NEW ORLEANS Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal diverged from the red meat attacks on President Obama that have characterized the Republican Leadership Conference to caution conservative activists that they ought not demonize the president in the fashion some liberals did President Bush.
Jindal recalled what he said were the "shrill, absurd and negative rhetoric" employed by the left during the eight years Bush was in office.
"We must not mimic their shallow approach," he said to modest applause in a Friday afternoon speech here.
Jindal, who just turned 40, is up for re-election this fall and is widely assumed by the state's political class to have national ambitions.
So even while tut-tutting the more sharp-edged attacks on Obama, he mixed in reassurance that he wasn't sympathizing with the president's policies.

Sorry Bobby. Too late. That ineligible, illegal alien, Muzzie lovin Commie is destroying our country. How are we supposed to feel. I’m furious. I want the guy impeached and put in Leavenworth. Sorry.
If Palin, Bachmann, or whoever else cannot see that it is the person of Obama and his morals, ethics, beliefs along with his enablers that are taking the USA to changes never envisioned by our Constitution, I question their their ability to give serious argument against what is going on now. There should be no hesitancy to challenge on personal grounds for what a person in government did/does. In Obama’s case he has demonstrated being a master of innuendo, double speak, and proven lies but he is a very good presenter with his Mussolini style. Show him for what he is and be not afraid.
I am not rejoicing....I am seriously worried for my family and country because of the deceiver we have in the white house. Jesus never ever expected his followers to ignore evil and act like it is not there or to stand back and allow him to destroy the Rule of Law with giving only accolades. Evil actions can never be allowed to stand. They have to be challenged. Like Jesus in the temple....
I can recognize sheer evil when I listen to the lies and condensation that drips from zero.
funny thing: your theology perfectly matches up with the torturers of the inquisition...beware... “how can you say you love God whom you have not seen and hate...”
don’t cover your passion for your side with a perversion of the Gospel.
Every time a Republican starts talking like this, I instantly lose respect for them.
It makes me question their conservatism, their intelligence, their sincerity, and/or their manhood.
I despise him too, but I won’t say it to anybody but a conservative. I’ll never say it to a mixed group. I understand what Jindal is saying. It was the incessant, unmerited attacks on George Bush that pushed me to love him. I had been trying to make myself into a Democrat when I recognized that I was a dummycrat in April, 2001. In the process, I became a conservative. George Bush was not. I could’ve had the same feelings for him as many conservatives, but the vitriol, the force of the attacks against him pushed me into his corner. That is what we risk doing to dummycrats, what Jindal is warning us about, not to make them reflexively fans of his.
Bobby... get a grip.
There is a tendency among the delusional, who feel compelled to suggest to the non-elected what they should think and what they should do...
We have documented evidence that as a group we have a firmer grip of history, economics, civics and human nature than you so.
So please, stop confounding disdain for incompetence and ignorance toward our elected "leadership," with hate.
We would rather have people who actually know what they are doing. Even Forrest Gump knew that stupid is as stupid does.
Nothing to do with hate in that case.
Are you insane?
You know how difficult it will be to undo several thousand pages of laws that nobody read, or was allowed to read?
The "progressives" have taken over more than half of the US economy and continue to pass laws restricting every individual right spelled out in the "Bill of Rights."
Funny thing is, I am still of the opinion that the Bill of Rights defines the limits over which amendments to the Constitution may not cross even by unanimous opinion of Congress.
We have a temporary problem with the Supreme Court insisting that as mere Citizens we don't have standing to challenge the ongoing assault on our Country's foundations. And the Court may not on its own initiative challenge the other two branches. What a revolting development!
That didn't happen around here.
No more so than after the demise of Jeffrey Dahmer.
I took the only rational option. I just kept quiet about the whole thing.
Ted who?
