It’s not so strange. People come in here to defend Obama by, e.g., citing some allegation against his opponent. This thread is a good example of that. Some people challenge the allegation itself, and many have. Some challenge the alleged meaning and significance of the allegation, and many have.
But also, when one is trying to support Obama by asserting some moral fault against his opponent, one has to take the support in context. When one asserts moral turpitude against Obama’s opponent, one has to take it in context even if one believes it.
Since Obama’s promotion of abortion is such a huge moral issue, it isn’t odd at all that people would compare assertions of moral fault made against Romney to those which may be legitimately made against Obama, because, after all, as Catholics we are obliged to consider the morality or immorality of the plans and actions of those who intend to lead us.
When assertions are made against Obama’s opponents, the intent is to favorably compare Obama to the opponent. It should surprise no one when people reject that.
