Something wicked this way comes!!

I posted the message below as a reply to someone in another thread but I think it deserves a thread of its own.

I live in Philadelphia which is a fairly liberal city. However, lately it does seem as though some Freeper-ish bug is infecting some of the people I know. Lately, I keep finding myself talking to people who say that they hate Bush and want him out of office BUT they try to defend his actions (or rather his non-actions) on Sept.11 or they start bashing Kerry. I just had another one of these encounters last night. This guy I know, who doesn't like Bush, said that he thought Michael Moore was being "unfair" to Bush with that scene in "F9/11" with Bush sitting in the classroom after hearing about the second attack. I had to give this guy a smackdown and tell him that Moore actually took it easy on Bush since he only focused on 7 minutes and not on the rest of the time Bush wasted in the school. Then the guy on the other side of me (I was at a bar, by the way) started talking to me about the election and the first thing he says is, "John Kerry scares me". Keep in mind that these are (supposedly) Democrats. I don't know what's going on. It's getting to be like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" around here.

4. I probably should ask...

...because something has to be contributing to this. I'm having discussions with liberal (or rather "liberal") people that I would expect to be having with a freeper. It's freaking me out a bit.
