On the SDMB, it cuts one way a hell of a lot more than the other.
:shrugs:
I only have time for a quick search, but the Usual Suspects are not difficult to hunt down. And damn your eyes for making me break my policy of not reading what the cited moron posts.

Well, when you finally become a liberal, you’ll understand that you have nobody to blame for your own actions but yourself. 
Secondly, why shrug? I gave you one name. You had asked for one name.
Finally, I take the cited post as a joke. Perhaps I’m reading it wrong. Besides, I like elucidator.
The volume and savagery of the right more than makes up for any advantage of numbers the left might have.
Why, Shoddy, that is so sweet!. But I hasten to advise that, whatever you may have heard, I maintain a strict “dinner and a show” minimum. So such lavish flattery is most likely futile.
Aside to Hentor: backatcha!
This seemed like as good a thread as any to post this in.
Bush says, straight out, that oil is the reason for us fighting in Iraq.
Shall we look at the progression?
We have to invade Iraq because they have WMD! Sure, we had to set up the OSP and ‘fix’ the data, but we can convince y’all that there are WMD! WMD! WMD! SCARY!!!

We have to invade Iraq because they’re in league with Bin Laden! Sure, we had to stop chasing Bin Laden, and the only possible evidence for our claims is as flimsy as our WMD claims, but, it’s SCARY! Terrorists could get WMD and kill us all! Besides, our actions certainly won’t create a training ground for terrorists, as those damn Traitor Liberals keep saying. Hell, and it certainly won’t destabilize the country to such a degree that people will begin actually creating new WMD..

It’s for the Iraqi people! The Iraqi people! Freedom! Stay the Course! Freedom freedom freedom! What? What’s that? We secured the oil before seeing to civilian needs? We sent in far too few troops to help the people gain security? We didn’t invest the necessary troop strength and industrial capital required to get the country up and running again? What’s that you say? During Powel’s speech to the UN he never once mentioned humanitarian concerns as a justification? Um… Hrm.
Status: Sometimes still trotted out.
Naw, listen, the real reason we’re fighting there is so we don’t have to fight the terorrists here. Hunh? What? What do you mean that we can’t both be there to help the Iraqi civilians and to start a war on their doorstep so we can draw the terrorists out? You’re getting in the way of our talking point! What, you probably dream about blowing Michael Moore, don’t you, don’t you!
Status: Alive and kicking.
Alright, alright. All those other reasons? They’re not quite as important anymore. Oil. We need to keep their oil out of the hands of terrorists. Shut up! You so were not saying that was one of my goals all along! Well fine, I’ll just go to Crawford and clear brush for the next few weeks. Lets see if a disaster or missing cute white chick will take the heat off me.
Status: A new, fresh, steaming load! Whee!
I’m curious how the smear factory will organize talking points to deal with the massive, gaping holes in the logic at work here. Maybe they won’t have to. Most Americans are well aware of the clusterfuck nature of this little bit of cowboy diplomacy, and the rest are apologists.
And Shodan earns his “SDMB Persecuted Right-Winger” spiff of the week! Cue the violins!
They won’t have to. They know and understand that good patriotic Amurricans will eat up whatever horse shit is served up to them and beg for more.
