Idiot of the day: Dr. Sanity

Idiot of the DayBy VictorM:

Boy, talk about an inappropriately named blog... anyway, Dr. Sanity and his blog covering a make-believe world of hate and stupidity, has this idiotic post:
The Democrats--and in particular, their leftist base--are more concerned with their hatred of George Bush and they will never, ever admit that any policy promoted by him and his administration could possibly be working. Instead, they have all hitched their political wagon to a precipitously falling star and remain, even now, heavily emotionally invested in failure in Iraq.
Dr. Sanity, you would hate George Bush's policies too if only you loved America instead of being enamored with an abusive, authoritarian, and narrow-minded regime. If anyone has hitched themselves to failure it has been you by defending a president whose first success is still "around the corner" and will "work in the next six months", as has been promised for years. And the heavily emotional investment I feel about Iraq is because I hate to see our great nation become a bully involved in a criminal and bloody occupation of choice where success is not a possibility; we can leave or we can stay, but we can't win!

There's that word again. It's what radical-right wingers typically try to pin on anyone who disagrees with them and theirs. They've been doing it for years. If they can tag you as a hater, who cares what you agree with or oppose, or what you think about anything? Who wants to heed a hater?

IOW this is their way of trying to marginalize everyone not in step with them.

In fact, what most people on the left have felt for Bush all along is abiding disgust. They are now joined by a large majority of the public, including loads of middle roaders and even some on the right.

Most of them know hating Bush as a person means nothing and accomplishes nothing; it's what he says and does.

As far as the blogger you quoted, I have to wonder about anyone who feels a need to bill himself to strangers on the Net as being sane.

Best of the season to you, Vic, and a happy and prosperous new year.
 
I could almost work up a little hatred for Blogger/Google and its changing the login setup. That was my post above:

S.W. Anderson (in case I guess wrong again.)
 
Thanks SW, and have a great new year.

Right wingers are quick to place these labels. That's because they're all or nothing kind people. If you don't LOVE Bush, you HATE him.
