During the Bush/Cheney years, people were called them every name in the book and accused them of all manner of evil doing. Remember those years? When Republicans rightly got their back up at this, the Left told us that dissent was the highest form of patriotism and reminded us of the Constitution.
What a difference an election makes. Now that the
Right is saying things about the current administration, well, we're
committing treason. What else to make of this comment from Homeland
Security Advisor John Brennan: "Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda".
One thing we need to remember is that, as far as the Left is concerned, there's no such thing as principled disagreement with or criticism of this administration. It's either racist or politically motivated.
I just read an article by a man who thinks that Obama's agenda was "mired in misinformation". Well, maybe if they had provided some information about what was going on, there wouldn't have been so much "misinformation". The man also said that "the bipartisan ship has sailed". When was it ever in port? Obama and his fellow democrats thought they could do anything they wanted because they had the numbers. Republicans were completely shut out of the process. Despite this fact, this man thinks that Obama is trying hard and it's the mean old Republicans who won't "reward his efforts". That's not even rational.
Finally, there's Robert Gibbs - mouthpiece for a man whose dependence on teleprompters is a national joke - making fun of Sarah Palin for writing a few key words on her palm when she delivered the keynote address at the recent Tea Party Convention.
Here are just a few examples of the Left showing, yet again, that it's okay for them to do what they criticize and ridicule the Right for doing.
