To The RWers OF DU...So Is It OK To Call Him General Betray Us Now?

We told you that guy was no good YEARS ago, but you didn't want to listen, b/c he was Bush's guy.

Now look what you got on your hands.

My, my, my...what a pickle.

But I can't speak for everyone.

I didn't like him when he was in Iraq sort of criticizing the President and never could understand how he got promoted...

It was the Republicans, NeoCON$ and other assorted RWers that were in FULL-ON support of General Betray-us during the Bush Regime.

If you happen to be a LWer that's happens to support the General, so be it, but don't sit there and act as if he wasn't a RW guy.

I will never forget...the failure of the Bush years.

"To The RWers OF DU...So Is It OK To Call Him General Betray Us Now?"

You're referring to a long standing argument on DU about Move On's use of "General Betrayus."

What were you telling us about John Edwards years ago? What does this say about JFK?

The lesson is simple - power attracts narcissistic people of all stripes. There have been brilliant men of every political persuasion who have made the same mistake.

Moreover, although I'm a lefty, I get tired of the bickering amongst ourselves.

Hence I don't end up posting much or sticking around much for long periods of time.

However, I do enjoy it here. In fact I often repost many of the great threads elsewhere.

Speaking of which, I do enjoy engaging with RWers online. I especially like going into their caves and challenging them.

Usually I dwell at places where both righties and lefties debate.

I'll be more than happy to share my many threads over the net via PMs.

That's an expression most used by the right wing. Are you sure you are familiar with DU?

I take all those names that the RWers use as perjoritives and where it with a badge.

I'm a Lefty, meaning someone who leans politically on the left.

I don't see the problem there.

as been pointed out to you, no one uses that kind of language around here and yes I will question the fact that you've not posted for years, but then came up with an egregious question which some find including myself questionable.

who excoriated Moveon.org about the full-page ad they took out wherein they called him General BetrayUs? Called for a condemnation from Congress -- which, of course, was happy to oblige. It's not just the right wing.

They bent over to please the RW for most of those horrid 8 years.

Her doing that was no exception to that rule.

Personally, I loved the ad, and agreed w/it.

I saw it live, (in the paper) as I lived in NYC at the time.

I remember the Bush years well...I lived them.

I will never forget.

The ad should not have been taken down. Hopefully that will never happen again.

In the fact that they aren't willing to call him "General Betray Us?"

That being the case, that's fine.

I'm happy calling him that all by myself.
