In post #27 on this thread (i believe it was) Kluge makes an excellent point-

“(Typical political thread here - substantive comment which is (mildly) critical of GWB, a few comments on same, a couple of jokes, and then attacks on the motivations of anyone who questions the fearless leader. When lacking anything substantive to say, attack the messenger, the messenger’s fellow party-members, and anyone who might ever have had anything in common with the messenger.)”

I think this thread shows that progress and a few other steps included here-the failure to read the posts of others (and so you can create the apples and oranges confusion needed to defend the indefensible), then the subject gets trivialized, dismissed and ultimately the GWB detractor is demonized.

Of course there are also the posts that instruct you what to think and do and my personal favorites are the ones that tell you the thread is a non-issue yet they keep coming back time and time and time again to post.

Of course skirossignol has taken this to a level I’ve not seen on this board before but, I’m with you bud, I’m on board-
America -LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!
My country - right or wrong!!
“peace symbol” - footprint of the American chicken!

I even went back and saw some old newsreel. In addressing the nation regarding the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, President Johnson turns to Dean Rusk and says “Yo Dino, what up with this”?

What have I been thinking?

I’d also like to add that I have no hatred for George Bush. The man only has my sympathy. He is completely in over his head, is totally unqualified to be President of the United States, he is a former drug and alcohol abuser who failed in every venture he ever attempted and is in his present position only due to the genius of Karl “Dr. Frankenstein” Rove and the rest of daddy’s buddies. He is a straight man who doesn’t get the joke because he is the joke.
