A few right-wingers keep posting ridiculous anti-Obama rants or photos (Obama eats dog meat, his mother was a whore, etc) so I started just deleting them.

But maybe that's a mistake. Perhaps I should charge them to post their anti-Obama rants...

They aren't constructive, factual, or useful. None are meant to be used for intelligent debate. They are all one-sided. The primary reasons these are posted is to get negative attention. So don't honor them with any. Press ignore and all will be solved.

As long as you delete the ridiculous rants from the pro-Obama posters... Equal time.......

And why not? I've made plenty of anti-Obama arguments. The problem the right-wingers have, is that everything that is bad about Obama, is something the right-wingers like and is basically the GOP platform. You know, things like: pro-torture, drone killings of civilians, spending massive amounts on the military, passing the NDAA, voting in favor of keeping the PATRIOT Act. The thing is, Obama is basically a right-winger. But his party and skin color are wrong. The only difference between Romney and Obama is that Romney wants to 1. Eliminate all laws keeping corporations in check 2. End all taxes on the richest 1% 3. Overturn Rode v. Wade 4. Ban gay marriage Those are the only four policy differences between the two presidential contenders. That's it. Out of thousands of issues and policies, those are the only four material differences. No wonder right wingers have to make up bullshit. Otherwise, any attack they made on Obama would apply to Romney and just about every Republican in office as well. Meanwhile, the rest of us who are sane, see little difference in both the policies and the approach to government between the two. NPR even asks Are Obama And Romney The Same Guy?. With the exception of the above four policies, mostly yes.

An additional policy difference between them is RyanCare, i.e. ObamneyCare extended to seniors in place of Medicare. Adding RyanCare to the mix increases the total significant policy differences to five, but in tone the Republicans have become much more theocratic.
