I have no problem with people trying to make the point that Obama favors redistribution of wealth, but this video does it dishonestly.
As to whether Obama really does favor redistribution of wealth, I say of course he does. They all do - Romney sure as **** does. If I could tolerate reading Ron Paul's materials, I bet I would find that he does as well. It is unavoidable.

The thing I see differently between this and the "stench" is that this is a viewpoint of the politician himself- not a derogatory name or label. I see little difference in bumper stickers saying "stench/ryan" and calling BHO a hateful term. Do you think "stench" is a hateful/derogatory term? Do you think hateful/derogatory terms should be used?

I don't see the video and the stench thing as similar at all. The video attempts to criticize a policy position allegedly held by Obama. The stench thing as used on the bumper sticker is much more personal. Even though I am the one who suggested the bumper sticker, I would not want to see them is actual use, although I do think it is funny.
