But no one questioned Bush's religion or citizenship, Dave. And when the courts ruled that his election over Gore was legit, the left shut up and moved on. Democrats didn't try nearly 50 times to repeal any laws that Bush signed. Try to keep stuff like that in mind while you step away from the false equivalencies.

By introducing the Bush/Chimp analogy — though it most certainly was used often — you are indeed implying equivalency. The left made derogatory references to Bush = the right makes derogatory references to Obama. Here's why it's false:

The left expressed disrespect for Bush, the man. Never for the Office.
The right expresses hate for Obama, the man (largely based on race and perceived religious issues), and disrespect for the Office.

Both men have their failings. The discussion and relevancy of those failings is anything but equal.

Hmmm.. it sure seems you introduced it to make a comparison. Comparison implies likeness or equivalency. Otherwise... why bring it up.

The absolute seething hatred for Obama doesn't even compare to the Bush years.

YES I do, and although pretty silly looking I thought they were a "low blow" for even him.

I would have like to seen his face untouched . . . . with bars in front ! grin

BUT no one thought those serious- they were so silly... it is different in BO in that all the slander and lies is spewed in the name of "truth"... as factual.... they use those lies to make him less American, less human, and to alienate people from anything he tries to do. I am glad you recognize the inequality, Dave... many conservatives do NOT. They think it's "fair game". Course they taunted Clinton, Gore, and Kerry the SAME way !! They're vicious SOBs ! IF anyone is less human- THEY are !! sick

There's also the plain truth of the matter. Obama isn't a Muslim. But Bush is a chiump.

Difficult to dispute when one sees it in black and white and purple as above.

NOT with these arseholes... need a new breed of conservatives. & NO TP ! or their clones !

Now the Nuke has been dropped it's going to get worse, but they had NO choice... >50% filibustered under BO !! NO F-ing choice !! mad

WORSE mistake the Dems and BO made was playing by rules and being trusting and nice !
Gloves are off now, may the People / Country Win !!
