John Gibson’s New Book: The Media Brainwashed America into Hating George W. Bush
By: Blue Texan Tuesday December 8, 2009 10:30 am

Just in time for Christmas, the hilariously titledjohn_gibson130 new Bush legacy reclamation tome, How the Left Swiftboated America: The Liberal Media Conspiracy to Make You Think George W. Bush Was the Worst President in History.

From Hurricane Katrina up through the Obama inauguration, the most insidious of poison memes was promulgated through not just far-left media outlets, but also through purportedly mainstream purveyors of news.

<...>

Fox News commentator John Gibson, in his most recent book, ably dispels the fabrications and fallacies the left put forth to successfully torpedo the Bush legacy. He defines “swiftboating” as “undermining character and credibility, no matter whether the charges are accurate,” and accuses the left of trashing not only the president, but the Iraq war, the war on terror and conservatives at large.

1. But he was the worst president in history

:eyes:

[emulatorloo]

5. yeah, the 'liberal media' mostly worked hard to cover his ass. Reality overwhelmed them though.

[timeforpeace]

12. Reality is the media hated him. Our view is jaundiced. But the media certainly helped me come to

despise him. Never saw what is referred to around here as propping him up. Quite the contrary.

[RockaFowler]

15. The media loved him until Katrina

They covered up the wars. They covered up his lies. And they lied about the 2000 and 2004 elections. They covered for him as long as they possibly could. Until Katrina showed what an A** he truly was.

[LynneSin]

14. I heard Fox News was the leader in this movement

:sarcasm:

[emulatorloo]

2. "How the Left Swiftboated America" - has there ever been a clearer example of "projection"?

:rofl:

[notadmblnd]

3. Bullshit. the media treated him like a God up until Katrina

Then the blinders were peeled off for many in the MSM. Christ, even Tweety was enamored by his package before then.

[UTUSN]

4. So he admits that SwiftBotting is "no matter whether the charges are accurate" n/t

[BoneDaddy]

6. Swiftboating?

God, how unapologetically ripping off the very term used to undermine, demonize and marginalize John Kerry by the GOP, now being stolen to defend Bush.

Is nothing safe from being stolen by these clowns?

[RaleighNCDUer]

11. Equating the lies told about Kerry with the truth told about Bush. nt

[hfojvt]

7. the really ingenious part of those leftist swiftboaters

was when they had gas goto $4 a gallon and then they had 3 million jobs evaporate in 2008.

How dare the media try to make him look bad after all he accomplished?

[napi21]

8. I didn't meed anybody to tell me how bad this idiot was!

I didn't like him from the first day I heard he was jumping into the primaries! All that announcement did was brag about how he couldn't be beaten because he already had $30 million and will be able to raiseas much as he wanted! In reality, he turned out to be worse than I thought...not because of what the media said about him, but because of the BS things he did!

[aquart]

9. Ye gods.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. Whenever I see this twitsicle's face...

All I can think of is the episode of the Simpsons where Bart superglues a toy faucet to his forehead, some big false teeth in his mouth and some other stuff from a novelty shop. Wish I could find a screen shot and run them side by side.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. He's known around these parts as

The Albino Beaver.

[The_Commonist]

17. Don't these idiots know...

But who actually reads this tripe?

[Bitwit1234]

18. GEE Just think
