While many Americans are mourning the loss of former President George H.W. Bush, some on the left couldn’t resist using his death to attack him.
George H.W. Bush passed away Friday evening at the age of 94 in Houston. The blue-checkmark left sprung into action, attacking the former president for his role in the War on Drugs, the Gulf War, and other issues.
Amanda Marcotte of Salon went on a long Twitter rant about Bush, accusing him, among other things, of using “blatant racism and toxic masculinity theatrics” to “appeal to GOP voters.”

We certainly didn't get one.
Though I disagree with them, to be fair, it’s what many of us did when McCain died.
These people are sick.
Salon: When hairdressers attack.
I can deal with the a-holes better than the phony hypocrites that praise him now that he is dead (but viciously hated him while he was alive).
They should have heard me when Kennedy died.
Wait’ll Ruth Vader dies.
Yeah. I don’t really fault them. When people sing the praises of a terrible leader after they die, I have a hard time not sharing my perspective. Give them the mourning period, then let loose the verbal long knives.
It’s what has been going on here on FR since he died, to our shame.
“I can deal with the a-holes better than the phony hypocrites that praise him now that he is dead (but viciously hated him while he was alive.”
Ditto!!
The are virtually sanctifying him——just because he didn’t like Trump.
.
Though I disagreed with GHW Bush policies, I always felt he was a nice and honorable man. I can’t say the same about John McCain.
It was a mistake to try to get along with the Left. They took it as an expanded opportunity to run roughshod over the rest of us, indoctrinate the next generation, and advance every perversion or insanity.
If HW had “Toxic Masculinity”, Trump must have Nuclear Waste Dump Masculinity.
When Kissinger dies it will be vicious on both sides.
“THEY” oughta read the unauthorized bio of geo bush...(Tarpley) they’d love it!
;)

Amanda Marcotte of Salon is a d.b.
Which proves the point that rinos are detested by a
consensus of Americans. This is a rare case that unites most Americans.
Rinos are beloved by the elites when rinos defy conservatives or when they are out of power.
What really rubs me wrong are the Leftists that are now saying he at least was a “statesman” and had good character and was a respectable President. Seriously? These same doo gooder’s and cant we get alongers only say this because they despise Trump at the moment.
As I recall, they wanted GHWB to go to hell and they wanted to put his son in prison for many years. Now they sing Kumbyah!!!
Makes me sick, all of it. Similar to how I felt with McCain’s week long event so I shut the TV off so I didn’t have to hear the crap spewing everywhere on both sides.
Yep. That’s how I see them both as well. Some people I simply disagree with. Others I see as moving toward the category of “monster”.
Yeah, but everything we said about McStain was true.
How times change, eh!
The Wimp Factor
Bruce Curtis
November 1989
“A year ago we were in the midst of a presidential campaign most memorable for charges by both sides that the opponent was not hard enough, tough enough, masculine enough. That he was, in fact, a sissy. Both sides also admitted this sort of rhetoric was deplorable. But it’s been going on since the beginning of the Republic.”
