Those on the other side can call me all the names they want. Personally, it doesn't bother me to be called a Bush-bot - though being called a sheeple tends to make me forevermore disregard the person who said it.

What bothers me is the sophmoric insulting of President Bush. In the past few days, it has reached a fever pitch. I'm very tired of Bush Boy, Junior, Commandant Bush, yada, yada, yada.
Then there are the truly imaginative posters, as the one who referred to him as "a teaspoon of feces in a cup full of pudding."

I know you don't engage in this, Sabertooth. But do you see how difficult it is to take the namecallers seriously?

I've lurked enough on both LP and DU to be used to insults to President Bush. But I hate seeing exact same terms here.

Discussing issues is one thing, and a completely necessary thing at that.
But the namecalling of GWB is too evocative of those other sites. Freepers are capable of intelligent argument - that isn't what we're getting.

There's been a lot of unnecessary name-calling on the Bush partisan side too---I can't count how many times I've been gratuitously and maliciously accused of "racism" for opposing the Bush amnesty plan.

Your point on namecalling is well taken: no insulting names for the CIC or his supporters. But "handsome is as handsome does"---if you really do love Pres. Bush and want him re-elected, try to tone down your rhetoric directed against those of us who speak up in criticism of some of the things he's doing. We'll all win that way.
