Have you ever been called "soft" on Bush?
On this board, that's analogous to being called a Communist in 1952.

2. When I've criticized "Capitol Hill Blue" stories about Bush,
...I've been knocked at DU as pro-Bush.

(Capitol Hill Blue has too-good-to-be-true Bush quotes passed on by anonymous sources, like Bush saying the Constitution is just a piece of paper.)

11. Well, you just want the sources verified, put up or whatever
it takes to confirm the story. I can't fault you for that. However, I believe Bush did say something to the effect that old laws may not be up to date enough to deal with our present war on terror so therefore we shouldn't criticize him for ignoring those laws. I am paraphrasing generously I know, but he did say something to that effect. I don't remember the exact quote.

13. Bush really did justify ignoring FISA...
Edited on Mon Aug-28-06 08:34 PM by Eric J in MN
...saying it's from 1978 and September 11, 2001 changed everything.

But Capitol Hill Blue had Bush saying the Constitution is "Just a goddamned piece of paper"

14. Thanks for nudging my memory. That's what I was
thinking of. I think Capitol Hills Blues has been discredited here at DU including if I remember correctly by one Will Pitt.

Not sure what the point of the question is or the context for asking it.

6. Some members of this board have been known to go apeshit...
...when you don't toe their extreme leftwing line. Just like the righties have wingnuts, we've got them too.

"Umm dude, it's illegal to threaten the president's life, you better hope they aren't listening." was something a friend said recently. :D

16. Yes, the exact words were "have you gone soft on Bush?"
Edited on Mon Aug-28-06 09:04 PM by Mabus
but she was mistaken.

I had a fresh batch of Bush poop flags (see http://www.freewilliamsburg.com/archives/2005/08/bush_poop.html) on a table in the living room when one of my neighbors dropped by. We were chatting away when she spotted the flags. She gave me a quizzical look and asked me if I had gone soft on Bush. I told her no and explained I put the flags in piles of dog shit I found around the neighborhood because I still thought Bush was the biggest king of shit this world has ever seen. She ended up taking a few of the flags home with her.
