I have defended Bush previously on different issues, including comments about his lack of ntelligence, inability to speak off the cuff and getting ill in public. I didn't, and still don't, think something that is pretty accurate needs defending even if I find it personally repugnant. There have been many derogatory comments made about Obama here. I have not said they should not be made if they are based on fact and I have only called someone a name (a bigot) because of the non-stop posts about Obama being a Muslim and lumping all Muslims with the extremists.

I have not said that using Obama's full name is an issue. I have said that using only part of his name (middle and last, just middle) or putting first and last in initial caps and middle in all caps is wrong. I have said that using Obama's full name is a reminder that his father was a Muslim is wrong. If you consistently use people's full names, great. That becomes a non-issue.

I said nothing about the threads about what Democrats and Republicans believe. I didn't say anything the first two times what liberals believe was posted. I finally had had enough the third time. I didn't like any of them and didn't find any of them amusing. I don't like stereotypes. Period.

I rarely say anything the first time someone says something. No reason to. It is when something is repeated over and over that I will and do speak up and it is regardless of who is saying it or what the subject is. Disrespect is disrespect. I feel that once or even twice can be a slip or just emotions talking. If I see it said repeatedly, then I know it is deliberate and I will speak up. I've spoken up more for Obama for the simple reason that there have been more attacks against him and too many were based on non-issues. Check my posts.

If all of that means I have one set of rules for Obama supporters and another set for those who don't, so be it.
