This might be the only thing in the entire universe on which we agree. I am hardly a fan of President Monkeyhouse and his cartel of reactionary goons, but there are, absolutely, without question, times and places where it’s appropriate to bring up, and where it’s not. rjung has been cut way too much slack on this, and in the interest of fair play (not to mention making our side look better by reducing the obnoxiousness quotient :)), it’s time to rein him in.
Same here. My politics are not hidden. But the world does not revolve around Bush, he is not some sort of elemental “He who is everywhere in all things”. If we are in a thread about U.S. politics, or certain more worldwide things, OK. But let’s not turn everything into a Bush thread.
I agree, but since the thread of the OP was something like “potential for nuclear wars in the future”, can’t ya kinda see how Bush’s current policies might be a relevant point? I agree rjung has been cut way to much slack. the cafe thread, for example, should have been (MHO and all) a smack down. any of the fake examples in the OP, sure. but the thread cited by the OP? NIMHO.
Yes Wring, I can see it easily. I was talking about threads, where talk of Bush being at fault for “whatever” really don’t fit.
Geez louise, anyone who thinks I’m a “one-trick pony” must have missed the dozens and dozens of messages I’ve posted in the various SDMB forums that have nothing to do with George, Dick, Condi, Donald, or Paul (I’d dig up the Hitchhikers’ Guide To the Galaxy thread in Cafe Society, but I’m being a lazy bastich right now).
But then, selective memories make the pitting that much easier, don’t they? 
Nice trick, considering that neither the title of the work nor the subject was ever identified…
Uhm… it isn’t exactly a laudable virtue to be able to discuss “Hitchhiker…” without mentioning Bush. Everyone can do that. When even those who share your politics tell you to cool it, you might think about listening. That is, if there **is **another trick in that pony somewhere…
I hate Bush. In fact, I hate him SO MUCH that I’d prefer NOT to read about him in threads on completely unrelated topics.
I’m a radical, I know. But I stand by it.
eh…
The chimpmeister is fair game.
Couldn’t see that coming…
Well, if Bush wasn’t such a friggin’ idiot, rjung would have nothing to bitch about, would he? WOULD HE???
Huh. I thought not.
What???
I kid, I kid. rjung isn’t so bad. He’s nowhere near, say, reeder. But giving Bush a break for a bit may not be completely uncalled for…
Don’t look at me, JohnT, I agree with you on this.
If Bush never even existed, there’s always someone else we could pick on. There is no shortage in the world of politics.
By the way, ever notice how much he looks like Curious George? Hmm his name is George too.
Maybe he can use that as his sig: “Hey, I’m not as bad as reeder.”
Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 - Hunter S. Thompson (in re Tricky Dick)?
I suppose I should simulpost this in the other thread.
Please post the the last time before today I bashed him.
Thanks.
If you’re gonna get blamed, you may as well join the fun? [running off to hide now].
What’s wrong? Are you jealous that **rjung **is being Pitted for serial Bush-bashing instead of you? Relax, I’m sure you’ll get your turn again before long.
Nah.
Playing with idiots is only fun for so long.
Then it gets old.
