BDS is the result of lies, and it was hatred of Bush, not respect for him, nor anything he did in office, that is the cause of the Obama presidency.
Blaming Bush for Obama is not only not true, it is the polar opposite of the truth.
I think what we're dealing with, not only on the far left, but right here on FR, are people who swallowed the lies, who believed the myth.
The idea that Bush is stupid, that he is 'mindless,' or a 'nitwit' or a 'stammering fool' are ALL evidence that the person has been brainwashed by the LEFT. That was the algor/leftist game plan from the year 2000, and some people calling themselves conservative clearly fell for it.
I truly wonder if any of them are 9/11 truthers. They are irrational, so as you said, it's only a 'short distance' from where they are to where Danny Glover or Charlie Sheen are.
We need a book on the causes and implications of BDS in America
