Annals of the Pot and the Kettle

Just to be clear, though: Liberals outraged that GOPsters are calling Obama a fascist should for real check themselves.

Yeah, cause MSNBC was all "facist this" and "facist that" whereas Fox News has straight up told the crazy right wing not to do that kind of bullshit, and not, like, given them million dollar contracts.

Olbermann called Bush a "liar" several times during his broadcast.

He also called Bush a 'fascist.'

I think it's more that the conservatives are just now making these protests, but they slobbered all over G-Dub when he was around. Anger doesn't seem to be the word, so much as bemused disdain for these fair-weather Niemollers.

The title of this blog post could become a whole new blog in itself.

For someone less lazy than me to run it.

Right.... because Obama really does want to instill a "totalitarian philosophy of government that glorifies state and nation and assigns to the state control over every aspect of national life." (That's from that damned partisan Columbia Encyclopedia, 5th ed.)

Not like that nice Bush boy with his "small government," and Department of Homeland Security bureaucracy, and anti-gay marriage amendment, and illegal wiretaps of American citizens (with pro-American corporate help!), and torture of furren evil-doers, and anti-Roe v. Wade-tested Supreme Court Justices, and...

Yes, IOZ. Liberals called Bush names. And now conservatives are calling Obama names.

Let's not pretend that there aren't, sometimes, legitimate reasons to call people in power descriptive names, shall we?

Obama IS in fact a very totalitarian fellow who believes in an Executive branch with massive power.

I just wish that the people pointing that out in the media weren't a bunch of god damned loons.
