    Im not missing anything. You however, are hijacking the thread. If all the left criticized Bush for was Iraq, it wouldnt be so ridiculous. But some of the things I've seen blamed on Bush in the last few years are hilarious. This is a "criticize vs. Bash" thread.


    bash (bsh) Pronunciation Key
    v. bashed, bash·ing, bash·es
    v. tr.
    To strike with a heavy, crushing blow: The thug bashed the hood of the car with a sledgehammer.
    To beat or assault severely:
    To engage in harsh, accusatory, threatening criticism.



    VS.

    crit‧i‧cize  /ˈkrɪtəˌsaɪz/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[krit-uh-sahyz] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, -cized, -ciz‧ing.

    –verb (used with object) 1. to censure or find fault with.
    2. to judge or discuss the merits and faults of: to criticize three novels in one review.
    –verb (used without object) 3. to find fault; judge unfavorably or harshly.
    4. to make judgments as to merits and faults.

    I see by definition "bashing" includes the word "criticism" ...albeit harsh criticism ...as for the other parts of the definition of bashing, I've yet to see anyone hit bush in any way or form...

    In reading the definition of criticize, it too includes the word "harsh"...I wonder if those who support bush are upset by the harshness of the critisim toward him....

    honestly, though, I suspect the real reason the term is used is as a diversion from the main point of critisims leveed against him..it tends to put those speaking out on the defensive rather than addressing a real response...

    anyhoo...it was something I was thinking about, and wanted to get some perspective...

    a final point...I have to respect those who continue to support bush and his policies...it's got to be hard...the list ef? put up was pretty extensive...and sad, in my opinion...

    well, you decided to lay the blame for bin laden on clinton. im just saying bush is doing no better. clinton tried, i dont think you can fault him for not being able to pull off something that nobody has been able to pull off.


    I didnt decide to blame him. He is to blame. Not 100%, but if you refuse to give him any blame, you're more biased than Ann Coulter.

    And I had no intentions of naming names, I was asked to give an example of a problem handed to GW by past presidents. So I did.

    And if you can't fault Clinton, "for not being able to pull off something that nobody has been able to pull off", the HOW the FUCK can you blame GW???Explain please?

    Clinton critique = a no no
    Bush BASHING = free for all

    I call bullshit.

    Clinton fucked up and admits it.

    Bush fucks up and claims no faults.

    Bush is a bag licker. Fuck him.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    Do u not think it would be more logical if we focused all our effort on the real threat el queda, as opposed to the supposed threat (Iraq)?


    110% yes, yes, yes,. I just dont find it productive to say FUCK BUSH FUCK BUSH THAT MOTHERFUCKER. Iraq was a mistake. we went in with false information, stayed because our enemy followed us there (and we pretty much defeated them), now we are staying longer to clean up the mess we left. i.e the secratrian voilence.

    Im ready to get out of iraq and go back to afgahistan with a full force and even give pakistan a scare until we catch or kill osama and his number 2 man. then maybe we can bring everyone home, elect a new president, and find new things to bitch about.

    Sheer laziness. I picked the easiest part. It's Friday.

    Ok, ok, I'll move on ....


    Every president is handed things by his predecessor, some good and some bad. Six years down the road, you can't blame your predecessor any more. You've had six years to fix what needed fixing, these things are now YOUR problems. Criticizing a president over inherited problems after 6 months in office is ridiculous ... after 6 years, it's perfectly legitimate.


    I refer you to the original topic, the difference (which there apparenlty isn't one to some here) between bashing and criticizm. Enjoy your friday. :p
