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.




How do you know when either is using it as short hand? In these days where there are Rush Limbaughs & Anne Coulters who are actively promoting a negative connotation to anything Liberal it gets confusing for me. Wonder Boy doesn't seem to see it as short hand either considering his response.

...we move into Liberals mysteriously making rules about only Republicans can be Chickenhawks without any Liberal actually saying such a silly thing.

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?



I don't have an arguement about somebody not having military service & being President. I was pointing out you started the thread with a very partisan negative slant.

Fair play!
