One thing to consider about this "ugly trend" is that Mr. O. is probably at the height of his popularity right now. Unless he manages to start a war the anti-O campaign will only grow over the years. |

Popularity's great, but it does little - at least in the short term - to quell the ugly hatred that is brewing amongst a seemingly substantial segment of the population. |

And what about threats against Bush, Kathy? There have been threats made against Bush, there still are. Where's the condemnation from the lefts on this issue? If something happened to Bush before the end of January, would you be complicit? |

I was actually just going to comment on that. I have been aware of very few and that's pretty remarkable considering he is the least popular president in my lifetime. |

They don't always receive much attention, and frankly, that's the way it should be. The more public attention you give it, the more you encourage these cranks... |

Very few or zero? These threats aren't published. Did you know Mr. Bush also has the highest presidential popularity ratings of the last 60+ years? I guess people see what they want to see. |

No, I didn't know that and I'm kind of doubting it. If true, it no doubt was during that short period after 9-11 when he made the one decent speech of his career, before he went and blew it, ah, and maybe at right after we invaded Iraq when the American public still believed in WMD. But, he's gone about as low as they go and sustained it. Got a graph? Believe it or not - I try to see the whole picture, whether I like it or not. |

Enjoy! http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/popularity.php As you can see Mr. Bush actually tied his father's record of 89% - but he acheived this rating more than once. You have to go back to Truman in 1945 to see the only ranking higher - on VJ Day. No more need to doubt. |

Didn't Mr. O believe too? I thought he just didn't want to defend us against it. Maybe I misremembered. |

I'm not sure where you get that. He was very much against the war before we went in. I think that once we went in and destroyed the government and infrastructure, his position became more nuanced, a la: You break it, you buy it. |

Quirt seems to be willing to confine his responses to this thread to snarky come backs to irrelevancies. It would be interesting to know how you feel about the real topic here. |

Ugly hatred brewing amongst a substantial segment of the population????? YOU??? HAVE THE UNMITIGATED GALL, TO TALK ABOUT UGLY HATRED BREWING AMONG A SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION????????? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BWAHAHAHAHAHQWAHAQHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (the "Q" means I'm choking..) We have listened to your ignorant ass spew hate for the last 8 YEARS. And just because we won't "properly" agree with you about how to respond to the fact that there are (and always has been) a small group of dickwads who would make racist threats, you think you have the right to lecture us about "ugly hatred"?? You are stupid. |

And what, pray tell, is the real topic? You guys have muddled it so badly, it's hard to tell. However, I have made some substantively responsive posts. For example:
Or this:
If you guys ever manage to stop gang-tackling Kathy and get back to discussing a real topic, maybe I'll join in. |

She doesn't need me to defend her. However, if you guys feel like seeing who can throw the most crap at her, it's pretty silly of JB to call me out on not sticking to the topic. |

Ah, to hell with it.. Hey Kathy - a black guy and a Mexican are riding in a car. Who's driving? The cops. Hey Kathy - how do you expect a black man to run the country when ten of them can't run a White Castle? Hey Kathy - What do Obama, John F. Kennedy and Abe Lincoln have in common? Nothing, yet.... Well..... she's already called us racists - might as well oblige her..... |

Do you know what happened back in 1850, 156 years ago? California became a state. The State had no electricity. The State had no money. Almost everyone spoke Spanish. There were gunfights in the streets. So basically, it was just like California is today, except the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands. |
