Democratic Underground Stubbornly Clings to Childish BDS

Attention all shrinks! You will have a field day analyzing the incredibly childish BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) exhibited by this Hate Bush thread over at the Democratic Underground. The author of the thread, William Rivers Pitt, is a real piece of work. In case you never heard of Pitt, he was a perpetrator, along with former fashion photographer and Truthout publisher, Marc Ash, and "investigative reporter" Jason Leopold of one of the biggest journalistic hoaxes of this decade: the supposed indictment of Karl Rove by Patrick Fitzgerald on May 12, 2006. All that Pitt managed to accomplish when the indictment never materialized (although he promised such an announcement within "24 business hours") was getting TruthOut unceremoniously dumped by Google as a news source and turning himself into a Web laughingstock. Even the leftwing Daily Kos treats Pitt with either humorous disdain or utter contempt whenever his name is mentioned there.

No rehab for these terminal addicts...

DUmmies epitomize all that is wrong with the country...

These people are mentally ill. Very ill. And I almost feel sad watching them. Like Rush says, they live lives that to them are pitiful, empty and meaningless and so they glom on to anything they think will give their lives purpose — like wacko environmentalism, anti war-ism, anti capitalism, a phony religion etc. Most of them are severely depressed.

I cannot wait when they realize that the One is just another politician who will not be able to turn water into liquid Prozac to cure all they’re ails.

Here's Pitt.

Oh wait, that's Chesswhiz. It's so easy to get them mixed up. Here's Pitt.

No, that's Applesauce. This is Pitt:

I don’t think you could DUFU that one, PJ. By the time you redact all the F-Bombs there won’t be any words left.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Is that 24 “business” hours?

Anything I can do to push 'em over the edge into "life insurance negation" territory, I will.

Watch the suicide rate rise as life starts getting hard, and their false messiah can't deliver on a *single* promise. Good riddance, and don't let the door hit your butt on the way out of the gene pool, losers.

What a co-winkydink, PJ! Just minutes after you posted this, I posted a Pitt DUFU!

Here, let me correct that for you:

The author of the thread, William Rivers Pitt, is a real piece of work sh...uh, fec..., uh, well, just better let it go.

Everybody knows what the POS is, anyway.

[reefdiver]

If u have em , Post pic’s
will be fun 2 use em later

[NewLand]

I ripped down my bush* Pants on Fire doll, threw it down, and then stepped on it. It's still there on the floor, lying on his face. Wow, that felt good!

Now that's sad.

[Let_It_Be_So]

As long as a single person disagrees with them, they will forever have someone to hate, for by definition they hate anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Put another way, they see themselves as the loving, compassionate, empathetic bunch and anyone who disagrees with them are unloving or hateful and thereby worthy of being objects of their disdain.

[HoosierHawk]

Now that's sad.

Yeah, but not surprising. Probably urinate on it later. :)

[Domandred]

us, and we don’t have secret service protection

[pctech]

I have promised to show the same respect accorded them to Pres O and Veep B

I work on a military base and I've already told my superiors that if O or B ever come to Grissom I'm taking the day off. I will not sully myself by even being in the same building as either of them.

BTW, sorry for the change in your original sentence but I will never utter or type either of them two mens names ever again. They are now "O" and "B."

[clintonh8r]

More than anybody else, they hate themselves....they just haven't realized it yet.

Liberalism is more dangerous to freedom than terrorism.

[Lucretia Borgia]

They are now "O" and "B." Perhaps, it might be more palatable if you switch the order to "B" "O"

[Deetes]

The sad thing is you can find a healthy amount of BDS on this site . Although the ones here will be wishing for President Bush in about a week .

As you can see, I’m a lousy typist, and a lousier proof-reader. I do much better when I write failure analysis reports. :)
