I am so sick and tired of schoolyard name calling by the administration, the US
media and yes, even some of the democrats running for president...

"Evil doer's..."

"Freedom Haters...."

"Al-Qauda..."

"Insurgents..."

Jesus Christ, we unleashed a fucking hell storm in Iraq and then anyone else who dares step into the fray is taunted with some immature label...

I just can't stand all the noise surrounding this war...

Do they really think we are that gullible...

Or are we that gullible...

I am just so exhausted with the passivity of this country seemingly cowed by the continual verbal battering from the bellicose rantings of a Messianic lunatic....

Hey man, let's have a minute for our troops before the Superbowl and then play it like there is nothing more important in this world than a fucking football game...

1. W runs on a childish fear attitude
Telling everyone to be very scared all the time and attaches label to that fear.

It seems to make it ok that we attacked an innocent country and blew them to smitherenes.

His sheeple seem to buy into it.

2. So true. I feel that way alot. Namecalling is taking the place of discourse
I watch the Washington Journal and i swear sometimes people call in and use names to substitute for reasons. It's on both sides though the right by 10 to 1. sometimes the left calls in and say they are sick of being called names for not wanting this stupid mistake of a war.
When did we go from debate and honest disagreement to school yard taunting and namecalling?

4. When CNN called out Fox on their Obama madrassah story, their response
Did Fox admit that their reporting was false, and that they should have verified it? No, it was to refer to a CNN reporter as a "Paris Hilton!"
