Because they're still getting mileage out of it. I was at a party in Oakland just a couple of weeks ago. Eventually, the subject of Iraq came up and predictably, all the locals were strongly anti-Bush and strongly anti-saving-their-dumb-asses-from-our-motal-enemies. I recall one old friend from that crowd saying that pictures from Abu Ghraib resemble footage from Auschwitz. I just walked away instead of trying to point out some of the subtle distinctions between Nazi death camps and U.S. military prisons. I owed it to the host not to stir up controversy. Besides, I'm not up to taking on this sort of invincible ignorance.
" I owed it to the host not to stir up controversy. Besides, I'm not up to taking on this sort of invincible ignorance."
I had a similar experience with the blindingly ignorant and had to maintain my cool, as it was neither the time nor place.
A lifelong friend of mine passed away recently.
He was conservative( he loved Ronald Reagan )but, from a family of big Democrat fund raisers.
At the reception after the service, we were gathered around the dining room table-must have been 25 to 30 of us at that time-all liberals except for 2 conservatives, my wife and myself.
Someone asked me whom I was voting for in November.
I replied George Bush.
One woman had hosted Jeb Bush in her home for a charity fund raiser and announced that George Bush was " stupid " because at that fund raiser, "Jeb " Bush spoke baby talk-to an infant.
I cannot follow that logic,but, I am not a Democrat.
She then said that Jeb's wife, " Columbia ," is smart.
I was tempted to say, " You stupid woman, her name is Columba," but, it wasn't the time or place.
This same woman informed me that George Bush is nominating someone to the federal bench-" who only speaks in Bible verses."
She gave me the Bible speaking judge's name and after an exhaustive Google search-I could not find his name anywhere.
Obviously part of the great Democrat urban myth machine.
The woman did allow that George Bush has surrounded himself " with good people, however."
None of the assembled has ever had the inclination to surf the net and validate the drivel that Rather and Michael Moore and the DNC feeds them.
As Rush says, they are intellectually lazy.
If the dopes ever decide to educate themselves, the Democrats will be in big trouble.
