I'll do it for you so you don't have to think anymore...
1.) Permitting the TORTURE of US detainees
2.) Wiretapping US citizens without a warrant
3.) Lying the country into a war of choice and conquest
4.) Using the US military for political purposes
5.) Allowing an entire US city to drown
6.) Allowing our financial markets to collapse endangering the welfare of the entire populace.
Should I go on?
There is a reason that Mr. McCain lost the last election. And it has EVERYTHING to do with his predecessor.
The grumblings of Frog Marching and Impeachment etc... came AFTER criminal activities by the Bush administration.
Why does is this so hard for you morons to get through your thick little skulls?
I have 0 sympathy for a man who killed thousands of American soldiers in an illegal war of choice, as well as countless Iraqi civilians.
Sorry - there is no comparison between Bush who had at least 2 years to F-Up before anybody started complaining and the WHINING going on over Obama returning things to the way they were before President Robber Barron And Vice President Wild Bill took over.
The guy has been in office for a couple of months - and you guys are already blowing your wad... What will you have ti whine about 3 years from now?
Nope....
No desire to curtail Right Wing Hate Speech here.
You guys can keep talking yourselves right down the toilet for all I care.
You can keep you Glenn Becks, and your Rush Limbaughs... Be my guest.
Keep watching as your party and it's influence circles the toilet bowl a few times... then disappears down the drain forever.
I am all for the continued unhinged, self-destruction of the looney fringe.
Dennis Miller? DENNIS MILLER????!!!!!
BWAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
You must be joking.
That is all.
Yes... I guess it is very entertaining to millions of Americans - in much the same way Rock of Love or American Idol is...
Entertaining to the lowest common denominator dimwit. And there are LOTS of them in this country.
A massive audience could just meant that people keep getting dumber every year.
Ooooohhhhh I feel so bad for Mr. Shrub...
We were so cruel.
Tell it to the thousands of American children with no daddy because he never came back from Bush's illegal war.
Or to the thousands of dead or displaced Iraqis.
Spare me, please... It is the right that has had a victim complex ever since Nixon.
You guys are the biggest whiners in political history.
This guy trying really hard to save his soul.
He is obviously very afraid of investigations into his conduct.
Hatred of Jews at the Weekly Standard a left winger does not make...
Sorry - but most of the hatred for Jews in this country comes from the far right. And most of the "Jews run the world" crap comes from the far right, the KKK, StromFront (not exactly bastions of left wing thought), Waco / Survivalist types, ant-taxers, and idiots like Pat Buchanan.
It is only in the land of foreign policy where there is generally any agreement between the Jewish community and the right wing in the US. And most of the American Jewish population voted for the left in the last election folks... come on Republicans... don't grasp at straws.
You own this guy. Face it. Deal with it.
... Is that it is the right wing that is constantly stoking fear or minorities, fear of the "gub'ment", fear of evil gun legislation, fear of taxes... day in and day out...
Now I won't argue that this guy is a mainstream republican or right winger - but lots of mainstream republicans and right-wingers are on TV everyday talking in code to guys just like this with no care for what the consequences might be.
That is how Rush Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and all the other republican idols "own" this jackass and the guy who murdered Dr. Tiller.
This stuff is not difficult to figure out folks.
Salon... Please proof-read your columns... "Pubic Controversy"?
Hahahahahahahahaha......
Good show Glenn.... I always liked Dan Froomkin and I'll be sad to see him go. Journalism is in a sad state at the moment - and this just makes it worse.
The Righties trot out the old Ted Kennedy cannard...
Someone in an earlier post mentioned that republicans think everybody is a baby boomer... Bingo!
The Right Wing is still fighting the culture war started in the 50's / 60's. They are still upset over Viet Nam, they are still upset over Nixon, they are still upset over women's lib etc...
WAKE UP MORONS - THE 60's ARE OVER! Join the present with the rest of us... stop fighting your imaginary war against progress.
... But I disagree with her judgment in this case. Anybody can pass any test if they study and prepare. This case never should have come to court in the first place.
...Democrats are their own worst enemy. I'm sure nothing meaningful to the majority of Americans will get through our obstructionist grandstanding friends in the senate.
There is NOTHING wrong with Obama's choice of jeans... There is something wrong with a culture that cares what kind of jeans the leader of the free world puts on for a day at the ballpark...
Those are def. 501's or similar and I have been wearing 501's pretty much forever...
The current crop of "low rise" or as I like to call them "low IQ" jeans are the real problem. I have no desire to see some dudes crack when he bends over... wear some real jeans like the prez dammit.
The easiest way to control costs is to eliminate profit from our "health care system" if you can call it that. People should not live or die based on some jackass executive's bonus...
Yes - some "rationing" will still have to happen - but it already does - and with far worse results.
