No one else here is going to see the irony in people in this thread calling conservatives (radio etc) "hateful" when the thread starts and continues in nothing but a hate fest itself?

Naw- did not think so.

I'm sitting with Leo on this one. :)

Here's a Bush quote from yesterday:

:eek:

This guy's a genius!

Hate fest? No.

Utter contempt and disgust for an administration that has lied their way into a trillion dollar, unwinnable war that has cost the lives of 2300 of our servicemen, and countless innocent people? Absolutely.

After reviewing this entire thread, I can find no reference to anyone hating conservatives. Hate for what now passes for conservative policy? You betcha! Wendybeth did refer to "hate radio" in one post. If anybody would pick up that bait, you'd think it would be me, but I didn't.

Now, you are picking up on a good deal of anger, that's for sure. I get angry when thousands of people die for no good reason. I get angry when politicians hold themselves above the law. I get angry when people, any people, elected or not, lie to my face. Don't piss on my boot and tell me it's raining.

Understandable. It's hard to defend the indefensible. I'm seeing this a lot in my formerly gung-ho Bush supporters here at work. It's much easier to lash out at Mr. Bush's critics, even as it's proven they've been right all along.

If anyone needs a good laugh, go here and click on the video entitled "Rambling Man".

I have vastly differing opinions to what is being posted in this thread. I am no Bush apologist, because I have been and am quite vocal about things that disturb me (spending, border policy, etc).

I'm just sitting it out because it has been discussed ad infinitum. There's no point, really. Just suffice it to say that I feel no differently about it than I ever have. That I am not inserting myself does not mean that I have changed my opinion or viewpoint on it or that I have any less fervor about it than I ever did.

Now, I'm not trying to bait anyone, and I really don't want to rain on the anger parade.

Just want to let everyone know that my silence does not equate to acquiescence.

Yeah, I hate war and the warmongers who start them.

What of it?

Hate? I would describe it more as disgust. Complete and total disgust.

You reap what you sow. Or something.

Ditto- please do not assume I agree with you. I don't.

Aside from political differences- I have to say I like people here quite well- but I guess just as Wendy sees "hate" in certain conservative radio shows, I see hate in the words here.

Same world- different lense. You say it's not hate- I see it as exactly that- hate. You see hate in things I do not as well-

But hugs for you anyway Scrooge- I don't get to talk to you often enough.;)

(yeah- quoted Leo and Hugged Scrooge- how about a hug Leo? LOL)

Ahem- sorry, stepping back to the bench now.
