Er... I have personally had some pointed conversations with specific people over their use of invalid attacks. More than a few times.
The problem is, I don't consider all of those worthless. Others you seem incapable or willing to understand the point of the comment.
For example: The claim Obama is unpatriotic does have some evidence. He refused to say the pledge of allegence to our flag. He refused to wear a flag pin, and made it an issue. He went to a church for 20 years that openly hated America. Now how are we supposed to respond? Do we have to wait until he starts chanting "death to america" and burning flags on the white house lawn?

So I think that's a legitimate issue that is worth discussing.
Another example is "obama is hitler". No one said Obama is hitler. Obama can't speak two languages like Hilter could, and Obama is not overtly against the Jews the same way hitler was.
What was said, is that in nearly every evil dictator of our history, the way in which a dictator rises to power in a largely democratic country, is through manipulation of the ignorant public by empty vague speeches that say very little about what the person actually believes.
This is a speech Hitler gave in Munich MAY 1, 1923. Notice the how he doesn't say what he really wants to do... just some ambiguous phrases.
Now... that to me sounds very much like Obama. Very nebulas, very void. Yes we can... Hope... Change... Believe. He doesn't say how he would do this, or what policies he thinks will accomplish these things. Nor does he state what his ultimate goals are other than to expand Germany.
If Bush was saying a speech similar to this, would not the similarities be an alarm to you? Yes it would. So why when we see these similarities, it's a worthless argument?
