The double standard is the leftists think its fine to criticize the President for saying in private he believes he's been called by God to be President (and I discussed the differences in my view between Bush and Sheehan on this subject in my last post to you)
Hafta go to work, so this is the only bit I can deal with now.
I do hope, at some stage, Tico will stop "channeling" me - cos he does it SO inaccurately.
Show me exactly where I said you shouldn't raise that?
What I AM doing is pointing out a tu quoque - that is, you cannot both slime Cindy for allegedly, (but seemingly this is quite inaccurate anyway?) claiming to channel her son, and at the same time have no concern about a president who believe god calls him to kill thousands. You are caught in a logical inconsistency.
They are both claiming some sort of added authority from imaginary friends.
Both imaginary friends are unsusceptible to rational examination or falsifiability.
You like one of them, not the other.
So?
My dwarfy tells me that Bush's god did NOT tell Bush to be president, or that he would be on Bush's side in killing thousands of Iraqis. Actually, my dwarfy tells me that Bush imagines his god. My dwarfy also tells me that the god that Bush erroneously believes tells him stuff (whether in a still small voice, or a raging bellow) said not to kill, and something about turning other cheeks, and not casting first stones. My dwarfy says that, if Bush's god did exist, he would be quite upset about all these folk claiming he is on their side as they disobey his core commandments - in fact, Dwarfy says, this god, did he exist, would be thinking of leaving the universe. cos all these zealots - Muslims, Jews, Christians, are killing each other in his name. He would be quite disgusted if he existed, Dwarfy says. He would, according to Dwarfy - like all the nuts to leave him out of their killing. Go render unto Ceasar, he says - and stop perverting my word - I gave you free will, so take responsibility for yourselves, don't whine to me about helping ANY of you with your slaughters.
So - now we have three imaginary friends, all saying different things.
You can't slime Cindy without sliming your president.
(And my Dwarfy. Oh, and Dwarfy says that Bush's imaginary god says, too, that, just cos he's had to cut down on salt, don't think he can't get mad and do stuff again. He says he's considering turning some of the leaders of this madness into pillars of pepper. And, he wishes they'd stop bothering him with asking him to be on their side - he's got sparrows to watch.)
Go ahead and slime if you must - but we will continue to call you on your lack of logic and your hypocrisy.

) because you think you smell blood, that I've lumped you all together as "anti-war, anti-Bush Sheehan supporters." As a group, you're very schizophrenic.
