Not to mention the fact I said this argument could apply to both (Republican) Bush and )Democrat) Clinton. But that it should apply to neither, that BOTH were capable of being President without military service.
But, according to certain posters, the Republicans are the ones "bashing".

I should remind everyone that G-man started this thread with an editorial that refers not to some of the left or even most of the left but to the left as if we're all one uni-mind.
Use of "Liberals say" or "Conservatives say" is typical shorthand, found it editorials from both sides, for "Some/many liberals say" or "Some/many conservatives say". Sorry I didn't bother to extensively edit the article to avoid offending you over a minor point to what I was starting the thread about.

...we move into Liberals mysteriously making rules about only Republicans can be Chickenhawks without any Liberal actually saying such a silly thing.
"Liberal" flag then brought up Clinton. "Liberal" Ray then tried to differentiate Clinton from Republicans and explain why Clinton couldn't be a chickenhawk.
In addition, as soon as I pointed out that you could tar Clinton with the same brush, simply in order to dispute Flagg's point, "Liberal but pretends to be moderate" Theory9 immediately started trying to steer the thread back to a Bush attack.

Can we maybe rise above some of this?
As noted above, I said this argument could apply to both (Republican) Bush and )Democrat) Clinton. But that it should apply to neither, that BOTH were capable of being President without military service.
So which side is failing to "rise above" anything here?
