Why aren't Hannity and his lot standing behind a wartime president?

[Toucano]

His opening tirade today on his Fox show was REMARKABLE!

Sorry, I was too stunned to transcribe any of it. Who else saw it?

So much for their patriotism and supporting the commander and chief during a war, which IIRC was a paramount measure of true patriotism from roughly 2003 until this past January.

Don't they support the troops anymore?

1. Maybe for the same reason I didn't support Bush.

[DCKit]

4. Emily, sweetie, you had good and decent reasons for opposing BushCo*

They've got nothing, least of all goodness and decency.

2. Bush is now persona non grata....shunned by the Party he used and abused

He is fucked

His crew is fucked....they all look like idiots...and evil too....Lied Cheated and stole from the American people

[Occam Bandage]

3. Because they are hypocritical. nt

[pinto]

5. 1.Patriotism is politics, not policy to them. 2. Obama's not a live action! commando cartoon prez.

and 3. They couldn't see nuance if it knocked on their front door.

[Norquist Nemesis]

6. Hannity and his ilk a fundamentally, rabidly anti-Democratic

both in "principle" and in party.

7. Obama is a "peacetime" President. Haven't you heard?

"The stimulous bill is the largest amount of peacetime spending in history." is one you hear a lot from the right. "We won the Iraq War" is another. Chimp was a wartime President but it all ended when he left office.

[orleans]

8. because it was never really about supporting a "wartime pResident"

or supporting the troops

it was a fucking game

like football

and they were out to crush the opposition so they could stay on top. that was really what all their fucking blustering was about.

they are assholic monsters.

on edit: see some of swamprat's work--it definitely shows what i mean when i say "monsters"
