You know, I have been physically assaulted for supporting President Bush.

I have witnessed firsthand anti-Bush protests where left-wing wackos hung effigies of Bush, held signs calling for his assassination, calling Bush a Nazi, etc. etc.

So, when I read idiotic columns like this, by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, I have to take issue with it. He wrote,

I have no problem with any of the substantive criticism of President Obama from the right or left. But something very dangerous is happening. Criticism from the far right has begun tipping over into delegitimation and creating the same kind of climate here that existed in Israel on the eve of the Rabin assassination.

Please. The criticisms of Obama haven’t even come close the vitriol that came from the left-wing nutters who protested Bush like it wast their full time job. Not. Even. Close.

Air America aired skits threaten Bush with assassination. Air America host Randi Rhodes had joked about assassinating Bush. The left was pretty much silent… no outrage at all.

There are plenty of examples of “assassination chic” that seemed to be acceptable to the left back in the Bush years. Yet, today they are making up ridiculous claims that today the political right are creating a climate that hints at a desire for Obama’s assassination? Stupid.

So, why is the left pretending that people who don’t want government run health care are just a bunch of racists who want Obama assassinated?

So, let’s get back to reality here. The left’s attempts to de-legitimize their opposition isn’t going to work.
