Anyone else kinda sick of being right about everything regarding BushCo?

[Atman]

Every time a new story breaks about BushCo I realize that I, or one of my fellow DUers, have already screamed it a thousand times -- two, three, five, seven, eight fucking years ago. As long as DU has been around. Over and over again, the stuff the so-called media called us kooks for had turned out to be true.

Now Tom Ridge is gulping for air like a trout flopping on the dock, begging for catch-and-release humanitarianism. Because he dared admit what we all "joked" about all those years ago; that the color code system was a fucking farce, a political tool.

I was going to include a list of the "See, I toldya so!" events of the Bush era, but I realized these fucks aren't worth the effort. Intelligent people already realize what happened to America under the Bush Family regime.

1. I am recommending that this go to the Greatest page.

[BeHereNow]

2. AMEN!!!!

Yeah, we were the "CT" people, as I recall.
That's why I rarely visit DU anymore.
We were right, they were wrong, and the flood
water keeps rising, while the lemmings continue to jump.
Fek'em , says I.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

6. I don't understand -

we were right.

So why do you "rarely visit DU anymore"?

I don't get it?

[BeHereNow]

10. Sorry, what don't you understand?

That many of the BEST DUers were run off the board for being RIGHT?
I'm a relic, for sure, and I've grown tired of discussions with people here
who have NO knowledge, nor wish to educate themselves about the topics
many of us have discussed for YEARS.

As are many of the other posters on this thread, of that I am certain.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. Wait -

people were run off DU for knowing that Fuckface and his thugs were liars?

Really?

Before my time, indeed.

Why? People at DU were DEFENDING Fuckface?

15. Omission of truth is the greatest lie of all.

That is all I have to say about the matter.

maybe you should have stayed away longer.

So sorry to have offended your tender sensibilities, poor honey.......................

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. I'm still around, and hi by the way

long time not seen you... and considered that path myself several times

But hey, I like to do this

:banghead: over and over again...

Convinced that people do not want to admit that yes horrible things happened and that we WERE FUCKING RIGHT all along.

24. Hopefully

your comment meets TLB's aggressive/aggressive standards. :evilfrown:

Well, it looks like I accidentally stumbled into a couple of passive-aggressives with secrecy issues.

At this point, I no longer give a fuck. Be obtuse, be happy...................

23. Why

the fuck are you attacking me? :wtf: I spared you the cliche. "is not just a river in Egypt." You can connect the dots, TLB.

You could poke your eye out with your sharp elbows. :thumbsdown:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

26. No, I see no dots,

and I'm connecting anything.

I have no idea what "Denial" means in your post, and that's why the fuck I posted as I did - an opinion. You see it as an attack, fine. Take that rap.

Denial. Yeah, there's a huge amount of information there.

61. Exactly!

All of us that understand how Humpty Dumpty was pushed have been walking on eggshells around here.

Now that everybody is finally waking up, they wonder wtf we're so irritated about.

[BeHereNow]

64. And so many of the trolls are nowhere to be seen now...

Many of the best DUers were kicked off the board
by baiting trolls- I remember a flood of PMs between
REAL DUers, warning each other not to take the bait,
to cool off and at one time, someone even came up with a
list of the top offenders, warning other DUers not to engage
with certain posters.

How dare you bring that up!
:sarcasm:
BHN

[G_j]

38. that in itself, would be the worst crime imaginable

but even with all those questions aside, the Bush admin still topped all in criminality.
as you know, most of the top ppl should be in prison. I hope we will someday see some top officials held accountable.
Things aren't exactly moving speedily in that direction, but we won't give up.


:hi:

[tavalon]

45. You know we still talk about it, just very curcumspectly

And besides, I don't think we'll ever actually get that one off the conspiracy books anymore than JFK.

[bluestateguy]

7. I spend less and less time thinking about that crowd every day

It seems like a long time ago now. Yet it wasn't.

[texastoast]

8. I'm sick of the people who supported him and who think torture is okay

I work with those kind of people. That we as a nation of people let this happen is such a tragedy for us all.

[nevergiveup]

9. I keep trying to find something I was wrong on

so I won't feel so damn cocky. So far, zippo.

[tridim]

55. I was only wrong when I was warning people about BushCo in 1999.

I told everyone his admin would be a nightmare, but at the time I didn't think it would be anywhere near as bad as it turned out to be. My warnings were not nearly strong enough.

[The Hope Mobile]

60. Yup, exactly!! nt

[travelingtypist]

11. Wish we had a Paul Thompson to chronicle that list.

"See, we told you so" with MSM articles and the rest.

Still behind the looking glass.

22. Joseph Wilson's just written a book on a large portion of it.

[travelingtypist]

32. Do you mean husband of Valerie or another Joe Wilson?

Is the book out yet? I'd love to have a look.

[omega minimo]

42. Not sure when this came out

[travelingtypist]

47. Oh, yeah, I've got that one.

I've got Fair Game, too.

I was thinking more along the lines of --

1. Event
2. Bush/Cheney lie
3. What the RW Hate talkers said
4. What the MSM parroted
5. What DUers were screaming
6. Who was right

Sort of a compilation and scorecard, by the numbers, you know what I mean?

In the minute-by-minute utter nonsense of this year with the teabaggers and the birthers and now the healthcare reform screamers, this whack jobs get wall-to-wall coverage when we were virtually shut out. All of our work to elect Obama will be for nothing if we can't crack this nut. It's madness.

And for all my friends with those hard-to-reach areas between the ears:

A Short History of Conspiracy Theory


Note 1: The subject is a work in progress. The entries are not perfect, nor are they complete. They do provide a framework for a who's-who and what's-what and how we got here. Started for educational and historical purposes, these threads are meant to serve the public interest. What gives them a special quality are the contributions of DUers. May they also serve some prosecutor in the future.

Note 2: As no individual is totally evil or totally good, not all Bushes are evil or beholden to the BFEE. Nor are all those who gain by its existence members of the immediate or extended Bush family. Nor are the Bushes at the pinnacle of global power -- it is quite likely they serve an even wealthier class. What they all have in common is the use of the powers of the government of the United States for accumulating wealth and power for themselves, their associates and the other affiliated beneficiaries among the world's financial elite and authoritarian regimes. Always, they gain at the expense of the people and nations of the world, including the citizens of the United States and its Constitution.

[mopinko]

13. i get more and more cynical the older i get, but it is never

enough to keep up. yes, i am weary of being right about the depth of the swamp that these things crawled from. christian warriors my shiny metal ass.

[unpossibles]

14. Yes. And something which I have noticed is common among Bush supporters

is that they seldom can admit error. Look at how they are complaining about Obama's "apology tour" where he's doing this thing called diplomacy. They see admission of error as a weakness, therefore can never seem to admit they were wrong even when the evidence shows otherwise.

[deaniac21]

17. We gotta find an avenue beyond bush bashing. It's doesn't

have the same resonance as when the asshole was actually around.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. The avenue is a district court, for war crimes

or the war court, for war crimes.

[pnwmom]

33. That's why so many here have turned to Obama bashing.

If they're not bashing somebody, they're not happy.

[omega minimo]

35. and then there's the call for accountability for Bushco, through both administrations

[tavalon]

46. He made himself a target when he decided to protect the Bush admin

and appropriate a lot of their overreaching unitary executive crap,

[bvar22]

34. I'm also sick about being right about: :

NAFTA ( and ALL the "Free Trade" deals)

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (More Media Consolidation)

The 1999 Repeal of Glass Steagall

The War on Drugs

Privatization of Prisons & Military

Face it...The loony WooWoos on The Left have been RIGHT about every major policy decision in the last 40 years. (

[omega minimo]

37. Yup. And we're trying to warn against privatization of the public school system, now.

[lonestarnot]

36. I rather enjoyed watching him be the victim of his own torture policy.

We appear to be ruined. Second round of financial shock and awe on the way. :hi:

[stevedeshazer]

39. Hell yeah. I hate being right when it sucks. And all our DU friends made sure we were right.

This is the best place in the world.

Sometimes.

[troubledamerican]

40. Bushco's "abuses" were overblown. The system worked!

Yes indeedy.

Any day now, I expect the DLC DU contingent (the ones who defend Harry Reid -- just ask, if you want me to post links) to start the long process of REHABILITATING BUSH.

"Americans are taking a second look at the Bush Era -- uncertainty but safety, yapping critics on the Far Left but stability, blah blah blah"

It's coming. We know you're here.

[DCKit]

41. We have our legacy of truths, he has.... um...... WTF?

Unlike a puppy, you can't rub their faces in the truth and expect them to come around. They've already made up their minds - It's a done deal.

Torture - Good
Repeal of Constitutional and Civil Rights - Good
Fascism - Brilliant
Universal Healthcare - Satan Screwing My Kids

[havocmom]

43. Sadly, some of us have been right about everything from WAY before bush/cheney

They called us crazy re all the GOP shit since 1980. Oh, how I wish it had been that we were crazy. To be correct about so much horrible destruction of America is too much to bear.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

48. Reality

sucks sometimes. However, vision has its benefits and can help steer a good path.

[Joe the Liberal]

49. As far as politics in America goes.....

We (liberals/progressives) are ahead of the curve on most issues. We knew Bush and the repugs were going to destroy the country, they had already done substantial damage with previous repuke presidents as I'm sure we knew back then as well. We knew these things, and like you said we screamed it from the rooftops thousands of times before they would even happen.

The "I Told'ya so" list would be a very looooong one indeed. What I get out of this is that we are ahead of our time as far as politics in this country is concerned.

Of course, now that I really am crazy after watching my nation devolve into mindless evil, nobody thinks I'm crazy anymore.

52. You know, it's amazing how many people here on DU tried to shout us down as it happened

Where are all of these "Sensible People" now as the truth comes out and it's revealed that what we suspected was merely the tip of the iceberg?

[Kansas Wyatt]

53. I'm only surprised at...

Peoples reactions to what BushCo did, because they act like they had assumed it all along anyway. People know deep down that some very shady shit went down and BushCo was dirty, but they are horrified at how bad it really was.

When you watch the news, whoever is reporting it always has that look on their face like they have known it all along anyway, but now they can say it.

[earth mom]

54. At this point, I'm more sick that we have a new president who's not much different than *.

And that people around here EXCUSE & JUSTIFY that very fact.

[malaise]

58. Sorry Atman you need that list of

"See, I toldya so!" so that we can send it to all the hacks who said we were kooks.

Nice post!!

[babsbunny]

59. Why are the BushCo fans still listening to Rush, Glenn, Hannity, etc?

They don't know what we know. They haven't heard that everything we were saying ended up being true because they listen to Fox.

and we'll be bogged down for years. Who's crazy now motherfuckers????

63. Sicker About Being Right Regarding ObamaCoop

Is that coop or co-op?

Sadly, it's probably some of both -- not that that's relevant.
