The Conservatives wandered in the wilderness from Coolidge until Reagan.

When Nixon resigned they went crazy with Hatred.

Reagan gave then a Soap Box to spread hatred.

When my Lord Clinton stomped Bush I they exploded with fury of Madness and Hatred.

They had a Congress whose leading spokesperson said in 1994 “If we get Congress we will investigate every decision made by this administration”.

True to his word Congress spent, according to GAO ($110,000,000), on Hearings and Investigations of the Clinton administration.

Their hatred became very abusive through right wing radio talk shows like Mush Dimbaugh who was recorded as spreading over 10,000 LIES(intent to deceive) in 4,000 hours of his transcripts. Edit by FAIR. Author’s extrapolation.

Their smearing of Clinton was local.

Now, the self-admitted Recovering Alcoholic Bush has made us a Worldwide Laughing Stock.

South America is electing leaders who exhibit true Christian virtues like “Care for the Least Amongst thee”.

Some are yelling—“WHO IS AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD BUSH”

World leaders who have met him laugh at his ignorance.

Oh! How I long for another Clinton Type leader.

One who is exceptionally intelligent

One who knows Governance.

One who truly cares about America.

One who cares for the less fortunate.

One who knows democracies thrive under a hugh middle class.

One who when he gets wealth uses it to do good for the least amongst us.

One who knows that when a small percent own the majority of the nation’s wealth
A Christian God will not allow them to survive for centuries.

The lower 80% will Revolt.

Had Clinton kept his zipper zapped I would put him on the Empire State Building in lights 100 feet high.

I love Bill Clinton. Very much.

Since you’re just tuning in here’s my take: If the roles were reversed, and a Dem president had a secretary of state and a chief of staff who were over 50 and had never been married, the attack dogs on the right would have a field day, picking through the trash outside the homes of these staffers, publishing lies and rumors etc. — until the sexuality of these staffers had the rightwing homophobic base riled up to Orange Alert over the fact that the country was being run by a bunch of queers.

Liberals don’t do that sort of thing, primarily because we are not obssessed with other people’s sex lives in the sick way rightwingers are, and because the base would respond pretty much as you did about what I wrote, which, technically, only implied they might be gay.

But I explicitly did not say Bush “hates queers” or has ever said he hates queers. (In fact, the point of the story is that his support for the anti-marriage amendment, etc., is all a pretense for political gain.) I said, “He attacks gay people in order to gain poltical advantage — leaving millions of his unsmart-American base with the impression that he hates queers as much as they do.”

(Sorry that I misattributed the question about doing this for money to you instead of Section9. I corrected above.)

But to the point of the screed, Chad is right. One of the problems with blogs, and the internet in general, is that it is in dire need of simple, editorial supervision. Sander Vinocur wrote this years ago. He was right, of course. This post, and zillions of others across the internet, use opionion and dress it up as fact.

Bad mojo. Kos can do that, but he’s got an excuse: he’s in it for the money. What’s your excuse?

I’m the farthest thing from Republican you could ever point to, but there’s a difference between journalistic integrity and tabloid writing. You might want to find out what it is.
