Oh Heavens! Say it isn't true!

Laura Bush poking fun at the president??!!

According to current conservative thinking, doesn't that make her un-american, un-patriotic, part of the evil empire, and (gasp) maybe even one of those awful liberal, democrats?

What is this world coming to?? I shudder to think!

The opinion poll.....
May 1, 2005 11:21PM PDT

...... incorporates the opinions of both parties. The poll was taken nationwide.

The First Lady is very much admired, as was her Mother-in-law.

Those opinions rise above political views, and to say otherwise casts doubt on the high regard in which she is held.

Sure we do. Hatred is what liberals direct at conservatives.

Disgust is what conservatives direct at liberals. Simple.

Got that reversed, KP.

And the stats show it, on this very forum:
hate or hatred + liberals: 38 hits
hate or hatred + conservatives: 22 hits.


Besides, hatred is unChristian -- one is to love one's enemies, remember?

How did you arrive at your tally by the way? One usually discloses methodology when posting such results because they are very open to interpretation. I guess, however, you would expect that approach from scientists rather than the layman.

Did you read any of those posts? When you call people nazis, taliban, etc. over and over. Refer to the President as a chimp or an idiot or an imbecile, which is all too common THAT IS HATE SPEECH!

Ever seen an ANSWER rally? Ever visit Michael Moore's website? Ever listen to AirAmerica? You think it's not hate when they do a skit that features the President being shot as a positive thing

Look at reality.

My quick looks show that things are fairly even-steven here.

A very interesting article...

Oh Heavens! Say it isn't true!

Can you say 'loose cannon?'

DeLay enjoys a good (Cuban) cigar

Conservatism today in the United States, eternal victimhood

It wasn't supposed to be this hard. LOL

There you have the authoritative opinions of the Bobsey
May 1, 2005 5:41PM PDT

however many 'tuplets. Numerous voices but with one thought, Get those Damned Liberals to shut up, its our forum.

Your distinction between Hatred (which is pointless, and which we don't feel) and Disgust is perfectly drawn. Indeed I actually feel nostalgic for my old disgust at Milhouse Nixon, since he seems such a mild and almost inoffensive creature after Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush. Actually take Clinton out of there, he was the best Republican president since Nixon.

Don"t let those of unorthodox parentage without benefit of clergy get you down, Bill.

Why is she scouring the fly by night

website trying to come up with something to discredit him with. Is she passing along information that she knows to be false? Is she pandering to the uneducated people that live in a world of darkness, hatred and would rather run down the other guy that come up with a candidate that we could all support.

May 2, 2005 12:15AM PDT

.... that this thread has ignored the humor and the fun , and used it to disintegrate into the same old, same old snide remarks and pot-shots.

I saw several clips, and all had a great time!

I agree ...
May 2, 2005 12:27AM PDT

... but you could hardly have expected better considering how the thread was started in the first place. FNC has been playing various clips all morning -- the one about milking a horse was hysterical. Cedric the Entertainer had some funny quips about Condi, and the clips of her laughing along showed everyone having a very good time! No awkward Imus moments Wink
