It WAS political for that reason ! And very one sided, thus while I understand your sentiment, I totally and completely dismiss your very very bias presentation which just opens the doors for more of the same silly names, the same calling of racists.

Bucco, where have I inimated that those who oppose his policies are the only problem? I even said I would likely not vote for him, so I guess I would be included among those who oppose his policies. I was not aiming at ONLY one group of people, unless you are identifying the group that is dangerously inflammatory. There are plenty of republicans and right wing spokespeople who oppose this president but are able to deal with the issues and argue respectively. I remember when I was very young, President Eisenhower was giving a speech on TV, and I said something that could have been construed as derogatory, but was not addressing it at the President. My mother overheard me and admonished me for not showing the proper respect for the President. That left a deep impression on me as I knew she was a Roosevelt democrat and had not voted for the man, but she still insisted that I show the proper respect. That was a lessen learned more than 50 years ago that has stayed with me. I can tolerate Bush being called shrub and other such silliness, though I personally would not do that, what I am concerned with is the volatile level of hatred directed at this president that is not healthy for the country, and makes me fear for his safety.
