Would you like me to hurl an epithet at you? I don't think so.
People who attack the President in derogatory terms have to understand they are going to make people angry. This is different from a DISCUSSION of issues, which apparently those of us on the America-The Right Way thread are able to do.
We have a lot of anti-Bush people here who begin their criticisms with inflammatory rhetoric, and then when they are answered by Bush supporters they accuse us of being nasty.
My opinion, for what it's worth.
Think you've got your charge a bit twisted.
Quite frankly, you are one of the people who considers ANY iota of criticism of Dubya to be verboten, or else they are persona non grata AND "anti-Bush".
If some FReepers feel the man is wrong on an issue, we'll speak our mind and challenge him to remember his constituency...
On the otherhand, we certainly be in his corner when warranted.
We also have a few that start their anti government/Bush trash talk and then claim we "misunderstood them" when their lies are exposed. (personal experience with a few)
BTW, I'm not necessarily a Bush Bot but I am a JIMROBBOT. God bless Jim and FR.
Is it as inflammatory as mush for brains? Ignorant $^&^&^*&?" Commie? Democrat/Liberal? Jerk? Moron? etc? I don't think so...the one is personal, the other a generic term for a specific mindset. As to debate...I have to tell you with due respect Miss Marple, I have yet to hear a rebut to CFR, Immigration: 245i, Patriot's Act, Homeland Security, Tipps, Big spending? All I hear are lame excuses like...its about politics or he's trying to gain votes. Need he sell out my freedom to gain votes? Is that why I supported him in the first place? But for that I'm called outrageous names, personally attacked. I simply decided I wasn't going to take it anymore and will report anyone who does it regardless of who they are. What does a person's height have to do with his opinion? :o) It is destroying this site whose very premise in Conservative news and debate.
Hmmmmmmm.
I've found that sensitivity to epithets is not a good sign.
Aren't well-adjusted informed adults immune to name calling?
