Been a while since I looked at the comments here on truthdig. Now I see why.

We have two flaming each other - “Go Right Young Man” and “Inherit the Wind”
all I can say is get a room and leave the comments clear of your carping at each
other.

Then we have the leftist conspiracy rant of “johnnyfarout” - who thinks the Twin
Towers were brought down by the right “when it is sooo obvious that the 3
buildings were blown up by munitions” somehow he cannot accept the fact that
a crashing jet full of fuel could cause the damage it did. Sorry Johnny, but hey,
maybe you can join the second-shooter crowd, after all today is Nov. 22.

Finally the rant of “patriot101010101010” who, well I cannot begin to figure out
what point, if any, he / she was making.

Guess I’ll go back to leaving comments elsewhere as the escapees have taken
over the asylum here.  Shame. I really like Robert’s commentary on Left, Right,
& Center.

He did actually admit to making a mistake by not getting Social Security Insurance thrown into the stock market just before the stock market crashed.

ITW, - “You talked about MYRIAD issues claiming lefties aren’t against Obama on it, including Guantanamo.”

-

As I have said.  You have an incredible knack for not listening.

I did not write that there are no lefties against Obama on the various protocols.  I wrote that those protocols have been expanded by a Leftist president and congress - less the same outrage we saw directed toward his predecessor.  I doubt I could have been more clear.

The fact is, for all the talk of Neo-Con era “torture”, it is now acceptable for the more liberal minded (president and congress) to slow the rate of capturing, interrogating, and putting suspects on trial, and replace those protocols with summary executions. - There is no widespread serial outrage from the Left on these issues.  The national democratic/liberal establishment has simply, largely, remained silent.

Now, once again, if you can point me toward this national outrage, the likes of which we all witnessed during the reign of the evil Neo-Cons, feel free to bring that to my attention.

GRYM:
You are impossible.  You cannot micro-manage any and every thread just to achieve your particular extreme right-wing agenda, and yet you insist on the right to do precisely that.

You talked about MYRIAD issues claiming lefties aren’t against Obama on it, including Guantanamo. Gee, haven’t you been listening? Most of the things you listed have PRECISELY been listed by other posters as what they are grossly unhappy about.

But why pay attention to facts when you can make up your own? Fact: Lefties ARE complaining about Obama’s Terrorism policies in all their variations and have been for most of the last 2 years.  All you have to do is re-read the threads under “REPORTS” for the last 6 months.

And stop trying to micro-manage the agenda to suit your own parochial positions.

Where were you?

ITW,

That’s quite the rant.  Unfortunately it has nothing to do with anything I’ve written.

Now if you’d like to point me to the prominent liberal or progressive who’s outraged by the “constitutional crisis” or the “unjust summary executions” during the Obama administration?  You know, the subject I actually wrote of, Mo Mo?....LOL

Where is the serial outrage from the open-minded, peace-loving, morally superior Left?
***************

Haven’t you been reading the posts here?  The extreme Left and “Progressives” hates Obama even more than you. The Left and true “Progressives” are dismayed by him.  Only the DINOs are happy with him.

And, of course, the Re-thugs call him a “socialist”—as the head of Fox Noise did recently, just before he called all the admins at NPR nazis.

But I don’t expect you to read anything that challenges your world view, which currently includes that fallacy that the entire Left loves, adores, and sees no wrong in Obama or his policies.  Of course that’s the Fox Noise “Official Analysis”—just ask Roger Ailes who calls all the shots.

There’s very little “Left” left in Congress, and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have shut down most of it.  The rest, like Feingold and Grayson, just got voted out of office.

Yeah! I waited in long lines to buy Bush’s book just like I did for Palins, and now the new Harry Potter Movie midnight showing,  it is well worth the long wait, to get those autographed copies signed by the main character?

For all the past talk of hitting the reset button, Obama has quietly accepted almost the entire Bush anti-terrorism policy. There is no more bragging about closing Guantanamo, ending renditions and tribunals, ending domestic electronic surveillance, ending “enhanced interrogations or trying KSM in a civilian court; idiotic parlance like “overseas contingency operations” and “man-caused disasters” hasn’t been heard for months. We are now witnessing the surreal world of Hillary Clinton (“suspension of disbelief”) defending America’s use of force in Afghanistan against international criticism and explaining why a Petraean surge is working this time, when she is in charge of U.S. foreign policy.

When Obama urges the American people to have patience with his war plans, as he ups the number of Predator drone assassination attacks and special-forces hit missions, then we are living in quite an alternative universe to wanting all troops out of Iraq by March 2009 and declaring the Bush surge a failure.

For all the talk of Neo-Con era “torture” it is now acceptable for the more liberal minded to slow the rate of capturing, interrogating, putting suspects on trial and replacing that protocol with summary executions around the globe. - Where is the serial outrage from the open-minded, peace-loving, morally superior Left?

I really must take exception to any analogy of GWB to Piaf!  But that doesn’t mean I dislike the portrait you paint of the Worst President in U.S. History.  He still is, he always will be, and that’s that.  Remember, he lied all through his run for office and eight years of disastrous policies.  So, what should we expect him to do now?  Tell the truth?  He is incapable of telling the truth.

To regret any prior action is to understand why and how it happened. It is utterly lacking with George W. Bush, given his limited intelligence and awareness of what was going on around him.

This is just a continuation of the garbage he shoveled out during his
administration.  It is only aimed at the 20% to 30% that will believe any thing he
says.  Bush already knows that the reality based world thinks he is full of it.

Bushbull

Why should G.W. regret anything? He was raised in the universe of high-end
power, money, and militarism. The people kept him in power for two terms. And
all he got was a shoe thrown at him, which he missed, in a foreign land under invasion. It all fits well with the nation’s “vie in denial.”

I’m going to wait to read this book once it comes out in paperback and I can buy it in a used book store, or as a remainder piled up in one of these warehouse stores around town. I have no doubt it is all lies and spin, so I can wait. I read Shivani’s review on Huffpost and it is probably the best we’ll get. I take one issue, though, that I hope all the interviewers and reviewers take up. What Bush went through and what he did on 9/11. I would focus on that, and ask what he thought went on in NYC when it is sooo obvious that the 3 buildings were blown up by munitions and how come he never thought how peculiar that was. It is my contention that a right wing coup happened on 9/11 and the violence of it has not ended. It flames across the world still today. After Bush’s deer in the headlights moment, his coterie took him aside and introduced him to his new masters, the same old masters, but now he knew his office was under their thumb, and he had nothing to offer but to do and say what they told him. He did not come up with any plans from his own head. It was fed to him and he garbled it a bit, because his borderline personality was in full retreat. He wanted to run away, but they told him God had chosen him like his Mom said. So, he went out and said unusual things in an unusual way and was probably given sedatives so he could perform just like all those Hollywood bingo bangos do on center stage. 9/11 catapulted the New American Century into action and all the key players were in place to carry the ball. Bush was shuffled along out on the field as the team made for the goalposts and it showed in all his stumbling speeches. My point is 9/11 was an astounding success. It is still a success as the republican party and all those midwestern hardware store congressional philosophers, who refuse to say what’s on their minds, to the left behinds, as the great Society smashes and grabs its way through these sort of scavenger histories, the likes of which Bush is giving us here. Mind deadening junk. We olde New Leftists had all the “cowboy and yankee” analyses long ago. We always knew the terrorists were in the Pentagon and in the CIA… and that heroin came from Afghablamastan and funded all the black ops that go on all the time, 24/7. The good ol’ boys are never gonna’ spill the beans. You have to put 2+2 together yourself and see that it equals 4 with a long shadow.

Just the other day, he admitted to authorizing torture….

A jackass is a jackass is a jackass is a jackass. With apologies to Gertrude Stein’s ghost.

The Huffpo analysis was brilliant and terrifying. The damage this evil bastard did to our nation will reverberated for decades, even worse than what Reagan did that showed the way.

If nothing else this book shows just what a sick little shit George W. Bush is, wooden, rigid, insecure, unable to defend his position in the face of challenges so he gets rid of the challenger.

I expect only Hitler, Stalin and Mao will be more ex post facto psycho-analyzed.

Here’s the real issue.. courtesy of George Carlin..

Look for and watch the whole commentary!

Adios!

As long as this serial killer by proxy remains at large I will not again vote for Obama or any other of the pseudo-progressives that call themselves democrats.
