It occurred to me the other day that our Commander in Chief seems to inspire an unusual number of ad hominem attacks.
At one level, this seems fundementally right and proper, to me. But on another... I have to wonder why this is the case. I mean, it certainly isn't that people attack him because they have any problem with attacking his opinions, his actions, his policies...
But somehow, it seems to be night unto irresistable not to stop there, and to go on and attack him in ways both above and below the belt. What is it about him?
