The Alternate Universe of Conservatives

[JABBS]

"(Bush) must, as Nixon did with Vietnam and Reagan did with the Cold War, confront the adversaries directly ... without mincing words."

-- Ken Khachigian, former Nixon aide and Reagan speechwriter, Nov. 16

This is how the conservative mind works. Forget facts! Embrace spin! Confuse Americans!

Somewhere, Gus Hall is smiling. (And for different reasons, probably Karl Rove, too.)

Taken literally, Khachigian compares critics of the administration -- and let's remember, 57% of Americans believe that Bush "deliberately misled" the nation when making the case for war -- are akin to the communists of North Vietnam or the old Soviet Union.

Wow. What an insult to more than half of the country's intelligence. I wonder how quickly Khachigian can find work in the Bush Administration. With the Plame-gate investigation still under way, there may be some key openings upcoming.

1. Khachigian is a Nazi

2. I don't know about that ...

but he certainly is misguided.

3. I just assume that anyone who supports Bush by now is a Nazi.

AND a reptile from outer space. :D

4. ...

I don't think name-calling is the answer. Sorry. There is more than enough to say about the administration without resorting to the tactics of the conservative noise machine.

Let Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh embarrass themselves. We can do better.

5. Not me. I'll take the low road... take one for the team, so to speak.

:D
