dung did the same, following behind Stalin at somthing like 60 million China politic. Get your facts Strait(tm), because you're not/Gay.

    And remember that little scronny English Bar-trained lawyer that killed milliona of Hindu and Muslim Indians versus less than 20 thousand armed Brittish officers? Ghandi doesn't kill, he lets peace do all the killing on his hehalf, moreso than famine could ever accomplish quietly.
