Post #223,862 by bepatient 9/9/05 10:30:00 AM Reply	Not so fast fella What started this was "someone" saying that this President has gotten a free pass compared to Clinton. (aka there was a new doublestandard) That statement was BS and I am simply pointing that statement out as BS. But because I don't fall quickly into line with the party line here, the kneejerk (I don't think we ever invented that kneejerk emoticon, did we?) reaction is that this equates to a defense of Bush. Wrong keejerk reaction. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

Post #224,060 by Simon_Jester 9/10/05 12:14:00 AM Reply	Wait a minute... What started this was "someone" saying that this President has gotten a free pass compared to Clinton. (aka there was a new doublestandard) That statement was BS and I am simply pointing that statement out as BS. I'm the guy who make the comparison and you haven't done/pointed out diddly. Comparison to Hitler are nice, but I can point out Rush's "America held hostage" and Communist Clinton references all day long. Neither or which addresses the issue that I brought up. Feel free to point out a single conservative host that has blasted Bush for stopping life-saving operations so he could tour the area.

Post #224,116 by bepatient 9/10/05 12:42:43 PM Reply	Actually you have to translate Ashtonese to get the "doublestandard" point. And the point was that general media was giving the free pass, not "conservative hosts"...who you should damn well know up front are gonna bias in favor of a Repo leader. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
