Obama generates cheers, boos at Duncanville rally

xdavidwattsx, says:

I'm curious as to why Bush AND Cheney feel the need to move to Dallas. One of them is bad enough.

Billusa99, says:

xdwx... Bssh follows Cheney for the same reason Charlie McCarthy never went anywhere without Edgar Bergen.

Taking cheap shots at Bush is easy and unintelligent.

xdavidwattsx, says:

It's easy but I don't know about unintelligent.

"Taking cheap shots at Bush is easy and unintelligent."

You forgot "therapeutic."

bobdon000, says:

and childish

pnewsgal, says:

...and protected by the First Amendment...for the time being...

bobdon000, says:

and boring

CastleHills, says:

Of course no one on the right ever takes cheap shots at the Clintons.

nooooooooo, never.

bobdon000, says:

It's not about right vs. left, it is about civil discourse.

luniz, says:

which in case you hadn't noticed, isn't really something that applies to discussing politicians.

bobdon000, says:

If you want to change things it has to start somewhere.

I am only taking a cue from B. Obama who (it seems) wants to take the high road.

luniz, says:

I don't think any of us feel any need to take a particularly high road with regard to Mr. Bush, whom many of us regard as emblematic of the worst kind of people in charge of the most powerful institutions affecting our daily lives. Perhaps if he had dealt with the American people honestly from the beginning he'd be treated better; instead he's squandered any goodwill or benefit of the doubt that most evil, baby hating, secular humanists would be willing to extend.

bobdon000, says:

Does that (diatribe) make you feel better?

luniz, says:

just trying a little civil discourse...I guess you're willing to criticize others for not engaging, but not willing to engage yourself. typical republican...

bobdon000, says:

First I am Libertarian, not Republican. Second I am very willing to engage on issues and policy, but not argumentum ad hominem.

Billusa99, says:

"Fool!," bobdon000. "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is this: 'Never go in against an Avatar when wit is on the line.'"

bobdon000, says:

Rawlie: A little history lesson is due you.

It was 2000 (for the 2001 elections) not 2006, when the word "gravitas" became over-used.

Mostly by media types to describe George Bush, although the Republican party used it frequently to ascribe the foreign policy experience of Dick Cheney.
