Pot calling kettle...
I just laughed while reading this post on a right-wing website.

Here's the first post...and the response to it is hilarious.

Interesting how you trash Dean but don't really disagree with what he's saying. He doesn't really care what republicans think of him, he knows he has no shot at national office and can always go back to practicing medicine. He actually used to be fairly conservative, the real question is why did he become so anti-republican?
Some of the comments he was making ring true with me. I think life is getting harder for the non-wealthy in America. I've seen it first-hand. We've lost a lot of respect internationally, for those who care and realize that as part of a global economy we have to care, that's a big problem. We've got deficits up to our eyeballs with no end in sight, and a president who probably believes the world is 5000 years old and Noahs Ark is somewhere in the grand canyon. The leaders of the ruling party are being investigated for different types of corruption, and the gov't is contemplating how it can go about slashing health care for the poor. There is little to be happy about right now with regards to the direction of our country.


And the response...
How wonderful for you that you know President Bush well enough personally to make your judgements about his intelligence level.
And yes indeed, there have been investigations but as far as I am aware no conclusive fact finding of corruption - as usual, just a lot of unsubstantiated talk. That's called politics. And all politicians engage in it.
It draws attention.
It diverts from other, more important issues, and most importantly,
it appeals to people who stand in line and read the National Enquirer.
That's called yellow journalism, and most our so-called "Journalists" (shouldn't that really be "urinalists"?)
write at some level of that style.

If you're stupid enough to believe it without balanced investigation,
then you get what you deserve.
Use your brain! Don't let them spoon feed you that garbage.
I know you're smarter than that.



I thought it was a riot. Telling one of his own not to believe the garbage. :D

1. No conclusive fact-finding of corruption?
OK. OK.

I guess the indictments against Tom Delay aren't conclusive enough for this person; however, what will they think this week when more people are indicted?

Are indictments, by virtue of the name, not "conclusive, fact-finding?"

Oh, brother. :eyes:

2. Now they're beating the "innocent till proven guilty drum"---isn't it
funny how they never made that point when Clinton was impeached but not convicted?

3. 'bush is god, worshop him or die'
to make it so simple even a fool comprendo's!
btw there should be a way to track down such people as the latter poster, using the miracle of electromagnetics. no society should allow such sick perverts to walk around free...they need a straitjacket (with taylor's 'you got a friend' piped into them 24/7) just to be non danger to themselves or the future....
another thing: why are you frequenting nazipooh websites? you do know that chairman stalin, for example, thought 'investigating' the enemy was best done by those trained and experienced in watching out for wrong headed thinking, lest it infect them? just a consideration....
