I think it's worse than that. I don't mind complaints about me blaming bush, but I really get sick of being accused of "hating" a man I never met. Like they try and remove the rational basis for my disagreement with his administration's foreign policy.

And then the second prong of that is that I dislike the message for the messenger or some variant, like I'm being partisan? Which is just absurd given that I'm non-partisan. But it doesn't matter anymore, so I usually just not respond to those kinds of statements because they just make no sense anymore.
