For All the Hypocrites Who Accuse John Kerry of Flip-Flopping and Still Support Bush

Merry Christmas, bfp. Bring on the excuses.

I'm glad to see they cited the sources for the quotes. Too many articles of this nature don't do that.

I'm not going to attempt to defend the man because I don't agree with many of his stances, but a couple of these I would consider fortunate reversals. For example:

9. One Hour Limit for 9/11 Commission Testimony

BUSH LIMITS TESTIMONY IN FRONT OF 9/11 COMMISSION TO ONE HOUR... "President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have placed strict limits on the private interviews they will grant to the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, saying that they will meet only with the panel's top two officials and that Mr. Bush will submit to only a single hour of questioning, commission members said Wednesday." [NY Times, 2/26/04]

...BUSH SETS NO TIMELIMIT FOR TESTIMONY "The president's going to answer all of the questions they want to raise. Nobody's watching the clock." [White House spokesman Scott McClellan, 3/10/04]

or

7. Creation of the 9/11 Commission

BUSH OPPOSES CREATION OF INDEPENDENT 9/11 COMMISSION... "President Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11." [CBS News, 5/23/02]

...BUSH SUPPORTS CREATION OF INDEPENDENT 9/11 COMMISSION "President Bush said today he now supports establishing an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks." [ABC News, 09/20/02]

Both of these seem like positive reversals, regardless of the cause(both being public pressure iirc).

I so totally misunderstood propaganda. I thought it was unfair, and generally untruths or partial truths about a subject in order deceptively sway the public opinion about a topic.

Thank you for setting me straight that "propagana" really means anything that you people can't argue against, and stands against that facade of a partial-truth support system you've set up for yourselves.

I think it was meant as a joke since he couldn't come up with any argumentative response.

I thought the democratic powers that be bestowed humor and art on the liberals, and affinity for shooting anything that moves just because it might be a threat to religion, personal safety, or the democratic way (whether it really is or not) was bestowed up on the conservatives.

That's pretty much right... despite the wording which took me 10 minutes to decipher.
