liberal hypocrisy

[67gt500]

The liberal media in this country is hypocritical.

They argue political correctness, they argue caring for the less fortunate, they argue proper terminology when referring to the 'handicapped' or the 'mentally retarded' which ties into PC, they argue for just about every victim of a less fortunate circumstance which cannot be helped... yet when it comes to President Bush's dyslexia and speech disabilities they make fun and criticize endlessly. ny times/salon/ all of the serious liberal editorials have bashed him endlessly for his obvious disorder.

Is it acceptable to make fun of others with uncontrollable disabilities so long as they have conservative leanings?

Someone please prove me wrong here I would hate to think that I am right about this.

Attacking and ridiculing the president is a product of the liberal media.~^ I thought that was just the medias perception of their job. Why did the liberal media go into a feeding frenzy on Clintons problems, nominally one of their own? I personally would like to see the media, show some respect for the office, even if it means turning thier eyes away from some of the warts.

but he doesn't have dyslexia. shows how informed you are.

but he doesn't have dyslexia. shows how informed you are.

so what are you saying? if someone doesn't have a branded disability it is ok to make fun and ridicule them?

quite frankly I have worked with dyslexic youth and president bush has shown most if not all of the signs as you would expect to see from someone suffering from dyslexia. Obviously something like this wouldn't be public for the sake of his good reputation, but the facts remain, he has speaking disabilities and pronunciation issues and the liberal media finds this to be a fascinating topic for humor.

Somehow that humor fades when we are talking about an eleven year old child that can't read a complete sentence.

 

[Aihyah]

no, its just that your basing your arguement on false information. it shows something about the poster.

LOL great post


Few of my friends are dyslexic or whatever and to me Bush seems to have dyslexia at a very high stage.

 

[67gt500]

no, its just that your basing your arguement on false information. it shows something about the poster.

perhaps you have some sort of mental deficiency if after watching bush over the last year you haven't been able to conclude that he has some sort of speaking disability.

or perhaps you are one of those liberals who finds it convenient to make fun of the man over something he cannot control.

 

[RossGr]

Maybe, if he is dyslexic, we should look at is as an example of what can be accomplished inspite of this "disability". Just perhaps it is not some much of a disability as it is a lable. Maybe, you should be very careful about applying this lable to children, then lowering your expectations for them. I am of the same generation as GWB, there were NO dsylexics in our classes. The name was not used. I am sure that many of the childern, perhaps GWB and maybe even myself would have been labled dyslexic if the condition had been recoginzed. To catagorize and then have modified expectations for those labled is a bad practice. Might it be that when you encounter an 11 yr old who cannot write a sentence, if you lable him, and say, "Well, he can't because he is dyslexic" you will cripple him for life. Now you have given him an excuse to quit, to not even try, because "he can't". I fully believe that all dyslexia means is that you learn different, you are completely cabable but it simply takes more effort, or perhaps different methods to teach and learn.

So what if GWB is dyslexic, he is still a moron.






j/k, He is the prez after all.

 

[67gt500]

whether you choose to label the inability or not... making fun of him for it is hypocritical for the left.

I've yet to hear someone say otherwise.

Hee hee - this post is hilarious. I regard the whole concept of a "liberal media" really laughable anyway, but in any event it seems ridiculous to attack the media based on the misbegotten notion that the president is somehow disabled, regardless of his malapropisms. The president is always fair game if he missteps in public, regardless of party - remember a little incident with a blue dress?

<< obvious disorder >>



why obvious ? are you a speech pathologist ? i certainly am not. i cannot make a diagnosis
of a speech problem if i don't have the training to do so. i don't think you do either. what
is obvious though is your need to conjure up a bogeyman to explain away your insecurities.

 

[Moonbeam]

George Bush is our greatest president 67gt500 and I greatly resent your back hand attempt to say there is something wrong with his brain. All it takes to spread these malicious rumors and tag him with a disability is people like you jumping in out of the blue and planting these suspicions in our minds. Next thing you know and you will be accusing us of calling him the AntiChrist. Yea, I know who sent you.

 

[Czar]

Greatest President? he has only been a president for few months, way to soon to judge him either way.

 

[Kosugi]

Czar,

that was sarcasm.


But seriously, it isn't the liberal press. It's the press in general. They make money from news stories, so it is in their best interest, not the president to pke fun at them, regardless of political party.


Lighten up!

 

[classy]

He has dyslexia? I have never heard that. It won't stop me from bad mouthing him though if its true. I finally seen that show about Bush. Its pretty good. It gives some good laughs.

 

[rmeijer]

This post is pure drivel.

 

[Red Dawn]

When all is said and done Bush will rank up there with Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln.

Here's why that happens...

liberals - act before thinking, short term solutions
conservatives - think and plan first, then act, long term solutions

 

[Doboji]

It's not a liberal thing.... it's a media thing... every political party is hypocritical to a degree... don't even get me started on the conservative hypocracy.... so why blame this on liberals?... why not blame it on pointless reporting. And frankly I think that Bush's inability to speak well is a significant problem... I mean look at how he does almost nothing in regards to foreign policy... he sends everyone else to do the negotiations... and I think that part of being a president is dealing with media criticism satyr and ridicule. It's a big job, and if you don't have the skin for it... don't run... lets not baby step the guy... he's running our country... we cannot afford to &quot;take it easy&quot; on him.

[Aihyah]

wonder why he even bothered to post. guess he was sick of hearing about republican hipocracy. family values!... while cheating/divorcing like crazy.

Seems to be the other way around actually.

I am not but the two cousins who have worked with me at the learning center are and they have both spoken with me on this issue. It is apparent to them that the president suffers from some sort of disability.

Regardless, I don't see how attacking me makes your mantra look any shinier.

 

[67gt500]

I guess it is fair to say that this is an actual problem considering the replies I've heard so far have yet to attack the statement and only attack the poster.

If any of you defending the liberal press have anything worthwhile to say I'd like to hear it otherwise I will remain convinced that they are hypocritical. And ignoring the issue by tellin gme that conservatives preaching about family values are hypocritical won't get you very far because I'm already perfectly aware of that. But we aren't talking about Livingston and his family we are talking about a group which controls the spin.

 

[WordSmith2000]

Well, the &quot;liberal&quot; press certainly protected Clinton during his 8 years, didn't it???

Almost every major media mogul in this country (Exception Ted Turner) is conservative. If you think CNN, CNBC, or FOX are &quot;liberal&quot; then you have not been watching much news in the last 10 years.

Calling GWB dyslexic is about as bad an insult you can give...to dyslexic people. Drink and drugs are what screwed him up, not any genetic miscue. Can you please point me to someone in the &quot;liberal media&quot; who has specifically said that GWB has dyslexia, and then made a joke about it?

You can't?

Please STFU, liar.

It is pointless to attack drool. One does not attack the drool but rather the droolee.
