I mentally tagged a sort of unsaid qualifier onto Icarus' " ..tainted..." comment along the lines of, "...in the oppinion of some."

Yes. Maybe you're right.
Maybe this:
Quote...............if he had
Means:
Quote"...in the oppinion of some."

Communication --It is a pain in the eye.
:picard facepalm:

Icarus also voted for Obama twice and finished with a link from a man defending him. But I know, all too well, how possible it is to see something that can be interpretted as a slight then get blinkered vision where the "offending words" seem to be in bright red, 36pt, bold, Arial black. The knee doth jerk mightily!

One of the reasons that I sometimes wait up to half an hour after writing a quick riposte. I reread it, reflect on it, then edit it into still strong but more considered form!

I don't think anyone is offended, here, I was just confused about who said what. --That's all. Icarus said some things, and "...in the oppinion of some." were statements made by someone else. I think it's clear now.

There are no "words" that seem to be in bright red, 36pt, bold, Arial black...only one word: "tainted."

And you're not just a little crazy -- you're gloriously mad.
:notsure: Is this...good...Or...bad?

It's glorious.  It's beyond mere good or bad, it's an attribute of the legendary.

:yes!:

I think it should have the word "splendid" in it.  Splendidly aberrant?

OK.

I love Cyrano -- he's quite gloriously mad.  Warrior, poet, lover, philosopher; he was magnificent, if a little obsessed about his nose.  No one is perfect.

Of course, no one is.

Whoa....Going back a page or two I see that I have made a terrible choice of words or that I did not explain that the word was to be taken as if  spoken by people who did not like Obama.   "Tainted" was a bad word. I apologize if that has been interpreted as a slight. That was definitely not the intent. 

I could have explained that there was, for 8 years, a great deal of criticism of the then president that was based on bullshit claims by lying bastards like Hannity or Limbaugh or crackpot conspiracy notions invented by tiny minds.  All that probably influenced the hillbilly state of mind but was not the biggest reason for the attitude of  Obama detractors..  The grim reality is that we live in a racist society, closeted racism of course, but a reality no matter how you slice it.. Much of that society could not quite get past the fact that the duly elected president has a  somewhat darker skin color.  That is a clumsy explanation of what I meant to convey by using the word;tainted.
