Giving you the chance to show that you know more than the neo-con talking points that are disseminated amongst the ranks, but which have no actual basis in reality. Should we stop?

When Kerry was running for president, we were told that it was unpatriotic of him to criticize Bush. He never advocated killing Bush. He never advocated kidnapping anyone (though, funny you should bring that up in light of Cheney/Rumsfeld's extraordinary rendition program which kidnapped American and Canadian citizens and sent them to Syria to have electrical shocks applied to their genitals). He simply said that Bush was wrong. And we were told that it was unpatriotic to say that the President is wrong. We were also, incidentally, told that the terrorists were trying their best to get Kerry elected, and that Kerry was helping to advance their cause.

The simple fact is that the Republicans will say anything to scare the American people into letting them rule. They don't care if it's true, false, unpatriotic, libelous, illegal, or immoral. They'll do it. And then when they get into power, they continue to lie through their teeth about everything under the sun, because when you get right down to it the Republican agenda is to widen as much as possible the gap between the ultra-rich elite and everyone else. They know that as soon as the public figures this out, their party is sunk, and therefore they have to spin fabrications left and right to cover it up.
