A good article on Bush hatred

[Devastatin Dave]

Why is Bush so hated? (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101030922-485769,00.html)
I thought there could be some interesting discussion on this. Unfortunately i won't be able to reply as much as I would like due to my naughtiness. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

So here's another article for my friends across the pond...
Pity the French? (http://www.suntimes.com/output/otherviews/cst-edt-bret21.html)

Enjoy both articles, I did. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Well ... regarding the first article, it gives a good choice of reasons to dislike Bush (some are missing though http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif ), while the author's choice of words more or less openly displays that he rather likes to think of the things he lists as great achievements of a decisive man.

IMO opinion an attempt to sway readers without providing any background information just by wording.

I'd rather not post what I thought about the author of the second article when I read his opus http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif

The second article is nothing more than laughable. Relations between heat wave deaths and energy taxes? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

Without letting loose a full tirade which will get me banned. I'll just say that Bret Stephens is an arse and his opinion should be stricken from the record. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

Ah, this boring old whining again. We saw exactly the same style of argument after September 11th, why do people hate America?

Well, the reason people hate Bush is becuase he is a right wing zealot who has undermined American civil liberties, initiated a global war of futility, abused the UN, insulted everyone not American, whipped up anti-French racism for political expedience, and wrote a huge tax cut for his fatcat buddies. Oh yes, and now we see the Iraq was really about privatisation at gunpoint.

But of COURSE none of these things is motivating Bush-haters. Oh no - Bush-haters are irrational. They must be. Anyone who disgares with Republicans is obviously mad, and will soon be sent to a reeducation camp so that they learn thge rror of their ways.

Dave, I hope you only posted the second article to piss off people, not because you think that guy got something right.

[mystic brew]

the first article makes some valid points. I just happen to dislike Bush for the exact same reasons the author appears to like him.

'the illegitimate president who made a difference'
Fair enough. But the difference he has made is why I dislike Bush. His views are anathema to my own. I hate what he stands for, not who he is.

The second article is just bait. It's the sort of thing you hear from ignorant, ill-informed, bigots the world over.
Not worth discussing.

Why hate Bush - cause his wars are not as total as ours http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif
I personally think that wars like that one in Iraq - this is just crap - what kind of war is that - american boys dying on the steets of Bagdad and people want peace?
No people need peace - all ppl need war
And those UN junkies - what they can do - their blue soldiers aren't even real soldiers - cause soldiers are to fight and not to protect the babies.
This is how the things are.
Total War is what this world is all about
