Anyone remember hearing about how much liberals hated Bush?
Is it just me or was that meme pushed in the media pretty regularly?

Has anyone heard anything in the media bout how hatred of Obama and liberals is literally driving some people completely around the bend, even to the point that they're killing other people?


Even back then it was such a joke... the left-wing's "hate" for Bush. The left's hate pales in comparison to the venom spewed by Coulter, Savage and their ilk.

Funny how the 'liberal' media never bothers to mention it.

1. Well the media is owned by big corps and the big corps usually
backed the Rethugs. Soo...of course we don't hear this.

2. Rick Sanchez smacked down Faux News for disseminating false gun ban info.
That was encouraging.

4. And so important.
That's one of the lies that seems most effective at getting people so insane with rage.

5. They should be prosecuted for inciting violence.
They are force-feeding crazy to people already on the edge of sanity.

6. Well, of course, they HAD to report on it. After all, there were all those
churches blown up by liberal terrorists, and the rage shootings at NASCAR events across the country. You wouldn't want the press to just ignore all that, would you?

9. Yes
and they were vilified by the right wing for being traitorous and unpatriotic while the MSM, rather than doing their jobs as journalists, pretty much helped maintain and publicize those whacko accusations. Today I don't hear anything about people determined to undermine and sabotage this administration as being un-American or unpatriotic, or even just completely stupid and unreasonable. I believe the press, in general, has become just as corrupted and cowardly as most of the politicians. That was more than evident in Bush's first term. In fact it was surreal.

And as far as the left's hate paling in comparison to the right's, there are, of course, crazies on both sides, but I've always felt it's the one's on the right that are more insane and truly dangerous. Far, far more so than the ones on the extreme left.

14. Not only far more so, but far more numerous.
For any one radical leftist stockpiling weapons for the revolution there are a hundred radical righties stockpiling weapons for the coming race war/commie takeover/apocalypse.

10. What? Liberals froth at the mouth hated Bush.
Just look back on older DU threads.

Our hate doesn't pale in comparison, we hated more! And dammit, I'm proud of that!

11. Which liberal shot up a bunch of police because they were
rabid with rage at Bush's policies?

Even make believe ones, like the PA shooter's pet issue was.

15. The big difference is, it was just us and other "nobodies"
hollering about Bush. No one in the media was doing it. No network anchor or media personality was saying hateful things about Bush. It was just the "people".

In Obama's case, it's media anchors and media personalities doing it. A huge difference.

They make me sick with their crap.

21. I can't stand to watch anymore.
I'm so sad that BBC World News was cancelled... it was the only teevee news I really liked, and I listened/watched every morning. *sigh*

19. Hatred for Bush was warranted.....he was a war president....hurt America BADLY
Edited on Thu Apr-09-09 03:32 PM by opihimoimoi
Bush was engineered into this mess by Rove, his architect of elections and directions.....and they along w Cheney did enormous harm to the Nation....

They deserve scorn.

President Obama is a true Leader and them Pubs cannot cope with him being victorious....they wish to destroy him in any fashion.

But theirs is a tough sell...the GOP has destroyed their own Creds to the point hardly any outside of the Pub Base believes them anymore....

They have become MOOT
