Liberal hypocrisy running rampant

The supposed cries of racism and advocating violence toward McCain supporters at recent rallies reeks of hypocrisy.

At any peace rally or other liberal event, George W. Bush is hung in effigy at a minimum, and the calls for his assassination are usually not too far behind. Some knowledgeable people have said that all that has kept Bush from being knocked off is that Dick Cheney would become President.

Just because some Americans have the temerity to oppose Obama doesn't make them racists. Just because some even take on the liberal press and expose its well-known bias, doesn't make them hicks and thugs.

The Hate Bush movement has been operating and hailed ever since he defeated Al Gore in Florida in 2000. They have since become even more vituperative and outraged since Bush was re-elected in 2004. That he was able to get two relatively young, solid conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices confirmed--the high water mark of his administration--makes them even more livid.

That's why Obama tries so hard to tie Bush to McCain. He thinks there's political capital to be raised there.

This is a ludicrous comparison, because McCain ran against Bush in 2000, and has opposed many of his major initiatives, including the tax cuts, in the Senate. To the chagrin of many conservatives, McCain is not a carbon copy of Bush.

McCain is not dead yet, the election is still 30 days away. The liberal media is in the tank for Obama and trying its best to destroy McCain, but they may well be overdoing it, and the backlash will benefit the GOP ticket.
