Liberal Chickens
Virtually every left-wing attack on Bush can legitimately be turned against Obama.
By Victor Davis Hanson
It could not last — the attendee of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church sermonizing on tolerance; the practitioner of Chicago politics lecturing on civility; the most partisan voting record in the Senate as proof of a new promised bipartisanship; earlier books and speeches calling for hard-core progressivism as evidence of a no-more-red-state-blue-state conciliation. And in fact the disconnect did not last, and Barack Obama finds himself dealing with assorted chickens coming home to roost.
In the summer of 2004, Michael Moore released a crude propaganda film, Fahrenheit 9/11, full of distortions and half-truths, and yet passed off as a documentary — all designed to help swing the election to Democratic challenger John Kerry. Hollywood, the media, and the Left in general did not worry about the film’s inaccuracies or the mythology that the infomercial was a disinterested documentary. Instead, liberals deified Moore. Indeed, he was an honored guest at the Democratic Convention, and liberal luminaries paid him obeisance at various showings of the film.
The goddess Nemesis took note, and this year Dinesh D’Souza and John Sullivan followed Moore’s model. The result is a blockbuster “documentary,” 2016: Obama’s America, that does more to Barack Obama than Michael Moore once did to George W. Bush. The Left is perturbed, unappreciative that its own methods and objectives have been turned against itself, and in a more sophisticated and far more effective manner than Moore’s buffoonery.

Bush was a GENTLEMAN. That charge will NEVER stick to Obama…

When Beck said the media was destroying itself and people would eventually realize which organizations were committed to the truth, I was skeptical, but it’s happening. Slowly, but surely, it’s happening.

Everybody wants the truth though liberal indoctrination makes it very hard for democrats to recognize what is real and what is not. Their lives are just a Hollywood fantasy. What can you do?
I haven’t seen the 2016 movie yet but I am really looking forward to it. I will bring a southern democrat to the theater with me to use as a gauge so to speak.

Oprah cried, the LSM lied, and the republic died.
No one need ask ever again how the German people could have elected Adolph Hitler as Chancellor in 1933 despite all the warnings, because America did something similar in 2008. The difference being Hitler was able to consolidate his power over the people much quicker than Obama.

Mike,
I shudder to think what could have happened if BO hadn’t been so hungry for corruption and let Hillary soften up the country for 4 years.
These 4 have been bad enough.

Bush was certainly NOT the perfect president and, as a conservative, I had some disagreements with his administration and some of their policies. (ie. illegal immigration) I voted for him twice. There was no way in hell I’d vote for Algore or John “served in Vietnam” Kerry. I do believe that George W. Bush is a thoroughly decent human being, a man of honor, and a patriotic American. He occasionally shows up to ride mountain bikes with my cycling club and I can attest that he is a genuinely nice guy and always takes the time to speak with people and doesn’t mind taking pictures with people. Very cool guy in addition to being one hell of a mountain biker. He’s the real deal on a bike!
