#1 And there is the Obama_Obsessive_Pinocchio_Syndrome. Can't help himself from constantly lying to the American people.

Presidential_Delusional_Syndrome? Has the delusion he is president for life.

#2 Typical liberal these days...can't understand why anyone would ever disagree with him, obviously he's correct in all things and anyone who disagrees is simply misinformed.

Scientology does this in its "auditing". If you don't understand what's going on, it means you need to have it explained carefully until you do understand.

#4 When you listen to them, they consider dissent to be something outside of 'reason' in their universe. Their perspective has been implemented before. Apparently, it's the only way they can grasp that someone has a different opinion. It's why in the end, you can't reason back with them. Their minds are closed.

#5 The latest dust-up between liberal commentator Juan Williams and NPR tells me the radical left is out to squelch free speech. This bunch in control are dangerous to our liberties.

#6 Juan Williams is not exactly the patron saint of journalistic balance, even left-wing balance. See this bit from Best of the Web:

For a clue, let's examine another Williams quote. On "Fox News Sunday" Aug. 22, as we noted the following day, Williams said the following in a discussion of poll results showing that large numbers of Americans doubt President Obama's claim to be Christian:

I think that this is a malevolent effort by people who are his critics to make him out to be the "other" in American life--that he's not "really an American," he's some sort of Manchurian candidate. . . . I think it's the same people who say, you know, "This guy's a socialist." I think it's now about a third of Americans who--and overwhelmingly Republicans--who say he wasn't born in the country. People who want to say that he favors whites over blacks [sic] in terms of what the Justice Department is doing with the New Black Panther Party, it's about reparations for slavery. I think these are people who are uncomfortable with a black president, or uncomfortable with his policies. They don't like Barack Obama.

This was considerably more objectionable than Williams's Monday comment. In the earlier case he was attacking ordinary Americans, baselessly accusing them of racism because they have doubts about the president or are uncomfortable with his policies.

#7 Williams is a liberal. He readily admits that. Many in the media try to mask their left-wingedness and pretend to be objective reporters. Maybe I should say they pretend to be reporters. Generally Williams is fairly reasonable. However, when it comes to discussing Obama, I find him totally unreasonable. He can't find it in himself to be critical of Obummble when he ought to.
