MM, is there a post here at VN that you think has sufficient GOP partisan hackery to meet the bar set by RS? That, I think is the difference, and perhaps exemplifies the reasons for some of the recent complaints regarding VN from those otherwise inclined to support its mission.

More deflection … DailyKos was singled out due to the slant of the comment. Had it been slanted the other direction I would have pointed to RedState.

I really love the way people single out DailyKos, but not NRO or Red State…in fact, we once had a contribtor here who was associated with Red State which is up there with Kos in partisan hackery.

Cheney/Bush had the backing of close to a majority of Americans.
Those Americans very much liked getting into this War as a retribution for 9/11.
Yes call them Warmongers – frankly they got exactly what they lusted for and ended up more than matching the toll of civilian death from 9/11 with killed american soldiers.
Give me a break – lot’s of blame to go around beyond ‘Cheney’- and as cynical as the guy is he represents exactly the nature of a good many ‘fine american folks’.
By the way Bush is 100% in this – silly actually to bring up Dr. Kervorkian in this context. Call it what it is – stop the silly childish games – Plenty of average people did know and could know that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 – this was pointed out over and over again late in 2002/ early 2003 – they really wanted that War – they got it – we all pay the price. The oil companies that had Bush /Cheney on payroll well before they took office laugh of course all the way to the bank.
And yes plenty of ‘good catholics’ will again vote for the heir apparent to those oily “warriers” – including our talented Mr. Naus who all of a sudden decided that catholic inconveniences and grievances amounted to much of a cross to bear.
Psst Gerald most of us do take the churches advice on the matters you mentioned with a grain of salt. And yes most religions on this planet are actually very much alligned with what our church sets as the ideal gold standard.

The typo confirms the partisan nature of the post – save it for DailyKos!

I hope you don’t mind I corrected the typo for you (since it appears it was one, now). If you want it back to how it was, feel free to change it back.

Well, if “Actually so” is supposed to be “Actually no”, then that’s a big typo that should be fixed….

Then my reading of the post was a bit off, since I thought it was saying both parties were having reprehensible people speaking at their conventions.

I worry that there are people who actually think this (Cheney = Dr. Kevorkian).

I worry more about people who actually think that killing elderly American people is worse than killing people from another country.

This is getting pretty bad.

C’mon guys. This is Ann Coulter-level of intellectual achievement. Cheney is not my favorite either but for pete’s sake. I worry that there are people who actually think this (Cheney = Dr. Kevorkian). Then again there are probably an equal number of people who actually think Obama=AntiChrist.
