I do agree that hating Bush was pretty much a bi partisan attitude.
Oh the poor right wingers. Read this thread and you can see first hand the problem with your outdated little party. One guy wants to adjust minimum wage with CPI and the other is touting Jeb Bush as your 2012 Presidential candidate.

Keep it up boys.

There's a difference between hating what Bush did (or what Carter did, or what Regan did, or what Clinton did), and hating Obama. The hate directed against the President personally is disturbing and scary.

Yeah, Bush was repeatedly poked at for being dumb. Where were the daily cries in the media - on the major cable channels - that he was ruining the country, he was Hitler, a communist, a socialist, not an American citizen, etc?

The truely crazy talk was only from the far, far left extremist groups.

I've never seen such overt hate like what is directed towards Obama - not toward the policies, the man - inserted directly into mainstream America, and some people thinking it's acceptable.

That stuff like the utterly ridiculous "Obama isn't a citizen" nonsense even still gets airtime in the mainstream media two years later - unbelievable. Are we really that stupid in this country? Or has our gluttony for all things "reality" desensitized us to crazy and dangerous?

WHAT THE F.UCK?

People were pretty mean to Bush. It got to the point where I felt kind of sorry for the guy.

Me, too, at the end. But I didn't see major "news" stations joining in the fray, and giving daily voice to the left-wing extremist whackos.

Name another "news" station outside of the obvious one. If not, edit your post and cut back on the dramatics. This place may seem like an off-Broadway production at times but it clearly isn't.

I wish William F. Buckley was still alive.

Looks like I'm not the only one that thinks this way.

" It’s a sign that Republican centrists are operating at a disadvantage against the party’s wingnut fringe. There is a reluctance to take on the extreme in a full-fledged confrontation, a fight for the future direction of the Republican Party, for fear of provoking grassroots retaliation in a GOP primary. And in this there a tacit admission that the fringe is starting to overlap with the party’s base, pumped up by talk radio and the Internet, bleeding over into cable news and now town halls."

It would appear to me that there are just as many " XXXXX-wing extremist whackos" in both parties.

The only difference is that if you are a DEM



















he is at the top

What world do you live in? Obama has suffered more personal attacks than Bush? Are you kidding? Far, far left groups like CNN or MSNBC or the NY Times?

Give some examples of overt hate toward Obama. Please enlighten us.

Riot had to be posting drunk last night.. she was even more off base then usual.

Its hilarious to hear that Obama is more attacked then Bush... Here's the second for me today on a Riot post!

Bush should be in an orange jumpsuit scrubbing urinals with Madoff right now because of what happened to this economy on his watch, in my estimation.



Cheney, Cox, and Paulson too...

Amazing. You supposedly are making these huge sums of money in the market yet you want to lash out at those who you claim made it possible? Orangejump suits were made for former USC football players.

It is puzzling because people don't lie on the internet.

You're confused, Cannon.

My stock portfolio tanked like pretty much everyone else's during the Great Bush-Cheney-Cox-Paulson-GOP-Incompetence-Wall-Street-Gone-Wild-WOO-HOO Depression of 2008.

In fact, this is where much of my anger with the incompetent Bush-Cheney-Cox-Paulson stems from.

What I've been bragging about, though, are all the shares of the Vangaurd S&P 500 index fund that I was able to purchase at a fire sale price back in early March when people like High-pitch Hannity were squealing like little girls and bailing on the market ... thus foolishly locking in their losses from the Great Bush-Cheney-Cox-Paulson-GOP-Incompetence-Wall-Street-Gone-Wild-WOO-HOO Depression of 2008.

These shares have done pretty well so far this year ... and I believe the market will yield above average returns over (at least) the next 5-6 years.

Like I said before, this fire sale of stock in the first quarter this year may've been the only good thing to come out of the Great Bush-Cheney-Cox-Paulson-GOP-Incompetence-Wall-Street-Gone-Wild-WOO-HOO Depression of 2008.




Now let me run this by ya ... since it's a stone-cold mortal lock that the Trojans will run the table this season ... and given the fact that the national championship game will be contested in Pasadena ... I'm thinking about calling the NCAA and asking them to cancel the entire college football season and just give that championship trophy to Pete.

Of course you are forgetting that all those that lost money had made it in the first place on the backs of those guys you want to put in prison. I dont believe either side but it is hard for me to imagine a spectacular investor such as yourself was sitting on the sidelines through that period of tremendous growth. Naturally you would have pulled out of the market at its peak a fe years back because you knew the Bush and co. policies were going to cause a global collaspe?

When U of A beats USC on Dec 5th will you please sell all your investments and jump off the top row of the Coliseum ?

Or at the very least let Satans Twin punch you in the face after OSU knocks the condoms off in Columbus?

A two loss USC looking strong for a Holiday Bowl bid!

Your finest work ever .

Lord....He is Hitler? Never heard that show. The socialist argument I understand and in some ways agree with and although I believe he is a citizen just show the original birth certificate if nothing else to save money on the pending lawsuits. So what if he's a year older he's not pitching in the Little League World Series or anything serious. Think you're getting hate confused with disapprove.

And did you forget about the lefties including a former Dem congresswomen that thought 9-11 was orchestrated by the Bush Admin? Starting a war and killing American soldiers just for personal financial interests or some family vendetta? And Grandpa Bush supporting the Nazi's by supplying them oil in WWII?

The one thing I cant stand is this freaking stupid birth certificate stuff. It makes people sound plain dumb and makes you not want to listen to anything else they have to say. You really think that a man.. any man or woman.. could become the president of the USA without having a birth certificate that proves he was born here?

Honestly its as dumb and annoying as Bush created 9-11 so he could finish his fathers war. If I never heard mention of Obama's birth Cert ever again I would have a better life.

"Just last month, the Hawaii Department of Health confirmed to the Honolulu Star-Bulletin that the document is the only official record of the president's birth and proves he was born in that state.

But conspiracy theorists argue that the lack of an underlying paper document (the so-called long-form birth certificate) proves a cover-up.

That ignores multiple truths including this one: Hawaii's records, like those in many states, have gone electronic, and the certification document is accepted by both the state and national government as full proof of citizenship. To insist otherwise is to embrace the notion that thousands upon thousands of Hawaiians have obtained their U.S. passports, using similar documents, fraudulently."

To believe the wild theories, one must also accept that Obama's mother -- rather than apply for citizenship for her son as one would expect if he had been born overseas -- launched an elaborate hoax. It would have begun in 1961 with her placing false birth notices in Honolulu's two daily newspapers. Diabolical.
