I don't have a problem with open criticism, what I have a problem with is the amount of attacks directed towards Bush that's sole intent is to Bash him. Just because you have the freedom to spout tripe does not mean you are free from the repercussions of spouting that tripe. You bash Bush, I label you a Bush basher. The reason for people posting threads like this is to point their finger at President Bush and call him names and to try to push their agenda. I'm calling it what it is. I don't doubt some of the content of the strories but the context in which certain people post the stories are reported here is blatantly Bush Bashing.

I think the problem here is that you're interpreting open criticism for "Bush Bashing." Sure, you can call it whatever you want, but just because people feel the need to question our government doesn't mean there's automatically some "repercussion" that they must endure. We might as easily call you a "Bush Apologist" or a "Bush Defender." Every time you post some nonsense like this in a thread, you're pushing your agenda. Which apparantly is: Criticism of Bush = Bad. If you feel so strongly, why not post a defense of your beloved administration? There's no reason to make it a personal matter just because you happen to disagree ...

CAD, I'm a little unclear as to what your mission here is. Are you taking the role of defender because of your support for our president? Or is it simply that someone is, as you put it, being Bashed?

IOW, would you be such a big defender if a percentage of the AT membership decided to Bash someone not necessarily on your top 10 list?
