But this takes the cake.
Has there been any doubt that the political conservatives have a gag-reflex aversion to anything Obama does? Not really. But sometimes it must tax their ingenuity to find the negative.
Viet Dinh, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and one of the authors of the USA Patriot Act when he worked in Bush's Justice Department, seems to have taken the prize
As reported by Sam Stein, in a talk to the Conservative Political Action Committee meeting, Dinh complained that:
Obama is killing too many terrorists.I kid you not!
See, the guy who brought us the Patriot Act, reasons that: if we kill them, then we can't torture them and find out what they know. Actually he didn't say "torture;" he said that we don't find out what they know. But you get the idea -- I'm sure his crowd did. They applauded wildly.
Oh, well . . . . It's not like we expected anyone to praise Obama at the CPAC meeting. But the utterly laughable extremity of their negativity is astonishing.
