The calls for his assassination and impeachment and the constant hate and insults everywhere? If you still want to continue to lie that there were no "harsh words" against Bush, I suggest you start with the many anti-Bush bestsellers on the NYT lists during his Presidency, and then also check out a major network anchor (Dan Rather) fabricating the Bush AWOL story from whole cloth, to those on the Left who questioned whether or not Bush won in 2000 (the left-wing version of the "birthers")<br /><br />"the bailout of Wall Street and corporate America while Americans faced evictions."<br /><br />Not the best one for you to mention. While most Republicans opposed this, both Bush AND Obama pushed for and passed this. And after he was elected, Obama still pushed for and passed more bailouts.<br /><br />"You seem to be a part of the status quo that excuses the “good ol’ boys will be boys” mantra while condemning legitimate victims of basic human rights violations."<br /><br />Seem? Where is your evidence? You have none. <br /><br />"Obama faces more threats and condemnation than the combined 40 years of the last Presidency’s "<br /><br />Care to quantify this? I bet you can't. If you check real facts (like web references to Obama or Bush being called "arrogant"), you will find things much the same.<br /><br />"You remind me of his claim that the reason 911 happened..."<br /><br />How? I've made no such claim. You are now merely making things up. It's rather off-topic, and I think you are starting to get confused.<br /><br />"You think there is a difference between Christian and Islam extremist while the dead see them as the same."<br /><br />Now it is quite clear that you are responding to someone else, and not anything I said. You chiefly have no idea what you are talking about on any of your points. You type first and think later (or never). I am on record here as condemning the Christian element in the Serbian holocausts of the 1990s. And that is just one example.<br /><br />----------------<br /><br />Rob said: "McCrystal already has subjected the first black president to criticism..."<br /><br />But is there any evidence that this criticism was in any way race-based? Any? By the way I supported McChrstal being sacked.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-72826032588126298832010-06-29T13:23:11.521-07:002010-06-29T13:23:11.521-07:00I crossed the word "black" out, so it...I crossed the word "black" out, so it's not officially part of this posting. I don't need to defend anything except the final version. ;-)<br /><br />McCrystal already has subjected the first black president to criticism and dissent that no white president ever received. In case you haven't heard, the military prohibits soldiers from criticizing their commander-in-chief.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-65971271153789629152010-06-29T13:14:24.052-07:002010-06-29T13:14:24.052-07:00What planet are you living on Dmarks?
What harsh w...What planet are you living on Dmarks?<br />What harsh words were ever used against Bush during Katrina; the liberty of Bin Laden; the bailout of Wall Street and corporate America while Americans faced evictions.<br />Obama faces more threats and condemnation than the combined 40 years of the last Presidency’s with everything from racial hatred to even the legitimacy of his birthright.<br />You seem to be a part of the status quo that excuses the “good ol’ boys will be boys” mantra while condemning legitimate victims of basic human rights violations.<br />There is a book called “The Enemy At Home” by Dinesh D’Souza. You remind me of his claim that the reason 911 happened was because liberals fueled the hatred of Islam against America when in fact, the Muslims simply got tired of Americans kicking in their doors and forcing democracy down their throats with weapons of mass destruction. Sound familiar?<br />You think there is a difference between Christian and Islam extremist while the dead see them as the same.Chiefly speakingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-51053173144212371442010-06-29T09:58:44.055-07:002010-06-29T09:58:44.055-07:00"...From General McChrystal's disparaging..."...From General McChrystal's disparaging of black civilian control..."<br /><br />Do you have any evidence of racial decision making by the former General? If so, please present it. If not, you are making something up, and perhaps being racist here by wanting a Black president to be treated differently from a White one, and not be subject to criticism and dissent as a White president is.<br /><br />Waiting for the evidence....<br /><br />If the crossing out of black and replacing it with civilian is in fact the correction of a big goof, then the subject is closed.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
