The ultra-right's perceptions of Obama as an evil and ugly socialist/Nazi/America-hating monster does not appear to be widely shared with the American people. And for Republican pols.... it's a pickle.

On private call, Republicans say attacking Obama personally is too dangerous: Yahoo News exclusive

Republicans on a private Republican National Committee conference call with allies warned Tuesday that party surrogates should refrain from personal attacks against President Barack Obama, because such a strategy is too hazardous for the GOP.

"We're hesitant to jump on board with heavy attacks" personally against President Obama, Nicholas Thompson, the vice president of polling firm the Tarrance Group, said on the call. "There's a lot of people who feel sorry for him."

Recent polling data indicates that while the president suffers from significantly low job approval ratings, voters still give "high approval" to Obama personally, Thompson said.

Voters "don't think he's an evil man who's out to change the United States" for the worse--even though many of the same survey respondents agree that his policies have harmed the country, Thompson said. The upshot, Thompson stressed, is that Republicans should "exercise some caution" when talking about the president personally.

Good advice, but these are Republicans. They see the man and just can't help themselves.

To attack his policies is politics. To attack him personaly is foolish.

What do you think that meant. The liberal goons here know they can't defend Obama's record so calling anyone and everyone who questions him a racist is their only real defense at this point.

It meant what i said. You guys hate Obama and can't help but to attack him personally.

I didn't say anything about being a racist. I've long ago accused you of being one so there's no need. I mean, there's no need to mention it because it goes without saying.

But like i always say, i don't care one way or the other. So long as you keep it to yourself and mind your own business, it really doesn't matter.

There is no need to attack him personally. There is a multitude of things on which he can be attacked, namely his positions, actions (or inactions), and his miserable failing record.
