This thread is a great examples of the disorder known as Bush-botitis. Symptoms include, but not limited to:

- blind loyalty to all things Bush (Bush 41 praise is a sign of Bush-botitis in extremis)

- citizens who dare question the decisions of the infallible Bush are immediately judged to be any or all of the following - traitors, DUers, elitists, neocons, Buchananites, dunces, etc. No exceptions made for radio talk show hosts or conservative pundits, polliticians, and writers.

- magical thinking (Miers is great because Bush says so. Bush can't appoint a Scalia because RINO's won't support it. Bush will tell conservative senators to support Miers or pay a severe price. Historical examples include: CFR stinks but must be OK because Bush didn't veto. Illegal immigration huge problem but Bush must know what her's doing. Bush can't stop pork barrel spending because of the WOT. )

- thin skin and poor sense of humor are often associated with this disorder

The second item on your list is especially fascinating. They really have to go through some serious gymnastics in order to pigeonhole all their opponents into the same little "fringe" box, no matter how hopeless it is to try to get them to fit. Denial is a very strong symptom of this disorder that you describe.

Actually, so is projection. They love to insist that their opponents are whiners for simply exercising their duty in a free republic to keep public servants accountable, but they don't realize just how whiny they sound by doing that.

....And symptoms on the other side include Punditbotitis. A form of sponsor driven mind control that is resistant to a cure and has evolved and replaced the original condition known as the ABC/CBS dear in the headlights syndrome.
