WHY WE HATE BUSH (It's the Stolen Election, Stupid)

Amazing, Bush is hated by RATS more than Nixon and Reagan.

I wonder why this dirt bag writer doesn't ask any of us how we feel about the Rats?

[Lost Highway]

I feel sorry for the dude; he looks so pathetic, so out of his depth, out there under the klieg lights, squinting, searching for nouns and verbs, looking like he's been snatched from his bed and beamed in, and is still half asleep, not sure where he is.

And yet he's assembled a team that is consistently kicking the dims collective rears. He must be really frustrating to know that he is out witted by an alleged half wit.

[Lost Highway]

frustrating = frustrated = me right now.

I have been around for nearly 70 years and I have never seen the country so polarized as it is today. It is scary. I do not know how it is going to end. We hated Clinton when he was in and now the Dems hate Bush even more than we detested Clinton. I thought perhaps after 9/11 we could all come together but you see how long that lasted.

Who is this guy, Ted?

Who is this guy, Ted?

He's a political cartoonist who despises Bush and the GOP.
His latest crap cartoon can be found here: uComics - Ted Rall

Speaking of hypocrisy...this dipstick is dismayed by the hypocrisy of "W"'s so-called draft dodging...The OBVIOUS question for this hate filled hypocrite is where was his righteous indignation when Clinton DODGED the draft, claiming he "loathed" the military, and would have to consider going to Canada?

[weegee]

The left hated Nixon since the days that he was spotting Communists in the Fedeal government.

The youth of the 1960s disliked LBJ and Vietnam but when a Republican took office, they were able to vent without having political reservations.

The left got sick of defending Bill Clinton but they could not admit that he was a crook; to do so would be to validate some conservative arguments.

Now that Bill Clinton is no longer in office, the Rats can vent again.

There was no theft. I would think that even Ted Rall knows this. Ted is not a Democrat; he is a self-confessed Anarchist. Ted did support the impeachment of Bill Clinton on the perjury charge but then he thought that Bill Clinton harmed the Democrats and that he didn't get through enough liberal policies (I think he just wanted to see Al Gore Jr. president).

Hey, Ted. Don't be such a (red diaper) baby.

[AmishDude]

Yeah, but what does that say about us conservatives who insist the other guy paid off the refs but lost anyway? :) ;)

Easy. The refs are even more corrupt than the enemy. They don't stay bought.

[Tatze]

Bush ended all that, suing to stop a ballot count that subsequent newspaper recounts proved he had lost.

I was about to say that this statement is a bald-faced and proveable lie. Thanks for the article that proves it.

[ohioman]

Ted Rall is the traitorous little shit who before the Iraq War, said that he was against the war AND OUR SOLDIERS. Ted is from my hometown, and God wouldn't I love to meet him in a bar while out drinking with a buddy of mine who got back from Iraq a few months ago. :)

You want hypocrisy? Read the linked article "Don't Support Out Troops in Post 86. Ted doesn't think there can ever be a justification for war. He thinks Viet Nam was unjust. Which is it Ted, should Bush have fought in Viet Nam or not. You can't have it both ways ya know...

[F.J. Mitchell]

THose losers made one fatal mistake in planning the 2000 election: They underestimated the number of dead people, illegal aliens, wino's, dogs, cats and ferrets, they needed to overwhelm the live, human, legally registered citizen voters, favoring the eventual winner.

That is one error they will make sure not to repeat in 2004.

A) If you don't like the articles I post, don't read them. B) If you don't like the articles I post, don't bother telling me about it. C) 70+ responses to this article indicate you are in the minority here.

I've come to learn that I have set my expectations for FR's level of discourse far higher than I should have. Thanks for clearing that up.

he's willfully ignorant – liberal projection (they are the ones willfully ignorant)

Fear breeds hatred, and Bush's policies create a lot of both – we were hated LONG before GWB was elected:

AMERICA's war on terrorism did not begin in September 2001. It began in November 1979.
That was shortly after Ayatollah Khomeini had seized power in Iran, riding the slogan "Death to America" - and sure enough, the attacks on Americans soon began. In November 1979, a militant Islamic mob took over the U.S. embassy in Tehran, the Iranian capital, and held 52 Americans hostage for the next 444 days.
The rescue team sent to free those hostages in April 1980 suffered eight fatalities, making them the first of militant Islam's many American casualties. Others included:
April 1983: 17 dead at the U.S. embassy in Beirut.
October 1983: 241 dead at the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
December 1983: five dead at the U.S. embassy in Kuwait.
January 1984: the president of the American University of Beirut killed.
April 1984: 18 dead near a U.S. airbase in Spain.
September 1984: 16 dead at the U.S. embassy in Beirut (again).
December 1984: Two dead on a plane hijacked to Tehran.
June 1985: One dead on a plane hijacked to Beirut.
After a let-up, the attacks then restarted: Five and 19 dead in Saudi Arabia in 1995 and 1996, 224 dead at the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in August 1998 and 17 dead on the USS Cole in Yemen in October 2000.
Simultaneously, the murderous assault of militant Islam also took place on U.S. soil:
July 1980: an Iranian dissident killed in the Washington, D.C. area.
August 1983: a leader of the Ahmadiyya sect of Islam killed in Canton, Mich.
August 1984: three Indians killed in a suburb of Tacoma, Wash.
September 1986: a doctor killed in Augusta, Ga.
January 1990: an Egyptian freethinker killed in Tucson, Ariz.
November 1990: a Jewish leader killed in New York.
February 1991: an Egyptian Islamist killed in New York.
January 1993: two CIA staff killed outside agency headquarters in Langley, Va.
February 1993: Six people killed at the World Trade Center.
March 1994: an Orthodox Jewish boy killed on the Brooklyn Bridge.
February 1997: a Danish tourist killed on the Empire State building.
October 1999: 217 passengers killed on an EgyptAir flight near New York City.

I noticed you participated maturely on another of my threads on partial birth abortion. How about you just stowe you oh so superior attitude and let people talk about what interests them? Thanks so much.

[ravingnutter]

I find it discouraging that he needs to get fed news from his staff than get it himself.

Why read fiction when you can get the real facts first hand from people in-the-know.

[sphinx]

I don't think that's true; they know as well as anyone else that Gore was trying to steal the election, in cahoots with the SCOFFLAw liberal justices, and William Daly, son of the champion election-rigger of all time, "Hizzonner" Charles Daly, Sr. What they're mad about - and won't admit to - is that the SCOTUS stopped that by making FLorida's vote-mining democRats play by the rules.

I think that is correct. The 'rats know perfectly well what Gore was trying to do. What infuriates them is that Bush fought back. The cheaters were exposed, live on national tv, shuffling the rules like a card sharp shuffles a deck. They will never forgive this. The 'rats had really expected us to sit back passively while they kept changing the rules until they found a formula that worked. Instead, Bush called them on it.

Frankly, Bush's effective defense surprised a lot of Republicans too. But it wasn't just Bush. Mention Indiana 8 in Republican circles in Washington and you can still see jaws clinch. There's a whole generation of GOP professionals who have had their eyes opened to the fundamentally dishonest character of the national democrat party. They're usually too polite to put it in those terms, but they understand perfectly well that the 'rats lie and cheat as a matter of course.

When I'm being sociable with Democrats, I often bring up Watergate, which gets them nodding. I then observe that the near death experience with Nixon is an important reason why the national GOP plays by the rules, while the only lesson the 'rats learned was that Nixon should have burned the tapes.

I truly believe the corruption in the Democratic Party has reached the point that a whole bunch of people need to go to jail to burn it out of them. Had we done what the DNC and CLinton did in '95-'96, half the Republicans in Washington would have done time. The dems, however, now treat it as a big joke, because they got away with it. They are beneath contempt, and profoundly dangerous.
