Are Republicans racist???

[DeistPaladin]

Haha, you are so biased sometimes it's crazy.

Well, you can dismiss me with ad hominems but I'd appreciate it if you would engage my arguments. Still, I understand. The "both sides do it" crowd like to dismiss any liberal who tries to upset their balanced, centrist world with facts.

Bush didn't have to deal with 9/11 truthers? The 9/11 truthers blamed Bush.

Name one credible liberal pundit or politician who was a Truther. Compare this to how many Birthers there are in the ranks of Republicans, many of whom are still welcomed as commentators on Fox Noise.

Even back in the days when I was marching in peace marches, enraged at Bush for lying us into the war, I laughed at the Truthers and being crackpots. These people were never taken seriously by anyone except Alex Jones and certain nuts on the internet.

Certainly Bush never had to provide proof that 9/11 was not an inside job the same way that Obama had to produce his birth certificate to prove he was born in America.

When was Obama blamed for a hurricane?

Bush appointed a political corny who had no qualifications to run FEMA. Bush had sent state national guards to fight his personal war in Iraq so they weren't available for situations like when New Orleans got hit by the hurricane. Even discounting those who think Bush's response was too slow, these two blunders certainly made it worse.

So, no, he wasn't blamed for a hurricane. He was blamed for his response and his bumbling leadership mistakes that made it worse.

Yes, liberals hated W Bush (although he now seems like a moderate in comparison to the GOP today). But you know what's different from liberal hatred of W vs. conservative hatred of Obama? Two things:

1. Liberals could articulate why they hated W. (see my post to ATheist above)
2. Liberals worked within the system to oppose him.

Ask a conservative why he/she hates Obama and you'll get two things:
1. Vapid insults like "he's a communist"
2. Untrue statements like "he's trying to take away our guns".

Oh, and conservatives are gearing up to shut down the government again in yet another political tantrum. This is something you never saw during the W administration. Let's hope the damage to the economy is fairly light this time.

How is MSNBC liberal commentary and not propaganda? Give me a break.

1. They don't lie.
2. Their commentary shows are distinguished from news shows, unlike at Fox where commentary and news reporting are done by the same people and the lines are deliberately blurred. Maddow is never an anchorperson. She doesn't moderate NBC talk shows like Meet the Press.
3. When Maddow et al make a mistake, they humbly correct it.
4. MSNBC also has "morning Joe", who swings a heavier bat at MSNBC than Maddow.

But don't let the facts bother you. Just keep saying "Both sides, both sides, both sides".
"Both sides, lalalala, both sides, lalalalalala both sides..."

Bush could of personally rescued a bunch of orphans from a burning building and Deist Paladin would find a way to spin it negatively.

Cheney could be videotaped ripping the throats out of and drinking the blood of orphan children of veteran parents who died in Iraq and the first words out of Capt.Awesome's next post will be:

"But the Democrats..."

Sorry dude but "both sides do it" is an article of faith.
