In the interest of fairness there's been quite a bit of "flaming" towards Obama on the boards, definitely more hostility towards him than towards Palin, so I do think that the defensiveness is a bit uneven.

If posters in this thread were making unwarranted attacks on Senator Obama, I would feel the same way. I want to know the truth, an chiding me for expressing my desire for those truths isn't productive.
The hoopla around "lipstickgate" was pretty unwarranted imo.

And generally that's why I stopped posting--it seems that "unwarranted" is in the eye of the beholder too.
