"only a sith deals in absolutes"- Obi wan Kenobi

I actually don't mind this line. Makes sense that in someone's anger they might only see black and white. Of course, it would have gone better in a different context.

But it's sort of a joke.  "ONLY a Sith deals in ABSOLUTES"  Is Obi-Wan a Sith then?  (We're discussing this in the Politics thread right now!)

Let me break it down for you: If he said, "Usually, or at an overwhelming percentage, a one dealing in absolutes is a Sith, but occaisonally he is a Jedi instead." Then the line would be fine.  But since he uses the absolutist language of "Only a Sith..." he was, himself, dealing in absolutes.
