Newsweek joins the MSM smear campaign
Consider this piece of partisan garbage masquerading as journalism.
For eight years, the entire case against George W. Bush, according to his partisan critics, has consisted in the allegation that he is a diabolically clever but somehow
stupid mass murderer who looks like a smirking chimpanzee.
Even after fellow national guardsmen came forward to share memories of serving with him at an Alabama air base where he was alleged not to have reported, not only partisan Democrats but media types continued to repeat the discredited lie- even four full years after it was discredited, during the President's re-election campaign. Claims of having stolen Florida and the election in 2000 were routinely made by the very people who actually tried to steal them by disenfranchising military personnel and through their crooked manual recount.
The attacks against Bush and his administration have been so heavily ad hominem and top heavy with outright slander that at many junctures during the past eight years one has had to dig in order to find a reasoned rebuttal to administration policy. Name-calling and wild-eyed, utterly silly accusations, it seems, have come so naturally to the Loyal Opposition that actual, rational criticism has often been in short supply.
And Newsweek has the effrontery to accuse Republicans of habitually using the verytactic which has so overwhelmingly characterized the Democratic response to the current administration for the past eight years?
C'mon, guys. You used to at least masquerade as a news operation.
