Seriously, though, there has never been such an insane and hateful concerted onslaught against the president. I pray he makes it, but I fear for this next election. There are so many malinformed idiots out there.
...and that's what I see, too.
My first campaign was for Barry Goldwater, and my small southern town was 80% New Deal Democrat- but other than that nasty "Daisy" commercial, it never approached the mindless rancor and venom I see directed toward President Bush. And it's not just him who is singled out to be reviled: almost anyone on the right, religious people, and patriots ware equally despised, hated, and ridiculed.
Here's a true, local story to illustrate that- our local talk radio has two token Leftists who call all the time and frankly, make pests of themselves.
During the 8 years of darkness that was the Clinton administration, they were on speed, and speed-dial. Anytime anyone criticized anything Clitonian, they were always the next callers up, and hogged the lines until commercial breaks.
Ever since 2000, they've done something of the reverse- hogging the lines, but with every new Democrat talking point, and all the conspiracy/big oil garbage you find on BartCop and DU.
In a way, it's funny that they are reduced to bark-at-the-moon near-lunacy... but these guys are really serious about "Anybody But Boosh!"
And given the guillibility, and inattention of the average voter, it worries me.
I still think it's Boosh's fault.
