Here keeping a very brutal dictator who had gassed his own people with VX and other nerve agents, in power was accepted as it was a means of attacking George Bush. These same people called G.W. Bush a "mass murderer" and a "war criminal" for bombing supposedly peaceful and innocent Iraq? Perhaps even all those huge "anti-war" demonstrations orchestrated by liberals world-wide did not actually exist. Yet, these very same people are still on their feet, cheering Obama in a wild frenzy, for bombing Libya who has been far more peaceful than Iraq. Are there calls in the press labeling Obama a "war criminal" or "mass murderer"? If there are, I certainly have not heard them. Perhaps I just imagined George Bush being called all of these things. What did Jimmy Carter assert a while back? Was it not that all criticism of Obama is based in racism.

Some excellent points. One needs to keep in mind that from the left's perspective George Bush was not really the President. The hatred engendered by the 2000 election was palpable throughout late 2000 and 2001. The loss of the finely tuned machine, Al Gore, was just too much for the left and they had a breakdown. Finally they could pour out this latent hatred towards GW and the right for "stealing the election" after Iraq became problematic without appearing anti-American in the wake of 911. Leftist protests appeared more like 1979 Iran than typical anti-American position protests. Of course, when the superhero arrived in 2009, all of that anti-war angst went poof and disappeared behind the magician's cape despite the continuation of virtually all the Bush administration policies. Those policies were of such a nefarious nature that Obama retained what heretofore he had railed against.


BTW, keep sticking around. I was enjoying your posts and positions. Now, if flcaltenn would only come back.
