The Wingnut Payback Game

[HopeOverFear]

Bob Cesca:

The wingnut freakout over the president's response to the Underpants Bomber is proof that the far-right is only interested in a childish game of paybacks. They're simply taking criticisms of Bush and using them to attack President Obama, regardless of whether there's any real similarity (there isn't).

We ripped Bush's response to Katrina, so they're ripping President Obama's response to the failed Underpants Bomber. Of course this begs the comparison -- Katrina? Underpants Bomber? Similar, right?

This is all about, "See how you like it, liberals! NAA-NAA!"

Furthermore, at this point there should be no doubt that if there's ever a successful terrorist attack that the Republicans will call for the impeachment of President Obama. Or that they would have if Gore was president on 9/11.

Don't forget that after the successful terrorist attacks of 9/11, Bush's approval ratings shot up to 90 percent. The Underpants Bomber was a total fail, and, reading the wingnut blogs and Twitters, you'd think President Obama put him up to it. But the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil was a major win for Bush. How does that work?

1. They forget nobody ripped them at the time of 911,

or the shoe bomber. Their fuckin amnesia for all things prior to 1/20/09 is getting old.

3. It's easy to be a republicon..all you have to

do is lie your fuckin' head off and hope they buy it..and hey, you always have your base, the corporatemediawhores, to catapult the propaganda.

And, that's way past OLD.

5. yep

2. Our domestic enemies, the republicons, are

like dealing with inmates at an insane asylum. Think that's too harsh? I don't..I was trying to come up with an analogy and everything else was too tame.

Oh, and that's a criminal insane asylum.

It "works" because the corporatemedia says it does. The mediawhores being Public Enemy Number One.

4. Its all political all the time...

The republicans made a decision to turn their backs on governing the country and engage in political gamesmanship during the Clinton administration. Now that they are really out of power they have ramped up their efforts to politicize everything and govern nothing. While they will certainly gain a political advantage again - they will never again help make America better for the vast majority of its citizens.
