Laying Off the Bush-Bashing?

Laying Off the Bush-Bashing? Monday, July 26, 2004 By John Gibson The Dems say they're laying off the Bush-bashing for the convention. It's true that hating George W. Bush (search) has been the fuel that has driven the Democrat machine for months, if not years. But it's going underground now. The reason they can hide their true feelings is they know other operators will carry on for them. For instance, I was amazed Sunday to find The New York Times had managed to get a Bush-is-bad theme in every section of the Sunday paper. The first section was huge of course: Five out of six stories on the front page essentially said Bush is wrong and bad. Even the Art story focused on the misery of Iraqis! Bush is going to cheat you out of your medical care. Bush blew Sept. 11 -- front page theme and picked up with another story on page 20. The Boston convention section carried on the theme. Even the Sports Section! The Arts Section, the Travel Section, the Week in Review, the Business Section and the Sunday Magazine. Only Sunday Styles was absent overt Bush-bashing. But just by the way, in the same paper the Times ombudsman wrote a column admitting the paper is liberal. So the Dems can try to hide the fact that what motivates Democrats this year is how much they hate George W. Bush. They call him a liar, when he didn't lie. Has Joe Wilson apologized yet over that African uranium story that turned out to be true? They say he lied about the Iraq Al Qaeda (search) link when American intelligence showed tons of contact between the two and nobody knows what they were cooking up. They say he lied about the reasons for going to war and in that phony claim are a reminder the Robert Kennedy quote about a political opponent, “He knows all the problems and rejects all the solutions.” But this week they're hiding their irrationality and their hate and letting the self described liberal news media do their dirty work for them. That's My Word.

Who want to bet that this will turn into a Paul Welstone event. The emotional liberals won't be able to help themselves. It'll start off innocent enough, but after the first couple of nights it will degenerate into a Dominican tribal voodoo ceremony with chanting vitriol and chicken blood.

Just heard it. Gibson's lucid commentaries can only push Cavuto to new heights.

I can't wait for Al Gore to start baying at the moon in prime time.

I'm gonna be sure to have plenty of popcorn on hand for all of the drama this week. They won't be able to help themselves from bashing President Bush. Crazy Howard or Wacky Al will either have meltdowns or be heavily medicated. Either way, it will be great entertainment.

What concealed jabs will Ron Reagan Jr. say when he speaks in favor of embryonic stem cell research. (it is a certainty the DNC and useful idiots will try and spin it as if it is all stem cells)

Laying Off the Bush-Bashing?

The Dems say they're laying off the Bush-bashing for the convention.

It's true that hating George W. Bush (search) has been the fuel that has driven the Democrat machine for months, if not years. But it's going underground now. The reason they can hide their true feelings is they know other operators will carry on for them.

For instance, I was amazed Sunday to find The New York Times had managed to get a Bush-is-bad theme in every section of the Sunday paper.

The first section was huge of course: Five out of six stories on the front page essentially said Bush is wrong and bad.

Even the Art story focused on the misery of Iraqis!

Bush is going to cheat you out of your medical care.

Bush blew Sept. 11 -- front page theme and picked up with another story on page 20. The Boston convention section carried on the theme

Even the Sports Section! The Arts Section, the Travel Section, the Week in Review, the Business Section and the Sunday Magazine. Only Sunday Styles was absent overt Bush-bashing.

But just by the way, in the same paper the Times ombudsman wrote a column admitting the paper is liberal.

So the Dems can try to hide the fact that what motivates Democrats this year is how much they hate George W. Bush.

They call him a liar, when he didn't lie. Has Joe Wilson apologized yet over that African uranium story that turned out to be true?

They say he lied about the Iraq Al Qaeda (search) link when American intelligence showed tons of contact between the two and nobody knows what they were cooking up.

Thanks for the easier-reading version! I'm new at this and that was my first attempt at posting an article.
