So much for due process, huh? Also, since this was all authorized by Congress, I suppose we’ll have to indict, convict and jail them as well.

As far as war crimes, shut up. He hasn’t committed any, and unless you can prove it otherwise, you’re just making yourself look ignorant.

For eight years now, I’ve been looking at the left photoshopping Bush into Hitler and reading how the left wants Bush killed, assassinated, hung, burned, shot, aborted, etc.

I hate those images too – they’re insulting to Hitler. As a member in fairly good standing of The Left, I can tell you that I want none of those things. As an American who loves my country and believes deeply in our founding principles, I just want him indicted, convicted and jailed for war crimes.

Actually, the picture in this post is a fair depiction of how the press used to be treated by Hillary Clinton. If you will recall, she used to get the same type of treatment Obama is now getting; softball questions, fawning reporters, etc. In fact, if she wasn’t given that treatment, she wouldn’t give the interview. Thus, it seemed as though she had emasculated the press.

As for tastelessness, there is more than enough of that on both sides of the aisle. For eight years now, I’ve been looking at the left photoshopping Bush into Hitler and reading how the left wants Bush killed, assassinated, hung, burned, shot, aborted, etc.

Remember, Watergate is the liberal Holy Grail. They gather at partys to watch tapes of the hearings and the DVD of All The President’s Men.

Not quite. When we liberals see “All The President’s Men” these days, we weep at the memory of the last time our Fourth Branch actually functioned properly and at the reminder that the despotism of George W. Bush makes Nixon, by contrast, seem like a Boy Scout.

I realize, Nick, that it is fashionable in rightwing circles to be a tasteless as possible, especially concerning the Clintons, but I often wonder at times – such as when I see things like that last image in your post – if there is ever any bottom level for rightwing tastelessness. There doesn’t appear to be.
