Blame

17 comments

Brilliant. From The Daily Show:

"Fox &Friends" deems it inappropriate for the Obama administration to mention Bush when talking about the wars, economy or oil spill.

...So everything bad that happened during the Bush administration, was Bill Clinton's fault and now, everything bad during the Obama administration, is Bill Clinton's fault.

Same with Reagan. Everything was Jimmy Carter's fault yet

Reagan made Gov't 4x bigger, created 1/4th as many jobs, immediately went out and committed treason (Iran-Contra) put poitics ahead of our lives and totally destroyed the economy.

Republicans are BAD for America.

Fox: We are at war. You can debate if going to war is the right thing to do, but once the decision is made, you have to support the president. This is America, and our President is the Commander and Chief. Either you support him, or you are with the enemy. This isn’t subject to debate. If you’re not helping the President, you are a traitor…

Fox Control Room: Psst – Bush isn’t the President anymore…

Fox: Oh, riiight!

Fox: President Obama is conducting the war as if he wants to lose. He is doing a disservice to this country. He is a socialist coward that wants nothing more than to give into the terrorists that want to destroy this country!

just leave the GOParty of no responsibility alone.

if everyone would just ignore the fact that everything they touch turns to shit they could get back to doing what they do best: whine.

Republicans / bad for America

Bad for America ? They are absolutely destroying this country , it's being sabotaged from within and no one can do anything about it , at least half the population is so ignorant , gullible and stupid that we are for all practical purposes defenseless . We have been and we are watching this country being attacked and destroyed from within , by a Republican party that has been hijacked by the radical Reich wing , by absolute madmen who are sheer evil , these guys would run Reagan out of the party if he were alive today , they'd consider him a centrist or being on the left .

whats happening now is we are mutating into "Socialism for the Rich".

. . in order to mount the "Last Gasp" effort to transfer any remaining wealth that can be consolidated into the hands of the top 1%.

The worst of the worst in this country ... they've all found a home in the Republican party , any decent person who is sane and has any sense at all rejects them as if taking a sip of a beer with cigarette butts in it . Like Savannah wrote the other night , "it's like a bad dream " , you are trying to wake yourself up but you can't exit this one because it's not a dream , it is reality .

Where did Ingrham get that Axlerod was blaming Bush for anything in Axlerod's appearance on The Daily Show?? Did she read it on her blog? She said "Let me interpret this for you. It's Bush's fault." Then she goes on to say that Axlerod blaming Bush is so weak. AXLEROD DIDN'T BLAME BUSH FOR ANYTHING!!! She made it up and then referenced her made up blame and called Axlerod weak for doing something she made up.
I read on the internet that Ingrahm is gay (Not that there is anything wrong with that).

Let me be perfectly clear here. I have nothing against gay people. I just don't. But I do believe that Fox and Ingrahm probably do not like gay people.

Admitting you're Wrong - The key to Dignified Humility

"So know that you know you have the character flaw addicted to being right, is there anything that you can do about it? There surely is. Let's take an in depth look at some of the strategies for turning a this common flaw into the virtue, humility. Flaws exist because they are a response to a challenge or a trauma that threatens us, not because people are innately bad.

this is not meant to deny that there are bad people out there. There most certainly are. I just don't believe that anyone is hopelessly flawed. A little bit of willingness goes a long way along the path of personal transformation."

Notice any errors in the aforementioned? Grammatically perhaps? Ironic or on purpose? ;)

It's the point that often counts. ♥

clinton is actually the single longest serving president in america history, having completed 4 full terms in office, from 1993 to 2009. FDR died before finishing out his 4th term.

it became clear to me, early on in the bush presidency, that he wasn't actually there, he was merely a phantom, covering for the real president, bill clinton. bush had prior experience in this regard, having gained valuable practice, during his "stint" in the texas air national guard, during vietnam.

Every horrific screw-up that bush caused was blamed by this clown on either (1) Clinton, (2) Carter, or (3) FDR. Wow. Talk about transparent thought processes!

During the Clinton years, as the economy boomed and peace prevailed, the hunky-dory situation was credited by my idiotic friend to....Ronald Reagan! Clinton had nothing to do with it.

So, in the mind of these addled fools, anything perceived as "good" is due to the most recent republican president, and anything considered "bad" is due to one of the Democratic presidents we have had since the 30s.

This is so stupid I'm surprised these people can even speak such idiocy in public. Unless you don't consider Fox "News" to be public, since only right-wing crazies watch it.

People, it's obvious. This kind of extreme conservatism is a form of mental illness, and should be classified and treated as such.

I found one years ago, here it is:

"GOP Goes For Broke Defending Treason"

and I quote,
'the core of Bushevism propaganda is that if you repeat a lie five times, it becomes the truth.'
