You hit the nail right on the head with "It made them feel important" Like the young college freshman who made the news falsely claiming the FBI had come to his dorm room to question him because he checked out Mao's red book from the local library these losers need to feel they are inportant enough to warrant the attention of some unnamed secret gov't agency, or maybe the Pres himself. And on a more practical note in some cases it helps get 'em l**d.

You've underestimated the ability of these morons to spin conspiracy fables out of nothing.

Me thinks they'll be be in high gear pushing congress for hearings into Bush administration activities hoping to bring Bushitlerwarforoil to justice for crimes against nature, blah, blah, blah.

"How are these people going to handle that??"

Poorly. Heck, they didn't cover themselves in glory attacking the President during his Presidency, much of what they did provided support for the terrorists.

On day listening to the radio I heard Tammy Bruce, former NOW chapter president, relating the event that turned her away from the left wing. She was talking to some leftist friends and one of them stated with glee that he had a bottle of champagne chilling, ready to uncork when Ronald Reagan died. It was at that moment that she realized that she did not belong in that group. There are wonderful Democrats in the US, and there are the troofers, moonbats, socialists, communists and cop killers. The Big Tent is moth eaten and torn.

OR, they'll sit around, soaking in their nostalgia, wishing for the good 'ole days when they had a reason to feel important.

OR, they'll get to experience reality when terrorists discover America has lost it's mind and elected a leftist extremist as president. You know, kind of like how the reality of $4 plus gas has shocked some liberals out of their no drill, no nuke, carbon credit delusions. Will Obama still opposes drilling when gas hits $5 a gallon before election day? We can only hope he's that stupid.

You gotta look on the bright side, Cassy. Your Obama Derangement Syndrome is already fully manifested so when he takes office you can hit the ground running. Anyways, we'll totally be at war with Iran by then, so the eeeevil left will have plenty to protest.

And considering that Clinton Derangement Syndrome is still going strong 8 years after he left office I'm sure it'll take a while for the libruls to let go of Chimpy McHitler. Totally. Anyways, it'll take Obama a while to totally destroy the nation, so you'll have time to go back and finish the 8th grade.

Not much concern on this end. I suspect they'll continue the tantrums while the adults go about administering the country.

Having been unsuccessful for nearly 8 years to topple Bush, it's not likely that he's going to be affected in civilian life.

A better question might have been: Will Jon Stewart and Bill Maher be out work if Obama wins? Will they turn on the Dems if they control the White House and both houses of congress?

They'll either keep protesting about nothing the way they have been for the past eight years, claiming that McCain's presidency is really just a shadow presidency and that Bush is still in charge.

They will still say that Dick Cheney is in charge. The BDS crowd have believed that Bush was too stupid to do anything without the guidance of Dick Cheney. They will also say that Dick Cheney--him and Karl Rove-- will be driving the McCain presidency too.

"The "GITMO = TORTURE!!!" meme is old and tired. I think I've stayed in motels crappier than Gitmo."

Really...you got waterboard service and free starvation?

It bothers me that Amnesty International now sucks so badly -- they used to do good work. Now they aim their protests against the only people who would ever pay any attention to them, and they ignore the perpetrators of true human rights outrages -- praising them by faint damns, as it were.

I am not advocating this, but I had a sudden mental image of a few dozen mock-jihadists, in appropriate costume and toting AK-47s, crashing this event ... and then suddenly pulling out very real knives and beheading a few of these moral imbeciles to demonstrate what real human-rights abuses are.

Nick Berg would be jealous of Gitmo's conditions. God rest his soul.

Cassy, if you have stayed in motels worse than Gitmo, maybe you should do something about how poor you are. Like, spend less time posting bilious drivel on the intertubes, and more time upgrading your career skills.

Cassy

I have stayed in a motel that was worse than GITMO. It was in a small town (population 5,000) during a hurricane evacuation. The town had a total of two motels with a total of about 36 rooms.

The furnishings and bedding would have been quaint in a family member's small farm house, but was dreary in a rental unit.

Well thank god as a victim of torture McCain plans on shutting down gutananomo (he's not as evil as Bush) of course we can all still hate how Bush basically abused signing statements wiretapped without warrents outed a cia agent ruined the economy got us in an endless war bungled Afghanistan bungled katrina, politcized the justice department turned record surpluses into record deficits ruined our economic future by cutting taxes in time of war and causing major debt to the chinese for funding his stupid war which has created a terroist recruiting wonderland got WMD wrong ruined our reputation in the world

Allowed Korea to increase nuke program significantly, ignored the threat of global warming silenced scientist.

yep that idiot you loved fucked up enough for us and all that are not insane in this country to hate him forever. Luckily for him he has his fellow stupid people. who desipte all that still love him. maybe you can invest in his next company, he has such a good track record with those.

Like, spend less time posting bilious drivel on the intertubes,

Like, the irony is astounding.

all that are not insane in this country to hate him forever.

Hey bud, not to make you more paranoid that you are, but they guy in the top bunk is staring at you.

rethug,

Too bad your rant has little basis in reality.

If I had my wish, all those pictured and some of the posters here would be immediately turned over to the Taliban, or maybe their friends in Darfur for interrogation. I'll bet anything given the choice they would prefer waterboarding. I simply hate traitors. Those pictured need a drive by.

I vote we capture, interrogate and then kill the fuckers. Then 'no problem'. But I guess that's not "PC".

Same shitheads tell cops "you can reason with a drunk".

Too bad your rant has little basis in reality.

But, the fact that he could hit all the conspiracies without taking a breath was impressive. It's like he can spew all that without even thinking. Oh wait...

Actually, Clay, it looked more like cutting and pasting, considering the lack of proper punctuation and capitalization.

considering the lack of proper punctuation and capitalization.

I don't think they'll cover that until 1st grade. So, I wouldn't expect better results from him until next year.

They will require some intensive Mental Health care and that won't work. BDS is incurable. Thousands will comitt suicide (someone make them some Jim Jones Koolaide) and the rest will be locked away.

I'm tired of this GITMO=TORTURE shit. You want these scum out of Gitmo? Fine, put them in the Florence ADMAX. 23 hours a day in a very small cell, with almost nothing but yourself, a concrete molded bed, no contact with other prisoners, and one hour supervised excercise. They'll be begging to go back to the Cuban sun.

Really...you got waterboard service and free starvation?

You know, you are a fucking idiot, jp, has anyone told you this lately?

I'd take Gitmo anyday over being a resident of Waco with Janet Reno in charge.

And, by Waco, I mean the Branch Davidian complex. Horrible things happen there? There were certainly serious allegations made that should have been checked out.

Had they gotten a trial we would have descovered if the allegations were true or not.

Ohio.. Wasn't reno in charge during Ruby Ridge too?

jp, has anyone told you this lately?

I doubt that he's a stranger to the term.

"The "GITMO = TORTURE!!!" meme is old and tired."- cassy

The service of Gitmo(and elsewhere in the GWOT Gulag) as a state-sanctioned torture chamber at the behest of a neoconservative cabal in the White House, and in reversal of 800 years of Anglo-Saxon consensus against such, will be the subject of historians (and polemicists) for decades to come. 2012-2108 is when the scholar-reporters can be expected to begin turning in their work. The more inclusive outlines and surveys might run into many volumes, like Gibbon's Decline and Fall Of the Roman Empire, considering the modern requirement for copious footnotes.

Bush: the Elagabalus who stayed too long thanks to the stability of US laws of which he himself is so dismissive.

bryanD,

If Bush were really 'so dismissive' of US laws, you and most of your ilk would be, let's put this delicately, disappeared.

Yeah, Sheik, he would round up the 70% of the population that doesn't like him or approve of his job performance and toss them all out of helicopters, a la Pinochet.

I wonder what is the percentage of Americans who feel pity for their President right now. Probably more than approve of him, anyway.

Ohio.. Wasn't reno in charge during Ruby Ridge too?

Actually, I think that episode was during George H.W. Bush's presidency.

And actually, Chile could have had it a lot worse than Pinochet.

Like Allende, for instance.

I wonder what is the percentage of Americans who feel pity for their President right now. Probably more than approve of him, anyway.

I haven't a clue how many pity him (but not many I wouls guess...he's either admired/respected or hated), but if the election were held today I think Bush would win by margins greater than he did when he defeated Kerry. His campaign would be simple: national security and taxes. Bush is far more popular with the base than McCain.
