Never met Bush. Never Met Any One Who Has Met Bush.

When I hear GOP talking heads come out and say shrub is hated, my response is simple. I never met shrub. I never met any one who has met shrub. I do not know your president. It is impossible to hate a person I never met. So please stop projecting your hate toward me.

This not personal. My opposition to shrub's administration comes from my rejecting the lies and failure of his administration. Regardless, GOP are not the victims!


Am I the only one who has noticed when ever GOP talking points come out it is always that the GOP types are the victims and liberals, progressives and the Democratic Party hates Bush?

1. Projection it is...

When Ann Coulter came to the college where I was teaching a couple years ago a (Republican) student urging everyone to come see her wrote that liberals should come, if not to be persuaded (hah!), then to become more grounded in their own beliefs. The implication was that hatred of a common enemy is the root of any political movement. It was as if he couldn't imagine that anything but visceral hatred of "the other side" could be the source of political identity.

It is remarkable how much right-wing propaganda is couched in the language of victimization - that they in turn decry as a linguistic crutch for liberals.

Most important, every time they convince someone resistance to Bush is based on personal hatred they prevent that person from serious consideration of the basis of that resistance.

3. I'm with you. I actually feel sorry for the President...

This poor, twisted, maniacal man was bread this way. He has no other view points. He doesn't understand what it is like to be human like us. He was born into that 1% of society that is completely disenfranchised with the rest of the world. The emperor truly has no clothes on. Yes, I mad at where his incompetence has lead us, but I'm not mad at him. He is doing what he is bread to do. Really, I feel sorry for him... and I think that is worst. To hold shame for someone who is too blind to see the truth is far more humiliating of a mark to leave on the history books.

Our protest signs need to say I am shamed for Bush. Not I hate Bush.

4. I kinda agree

He is just one man. A sheltered, manipulated, disinterested man. BUT, he is the President now. He needs to learn and stop taking orders from Cheney. Hell he should tell Cheney and Rumsfeld et al to head for K Street.
What I've always felt is, yeah we may hate a DOZEN or so members of the ADMINISTRATION, but the rabid Reich Wingers hate MILLIONS of US. For just having different ideas. THAT is unAmerican. I still hate what has become of this country under Bush's watch and my hatred is directed at the cabal that controls this one poor "Christian" man. He needs to wake up. I do hate his ignorance and cowardice. He does have some say as to what goes on.
