Even the lefty nutbars did not organize anti-Bush rallies or called him Hitler or threatened to kill him or beat up Republican leaders in Congress... until <i>after</i> he lied about weapons of mass destruction and Iraq's connection to 9/11 and started his illegal war in Iraq. The lefty's gave Bush a pretty clear free pass until mid-2003.<br /><br />But I wouldn't expect a wingnut to feel any need to stick to truth.

I could point out that trying to introduce legislation to provide healthcare for Americans is not in anyway comparable to a Bush regime that routinely breached the Constitution, eavesdropped on American citizens, promoted and used and even advocated for torture, illegally jails American citizens and immigrants for indefinite periods of time without ever bringing formal charges or permitting them access to a lawyer, sends American soldiers off to die in an illegal war, illegally outs covert CIA operators for political gain, outright lie about weapons of mass destruction to promote war, etc.<br /><br />or<br /><br />2. I could agree with your first part - which I actually do - that there were lots of leftwingers who went totally bonkers and were destructive (though not dangerous like these right-wing nutbars carrying automatic weapons to rallies). I truly believe Cindy Sheehan was a nutbar and did damage both to her own cause and to America. So a <i>sane person</i> would conclude that we need to stop the insanity and hatred, but your hatred for those leftwing nutbars equally damages your own cause and damages America. Your scorched earth approach - if they are going to harm American then I will too - is moronic and childless and brainless.<br /><br />or <br /><br />3. I could paraphrase Barney Frank in this instance and ask you "what planet are you from"?<br /><br />Which approach to a response to your comment would you prefer?Ted Bettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223729391428982448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723558126615262653.post-79882561855520974702009-08-19T11:14:14.119-04:002009-08-19T11:14:14.119-04:00They're no more despicable than all those left...They're no more despicable than all those left-wingers spewing their hatred of Bush, calling for him to be killed, comparing him to Hitler & pushing all sorts of despicable comments about 9/11, Iraq, Katrina, the oil industry, Israel & so on.<br /><br />You & your crowd don't like it?? Too bad. We on the right had to put up w/ this shit for 8 years, you're goona have to do the same now.McGuirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771682181997456163noreply@blogger.com
