A lot of people look at his words through their whatever-colored glasses and don't actually weigh what he says. I don't always agree with what he says, either. But it's amazing how many people will squirrel him down their particular political hate-hole of choice, and vilify him for their interpretation of what he says.
I said this because his posts routinely hammer a single idea or concept and he rarely actually engages with anyone on the basis of fact. I have made numerous points and asked numerous specific questions. He just ignores them and blasts out another round of insults and provocative statements, usually with no basis in fact. That could easily be a bot or a troll. Neither is of any value.
It's not a question of interpretation of what he says. What he says is usually either dead wrong or just a baseless criticism or insult. Neither are worthwhile. He reminds me of Mr. Barnard from Monty Python's argument sketch. Look, I give credit where it's due and I'll acknowledge even a weak argument for what value it holds. I can tell the difference between a well constructed position and a hollow opinion, thanks very much.

I believe we've arrived at the point where it is all out war between the two parties. This looks like civil war without bullets and bodies, it's just 100% lies and corruption now. If the Retardicans believe the Dems will submit without playing the same games, they are more stupid than they look. I submit that our republic is now dead. When's the next bus to Canada?Truth

No Sponge you are just an evil hater for criticizing the things OLB says and positions he takes along with myself and Deesse23, Rye Rye, Nomad, Bucky Ball, The Grand Nudger, Yup just evil haters the lot of us. The problem clearly isn't his bullshit positions it's us.
The sad thing is that when someone decides to be like that on a forum, it stifles any real conversation or debate. I've seen it many times and it never results in anything remotely worthwhile. I can only conclude that some people are just filled with hate and rage and have to lash out and it's convenient to lash out at people on a forum because you don't have to treat them like real people. My general conclusion is just to ignore them most of the time. I can at least rest assured that whatever OLB's life is like, it's apparently way worse than mine.
