People didn't often insult Bush b/c he was white; they focused more on his idiocy and poor decisions as Governor and President.

Bush certainly got his share of insults, much of which was deserved. This is something different, though, I think.

No. No, not at all.

You want to guess again?

How is it different, because you say that Bush deserved it and Obama doesn't? Bush received every possible insult, including allegations that he orchestrated 9/11 and discussions of assassinating him. Now the liberals wine because somebody says something that isn't nice about Obama? What a laugh.

@Brandon9000,

It's not the insults I'm talking about, Brandon. Certainly there are wackos of every political persuasion, and I think most of the insults directed at Obama are just part of the job and not worth delving into. This kind of thing feels different to me.

Can you think about what kind of people might be concerned about attacks on "the white culture"? Combine that with the birther movement (which has gained some champions in the House). Perhaps I'm reading too much into it or it looks bigger than it is. I certainly hope that's the case.

Every possible kind of insult and bizarre accusation was hurled at Bush up to the point of forging documents for his military career and accusing him of attacking the US with airplane bombs. To say that this is somehow beyond the limits is nothing less than hysterically funny.

By major tv and radio personalities? In his first year of the presidency (before he waged an unnecessary and expensive war)?

Am I saying this is beyond the limits? Hmmm, more like it plays to danger.

To me, that is the more telling piece. What exactly is "the white culture"? That sounds to me like a very specific dog whistle is being used. Any ideas?

I dunno ... I'll watch the White Channel on TV tonight and see if it's discussed.

Its very different because, if you will recall, most of the left wingers defended Bush and the conspiracy that he was behind 9/11. On A2K, there were a few wacko conspiracy types who were stepped on by lefties and righties alike. Youre argument attempt is a fallacy. If one of the A2K crowd was touting Bushs role in 9/11, thats eqaully as ridiculous as Becks attempted myth.

As far as Becks "mental state" he has been hospitalized at least twice while he was on radio and shortly after his CNN days began, These hopsital stays were ostensibly for mental exhaustion (HINT , mental exhaustion= meltdown).

I'm reminded of an Eddie Murphy skit on SNL a very long time ago.

No, but that's an easy mistake to make ... Speed.

That skit was a hoot, especially when he would look out at the audience with this look of shock on his face, and his mouth in a big round "O" . . .

@Ticomaya,

depending on your cable provider the white channel is usually between CNN/FOX NEWS and MSNBC just before Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and after Animal Planet. Martha Stewart often guest hosts.
