I just see how Bush is being attacked, and I think liberals in government and the media paint a tremendously distorted picture.
There is no balance to the reporting, or the rhetoric of Democrat leaders.

And as I've ALSO said across several topics, how can conservative views be fairly weighed, if they're dismissively ignored?
Look at the protest signs in Whomod's posts.
Look at the "representative" slogans of liberal/Democrat posters that Matter Eater Man posted.

You are a reasonable liberal, Chant. Do you truly have no problem with that kind of liberal rhetoric? It is pure slander. pure acid. There is no discussion of the issues by liberals.
They assume that Bush, Cheney, etc., are evil, greedy, getting kickbacks, lining their pockets, wanting to use nukes on people, goose-stepping Nazis, on and on.

Is that fair?
Is that logical?
Is it appealing to reason, and encouraging a civil and democratic debate for the best solution?



Nope, I totally agree with you here, I do, however, wish to drive home the arguement that such slander can be found on both sides! And for the record, calling Bush and his compatriots for Nazis ain't right!

Did you hear what Matter Eater Man was just saying about those who served in our National Guard, and how he equates serving in the National Guard as no better than draft evasion ?
Do you, as a liberal, have a problem with that? I sure as hell do.




Well, we have something similiar to your national guard in Denmark, but here it isn't military service

And I wonder how you, Chant, as a reasonable liberal, can be okay with the bitter tactics and bitter unfounded allegations, and utter lack of civility, of your brother liberals.




I don't recall saying that I was okay with it, I might have said that I expected it, but never have I (intentionally) said that I was okay with it. I certainly AM NOT!

Never once in the three years of relentless allegations and conspiracy theories against Bush have I ever heard a liberal say: well geez, you know, that's pretty unfair to Bush...



I'm just glad that we don't see this kind of slander and rhetoric in Denmark, if you ever want to get away from it Dave, I courtly invite you visit my homeland
