Remind me again, Proponents of which party/ political movement made a film entitled, The Assasination of Georger Bush"?
Also, did not our current Secretary of State say that political opposition was "the highest form of patriotism"?
You can't have it both ways. If opposition is good when one party is in power, it must be allowed when the other party is in power.
Protecting that pesky freedom of speech mean that you must protect the speech that you most hate. Anything less is simply tyranny.

If you can't make it in politics, make a TV show and write a book.

When has it begun? Fox Noise isn't conservative.

Fear based media attention usually ends when "the dragon" or "the wolf" doesn't show up

I don't know who those clowns were. Very ill advised. It was roundly ignored by the libtard media.

Show me anything in lefty media that was as disgusting as Beck pouring water from a gas can on some guy and then holding up matches. Really disgusting imagery and he was tying such behavior to Obama, "don't set us on fire, mr. president:

I'll be quieter when President Bonehead gets out of office or when Congressional Dem Boneheads get voted out of office prior to the bankruptcy of our country. I've heard so much hatred regarding George Bush over the past eight years, but yet the libs can't seem to take any criticism or hatred of Obama. As long as the ends are "justified", then all is okay with you guys.

Tit for tat. Goose for gander. Deal with it.

Jim,
I have posted that exact quote in this forum for years.

As for the ACLU, if that was ALL they stood for, I probably be more of a supporter, but they seem to pick and chose based on political ideology rather than simple freedom of speech.

Oh poor thing. Little dubbers got some dung flung his way. After it became clear that he was an arrogant, vacation taking, golf playing ignoramus. At least Obama tries for bi-partisanship. Bush and his Rr majority gave the dems the finger.

What you saw as hatred was accurate criticism. Worst president in history.

You don't read the news much, do you? Obama is this x10. Come out of your hole and catch up with the real world.

How can you post that without laughing hysterically?

Criticism of Bush is "accurate" while criticism of Obama is "hatred". Maybe you should go back to your hole.

Did you catch this?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1223229/Obama-swings-play-golf-Bush.html

While his predecessor in the White House had a reputation as a golfing playboy, Barack Obama has cultivated a somewhat more serious, down-to-business image.

So it may be a surprise to learn that in his ten months as U.S. President, Mr Obama has already played as much golf as George W Bush did in his entire eight years in power.

A U.S. TV journalist who keeps a log of the President’s recreational travel reported that Mr Obama’s game at the weekend was his 24th since taking office in January.

Bush didn't play much golf- keeping score was too difficult. But it took Bush a liitle over 2 years to play the 11 games that Obama has played, not 8 years.
Bush did take a lot of vacation. Almost 500 days of it at his ranch in Texas and almost as many days at Camp David. Many of us think Bush spent his entire presidency on vacation or out to lunch.
