Your default seems to be, if its looks bad, and its about Bush, or is about a current, or proposed member of his administration, than it must be true. That isn't a very reasonable way of looking at things. Even if Bush was as awful as you think he is, and most of his administration was similarly bad, a lot of the accusations against them would still be false. Your the liberal counterpart of the conservatives who thought Bill and/or Hillary killed Vince Foster. You'll believe anything bad about Bush. You understand Ted well. Republican = bad - - - Democrat = good. But then, he claims to be an independent.

So? Scott M. said the Koran incident was patently untrue. A few days later, we find out its a little bit true. It it wasn't flushed or if the flushing is unconfirmed the original story was "patently untrue". Yes, it turns out a Koran was not flushed but rather simply thrown in a toilet. However, there were several known desecrations.........I guess so long as they were not examples of a Koran being flushed down a toilet, Scott and Bush are fine. How much you want to bet when all is said and done, its a lot true? I think the worst accusations are more untrue than true, at this point they are merely unsubstantiated. Your default seems to be, if its looks bad, and its about Bush, or is about a current, or proposed member of his administration, than it must be true. That happens because we develop a history with people and that history causes us to form opinions. My opinion of the Bush administration is that they mostly pervert the truth........rarely outright lying but rather provide a perversion that supports their unique vision of the world. That isn't a very reasonable way of looking at things. Reasonable or unreasonable......its human nature. Even if Bush was as awful as you think he is, and most of his administration was similarly bad, a lot of the accusations against them would still be false. So? Enough of my accusations have proven to be true which gives my opinion creditability at least in my own mind and in the minds of some others. Your the liberal counterpart of the conservatives who thought Bill and/or Hillary killed Vince Foster. Hardly. I am not finding fault with Bush for political gain. I can't handle incompetence on any level and the Bush administration is hardly competent. Plus, it is destroying any positive image we had in the world and its global polices are horrifically ineffective and damaging. And this is not stuff I am making up like was done with the Clintons and Foster. You'll belive anything bad about Bush. And you believe nothing bad about Bush even when ample evidence is provided.
