Anyone that disagrees with Bush about anything is summarily trashed by you and called names. (Actually it seems to be mainly TBLSHOW.) Surely we don't need to agree with you on every subject to be able to post on Free Republic. Disagreeing with Bush does not mean someone is a Bush hater. We scratched our head in amazement when the Democrats marched over to the White House after impeachment. Is that the solidarity you require? Yes, George Bush is a fine, honorable man who deserves our support. I also think that there are times when he deserves to be questioned. I don't think he wants to be a dictator.

That "Support Bush or be damned" is a figment of your imagination.

Quite frankly, I'd slit my wrists if he DID agree with me.

There are plenty of people around here who disagree with a lot of things Bush does, but they don't post lie after lie after lie after lie after lie about it.

Disagreeing with Bush does not mean someone is a Bush hater

Excuse me for re-replying, but I missed this remark.

If you insinuate Bush is a traitor and that he is in bed with terrorist and that he is a commie rat liberal and he's just like Bill Clinton, you can pretty much be marked down under the "Hater" column.

Disagree with Bush all you want; I don't agree with everything he does; but it helps if you're honest in your posting.

chnsmok.....many disagree with President Bush on a number of issues. I really have NOT seen this lock-step that many are accused of. But it has become so devisive that if an issue is being debated....and there are many against that issue and you weigh in with an opposite POV (supportive of the President), it has become almost automatic to be called a Bush-bot.

Further, there are enough REAL issues to be debated that we don't need to manufacture issues out of thin air. Over time, again imo, I have observed a small cadre that not only DELIGHTS in posting anti-Bush material, but they also jump-start their agenda on these boards on an almost daily basis with issues that lack evidentiary support. It's like a whisper campaign that grows and grows and grows. So when one keeps saying...evidence? Evidence? Evidence? And there are no replies to the questions...over time, an opinion is formed about a poster's intent.

That is what I have observed occuring.

And I know you wre addressing Howlin, I just wanted to give my opinion too.
