It appears that when a political party falls from power, has no leadership and can’t admit to themselves and take blame for the havoc they caused while in power, they go a little crazy. This is from the thoroughly conservative David Horowitz.

I have been watching an interesting phenomenon on the Right, which is beginning to cause me concern. I am referring to the over-the-top hysteria in response to the first months in office of our new president, which distinctly reminds me of the “Bush Is Hitler” crowd on the Left.

Speaking of this crowd, have you seen any “I am so sorry” postings from that quarter as Obama continues and even escalates the former president’s war policy in Afghanistan and attempts to consolidate his military occupation of Iraq?

Conservatives, please. Let’s not duplicate the manias of the Left as we figure out how to deal with Mr. Obama. He is not exactly the anti-Christ, although a disturbing number of people on the Right are convinced he is.

I have recently received commentaries that claim that “Obama’s speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history” and “never has a politician in this land had such a quasi-religious impact on so many people” and “Obama is a narcissist,” which leads the author to then compare Obama to David Koresh, Charles Manson, Stalin and Saddam Hussein. Excuse me while I blow my nose.

This fellow has failed to notice that all politicians are narcissists – and that a recent American president was a world-class exponent of the imperial me. So what? Political egos are one of the reasons the Founders put checks and balances on executive power. As for serial lying, is there a politician that cannot be accused of that? And once, the same recent president set a pretty a high bar in this category, and we survived it. As for Obama’s speeches, they are hardly in the Huey Long, Louie Farrakhan, Fidel Castro vein. They are in fact eloquently and cleverly centrist and sober.

    Yes, Guyver, I get it… even McCain was too liberal for you. So that puts you in the far-right wing of an already right-wing party. One of your spiritual brethren killed three policemen with an AK-47 the other day.

  2. Guyver says:

    98, Like I said, you’ve got a limited understanding of the political spectrum. I’m not religious nor do I like Bible-thumpers / Koran-thumpers shoving their religion down my throat.

  3. Phydeau says:

    I only see what you write, Guyver, not any political nuances that may or may not exist in your mind. And your writings are indistinguishable from the garden variety sore-loser Republicans who bash Obama on anything and everything they can. So be aware of how you are coming across.

    #97, Guyver,

    I was hoping you’d address why the Democrats denied there was a problem with Freddie and Fannie back in 2003 when Bush tried to fix both organizations.

    Sure. What problem? Are you referring to the problem of where Bush wanted to move the oversight into the Department of Treasury so Congress could even question the CEOs? Ar you referring to how Bush wanted to dump more toxic paper into the FMs?

    Gee, such blanket statements but no specifics. Why don’t you just start telling us how you quit beating your wife?

    Your dodging the NTY articles which amazingly puts Bush in a good light against your comments is all the proof I need that objectivity is not your motive.

    My dodging the NYTimes articles? Are you still addicted to masturbating?
