Personally I find it stunning that they never learn.
Whenever Bush makes a speech, even if he doesn't refer to them, name their names, say anything about them... they jump up and say, "I am NOT they way you describe me to be!!!!!!"
Have you ever noticed?
Like when the President uttered the words in the State of the Union referring to the fact that Iraq had sought uranium in AFRICA? Immediately that weekend Joe Wilson the mint julep queen goes on Andrea Mitchell, and starts talking about how the President was referring to his trip to NIGER. (Last I checked Africa is a wee bit bigger than Niger.)
Yesterday the President makes a comment that could have included most of Western Europe, ALL of Eastern Europe, and God only knows who else across the spectrum. He could have been referring to the Arab nations even neighboring Israel - the nation to whom he was speaking. He NEVER mentioned Barack Obama, The United States, or the Democratic Party... so what do American liberals do?
They blow their lids. Biden, Pelosi, Clinton, Obama, and Obama's nasty-faced campaign staffers ALL run out like spoiled brats screaming at television cameras, "HOW DARE HE TALK ABOUT US THAT WAY?"
They were indignant, insufferable, indiscreet, and very unintelligent in their presentations. Even television liberals - who sometimes (not often) still actually check the text of speeches - had drank the kool-aid, and then tried to say Bush HAD referred to Obama by citing his Press Secretary DENYING that he had referred to Obama. How the heck does that even work?
"Bush referred to Obama..."
"Where in his text did he refer to Obama?"
"No where he just was..."
"Sorry but the language of his speech doesn't refer to any person specifically..."
"Yeah but he was referring to Obama."
"No I don't believe he referred to anyone specifically."
"SEE YOU JUST DENIED IT - that PROVES he was referring to Obama..."
Then you add to that the Pelosi presser, the Clinton presser, and the nasty-face Obama campaign staffers all out there snarling - telling everyone how "beneath the dignity of the office" it was for Bush to attack Obama - on foreign soil. (To which he did not...)
And the foreign soil thing comes up... See - when the Dixie Chicks stand on stage somewhere and they actually NAME the President, and the United States, and actually, specifically refer to our foreign policy as being an embarrassment - that is the textbook definition of being unpatriotic. Now they all wanna say Bush did the same thing, but with no references to the United States, Barack Obama, the US' foreign policy - or anything even remotely resembling an attack on another U.S. Citizen, elected official, or even candidate.
Can SOMEONE PLEASE explain to me what the heck the liberals' problem is?
If you've got John Kerry, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Obama's nasty-face campaign staffers all out there gettin' all uppity about President Bush saying something - HE NEVER SAID - doesn't that bode poorly for their potential to handle an actual crisis someday?
I was on the road between DC and NYC last night listening to the debate on many of the news outlets... Mark Steyn actually said it best on Hannity and Colmes - but I have not yet been able to find the footage. But a close second had to be Newt's opening round with kool-aid drinker Alan Colmes... watch and learn people. Watch and learn... liberals are just thick-headed less than genius types and running circles around them gets really easy - when they make such bone-headed blunders...
