> [@The\_Tooth](#): > > Because it works. Purple bandaids and accusations of hating freedom got Bush elected in 2004, and crying about Nazis and death panels seems to effectively be putting the kibosh on health reform. I don’t see a lot of Bush Administration torturers answering for their crimes in the future either. Well, if you call losing the House, the Senate and the Presidency working. Not just losing the Senate but not taking a single Democratically held seat. And ceding a 60 member majority - given to you when a former Saturday Night Live comedian beats out the guy the GOP threw money at. And your side’s response? Claiming that it’s all great and that they’d rather have 40 true believer senate members than 60 GOP members that might be “soft” on some pet issue or another. Not just losing the presidency but giving a black guy with the middle name Hussian and a preacher who screams “God damn America” the largest majority since 1964. Health care reform isn’t even close to over - plus up to today it’s gotten out of the house and all but 1 Senate committee - that’s much much further towards passing than Clinton’s plan ever got. I’d submit that it doesn’t work - it hasn’t since 2004. It’s put the GOP in a gigantic hole and they don’t even know it. Right now they seem to think they can say or do anything and they’ll win back house and senate majorities because that’s the way it worked in the nineties. ---

Good luck with that. I think this is the SDMB right wing apologists Big Lie. I’ve asked two different people claiming that phrase had wide currencty for some backup to their assertions and have got nothing (or some lame excuse of “I was just using a phrase that they MIGHT have used since they said stuff like it”.) ---

They’ve still managed to take control of the health care debate and turn it around on the Democrats, though. I’d suggest that the crumbling of the House of Bush you describe can be attributed not to the failure of their propaganda methods but their inability to actually govern once they’ve scared people into electing them. > [@](#): > > I’d submit that it doesn’t work - it hasn’t since 2004.

I hope you’re right, but having watched the Bush Administration’s antics and those of their followers with some interest I don’t think you are. My faith in the American electorate to not be suckers has not been restored yet. ---

In fact (as many of us keep pointing out), when two people out of thousands posted videos to a [moveon.org](http://moveon.org) contest that made Bush-Hitler comparisons, videos that MoveOn did not endorse and took down within a couple of days, the right wing blogs and punditry lost their collective poop. If such comparisons had made it into more mainstream sources it would have been an ungodly huge deal. ---

> [@chappachula](#): > > Umm..I remember a little movie called Farehenheit 911, and little guy named Michael Moore.And a woman named Cindy Sheehan…The dems didn’t exactly run like hell to avoid 'em. IIRC, Sheehan didn’t start out crazy, and was initially a good emotional argument against the war. Once she started going off the rails, the Democratic mainstream backed off of her pretty quickly. At least, that’s my recollection, but I’m open to correction if I’ve misremembered it. Michael Moore is still popular in liberal circles, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him criticized as crazy. Even his most ardent critics seem to view him as dishonest and manipulative, but not deranged. I haven’t seen _Farenheit 9/11_, though. What in particular was crazy (as opposed to incorrect or heavily spun) about it? ---

Another one of those “Left wing shit doesn’t stink as bad as right wing shit.” threads. The OP even mentioned something about how at least the left doesn’t forge documents. Loyalty to the tribe, the belief that “others”,are somehow different and inferior, the insistence that “our” group is somehow better than the other guys’. Were still only halfway from the tree. ---

Luckily, you do get the guns at the halfway-from-the-tree point. So, when you’re a gubernatorial candidate in Idaho discussing the upcoming statewide wolf hunt, and someone in the audience asks about buying “Obama tags”, you can reply, “[We’d buy some of those!](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/27/rex-rammell-idaho-goper-j_n_270751.html)”. Man, I remember when Democratic candidates for governor joked about killing Bush. That was awesome. ---

I’d just like to mention here that Bush was never in the national guard; Dan Rather has the documents to prove it. ---

So, Pastor Steven Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, AZ gave a [sermon](http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/gospel-hate-arizona-pastor-steve-and) the other day. The usual Christian stuff. You know, stuff like: > [@Steven Anderson](#): > > "The same God who instituted the death penalty for murders is the same god who instituted the death penalty for rapists and for homosexuals, sodomites and queers! and > [@](#): > > [Homosexuals] recruit through rape. They recruit through molestation. They recruit through violation. They are infecting our society and > [@](#): > > I’m here to preach the Bible. And I’m sick to death – hey, let me tell you something. Our country is run by faggots. You know who wrote this 700-billion-dollar bailout bill? You know who was the man who was the architect of the bailout? His name is Barney Franks, he is a pedophile, he has been arrested for uh, interacting with boys that are in their teenage years when he’s in his 50s, it’s in the news, he’s been arrested for it. He is a pedophile, he is a homosexual, he has stood up in the floor of the sacred halls of justice and said, ‘I am gay, I am a sodomite.’ Good old-fashioned values. Then, he ramps up to the best bit: > [@](#): > > But let me tell you something: I don’t love Barack Obama. I don’t respect Barack Obama. I don’t obey Barack Obama. **And I’d like Barack Obama to melt like a snail tonight. Because he needs to recompense, he needs to reap what he’s sown.** > > \ > > … But I’m here to tell you tonight, that God is a God of wrath and vengeance. And that’s the message that oughta be thundering from every pulpit in America today. People oughta be trembling today. People in America oughta be scared to death and trembling! And saying, ‘Oh God! What are you gonna do to our country?! Oh, God! Are we gonna be able to survive?! **Oh, God! Are you gonna allow us to go into the depths of socialism, and communism with Barack Obama!?** ’ > > \ > … And yet you’re going to tell me that I’m supposed to pray for the socialist devil, murderer, infanticide, who wants to see young children and he wants to see babies killed through abortion and partial-birth abortion and all these different things – you’re gonna tell me I’m supposed to pray for God to give him a good lunch tomorrow while he’s in Phoenix, Arizona. > > Nope. I’m not gonna pray for his good. **I’m going to pray that he dies and goes to hell. When I go to bed tonight, that’s what I’m going to pray. And you say, ‘Are you just saying that?’ No. When I go to bed tonight, Steven L. Anderson is going to pray for Barack Obama to die and go to hell.** > > You say, ‘Why would you do that?’ That our country could be saved. My bold. All well and good, right? I mean, this is just the kind of stuff you hear in UU churches all the time. The kind of talk that gets bandied about in Ethical Culture meetings all over this great land. So, anyway, there was a fairly new member in Pastor Steve’s church that Sunday. A young man with a dream. A dream, an AR15, and a handgun. That young man’s name was Chris Broughton. And he brought his dream and his righteous firepower to the town hall debate where the president was appearing just a couple of days after that sermon. Man, even that “God Damn America” guy didn’t actually go full out and wish actual, literal death on anybody. ---

**Furt** , you’re full of shit. You weren’t just casually mentioning a movie that depicted Bush’s fictional death, you were equating it with all the batshit crazy stuff your side yanks out of it’s collective asses.
